Landfills You have just finished your meal at a fast food restaurant and you throw your uneaten food, food wrappers, drink cups, utensils and napkins into the trash can. You don’t think about that waste again. On trash pickup day in your neighborhood, you push your can out to the curb, and workers dump the contents into a big truck and haul it away. You don’t have to think about that waste again, either. But maybe you have wondered, as you watch the trash truck pull away, just where that garbage ends up. Americans generate trash at an astonishing rate of four pounds per day per person; which translates to 600,000 tons per day or 210 million tons per year! This is almost twice as much trashes per person as most other major countries. What happens to this trash? Some gets recycled (回收利用) or recovered and some is burned, but the majority is buried in landfills. How Much Trash Is Generated? Of the 210 million tons of trash, or solid waste, generated in the United States annually, about 56 million tons, or 27 percent, is either recycled (glass, paper products, plastic, metals) or composted (做成堆肥) (yard waste). The remaining trash, which is mostly unredeemable, is discarded. How Is Trash Disposed of? The trash production in the United States has almost tripled since 1960. This trash is handled in various ways. About 27 percent of the trash is recycled or composted, 16 percent is burned and 57 percent is buried in landfills. The amount of trash buried in landfills has doubled since 1960. The United States ranks somewhere in the middle of the major countries (United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France and Japan) in landfill disposal. The United Kingdom ranks highest, burying about 90 percent of its solid waste in landfills. What Is a Landfill?

There are two ways to bury trash: Dumpan open hole in the g ound where trash is buried and that is full of various animals (rats,mice,birds).(This is most people s idea of a landfill!) Landfill-carefully designed structure built into or on top of the ground in which trash is isolated from the surrounding environment (groundwater,air,rain). This isolation is accomplished with a bottom liner and daily covering of soil. Sanitary landfill-land fill that uses a clay liner to isolate the trash from the environ Municipal solid waste (MSW)landfill-landfill that uses a synthetic (plastic) liner to isolate the trash from the environment The purpose of a landfill is to bury the trash in such a way that it will be isolated from groundwater.will be kept dry and will not be in contact with air. Under these conditions, trash will not decompose much.A landfill is not like a comost pile,where the purpose is to bury trash in such a way that decomose quickly.

There are two ways to bury trash: Dump—an open hole in the ground where trash is buried and that is full of various animals (rats, mice, birds). (This is most people’s idea of a landfill!) Landfill—carefully designed structure built into or on top of the ground in which trash is isolated from the surrounding environment (groundwater, air, rain). This isolation is accomplished with a bottom liner and daily covering of soil. Sanitary landfill—land fill that uses a clay liner to isolate the trash from the environment Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill—landfill that uses a synthetic (plastic) liner to isolate the trash from the environment The purpose of a landfill is to bury the trash in such a way that it will be isolated from groundwater, will be kept dry and will not be in contact with air. Under these conditions, trash will not decompose (腐烂) much. A landfill is not like a compost pile, where the purpose is to bury trash in such a way that it will decompose quickly. Proposing the Landfill For a landfill to be built, the operators have to make sure that they follow certain steps. In most parts of the world, there are regulations that govern where a landfill can be placed and how it can operate. The whole process begins with someone proposing the landfill. In the United States, taking care of trash and building landfills are local government responsibilities. Before a city or other authority can build a landfill, an environment impact study must be done on the proposed site to determine: the area of land necessary for the landfill the composition of the underlying soil and bedrock the flow of surface water over the site the impact of the proposed landfill on the local environment and wildlife the historical value of the proposed site Building the Landfill Once the environmental impact study is complete, the permits are granted and the funds have been raised, then construction begins. First, access roads to the landfill site must be built if they do not already exist. There roads will be used by construction equipment, sanitation (环卫) services and the general public. After roads have been built, digging can begin. In the North Wake Country Landfill, the landfill began 10 feet below the road surface. What Happens to Trash in a Landfill? Trash put in a landfill will stay there for a very long time. Inside a landfill, there is little oxygen and little moisture. Under these conditions, trash does not break down very rapidly. In fact, when old landfills have been dug up or sampled, 40 year old newspapers have been found with easily readable print. Landfills are not designed to break down trash, merely to bury it. When a landfill closes, the site, especially the groundwater, must be monitored and maintained for up to 30 years! How Is a Landfill Operated?

The Most Dangerous Expedition in Navigation D. The First Expedition to Asia Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city. Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage

Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity Because of the law,workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum jobs at unfair 需ages Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production,rent control,and the minimum wage.The predictions may be correct only if "other things are equal".Economists do not agree on some of the predictions.They also do not agree on the value of different decisions.Some onomists support a particular decision while others criticiz it. Economists do agree,however,that there are no simple answers to economic questions 46.There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may A.cause a shortage of apartments B.worry those who rent apartments as homes C.increase the profits of landlords D.encourage landlords to invest in building apartent 47.According to the critics,rent control A.will always benefit those who rent apartments B.is unnecessary C.will bring negative effects in the long run D.is necessary under all circumstances The problem of arise A.if the minimum wage is set too high B.if the minimum wage is set too low C.if the workers are unskilled D.if the maximum wage is set 49.The passage tells us A.the relationship between supply and demand B.results of government t controls C.the necessity of government control D.the urgency of getting rid of government controls 50.Which of the following statements is NoT true?

59. Nothing can (do) ______ unless we are given more information about the situation. 60. The boy is (fortune) _____ to have had the help and guidance of such a learned uncle. Part ⅤCloze (10%) Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked ［A］, ［B］, ［C］ and ［D］on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In 61 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 62 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 63 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 64 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 65 in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have 66 meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. 67 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 68 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 69 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 70 down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either orally or mentally as 71 reads. To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 72 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 73 the reader finds comfortable, in order to ”stretch“ him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 74 word-by-word reading, regression and sub vocalization, practically impossible. At first 75 is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 76 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 77 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 78 Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 79 the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 80 a lot more reading material in a short period of time. 61.［A］applying［B］doing［C］offering［D］getting 62.［A］quickly［B］easily［C］roughly［D］decidedly 63.［A］good［B］curious［C］poor［D］urgent 64.［A］training［B］habits［C］situations［D］custom 65.［A］lies［B］combines［C］touches［D］involves 66.［A］some［B］A lot［C］little［D］dull 67.［A］Fortunately［B］In fact［C］Logically［D］Unfortunately 68.［A］reuse［B］reread［C］rewrite［D］recite 69.［A］what［B］which［C］that［D］if 70.［A］scales［B］cuts［C］slows［D］measures 71.［A］some one［B］one［C］he［D］reader 72.［A］accelerator［B］actor［C］amplifier［D］observer
