20．Boston school officials plan to notify parents at four schools that their children may have drunk water tainted with lead from drinking fountains that were mistakenly turned on before water testing was complete．
The fountains were active for as little as several hours to as long as three weeks．
Boston Public Schools recently launched a 300，000project to repair and upgrade plumbing（管道系统） so that fountain water could be restored at six buildings that had been using bottled water．
The facilities were selected for the pilot program because prior tests indicated lead levels that were below state and federal standards，school officials said．
However，testing conducted in recent months found elevated lead levels in at least one fountain at four of the six schools，namely Mather Elementary School in Dorchester，Lee K-8School in Dorchester，Curley K-8School in Jamaica Plain，Another Course to College in Brighton．Lead contamination was also found at a fifth school，but officials don't believe anyone drank from the fountains．
School officials had previously told The Globe that none of the new fountains had been turned on since being installed．But they had learned in recent days that the fountains had been mistakenly activated，they said Wednesday．
Officials blamed a lack of communication between employees of the school district's facilities department and a third-party contractor．
The fountains are now shut off in all six schools．Bottled water is being provided there instead，officials said．
The four schools where children may have drunk water with high lead levels are：Mather Elementary School，Lee K-8School，Curley K-8School，and Another Course to College．
"BPS is communicating with families at the schools about these circumstances and their options if they are concerned about potential exposure to lead in drinking water，"said a statement from Boston Public Schools．
School officials said automated phone calls were to be made to families at the affected schools Thursday afternoon and that letters would also be mailed home．
In the meantime，school officials continue to investigate why water from the new fountains has high lead levels，a process that may cause the project to run over budget．
Officials had hoped the new fountains would produce long-term savings by allowing the schools to drop their costly reliance on bottled water．Most Boston schools use bottled water because of past lead concerns．The city expects to spend $415，000this school year alone to provide bottled water．
Four other schools that were still using tap water were recently found to have high lead levels in fountains．The affected fountains were shut off and replaced with bottled water．
Children are particularly vulnerable when it comes to lead．Exposure has been linked to IQ deficits，shortened attention spans，behavioral problems，hearing damage，stunted growth，and lowered birth weight．
Officials said they were also contacting parents at Trotter Innovation School in Dorchester and Boston Green Academy in Brighton，the two other schools in the fountain restoration project．
At Trotter，high lead levels were found，but officials believe no one drank from the fountains．At Boston Green Academy all six fountains tested had lead levels below the state's standards．
61．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A
A．The fountains involved in the incident are now no longer in use．
B．None of those newly-installed fountains have yet been turned on so far．
C．Long term exposure to high lead levels can damage one's immune system．
D．Fountains tested in all six schools had lead levels above state standards．
62．According to the passage，what will make the project overspend budget money？A
A．To find out actual causes of high lead levels
B．To launch and upgrade plumbing in schools
C．To have fountains replaced with bottled water
D．To pay health services staff to answer questions
63．The officials had fountain restoration project carried out for the purpose ofD．
A．boycotting bottled water
B．lowering lead levels
C．using new fountains
D．cutting expenses
64．The passage is written mainly toC．
A．disclose the problem of high lead-level fountain water
B．warn kids of potential danger of drinking fountain water
C．report lead-affected water found at Boston schools
D．urge official to accelerate the fountain restoration project．

17．He was forced to spend another night at the airport ____ for his plane．（　　）

18．Cigarette ends are everywhere-littering our streets and beaches-and for decades they've been thought of as"unrecyclable"．But a New Jersey based company，called TerraCycle，has taken on the challenge，and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette ends and turn them into industrial plastic products．Its aim is to recycle things that people normally consider impossible to reuse．
Obviously it would be even better for the environment if everyone just stopped smoking，but the statistics show that although there has been an increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging，between 2000 and 2014，global sales of cigarettes increased by 8 percent，and a whole lot of those cigarette ends are ending up as trash．Since most of our litter eventually ends up in waterways，cigarette ends can surely pollute the surrounding environment．"It only takes a single cigarette end to pollute a liter of water，"TerraCycle founder，Tom Szaky，said．"Animals can also mistake littered cigarette ends for food．"
So how do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful？TerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts．They mix the remaining materials，such as the tobacco and the paper，with other kinds of rubbish，and use it on non-agricultural land，such as golf courses．The filters （过滤嘴） are a little harder．To recycle these，TerraCycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces，and then combines them with other recycled materials，making them into liquid for industrial plastic products．
They're now also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 80 percent of household waste that currently can't be recycled，such as chocolate packaging，pens，and mobile phones．The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in landfill （垃圾填埋），and then get companies to provide money for the process．And so far，it's working．

28．What does TerraCycle intend to do？D
A．Search for recyclable materials for use．
B．Deal with as many cigarette ends as possible．
C．Produce new kinds of industrial plastic products．
D．Recycle what used to be considered unrecyclable．
29．The underlined word"trash"in Paragraph 2 probably meansA．
A．rubbish
B．poison
C．disaster
D．ruin
30．What does Paragraph 3mainly talk about？B
A．The effective use of cigarette ends．
B．The process of recycling cigarette ends．
C．The difficulty in recycling cigarette ends．
D．The reason for breaking down cigarette ends．
