【題目】閱讀理解
Disposing(處理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.
During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dumpsite. Residents or trash haulers(垃圾托運(yùn)者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically(定期的) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.
Factories, mills, and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.
Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society. The first problem is space. Dumps, which are now called landfills, are most needed in heavily populated areas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅區(qū)的)neighborhoods. Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.
Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.
Recycling efforts have become commonplace, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a city's reusable waste.
（1）The most suitable title for this passage would be ______.
A.Waste Disposal Problem
B.Waste Pollution Dangers
C.Ways of Getting Rid of Waste
D.Places for Disposing Waste
（2）During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for ______.
A.burying it
B.burning it
C.recycling it
D.throwing it into rivers
（3）What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?
A.Farm areas accept waste from the city in modern society.
B.There is cheap land to bury waste in modem society.
C.Ways to deal with waste in modem society stay the same.
D.It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modem society.

【答案】
（1）A
（2）C
（3）C
【解析】文章主要討論垃圾處理的問(wèn)題。
（1）本題考查對(duì)于全文主旨大意的把握并要求我們據(jù)此選擇最佳標(biāo)題。文章主要討論垃圾處理的問(wèn)題(A項(xiàng))，至于處理垃圾的地點(diǎn)(D項(xiàng))、垃圾污染的危害(B項(xiàng))和處理垃圾的方式(C項(xiàng))都是垃圾處理問(wèn)題的一個(gè)方面，不能以偏概全。根據(jù)句意可知選A。
（2） 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。recycle意為“循環(huán)利用”。對(duì)于垃圾的循環(huán)利用是最近才開始的一項(xiàng)技術(shù)，18世紀(jì)的時(shí)候是沒有的。文章第二、三段明確提到其余三種垃圾處理方法。根據(jù)句意可知選C。
（3） 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第四段提到landfills(垃圾掩埋法)和long-distance trash hauling(垃圾長(zhǎng)途拖運(yùn))，可見現(xiàn)代社會(huì)人們所使用的垃圾處理方法還和以前一樣。根據(jù)句意可知選C。

Do you feel the cold? the answer is “yes”, then why not try a cold bath or shower? This unusual advice comes from a natural health therapist(治療專家) in Germany, research is about the effects of cold water.
Most people are brought up to believe that it’s important for them (keep) warm during the cold weather, with extra clothing and heaters, but research shows that the opposite (be) true. At a German health centre, hundreds of (visit) follow this advice by taking (they)first cold bath at 6 am, and come out feeling much more (relax). This is due to the fact that the cold water (increase) blood sugar levels, the heart beat and breathing rate. Research at the medical centre of Hanover has shown that those taking daily cold baths have 50% (few)colds and breathing problems than those who don’t. Studies in London have also proven that such treatment will help protect against heart attacks. For those people who find the idea of such behaviour unthinkable, then doing exercise such as running or cycling regularly is a good alternative.

Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication----having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas.
On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning(掃描)equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
A. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time.
B. They will possibly affect their benefits.
C. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people.
D. He couldn't remember even simple tasks.
E. What do the doctors worry about?
F. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
G. What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful?
