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 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 city's 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 people's 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 waste 4、参考答案--------------D B C A *******************************************************结束 高考预练Ⅰ.单项填空1.(2012·山东省实验中学诊断)What was considered impolite years ago has become __________ now.A.accessible B.adjustableC.unbelievable D.acceptable2.(2012·山东省实验中学一模)I’m afraid I’m not __________ to help with the show,for I am fully occupied with my own project.A.acceptable B.adaptableC.available D.accessible3.(2012·济南模拟)I keep on walking after supper because I can’t think of a __________ way to keep fit.A.better B.bestC.worse D.worst4.(2012·淄博模拟)The government should develop________ system to predict when wildfires occur and give warnings in time.A.previous B.reliableC.reasonable D.responsible5.(2012·临沂质量检测)—Jenny is always __________ for appointments.Why is she late today?—She might have got trapped in a traffic jam in the rush hour.A.patient B.gratefulC.punctual D.available6.(2012·辽宁期中测试题)The little girl couldn’t work the problem out.She wasn’t________clever.A.that B.muchC.enough D.rather7.(2012·盐城第二次调研)—Who do you have in mind for the position?—I think Peter is the most________person for it.A.generous B.likelyC.optimistic D.voluntary8.(2012·太原市部分重点中学检测)It is reported that a new planet has been discovered recently.It’s ________ Earth,and hopefully it can support human life.A.almost three times the size ofB.three times the size thanC.three times almost as large thanD.almost three times as larger as9.(2012·山西太原模拟)Look!How much________ Alice looks wearing her new show dress!A.well B.goodC.better D.best10.(2012·潍坊5月份训练)The new discovery challenged the __________ theory about life’s origins.A.conventional B.particularC.contrary D.casual 1. 解析:选D。考查形容词辨析。accessible意为“易接近的,可理解的”;adjustable意为“可调整的”;unbelievable意为“难以相信的”;acceptable意为“可接受的”。句意:多年前被认为不礼貌的事情现在已经开始逐渐被接受了。根据句意可知,应选D项。2. 解析:选C。考查形容词。acceptable值得接受的,可接受的;adaptable可适应的,有适应能力的;available有空的,空闲的,有时间的;accessible容易取得的,可接近的。句意:恐怕我不能在这次展览上帮忙了,因为我正忙于自己的项目。故选C项。3. 解析:选A。考查形容词比较级。句意:我坚持晚饭后散步,因为我想不到比这更好的保持健康的方法了。根据语境可知,A项正确。4. 解析:选B。考查形容词词义辨析。previous意为“以前的;早先的”;reliable意为“可靠的”;reasonable意为“合理的”;responsible意为“负责的”。句意:政府应开发出可靠的预测系统,以便火灾发生时能及时发出警报。故B项正确。5. 解析:选C。考查形容词词义辨析。patient意为“有耐心的”;grateful意为“感激的”;punctual意为“准时的”;available 意为“有效的,可利用的”。句意:——Jenny约会总是很准时,今天她怎么迟到了?——她可能碰到上下班高峰期的交通堵塞了。根据语境可知。此处用punctual。即C项正确。6. 解析:选A。句意:那个小女孩解不出这道题。她没那么聪明。that作副词时,相当于so;much常修饰形容词或副词的比较级以及动词;enough用在形容词或副词后;rather相当。7. 解析:选B。考查形容词辨析。句意:——你觉得谁适合那个职位?——我认为彼得最合适。likely“合适的,恰当的”,符合语意。generous“慷慨的,大方的”;optimistic“乐观的”;voluntary“自愿的,义务的”。8. 解析:选A。考查倍数表达法。倍数表达法要注意三种结构:A is+倍数+the size/height/weight/...of+B;A is+倍数+bigger/larger/...than+B;A is+倍数+as big/large/...as+B。故A项的表达正确。9. 解析:选C。考查形容词的比较级。much后面不能接形容词的原级和最高级,而应该用形容词的比较级,结合语意选C项。10. 解析:选A。考查形容词辨析。句意:这个新发现向生命起源的传统理论提出了挑战。conventional意为“习惯的;传统的”,符合题意。particular意为“特别的”;contrary意为“相反的;不利的”;casual意为“随意的”。
