The Buffalo River had caught fire many times. The surface had an oily layer，and any fish caught there were not eatable.“可知，the Buffalo River過去是一條被嚴重污染的河。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的”Stanley Spisiak was a local Polish—American jeweler by day，but by evening he was the kind of guy who39。d chase down dumpers(垃圾車)he spotted on the Buffalo River. By 1966 he found himself winning the National Wildlife Federation39。s Water Conservationist of the Yearaward.

Habitat restoration continues as well；fish and plantings are still being sampled to measure how well it39。s gone.”是其現(xiàn)狀。綜上可知，本文講述的是被污染的the Buffalo River的恢復。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇環(huán)保類閱讀，要求考生準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。7．閱讀短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 Moving smoothly and silently through Alibaba Group Holding Ltd39。s futuristic FlyZoo hotel, black discshaped robots about a metre in height deliver food and drop off fresh towels. The robots are part of a set of hightech tools that Alibaba says strongly cuts the hotel39。s cost of human labour and eliminates the need for guests to interact with other people. Formally opened to the public last month, the 290room FlyZoo is an incubator for technology Alibaba wants to sell to the hotel industry in the future and an opportunity to showcase its prowess in artificial intelligence. It is also an experiment that tests consumer fort levels with unmanned merce in China. Inside the hotel, softlylit white panelled walls bring to mind the interiors of Hollywood spaceships. Guests check in at podiums that scan their faces, as well as passports or other ID. Visitors with a Chinese national ID can scan their faces using their smartphones to check in ahead of time. Elevators scan guests39。 faces again to verify which floor they can access and hotel room doors are opened with another face scan. It39。s very quick and safe. I haven39。t used it much yet, but basically, I can be in my room in one minute, said guest Tracy Li. Li added that safety was one of her priorities and she was pleased her room could only be entered with a scan of her face. In the rooms, Alibaba39。s voice mand technology is used to change the temperature, close the curtains, adjust the lighting and order room service. At the hotel39。s restaurant, taller capsuleshaped robots deliver food that guests have ordered via the FlyZoo app while at a separate bar, a large robotic arm can mix more than 20 different types of cocktails. Facial recognition cameras add charges to the room rate automatically. The hotel does employ humans, though Alibaba declined to detail how many. This includes chefs and cleaners as well as reception staff, who will assist with conventional checkin procedures for guests unwilling to have their faces scanned and want to use electronic key cards.（1）What does the underlined word eliminates in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
