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 dump site. residents or trash haulers (垃圾拖运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. periodically 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 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 nonexistent. awareness (意识) of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people cannot longer pay to get rid of waste. the amount of waste, however, continues to grow. recycling efforts have become common place, 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 citys reusable waste.64. the most suitable title for this passage would be .a. places for disposing waste b. waste pollution dangersc. ways of getting rid of waste d. waste disposal problem65. during the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many ways except for .a. burying it b. recycling it c. burning it d. throwing it into rivers66. what can be inferred from the third paragraph?a. farm areas will continue accepting waste from the city in modern society.b. there is cheap land to bury waste in modern society.c. it is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society.d. ways to deal with waste in modern society stay the same.67. the main purpose of writing this article is to .a. draw peoples attention to waste managementb. warn people of the pollution dangers we are facingc. call on people to take part in recycling programsd. tell people a better way to get rid of the waste4、参考答案-d b c ahow far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to know? far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease? these days thats more than an academic question, as tracy smith reports in our cover story.there are now more than a thousand genetic（基因的）tests, for everything from baldness to breast cancer, and the list is growing. question is, do you really want to know what might eventually kill you? for instance, nobel prize-winning scientist james watson, one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for alzheimer（老年痴呆症）.“if i tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease, that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious, through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you. it could really mess you up.” said dr. robert green, a harvard geneticist.“every ache and pain,” smith suggested, could be understood as “the beginning of the end.”“that s right. if you ever worried you were at risk for alzheimers disease, then every time you cant find your car in the parking lot, you think the disease has started.”dr. green has been thinking about this issue for years. he led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for alzheimers. it was thought that people who got bad news would, for lack of a better medical term, freak out. but green and his team found that there was“no significant difference”between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives. in fact, most people think they can handle it. people who ask for the information usually can handle the information, good or bad, said green.71.the first paragraph is meant to_.a. ask some questionsb. introduce the topicc. satisfy readers curiosityd. describe an academic fact【答案】b【解析】通过两个问题引出话题。72.which of the following is true of james watson？a. he is strongly in favor of the present genetic tests.b. he
