依照以下短文内容回答下列问题。在每小题下面旳4个选项中选出正确选项，并在答题卡旳对应字母上涂黑。
Passage A
George Banks was a clever journalist. He worked for a good newspaper, and he likes arguing with anybody, and about anything. Sometimes the people whom he argued with were as clever as he was, but often they were not.
He did not mind arguing with stupid people at all: he knew that he could never persuade them to agree, because they could never really understand what he was saying, and the more stupid they were, the surer they were that they were right, but he often found that stupid people said very amusing things.
At the end of one argument which George had with one of these less clever people, the man said something that George has always remembered and that has always amused him. It was, “Well, sir, you should never forget this: there are always three answers to every question, your answer, my answer and the correct answer.”

D．there was not a right answer
Passage B
Hotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows.
That’s a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole programme.
Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host is talking about so the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his lack of knowledge. Then the host has to answer and explain－how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time. To let the listeners hear them they do not care what the topic is, no matter whether they themselves are interested in it or how silly they appear to be.
I’m totally bored by those people. It’s necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programme. In my opinion, if a caller doesn’t know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.

46. The host has to answer and explain, because .

Passage C
The American Thanksgiving Day celebration goes back to that year a special large dinner was prepared in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The people who settled there had left England because they had no religious freedom. They faced difficulties in coming across the ocean. The ship that carried them was called the Mayflower. The North Atlantic was difficult to travel. There were bad storms. Finally, they came to the new land where they were helped to learn to survive by the native Indians.
The Puritans(清教徒), as they were called, had much to be thankful for. Their religious practices were no longer a source of criticism by the government.

Passage D
Besides giving off gases and dusts into the air, humans produce waste that is poured on the environment. Often, this waste produced by major industries and people is harmful to both nature and human life.
One of the main causes of the large amount of dangerous waste is that people do not realize how big a problem is. Because it can be simply removed and sent to a landfill, the problem is often believed to end there. In addition, industries have often unwillingness to find ways to deal with dangerous waste because of the related expenses. Many industries and governments build simple landfills to store waste, and often just pour waste chemicals into nearby bodies of water. Often, chemicals used for industrial production cause dangerous forms of waste. The amount of these chemicals has increased greatly in the past, but it is often difficult and expensive to get rid of these chemicals or to store them in a way safe to human life and the environment.
Every year, major health problems result from dangerous waste. Sadly, it is often only after someone has died or become seriously ill that governments will take measures to reduce levels of harmful waste.
Some governments have realized how serious the dangerous waste problem is and are now trying to settle this problem. They are also trying to limit the amount of waste that industries are allowed to produce.
Not only governments but ordinary people as well must work together to solve the problem. They can choose not to buy those products which require the
