《和平大使》一书评述说:“英国的根本利益在于防止德国的崩溃,只要德国是一个统一的整体,欧洲就能或多或少地保持均势。”英国在下列哪些事件中的态度体现了上述观点?(    )

答案

答案:D

题目分析:本题主要考查巴黎和会上各国的斗争。和会上,英国处于自己利益的考虑,反对法国过分削弱德国的要求,如赔款问题。英国参加的洛迦诺会议,使德国取得了与其他国家平等的地位,为德国的重新崛起铺平了道路。华盛顿会议是处理帝国主义国家尤其是美日在远东和太平洋地区的利益。故①②③符合题意,④不合题意。故应选D。

A small town in southwest Britain is banning(禁止) plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste—a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.

Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1500,agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday.They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.

Last month,San Franciso became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags.Internationally,laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland,where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out.Bangladesh already bans them,and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.

Modbury,about 225 miles southwest of London,has also declared a bag amnesty(宽限期),allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home.They will be sent for traveling.

The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking,who saw the effect of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman.She said response(反应) in the town so far had been “really positive”.

“Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway,”Hosking told Sky News Television.

The Worldwatch Institute,an environmental research agency,states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone.More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.
