1. (2017·常熟模拟) 阅读下列短文, 从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项.

    Water has always been necessary for our health. Then what kind of water do you drink, tap water or bottled water? Do you get a healthier, safer and more refreshing(提神的) drink when you buy bottled water off the shelf? My answer is "no", and doing so hurts the environment and your wallet.

    First of all, there are no studies showing that bottled water is better for you, and in fact, it may be less safe than tap water. A study of over l, 000 people in Belfast found that they couldn't tell the differences between tap water and bottled water when asked which was purer, more pleasant, natural and refreshing. Bottled water can come from springs(泉水) or from the mountains. It can also be treated, for example, to have iron(铁) removed. It is reported that there is around 82.8g of CO₂ for a half-liter(半公升) bottle. This will be harmful to people's health when everyone's drinking it. However, bottled water is popular with many people. Its success is from excellent marketing and our laziness in filling reusable bottles with tap water.

    Secondly, bottled water can cost between 500 to 1, 000 times more than dap water. In 2015, the UK drank 2.4 billion liters o of bottled water, and by 2016 this had risen to 2.6 billion liters. Yet, you get this from the tap, for free.

    Besides, recycling is improving, but in America, it is said that only a quarter of bottles can be used again. So is it really so much better that it is worth both paying for and harming the earth? Or should you stop buying it?

    As a general rude, I believe that most of us should enjoy more tap water, and stop using so many bottles.
