问题     I find it annoying and funny when I think about how we use protective or decorative wrappings (装饰性包装) in this country.
   When I come home from the supermarket and start to unpack, I am always shocked at the layers of wrappings we cover our food with.
   There is hardly anything we buy that doesn’t come in at least two wrappings, and then several of them are gathered by the shop assistant and put into a small bag. Then several of the small bags are grouped together and put into a big bag. If you have several big bags with small bags in them, they give you a cardboard box to put the packages-in-the-little-bags-in-the-big-bags in.
   A lot of things we buy wouldn’t really need any protective wrapping at all. The skin of an orange protects an orange pretty well for most of its natural life, but we aren’t satisfied with what nature has given it. We wrap them in plastic or put them in a net bag, and then in a paper bag. The orange inside the skin, inside the plastic which is in the paper bag, must wonder where it is.
   A box of biscuits often has waxed paper (蜡纸) next to the biscuits, a cardboard box holding the food and then a decorative wrapping around it.
   A relative of ours bought a new sofa recently because she liked the fine leather(皮革) it was covered with. She liked it so much that she didn’t want it to get dirty, so she bought a cloth cover to put over it.
   We may never again see the leather she’s protecting. [br] What does the author think of his relative who bought a sofa?
选项 A、She should not buy a leather sofa.
B、She should not cover her sofa with a cloth.
C、She should not forbid the visitors to see the leather.
D、She should not allow the leather cover to get dirty.
答案 B
解析 分析推理题。短文最后两段举了作者一位亲戚买真皮沙发的故事为例。由于短文主旨就是反对不必要的包装，故这个例子也是为论证这一主旨服务的。而在短文最后一段，作者指出：We may never again see the leather she’s protecting(我们也许再也见不到她所保护的那层皮革了)，由作者所使用的语气即可推知，作者认为这位亲戚是不该把沙发用布盖起来的，选[B]。
