Candidates have to spend a great deal of time and effor

The incumbents (those already in office) have less time to do thief jobs since they must 【B6】 so many money raising events.Another 【B7】 is the fear that candidates will be owned or 【B8】 by the “special interest groups“ that give money to their campaigns. Sometimes this certainly seems

As more and more pe
27、ople 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 (垃圾托运经营者) would transport household ru
28、bbish, 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
29、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 a
30、reas. Such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose. Property is either too expensive or too close to residential (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
31、distance of major city areas is almost 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 can no longer pay to get rid of waste.The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.Recyclin
32、g 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 citys reusable waste.58 The most suitable title for this passage would be_.（A）Places for Disposing Waste（B） Waste
33、 Pollution Dangers（C） Ways of Getting Rid of Waste（D）Waste Disposal Problem59 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 rivers60 What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?（A）Farm areas accept was
34、te 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.61 Life on land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it has existed in
35、 the water for perhaps much as 3 000 million years. When we think of the first life on land, we probably think of strange animals coming out of the oceans, but, in fact, no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first. Plants had to be on land before animals arrived. They supp
36、lied the first land animals with the surrounding and food necessary, since the plants are the only form of life thatis able to get and store energy.The first plants to exist out of the water were probably certain kinds of algae (海藻) which were followed by other plants that grew close to the ground a
37、nd needed water in which to reproduce. Once their move to land had been made, however, evolution (进化) took place quickly. By the end of 100 million years, plants had developed their roots (根), and some had got tree-like forms since height was very important in gaining sunlight. About 300 million yea
38、rs ago, much of the world was covered with forests of huge trees. In most ways they were like modern trees. They had loots, leaves, wood, but mostly they had not developed seeds.61 The main idea of the first paragraph is _.（A）life on land probably began about 430 years ago（B） the first animal on lan
39、d came from oceans（C） there wouldnt be animals without plants（D）plants are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy62 Which of the following is true?（A）Algae has existed for more than 430 million years.（B） It is impossible that algae might be the earliest plant on land.（C） Plants g
40、et food from animals in the oceans.（D）Evolution began after animals appeared on land.63 Plants with roots appeared about _ million years ago.（A）430（B） 300（C） 330（D）10064 According to the passage, _ appeared earlier than _.（A）apples; oranges（B） oranges; apples（C） oranges; roses（D）algae; wheat65 H5N1a
41、vian influenza, known commonly as bird flu, has killed at least 15 people across Asiaand was confirmed in China on January 27. No human cases have been found in the mainland, but 13 of the countrys 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities (直辖市) have reported the disease in poultry.The Ch
42、inese government has taken measures to prevent and control the disease. Poultry within 3 km of infected farms is to be killed and those within 5 km vaccinated (进行接种疫苗). Mean- while, there will be constant monitoring and daily reports on the disease across the country, and in- creased production of b
43、ird flu vaccines.Among the Asian countries and regions affected by bird flu in animals, only Vietnam and Thai- land have reported human cases. The people infected were reported to have caught the disease from poultry. While the World Health Organization (WHO) said there is “no proof of human-to-huma
44、n transmission (传播)“ of bird flu.The big fear is that the disease could combine with a human influenza virus (病毒) to create a deadly new disease that will kill millions of people across the globe. Many Asian farmers live closely with their animals and sell live chickens in the market. This greatly i
45、ncreases the possibility of human beings infected with bird flu.A spokesman of the WHO said that Asian countries affected by bird flu should introduce a more healthy way of raising and selling chickens. And the people there have to completely change their lifestyle and attitude towards animals. Here
46、 are some safety measures for people to stay healthy:* Keep fit and well through regular exercise;* Avoid infected poultry and infected people:* Avoid eating raw or under-done poultry and eggs;* Make sure there is always fresh air in your home;* Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing;*
