Disposing（处理）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 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 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．

The most suitable title for this passage would be ______．

       A．Places for Disposing Waste     B．Waste Pollution Dangers

       C．Ways of Getting Rid of Waste       D．Waste Disposal Problem

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 rivers

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 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．

The main purpose of writing this article is to ______．

       A．draw people’s attention to waste management

       B．warn people of the pollution dangers we are facing

       C．call on people to take part in recycling programs

       D．tell people a better way to get rid of the waste

On 26 May 1928, at a meeting in Amsterdam (阿姆斯特丹), the FIFA congress (国际足联) decided that a new competition open to all its members should be played. A year later in Barcelona it was agreed that Uruguay(乌拉圭), the strongest football team at the period of time., should celebrate 100 years of independence（独立） by hosting the first World Cup the following year.

    Only 13 nations came to the opening of the games and nine from South America. All games were played in three stadiums in Montevideo(蒙得维的亚) and, as expected, the South American countries were stronger, although the European teams did not bring shame.

There is a joke among flu researchers: “If you've seen one flu season, you've seen one flu season.” The joke is about the unpredictable nature of the flu virus. Every year it looks different, and every strain (类型) follows its own pattern — it's the reason why new strains like H1N1 are extremely difficult to predict.

Dr. Michael Osterholm is a former adviser to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. “I know less about influenza today than I did 10 years ago,” he says in a joking way. “Every stone we've turned over, we get more questions.”

The flu rectums every season and the world experiences terrible pandemics (全国或全世界范围流行的疾病), but researchers still do not understand why some strains infect people and others do not; they are not entirely sure about how the flu is transmitted; nor do they understand why some patients become seriously ill while others develop mild symptoms (症状). As a result, when a new strain shows up — like H1N1 — they often have little information to fall back on, and the lessons of previous pandemics are only somewhat helpful. While researchers are still putting together a complete picture of H1N1, for example, its most striking difference with the seasonal flu is that the elder1y are not the most vulnerable (易受攻击的) population.

Influenza's unpredictable nature makes it a moving target for researchers, says researcher Allison Aiello at the University of Michigan. “Even if we had complete seasonal flu data from the past, it wouldn't be much helpful for a new strain of influenza,” she explains.

Whi1e researchers are frustrated by the holes in their knowledge, they say, however, that the pub1ic--health community is generally doing a very good job responding to H1N1 with seasonal flu data that do exist. Studying influenza, says Osterholm, is “like looking through the windows of a house you can't get into because the door is locked.” Gathering the data researchers do have is like “looking through the windows to get a pretty good picture of what the inside looks like.”

One thing researchers do know for sure: the best way for people to protect against H1N1 is to get the vaccine once it becomes available to them.

What do we learn about H1N1 from the passage?

A. In fact it is not a kind of influenza virus.

B. It is quite possible to predict it in theory.

C. Old people are more likely to contract it than kids.

D. Receiving vaccines will be effective to protect against it.

The underlined phrase “fall back on” in Para. 3 probably means      .

A. rely on       B. pass on       C. col1ect      D. exchange

What do we know about previous seasonal flu data?

A. It is useless to study them.      

B. It is still necessary to study them.

C. They are misleading most of the time.

D. They are much more helpful than expected.

Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A. Outbreaks of the flu  B. Symptoms of the flu

C. Mysteries of the flu   D. Risks of the flu
