网考网解析：
本题是细节题。文中第二段末句有consider the disadvantages，第三段即是电子书籍缺点的体现，其中指出...as well as creating nonbiodegradable(不可生物降解)trash。A选项“它们不能分解成无害的东西”与此吻合。对照第四段的...e-books save paper and trees, ...可知它们不是消耗而是节约自然资源，故B选项错；C选项说它们“释放出毒气”是文中未提及的信息；原文最后一段强调电子书籍能否recyclable(可再利用的)是其能否被社会认可接受的前提，故排除D选项。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
