Computer technology is advancing so fast that old hardware quickly becomes completely obsolete. The electronic waster (e-waste) from this constantly growing field is polluting the environment, both here and abroad.
Computers contain toxic (有毒的) materials such as lead. Despite the danger of throwing these hazardous materials in a landfill (垃圾填埋场), that’s exactly where tons of computers end up. Americans reuse or recycle only about 10 percent of the 50 million computers they replace each year, according to ABC News. Eighty percent is being stockpiled (囤积) , which could create even bigger problems in the future, and the remaining 10 percent is landfilled. Throwing e-waste in landfills creates a potential for toxic waste to leak into our soil and groundwater. Because environmental stands for landfills are tougher in the United States than in many other countries, e-waste is often exported, especially to some developing countries.
Some countries are creating policies to deal with the growing e-waste problem
. In the Netherlands , you can bring your old computer to the seller when buying a new one, and the seller must by law accept it free of charge. Japan passed a law in 2001 requiring producers to recycle certain parts.
In the united states, a movement called the Computer TakeBack Campaign is demanding that producers take more responsibility for disposing of (处理) old computers, California and Massachusetts recently prohibited certain computer parts in landfills, while Apple and IBM take back computers for about a $ 30 fee. Gateway is one step ahead: They will pay you $ 50 for recycling your old computer when you buy a new one from them. Lastly, many nonprofit programs accept used equipment, and services have popped up that distribute old computers to schools and other organizations. [br] According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
选项
A、Japan passed a law to address the e-waste problem.
B、Compared with stockpile, landfill is a better and safer method to deal with e-waste.
C、Apple will pay you $ 50 for recycling your old computer when you buy a new one from them.
D、Old computers are safe to the environment even when improperly disposed of.
答案
A
解析
A项意为“日本出台一项法律解决电子废弃物问题”,根据第三段最后一句“Japan passed a law in 2001 requiring producers to recycle certain parts.”可知A项表述正确;B项意为 “与囤积相比,更好更安全地处理电子废弃物的方法是将其运送垃圾场”,表述错误;C项意为“如 果顾客在苹果购买新电脑,苹果公司会付给顾客50美金去循环使用旧电脑”,由最后一段内容可 知表述错误;D项意为“即使不当处理旧电脑也不会对环境造成危害”,此说法错误。故选A。
