Large numbers of insects arebreeding(繁殖) in the polluted waterway. Officials say the insects land on the Taj Mahal and leave poop on its white stone walls. The insects waste is beginning to turn the walls green.Workers first discovered the problem last year. Aflyknown as thegenusGeoldichironomus is the reason for all the waste on the wall. Workers try to remove that, but experts fear heavy cleaning could damage the artwork from the wall in the Taj Mahal.Environmentalist D.K. Joshi says the way to stop this new threat is to save the dying river. “Industrial waste, solid waste, all this pours into the river. Millions of dollars have been spent to clean the river, but nothing has happened,” he added. Whats more, ashes (骨灰) from burnt human remains are part of the problem. For 200 years, people have set fire to dead bodies near the Taj Mahal. Ash from the funeral (葬礼的) ceremonies is the main source of food for the insects.Vikram also worries about the large amount of tourism. “So much is the amount of dirt that it creates; these are the problems of tourism. The tourists, they like to touch the surfaces. For that we are trying to provide some kind of separators”.We do believe cleaning the Yamuna River is possible with a short-term program. “Stop the waste from going into the river, improve its flow. It is not difficult,” Vikram said. He hopes this latest threat to the Taj Mahal from insects will get the attention of city officials. He hopes it will get them to clean the river.（1）Whats the new threat to the Tji Mahal? A . The Yamuna River is very dirty.B . Some white stones walls turn green.C . Many insects live in Tji Mahal and The Yamuna River.D . The insects leave poop on the stones.（2）What “that” in the 3rd paragraph refers to? A . The workers.B . The waste.C . The wall.D . The fly.（3）Which is not a helpful solution to this problem? A . cut down the waste that poured into the river.B . makes the flow of the river improved.C . Ask more workers to remove the waste of the Taj Mahal.D . Reduce the burning of the human bodies（4）What does Joshi suggest? A . City officials should ignore the insects.B . Workers should help clean the Taj Mahal.C . Fires should be set to kill some insects.D . People should give up the tradition of burning the dead.19. （8分）阅读下列材料，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳选项。(B)Barry is a middle-aged man who is going through a very difficult time in his life.
