From 1978 to 1988, beverage containers accounted for a steadily decreasing percentage of the total weight of household garbage in the United States. The increasingly widespread practice of recycling aluminum and glass was responsible for most of this decline. However, although aluminum recycling was more widely practiced in this period than glass recycling, it was found that the weight of glass bottles in household garbage declined by a greater percentage than the weight of aluminum cans.
Which of the following, if true of the United States in the period 1978 to 1988, most helps to account for the finding?
(A) Glass bottles are significantly heavier than aluminum cans of comparable size. (B) Recycled aluminum cans were almost all beverage containers, but a significant fraction of the recycled glass bottles had contained products other than beverages. (C) Manufacturers replaced many glass bottles, but few aluminum cans, with plastic containers. (D) The total weight of glass bottles purchased by households increased at a slightly faster rate than the total weight of aluminum cans. (E) In many areas, glass bottles had to be sorted by color of the glass before being recycled, whereas aluminum cans required no sorting.
这题当时看到A选项就迷惑了,自认为就是正确答案。
请大家帮忙分析下是哪里出现了问题。
先看题干,说饮料在家用垃圾中被丢得越来越少,主要原因是因为回收。虽然铝制的玻璃的回收很多,但却发现玻璃的总重量减少得更多。
当时想的就: 比如,以前是2000个铝的,1000个玻璃的,回收了铝1000个,回收了玻璃300个。但因为玻璃重很多,所以即使回收的数量少了,
但总重要还是下降得更多。
不知道这样的思路错在那里。
大家说说看你们是怎样做对这道题目的。
