漳州市2014 高考英語（閱讀理解）一輪暑假訓(xùn)練（9）（答案）（201*·湖北卷）CIn todays throw away society, dealing with the citys growing mountain of waste is an inereasing challenge for the city countil(市議會(huì))。 Recently. Edinburgh is faced with the problem of dssposing of(處理)about250,000Million tons of waster a year . Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner-largely through encouraging tecycling-its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it. The European Union(EU) has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waster are to hr disposed of. The five councils (Edinburgh. East Lothian. West Lothian. Midlethian and Borders) face fine around $18million a year from 2013 it they dont inerease recycling levels and rely less on landfill. With this in mind, the coumlls got together with the idea of building a lage incinerator plant (垃圾焚燒廠)to burn half of the waste produced in their districts. But the plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the citys waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.After the plan was abandoned, a private company which already transported millions of tons of the citys wast by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative soution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015, it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion. But soon they turned it downafter 700 local objections reached thembecause it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.That still leaves eth council with a problem. By 2013,only50%of 1995 levels of waste will benllewed to be sent to landfill. Even if recveling large are met, there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up.

Whether wired or wireless，today'、connections are many times faster.Videos play smoothly；complex websites load quickly；and the files are much biggertoo. But there's still a catch，of course. You have to live near enough to a major city toget broadband Internet. If you don't，it's slow for you to use dial-up connection. Andfor those living really far out，there may be no Internet connection at all. Technology experts often talk about,the "last mile" problem，which refers to thedifficulty of making Internet available for remote places. It is much more difficult todeliver connection to those living far from cities，especially in developing countries.Internet service providers，for their part，have been unwilling to provide connection toareas with smaller population，where the Internet users wouldnt cover the expense. But every year，technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users.Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone linesalthough these technologies aren't available everywhere. Some companies have deliveredthe Internet over standard. power lines. Advancements in cheaper，more efficient fiberoptics cables（光纖電纜）promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to moreusers. Still，the“l(fā)ast mile" problem remains hard to deal with. There will always besomewhere that doesn't have an affordable broadband connection. But someday thatmight not matter. If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication（跡象），it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you whereveryou go.12. What would be the best title for the text? A. A broadband Internet connection B. The difficulty with Internet C. Rapid progress in cell phone technology D. The "last mile" problem13.

What may eventually settle the“l(fā)ast mile" problem? A. More and more Internet users. B. More and more Internet connections. C. The rapid progress in cell phone technology.D. The speed of the broadband Internet1215、DADC*結(jié)束The following is a recent survey among teenagers:13.The survey carried out recently is mainly concerned with _.A. how teenagers consume mediaB. what electric devices teenagers favorC. which new trend teenagers are followingD. how teenagers contact others and make their social net14.As is mentioned in the survey, the reason why teenagers watch less TV mainly lies in that _.A. teenagers do not watch regular programsB. all the TV programs are on for only a few weeksC. teenagers may turn to other devices to watch their favoriteD. the TV adverts coming on every channel are just the same15.Which of the following is TRUE according to the survey?A.

(D) ACD*結(jié)束Grasslands need time to rest when cattle and other animals feed on them. Moving animals from one area of pasture (牧場(chǎng)) to another can provide the time needed for new growth. This is called rotational grazing .(循環(huán)放牧) Rotational grazing is good for the land and the animals, and it can save money. This form of grazing can reduce the need for pesticide (農(nóng)藥) treatments by reducing the growth of weeds. And it can limit the need for chemical fertilizers by letting animal wastes do the job of natural fertilizer. Rotational grazing can even help prevent wildfires by keeping grasslands in good condition.Letting animals feed continually and intensively (集中地) in the same grazing areas can require costly replanting. Animals eat the most desirable growth first. When that keeps happening, the roots do not have enough time to recover. As a result, less desirable plants may replace them. Intensively used grasslands are also harmed as the soil is continually crushed under the weight of heavy animals.While rotational grazing can save money over time, it also requires planning. And that starts with a good map to mark fences, water supplies and grazing areas.Changing methods of grazing also requires time. Farmers may want to put up electric fences to enclose (圈起) grazing areas, called paddocks. The paddocks will need water. Some farmers design a path for animals from different paddocks to drink from a common watering place.Farmers can start rotational grazing by removing animals from a pasture when the grass is eaten to less that five centimeters. The pasture is then kept empty until the grass grows to more than fifteen centimeters high.Sheep and goats may require special preparations. They may need stronger fences than other animals. And while they eat the grass, they may need guard animals to protect them from animals that would like to eat them.12. Grasslands won't depend on chemical fertilizers when _.A. the soil of grasslands is naturally richB. animal wastes serve as natural fertilizerC. rotational grazing can prevent wildfires D. grasslands are usually in good condition13. The function of putting up electric fences is to _.A. divide the pasture into paddocks B. encourage animals to get around C. stop animals staying at one place D. provide water supplies for animals14. Why do sheep and goats need guard animals?A. They can easily jump over fences. B. They don't like to stay in the paddockC. wild animals are likely to attack themD. Tigers and lions prefer sheep and goats15. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Giving grasslands a rest B. How to feed animalsC. Keeping animals moving in pastures D.
