For each of them are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.</p><p><strong>Passage One</strong></p><p>In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage(饮料) containers. Within a year. Consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products. But because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buried in landfills(垃圾填埋场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic.</p><p>Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled(回收利用)) in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc. </p><p>Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in part of New York, amounts to saving of more than S100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.</p><p><br/></p><p>51.

A

回答：参考答案：4
解析：<p>【D】本题问题是“关于饮料瓶组约州颁布了什么规章制度?”,“ New York/ beverage containers/ regulation是重点定位词,定位在第一段第一行“ New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage意思是“纽约城命令商场对饮料容器征收押金”:分析选项:A饮料公司应该负责收集并再利用丢弃的苏打瓶:B.商场收集丢弃的饮料瓶用于回收再利用:C.对于用过的饮料瓶征收费用用于回收再利用:D.消费者必须支付饮料瓶的费用并通过归还它们而拿回这部分费用:因为定位处是商场征收,因此说明消费者支付,所以本题选D。</p>
