8.Disposing (处理) of waste has been a problem since humans started producing it.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.People would transport household rubbish,rotted wood and old possessions to the site.Regularly 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 and some other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of.Those located on rivers often just poured 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(垃圾场),are most needed in heavily populated areas.Such areas rarely have empty land suitable.Farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere,cheap land in major city areas to dispose wastes is nonexistent(不存在的).Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal.Pollution of rivers,ground water,land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste.The amount of waste,however,continues to grow.
Recycling efforts have become commonplace,and many towns require their people to take part.Even the most efficient recycling programs,however,can hope to deal with only about 50percent of a city's reusable waste,so more people should be involved in recycling programs.
28.The most suitable title for this passage would beD.
A.Places for Disposing of Waste
B.Waste Pollution Dangers
C.Ways of Getting Rid of Waste
D.Waste Disposal Problem
29.During the 18th century,people disposed of waste in many ways except forB.

A.Farm areas will continue accepting waste from the city.
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.
31.The main purpose of writing this article is toA.
A.draw people's attention to waste management
B.warn people of the pollution dangers
C.call on people to take part in recycling programs
D.tell people a better way to get rid of the waste.
分析 文章主要讨论垃圾处理的问题,现代社会人们所使用的垃圾处理方法还和以前一样,很难找到垃圾掩埋的地方.

28.D 本题考查对于全文主旨大意地把握并要求考生据此选择最佳标题.文章主要讨论垃圾处理的问题(A项),至于处理垃圾的地点(B项)、垃圾污染的危害(C项)和处理垃圾的方式(D项)都是垃圾处理问题的一个方面,不能以偏概全.
29.B 细节理解题.recycle意为"循环利用".对于垃圾的循环利用是近才开始的一 项技术,18世纪的时候是没有的.文章二、三段明确提到其余三种垃圾处理方法.
30.C 细节理解题.文章第四段提到landfills(垃圾掩埋法)和long-distance trash hauling(垃圾长途拖运),在现代社会找到垃圾掩埋的地方是很困难的,故选C
31.A 作者意图推测题.C,D两项很容易排除掉,B项没有提到垃圾处理的问题,偏离文章的主题;所以答案选A.
