Directions: Read the text from a magazine article in which several people expressed their different opinions on the same issue. Please match the name of each person to one of the statements given below. Douglas Spensor I want the maximum amount of compensation from the new supermarket owners for both loss of business and inconvenience of moving. As the most recent of the tenants in these shops, I would like to say I feel it is very unfair to calculate compensation based on length of time in residence. I think it should be on the amount of goods Sold day by day in shop. I get more than the tobacco and magazine vendor although they have dealt in this supermarket for over fifteen years. My goods are more expensive. Besides, my business is excellent and I have just employed five assistants. Sony Herry I want the maximum amount of compensation to be paid to all shop owners. The formula for the compensation can be worked out in detail later, but I want a deal that will give me the most amount of money as my business, not very big, is sufficient to support my wife and 12 year old son. And I have planned to retire soon anyway for I have worked here for more than 15 years. I hope we will make an agreement among all the shop owners not to accept employment in the new supermarket unless they pay us enough compensation. I insist that all my colleagues stick to this agreement. Maltese Brown I feel I have the greatest amount of money to lose than any of the other shop owners as I have recently spent a large amount of money on new valuable stock which I need to sell. I don’ t want any compensation at all. I simply want the landlord to be honorable and to allow us to renew our tenancy agreements. I have made an agreement with the other shop owners not to accept employment in the new supermarket if it is offered, unless all the shop owners can work there. Tom Clouse Something should be done about this situation. The reputation of the business is most important. Many people come to my salon regularly only because I am the best hairdresser here. My business has been very successful over the last five years. But if I close up my shop during the decoration, I will lose many of my customers. When considering the compensation, we should take into account of the factor of reputation. Durante Li I do not want the market to close. The majority of my customers live near the market and it would be very difficult for them to travel to the other side of this district for meat. And the store of my goods is very expensive. I need fridges, even icehouses. The compensation should cover all the costs, otherwise, I wouldn’ t move out. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements Sony Herry
A. Capital is the main factor.
B. Residence is most important.
C. I don’ t want to close up my shop.
D. As for me the compensation is my pension. E. The circle of customers is the critical point. F. All the shop owners should unite. G. The contract should be reconsidered.

Directions: Read the following text. Answer the questions on each text by choosing[A], [B], [C]or[D]. Even plants can run a fever, especially when they’ re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3 000 feet away—straight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared(红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satelities, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones were under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide(杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest(害虫)problems. Even better, Paley’ s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3 000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running "fevers". Farmers could then spot-spray ,using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would. The bad news is that Paley’ s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt that the technology works. "This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, "says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago. Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are ______ .
A. sprayed with pesticides
B. facing an infrared scanner
C. in poor physical condition
D. exposed to excessive sun rays

材料一: 我国是世界上垃圾包袱最重的国家,人均每年垃圾产量440公斤。人人都讨厌垃圾,人人都制造垃圾。垃圾是城市的附属物,城市的运转每年将产生上亿吨的垃圾。当人们陶醉在繁华的都市生活中,这支垃圾“大军”也正一步一步地包围着我们,并随着城市的增大而增大。我国城市垃圾处理的总体水平还很落后,管理体制不顺、经费不足、垃圾处理的科技水平和基础设施落后,仅为50%左右的城市垃圾处理率远不能适应城市建设、管理和环境保护需要。由此形成了“垃圾产生量增加——环境污染加重——治理费用上升——财政资金不足”的恶性循环。我国各类城市的发展水平不同,垃圾处理技术也不同,部分大中城市在垃圾处理工作中实现了分类回收、堆肥、填埋、焚烧为一体的处理方法,但中小城市在垃圾处理工作中还远未实现这样综合性的处理方法。很多城市都在垃圾处理问题上走了弯路,当时只是简单堆放、填埋,给日后发展埋下了隐患。一直以来,中国城市的垃圾处理都由政府包干,采取非盈利性收费的形式,政府投资、政府经营。连年攀高的垃圾处理费用使得许多地方政府不堪重荷,也着实令这些城市的市长们感到头疼不已。 材料二: 对我国来讲“放错地方的资源”在瑞典却是别有风采。瑞典每户人家都有好多个垃圾桶,对应的是不同的垃圾分类。除了生活垃圾、金属、电池、纸张、塑料这些基本分类以外,瑞典人为了进一步提高废弃物的利用效率,还设置了更多细小分类。 依据给定资料二.阐述“放错地方的资源”指的是什么。
