Treasure - seeking in Titanic

　　TREASURES of Titanic as well as the captain's logbook may reappear to the public. RMS Titanic Company declared recently that it was ready to search the interior part of the wreckage for the first time.

　　Since 1985 when the wreckage of the luxury boat was found, the RMS has made five attempts to search it. But all the actions were confined (被限制) to the exterior (＝outer part ) of the cabin (客舱). This time, divers will use a controlled diving machine and enter the boat to make a careful search.

　　The boat is gradually eroded. This will be the last chance to seek all the treasures (worth about $ 300 million).

　　Michel Navratil, the last male survivor of the Titanic disaster, has died at the age of 92．

　　Navratil, who became a noted philosopher (哲学家), was nearly four in 1912 when his father left his mother and took him aboard the Titanic.

　　After the vessel struck the iceberg, his father put the boy into a life boat and went down with the ship.

　　Navratil said that the Titanic disaster had heavily influenced his career as a philosopher. He recalled the last words of his father as he kissed goodbye to the boy; tell your mother that I loved her dearly and still do.

　　After the death of M. Navratil, two British and two American women, all in their nineties, are the last survivors of the disaster.

　　In the 1940s, Pinehaven Park was one of Crafton City's loveliest recreation(娱乐)areas. Over 40 acres of woods and fields were open to the public. In the 1950s, part of the park was taken over by Crafton City's garbage. Fifteen acres were to be used for landfill disposal(理置). As time went on, more and more of the park was used for garage disposal and less for recreation. Two years ago, the park was closed to the public for good. Along with household garbage, industrial chemicals had for years been dumped (倾倒)in the Pinehaven landfill. These poisonous chemicals had begun to seep(渗)back up through the soil. All of Pinehaven Park had become dangerously polluted.

　　 Last year, the fish in the Crafton River began to die. After a series of investigations(研究), it became clear that the people of Crafton City were not to blame. 100～150 miles upstream, big paper mills were dumping industrial wastes into the river. Little by little, the level of poison in the river began to rise. Finally, it became so polluted that the fish themselves could no longer survive.

　　Downtown Crafton used to be a quiet area. Ten years of remarkable growth changed that in a big hurry. But with Crafton City's new prosperity(繁荣)came a new problem: air pollution. And it is a serious problem. Air pollution levels in Crafton are regularly reaching those of the nation's large industrial cities.

D．Industrial growth and progress have resulted in the pollution of Crafton City's water, air, and soil.

(2)According to the passage, what portion of the park had originally been marked for use as a garbage dump?

[　　]

A．Less than half　　　　 B．Exactly half

C．About one third　　　　D．Most of it

(3)As it is used in the passage, the phrase“for good”means ________.

[　　]

A．practically　　　　B．for ever

C．thoroughly　　　　D．advantageously

(4)According to the passage, one result of dumping industrial chemicals into the landfill was that ________.

[　　]

A．the land became unsafe for humans

B．the animals on the land died
