    Parking has been a problem for drivers for a long time in Taizhou. The Transportation Department is mapping out a new plan for the city's parking system. There are about 100 thousand cars on the road in Taizhou but only enough parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park.

    The number of the private car owners is becoming larger and larger. In March, the city sent out 1,500 private car licenses, the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month. And prices rose to over 2000yuan, 500 more than in February. Industry experts say this suggests that local people want to have their own cars.

    By the year 2020, the number of cars in Taizhou will probably reach 200 thousand. If one parking lot is for each car, then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles. The center of Taizhou is most short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in these areas is not practical and doesn't solve the problem. The idea of "Park & Ride" system has been suggested. This means that underground train and city train should be developed quickly. Drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks near subway and bus stations and then they can ride public transport to go to the city center. Based on this idea, the city will cut down the number of parking lots in the city center and need higher parking fees. Meanwhile it will build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops.

(1)、The underlined phrase "mapping out" in the first paragraph means ______.
A、making B、arguing C、replying D、comparing
(2)、About _______ drivers can find places to park their cars in Taizhou now.
A、85,000 B、100,000 C、15,000 D、200,000
(3)、What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A、The city sent out more private licenses in February. B、Less and less people bought cars in March. C、The city sent out less private licenses in March. D、More and more people are going to buy cars.
(4)、According to the idea of a "Park & Ride" system, the city will ______.
A、send out more private car licenses B、build more parking lots near bus stops C、encourage people to buy more cars D、build more parking areas in the city center
(5)、This passage is mainly about _______.
A、parking problems B、heavy traffic C、pollution in Taizhou D、building more parking lots in the city center

Buy a ticket to the Disgusting Food Museum in Sweden, and you'll find it is not printed on a piece of paper.

"Instead, it is a vomit(呕吐) bag with our logo,"said Samuel West, who set up the museum. It was a joke. But it sounds reasonable in some ways. Inside the museum, the foods with some of the world's most terrible smells are on display. Walking around in it, someone may want to vomit.

Yet making people vomit is not West's purpose. "I want people to know that disgust is always in the eye of the visitors," said West. "We usually find things we're not familiar with disgusting."For example, the tree-ant larvae (幼虫) eaten in Mexico.

There are nearly 80 dishes in the museum. They come from Asia, Europe, the United States, Central and South America, Africa and Australia.

West wants people to know that disgust isn't just about taste or smell. It's also about the way the food is made. In the museum, some foods might taste pretty good, but are made in a terrible way. Those include French foie gras (鹅肝酱). This dish needs to feed ducks or geese with force. Another example is the monkey brain(脑). It is said that in some places, people eat the brain while the animal still lives.

West hopes that the museum will help people rethink what is delicious food. He also wants to encourage people to try more food that are environmentally friendly.
