　　The crowding of large groups of people in the cities has caused many of the world’s population problems. Supply for the needs of the people leads to further pollution by industry. If the rapid increase in human population continues at the present rate, there may be much greater harm. Some scientists speak of the increase in number of people as “population pollution”.

　　About 2,000 years ago, the world population was probably about 250 million. It reached a billion in 1850. By 1930the population was two billion. It is now three and a half billion. It is expected to double by the year, 2,000 if the population. Continues to grow at the some rate, there would be 25 billion people in the world a hundred years from now.

　　Man has been using the earth’s resources more and more rapidly over the year. Some of them have almost gone. Now many people believe that man’s greatest problem is how to control the growth of his own population. The material in the world will not support the human population in time to come, if the present rate of increase continues. Already there is overcrowding in the cities and hunger in some countries.

　　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.

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 ________.
