    　　The anger of PETA has now been turned on KFC, the fried - chicken chain. After two years of failed talks aimed at forcing KFC to introduce more humane (人道的) practices into the raising and killing of chickens, PETA announced last week that it would start a worldwide “Kentucky Fried Cruelty” movement.

    　　PETA wants KFC to kill its chickens using gas rather than cutting their throats, to increase their living space and to provide resting - places for the birds. “KFC has got a lot from chickens but treated them badly, leaving us no choice but to turn up the heat,” said Bruce Friedrich, PETA's director. “McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's did something under the pressure; KFC would do well to follow their lead.”

    　　The PETA movement intends to catch the attention of anyone who has ever had close dealings with a chicken. “Chickens are interesting animals,” the movement's press release begins, “and are thought to be at least as clever as dogs or cats.” Mr. Friedrich of PETA insists that social relations among chickens are more developed than those among cats, and nearly as developed as those among dogs. “When Jesus (耶稣) was looking for a way to express God's love for man, he used the example of a hen's love for her young,” he said.

    1．PETA might be ________.

    [　　]

    A．people watching over restaurants

    B．people who raise chickens

    C．people demanding animal rights

    D．people who believe in Jesus

    [　　]

    A．some other organizations have given in to PETA

    B．killing chickens makes PETA very angry

    C．PETA insists chickens be protected instead of being killed

    D．KFC treats chickens as cruelly as dogs and cats

    3．PETA tries to win the public's support by ________.

    [　　]

    A．turning up the heat

    B．giving the example used by Jesus

    C．holding two - year talks with KFC

    D．exciting people's pity on the bird

    答案：C;A;D

    　　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.

    (1)Which of the following best states the central idea of the passage?

    [　　]

    A．Chemical dumping is a serious threat to Crafton City's soil.

    B．The rapid growth of industry has brought air pollution to Crafton City.

    C．The disposal of garbage can destroy recreation areas.

    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

    C．the poisonous chemicals were washed into the nearby river

    D．the smoke from the chemicals polluted the air surrounding the landfill
