As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult. During the eighteent
29、h century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site. Residents or trash haulers (垃圾托运经营者 ) 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 buri
30、ed. 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
31、 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 resi
32、dential (住宅区的 ) 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 (意识 ) of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict ru
33、les 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 recycl
34、ing 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 Dangers （ C） Ways of Getting Rid of Waste （ D） Waste Disposal Problem 65 During the 18th century,
35、 people disposed their waste in many ways EXCEPT for _. （ A） burying it （ B） recycling it （ C） burning it （ D） throwing it into rivers 66 What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph? （ A） Farm areas accept waste from the city in modem society. （ B） There is cheap land to bury waste in modem socie
36、ty. （ C） It is difficult to find space to bury waste in modern society. （ D） Ways to deal with waste in modem society stay the same. 67 “Pop“ is short for popular, and popular, in its true sense, means “of or for the people.“ The. Pop Revolution of the 1960s changed the pattern of English life. It g
37、ave the young an important influence they had never had before. Just how far-reaching that influence is can be judged from a look at advertisements. The young are now regarded as one of the most important markets for consumer goods. The Pop Revolution has broken down social barriers among the young.
38、 It has also helped to seep away (消除 ) many of the psychological barrier (心理障碍 ), which gave the British their reputation for being cold and reserved. It was in the 1960s that people in Britain began to talk about the “permissive society“ and “generation gap“. The teenage girls who screamed over the
39、 Beetles, and the teenage boys who copied the Beetles and grew their hair long and were no longer ashamed of wearing pretty clothes, were simply breaking through traditional British reserve or fear of showing their feeling. One of the main reasons why boys and girls are such good companions today is
40、 that they are ,lo longer afraid of showing their feelings towards one another. A lot of older people who criticize them are probably just jealous because they could not or did not behave in the same way when they were young. 67 As a result of the Pop Revolution, the young _. （ A） are paid more atte
41、ntion in society than the old （ B） are looked down upon by the old people （ C） buy a lot of consumer goods （ D） want to exert their influence 68 The underlined word “reserved“ in the third paragraph probably means _. （ A） eager to be successful （ B） unwilling to show ones feelings （ C） ashamed of me
42、eting strangers （ D） proud of making friends 69 According to the author, a lot of the older people who criticize the young are probably_. （ A） worried about the young （ B） afraid of the young （ C） envious of the young （ D） proud of the young 70 The main idea of the passage is that the Pop Revolution
43、 _. （ A） has made older people jealous of the young （ B） has made older people cold and conservative （ C） has caused the young to behave wildly （ D） has exerted a positive influence on the young 71 After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During
44、this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your hea
45、rt beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to another. Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to m
46、ove more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement. If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There
47、is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep. 71 Which of the following is the best title of the passage? （ A） Sleep. （ B） Good health. （ C） Dreams. （ D） Work and Rest. 72 The underlined word “drowsy“ in the last paragraph means _. （ A） sick （ B） stand up （ C） tired （ D） a lit
48、tle sleepy 73 This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _. （ A） dream more often （ B） have poor health （ C） tired （ D） breathe quickly 74 During REM, _. （ A） your eyes move quickly （ B） you dream （ C） you breathe slowly （ D） both A and B 75 Computers have many uses today. Co
49、mputer can solve difficult problems and control complex machines. Many people use small computers called calculators to add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers quickly. Scientists use large computers to solve many problems at the same time. You can play games with computers, and some computers can help you learn languages. The Kurzweil Reading Machine is a special kind of computer. It can read books for blind peo
