ghencouraginghardwaremanufacturerstomaketherepair,reuseandrecyclingofhardwareprofitable,oratleastcost-neutral.（只有制造商才能解決這個問題。一個更具經(jīng)濟可持續(xù)性和政治上可行的解決方案是鼓勵硬件制造商使硬件的修理、再利用和再循環(huán)變得有利可圖，或者至少不增加費用）”可知，作者認為解決電子垃圾問題的關鍵在于硬件生產(chǎn)商，他們應該遵守可持續(xù)發(fā)展的原則，生產(chǎn)便于維修以及可回收利用的電子產(chǎn)品。故選A項。第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分)閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Maybeyou'vespentmuchtimesearchingfortheperfectsmallbusinessidea,andnowyouthinkyou'vefoundit.
