2.In the debates about how a particular piece of land is to be used,the priorities often conflict.What should you do,for example,if you find out that under the fertile fields of a farming community there is a thick bed of coal which can be strip mined(露天矿)?Strip mining tears up top soil and plants.But mining may create jobs,bring money to the towns businesses.Those who approve of strip mining say that the coal is needed,and they point out that it is quicker and cheaper to get coal from the surface than to go deep into the earth to get it by standard mining techniques.On the other hand,it takes nature 500years to create an inch of top soil.As the countryside fills up,people are becoming more aware of the need for open space.Nearly every proposal for a new power plant,highway,or airport draws fierce opposition.Everyone wants the big,land-eating"uglies"to be in someone else's backyard.Minneapolis and St.Paul,Minnesota,for example,have been debating about the site of a future airport for years.Yet if a new airport is needed,it will have to go somewhere.How do we find our way out of the land-used problem?One way might be to reexamine our values,to think in new directions.Does everyone have to have a car with its need for highways and parking lots?What about developing mass transport systems that use less land?Do suburbs have to spread?Can they be designed so they use less space?Do we have to have more energy?If we do,do we really have to strip-mine coal to provide it?
However difficult they may be to arrive at,choices will have to be made if we want to preserve the beauty and usefulness of the land.For there is at least one point on which all of us can agree:The land does have its limits.

解答 DBABA
97 D 猜测词义题. 根据文章第一 段What should you do 可知第一件我们需要考虑的事情是该如何利用这块土地,故选D.
98 B 推理判断题.此句的意思为"人们越来越意识到对开阔空间的需要",开阔空间指的就是未被占用的土地,故选B.易错选项D,D项意为"人们对空间问题越来越积极",此句并没有体现.
99 A 细节理解题.根据文章第二段第一、二句话How do we…in new directions.可知答案为A.
100 B 细节题.根据文章第一 段 Yet if a new airport is needed,it will have to go somewhere.可知如果需要一个新的机场,它必须去某个其他地方说明人们不想住在一个大的工程附近,故选B.
101 A 主旨大意题.本文主要讲的是土地的有限性,我们不应过度开发,因此A最准确.易错选项B,B项涉及面太广,不宜作此文标题.
点评 做阅读理解时要快速的浏览全文,把握文章主旨大意,带着问题回到原文,寻找细节或概括相应的答案,最后要理清作者写作思路.
