阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
The chances are that you made up your mind about smoking a long time ago
and decided it's not for you.
The chances are equally good that you know a lot of smokers there are, after all about 60 million of them, work with them, play with them, and get along with them very well.
And finally it's a pretty safe bet that you're open-minded and interested in all the various issues about smokers and non-smokers or you wouldn't be reading this.
And those three things make you really important today.
Because they mean that yours is the voice not the smoker's, and not the anti-smoker's that will determine how much of society's efforts should go into building walls that separate us and how much into the search for solutions that bring us together.
For one sad result of the emphasis (强调) on building walls is the different uses of millions of dollars from scientific research on the causes and cures of diseases which, when all is said and done, still strike the non-smoker as well as the smoker.
One famous health organization to cite (引用) but a single instance, now spends 98 cents of every publicly-contributed dollar on “education”, much of it in anti-smoking propaganda (宣传) and only 2 cents on research.
There will always be some who want to build walls, who want to separate people from people and to a certain degree, even these may serve society. The anti-smoking wall-builders have, fairly speaking, helped to know choices more clearly.
But our guess, and certainly our hope, is that you are among the far greater number who know that walls can't stand long, and over the long run, we can serve society's interests better by tolerating one another and by working together.
Whatever advantage walls may have, they can never move our society toward fundamental solutions. People who work together on common problems, common solutions can.
1．What is the implied meaning of the word “wall” in the passage?
[ ]

[ ]
A．the majority of the adults are non-smokers
B．many walls will be built to separate the smokers and nonsmokers
C．smoking as a social problem has long been discussed, argued and researched

In the 1940s, Pinehaven Park was one of Crafton City's loveliest recreation(娱乐)areas. Over 40 acres of woods and fields were open to the public. In the 1950s, part of the park was taken over by Crafton City's garbage. Fifteen acres were to be used for landfill disposal(理置). As time went on, more and more of the park was used for garage disposal and less for recreation. Two years ago, the park was closed to the public for good. Along with household garbage, industrial chemicals had for years been dumped (倾倒)in the Pinehaven landfill. These poisonous chemicals had begun to seep(渗)back up through the soil. All of Pinehaven Park had become dangerously polluted.
Last year, the fish in the Crafton River began to die. After a series of investigations(研究), it became clear that the people of Crafton City were not to blame. 100～150 miles upstream, big paper mills were dumping industrial wastes into the river. Little by little, the level of poison in the river began to rise. Finally, it became so polluted that the fish themselves could no longer survive.
Downtown Crafton used to be a quiet area. Ten years of remarkable growth changed that in a big hurry. But with Crafton City's new prosperity(繁荣)came a new problem: air pollution. And it is a serious problem. Air pollution levels in Crafton are regularly reaching those of the nation's large industrial cities.

D．Industrial growth and progress have resulted in the pollution of Crafton City's water, air, and soil.
(2)According to the passage, what portion of the park had originally been marked for use as a garbage dump?
[ ]
A．Less than half B．Exactly half
C．About one third D．Most of it
(3)As it is used in the passage, the phrase“for good”means ________.
[ ]
A．practically B．for ever
