[单项选择]Visitors exploring one of Britain’s many historic buildings might expect to see beautiful objects and learn more about history. What they won’t expect is to meet one of the former residents, and to be able to talk to them about their life and times. But, don’t worry. Although many old buildings are said to be frequently visited by ghosts (幽灵), these people are not ghosts at all.

[单项选择]Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything that goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.
The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.
Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in
