“We leave at dawn and head out overland by jeep towards Base One. We'll get as far as we can before proceeding on foot,” Mark explained. The others sat and listened. Sarah, particularly, as a “casualty of events”, wouldn't have known what to say or suggest even if she'd been asked. But Harry had a lot to say.
“We'll never make it,” he protested. “We'll still be crossing the desert when they catch up with us. They'll know where we're heading for and they'll simply follow us and kill us out there in the desert with no one to see. They seem to know every move we make or are going to make.”
Mark said nothing, but spread his hands out as if to say “Well, what do we do then?” “We wouldn't be in this mess now,” Harry went on, almost ignoring Mark's gesture, “if we hadn't stopped to rescue Sarah.” (He glanced at her briefly.) “But since we did, we must get on - but not across the desert. There's the sand, and deep ravines (沟壑) which are almost invisible until you're right on them - and then the heat. You have to be used to going out there, and none of us is. This is no “morning at leisure ” on some pleasant holiday, you know! If we went north instead and made for the river, …”
He broke off and looked around at the others, feeling somehow that his argument was pointless. No one said anything.
“Good,” said Mark, looking around with authority, and returned to checking their stores.

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
