阅读理解     Everyone who has eaten instant noodles (方便面) before knows how it looks like. It is very easy to
cook it instantly by putting the noodles into the boiling water and add in those MSG(味精) packets(小包), together with your other food like eggs or vegetables. However, have you ever wondered whether this is
the correct way of cooking it? When you first took out the noodles from the packaging, you will notice that the noodles are joined together nicely as a piece. In order to make the noodles joined together nicely side by side it needs some form of wax coating (石蜡涂层) in order to show an attractive instant noodles in
front of us. Many people who enjoy eating instant noodles frequently do not really think too much of it as it seems very normal to everyone to have it nicely shown in front of us. However, researches have shown
that the layer (层) of wax coating on the noodles is quite harmful to our body and we should not eat it too

is stored in our body system for a long period of time.

it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养).The old saying "An apple a day keeps the
doctor away"is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they

阅读理解。     People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the
problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man"s release of completely new and often
artificial substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural
substance , such as oil tankers into the sea.
     The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we need and
use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the
environmental balance, or the ecological balance as it is also known. Many of these waste
products can be prevented or disposed of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new
and complex goods are produce there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for
example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people, therefore, see
pollution as only part of a larger and more complex problem, that is, the whole process of
industrial production and consumption of goods. Others again see the problem mainly in
connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more
on their land to feed our ever-increasing populations. However, the land itself is gradually
becoming worn out as it is being used in some cases, too heavily, and artificial fertilizer cannot
restore the balance.
     Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could
be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the
home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three or
four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles
or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste
of resources, in term of glass, metals and paper. Advertising has helped this process by
persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away
much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to
solve by cutting out unnecessary buying ,excess consumption and careless disposal of the
products we use in our daily lives.
1. The underlined phrase "disposed of "in the second paragraph means_______.A. dealt with
B. exposed
C. disapproved of
D. collected 2. In the writer"s view ,the more new goods, _______.A. the less pollution
B. the harder pollution can be prevented
C. the more pollution there will be
D. the more easily pollution can be controlled3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. We can do much to reduce pollution.
B. The government is trying hard to stop pollution.
C. Individuals know how to get rid of the habit of littering everywhere.
D. We can"t stop buying unnecessary things.4. People can help solve the problem of pollution by _______.A. urging their governments to control litter and waste
B. making anti-pollution advertisements
C. cutting down the use of oil and other oil products
D. reducing unnecessary buying, over-consumption and careless disposal of wastes
