So many tourists come every year, more than double the local population. Of these tourists, over 100,000 travel from the UK. The capital, Mal， is four times more densely populated than London. Given these facts, its hardly surprising that the Maldives has a waste disposal problem.Years ago, when the tourists left, the government had to deal with a stream of rubbish. Their solution was to turn one of the islands into a dumping ground. Four miles west of Mal is the countrys dumping ground, Thilafushi. What you are seeing here is a view of the Maldives on which no honeymooners will ever clap eyes. Each visitor produces 3.5 kg of waste per day. The country dumps more than 330 tons of rubbish on the island every day.Now, since many waste boats, fed up with waiting seven hours or more, directly offload their goods into the sea, the government of the Maldives has banned the dumping of waste on the island. So, the waste boats ship the rubbish to India instead.本文介绍了美丽的岛国马尔代夫的污染现状以及垃圾的处理情况。1What is the main cause of the waste disposal problem?AThe big local population.BToo many waste boats.CThe large number of tourists.DOpen fires on the islands.答案：C细节理解题。通读第二段的内容可知，大量的游客是造成马尔代夫面临垃圾处理难题的主要原因。2The underlined part can probably be replaced by “_”Aits quite similar to Bits a long distance fromCits a loud shout from Dits totally different from答案：D句意理解题。由画线部分前面描述的污染现状和其后的“the white sands，clear waters and palm trees”可推知，画线部分意为“完全不同于”，故D项正确。3What can we learn from the text?AIt is much more crowded in Mal than in London.BAnother island will be used as a dumping ground.CNo honeymooners are willing to visit the Maldives.DWaste on islands will be offloaded directly into the sea.答案：A细节理解题。由第二段的倒数第二句“The capital，Mal，is four times more densely populated than London.”可知，A项正确。4Whats the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo attract more tourists to the Maldives.BTo state the waste disposal problem in the Maldives.CTo call on us to protect the environment.DTo explain the causes of pollution in the Maldives.答案：B写作意图题。通读全文内容可知，作者写本文意在陈述马尔代夫面临垃圾处理的难题，所以B项正确。疑难词汇解读1boom v繁荣Music born in Hong Kong is booming.香港音乐正迅速发展。n繁荣，热潮the economic boom经济繁荣2paradise n天堂，天国，理想的去处This island is a paradise for birdwatchers.这个岛是鸟类观察者的理想去处。BThere are some new drivers going back to school. Teens who have recently gotten their drivers licenses may be taking the wheel to school this fall. However, parents fear when their teen starts driving.

Drivers 16 to 19 years old are at the greatest risk of crashes. In fact, their risk is 4 times greater than that of older drivers. The teens at the greatest risk are those who are male, those carrying other teenage passengers in the car, and those still in their first year of driving. Nearly 50 percent of teen deaths related to automobile crashes happen on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays between the hours of 3 pm and midnight.Why are teens at higher risk of motor vehicle crashes?Development.

You can also get notifications if your teen tries to shut off the program. There are also GPS programs that let you know your new drivers whereabouts at all times.
