33、nk of divorce once married.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.BLast April, on a visit to the new Mall of America near Minneapolis, I carried with me a small book provided for the reporters by the public relations office. It included a variety of “fun facts“ about the mall, such as: 140,000 hot dogs am sold each week,
34、 there are 10,000 full-time jobs, 44 sets of moving stairs and 17 lifts, 12,750 parking places, 13,000 tons of steel, and I million is drawn weekly from 8 ATMs. Opened in the summer of 1992, the mall was built where the former Minneapolis Stadium had been. It was only a five-minute drive from Minnea
35、polis to St. Paul International Airport. With 4.2 million square feet of floor space-22 times the size of the average American shopping center-the Mall of America was the largest shopping and family recreation center under one roof in the United States.I knew already that the Mall of America had bee
36、n imagined by its designers, not merely as a marketplace, but as a national tourist attraction. Eleven thousand articles, the small book informed me, had been written about the mall. Four hundred trees had been planted in its gardens, 625 million had been spent to build it, and 350 stores were alrea
37、dy in business. Three thousand bus tours were expected each year along with a half-million Canadian visitors and 200,000 Japanese tourists. Sales were expected to be at 650 million for 1993 and at 1 billion for 1996. Pop singers and film stars such as Janet Jackson and Arnold Schwarzenegger had visi
38、ted the mall. It was five times larger than Red Square and it included 2.3 miles of hallways and used almost twice as much steel as the Eiffel Tower. It was also home to the nations largest indoor park, called Knotts Camp Snoopy.（分数：4.00）(1).We know from the text that the Mall of America is _.A near

41、e chances of meeting famous stars there.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).We can infer from the text that _.A Japanese visitors are most welcome to the mallB the Mall of America was designed to serve more than one purposeC Knotts Camp Snoopy was next to the Mall of AmericaD Canadian visitors would spend 1 billio
42、n at the mall（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.CAs a result of pollution, Lake Erie, on the borders of the U. S. A. and Canada, now does not have many living things.Pollution in water is not simply a matter of “poisons“ killing large numbers of fish overnight.Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed until
43、 many months or years later because the first organisms (生物) to be affected are either plants or planktons (浮游生物). These organisms are the food of fish, birds, and other creatures. When this food disappears, the fish and birds would die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it is
44、 not until dead fish and water birds are found at the rivers edge or on the sea shore that people realize what is happening.Where do the substances that pollute the water come from? There are two main sources, sewage (生活污水) and industrial waste. As more detergent (洗涤剂) is used in the homes, more of
45、it is finally put into our rivers, lakes and seas. Detergent harms water birds by breaking down the natural substances which keep their feathers waterproof. Sewage itself, if not properly treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen th
46、ey need. Industrial waste is even more harmful since there are more highly poisonous materials in it, such as copper and lead.So, if we want to stop this pollution, the answer is simple. Sewage and industrial waste must be made clean before flowing into rivers and seas. It may be already too late to
47、 save some rivers and lakes, but others can be saved if the correct action is taken at once.（分数：4.00）(1).Pollution in water is noticed _. A when poisons are poured into waterB when a great many fish and birds dieC when the first organisms are affectedD as soon as the balance of nature is destroyed（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The living things die because there is no _ in the river or sea.A oxygen B poisonC water D fish（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The way to stop water pollution is _.
