P6: Only recently have investigators considered using these plants to clean up soil and waste sites that have been contaminated by toxic levels of heavy metals – an environmentally friendly approach known as phytoremediation. This scenario begins with the planting of hyperaccumulating species in the target area, such as an abandoned mine or an irrigation pond contaminated by runoff. Toxic minerals would first be absorbed by roots but later relocated to the stem and leaves. A harvest of the shoots would remove the toxic compounds off site to be burned or composted to recover the metal for industrial uses. After several years of cultivation and harvest, the site would be restored at a cost much lower than the price of excavation and reburial, the standard practice for remediation of contaminated soils. For examples, in field trials, the plant alpine pennycress removed zinc and cadmium from soils near a zinc smelter, and Indian mustard , native to Pakistan and India, has been effective in reducing levels of selenium salts by 50 percent in contaminated soils.
It can be inferred from P6 that compared with standard practices for remediation of contaminated soils, phytoremediation
A.does not allow for the use of the removed minerals for industrial purposes.
B.can be faster to implement
C.is equally friendly to the environment
D.is less suitable for soils that need to be used within a short period of time.
为什么答案是D,如果是D,文中应该提到phytoremediation的时间比standard practices for remediation of contaminated soils的时间要长,可是我没有从文中找到,文章只讲了several years of cultivation and harvest, the site would be restored at a cost much lower than the price of excavation and reburial。难道默认了standard practices for remediation of contaminated soils不用several years?这个没有逻辑呀~
A=说phytoremediation不能使removed minerals用于industrial purposes,原文说A harvest of the shoots would remove the toxic compounds off site to be burned or composted to recover the metal for industrial uses. 堆肥后recover metal可以用于industrial uses.与原文opposite。
B=可以更快实施,原文无方法实施上哪个更快哪个更慢的比较。无法推断。
C=phytoremediation与其他方法同样对环境无害,原文an environmentally friendly approach known as phytoremediation.只表明phytoremediation对环境无害,并没有相关信息反映其他方法也无害,not given信息,无法推断。更无环境这方面的比较。
D=楼上那位说的对
