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 large a
problem it is. Because it can be simply removed and sent to a landfill (废渣填埋场), the problem is often
believed to end there. In addition, industries have often shown an 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 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 production of dangerous waste, and produce less harmful
waste themselves. Many scientists think that waste production can be cut. The waste can be reduced by at
least one third using existing technologies and methods.
B. Danger of Harmful Waste to Mankind
C. Dangerous Waste and Water Pollution
D. Environmental Protection
B. do not know where to place the dangerous waste
C. are not clear about how serious the dangerous waste problem is
D. are not sure about where harmful waste ends
B. How to increase their production.
C. How to store harmful waste.
D. How to cut down the related costs.
B. Present technologies have settled the harmful waste problem.
C. Everyone should obey the government rules for the problem.
D. To solve the problem requires the efforts of the whole society.

举一反三
They collected or killed only enough for the clan"s survival. Early clans were nomadic, which means that
they did not stay in one place. Instead, they moved around, following the animals that were their main
food source and seeking areas where seasonal plants grew wild. Moving around seasonally helped to
protect the environment. The land had time to recover and animals had time to breed (繁殖) before the clan
returned for the next season.
As time went by, these small family clans joined with others to form larger groups for protection. Joining
with other clans gave them more hunters and more women to help cut up the meat and share it between
families. Eventually, people tamed (驯养) wild animals such as dogs and horses. People settled around rivers
and fertile plains to share responsibilities and duties. Then, people began to plant crops instead of moving to
areas where the plants grew. This development changed the environment.
Traditional forms of work also changed. Some people were hatter at performing a particular task than
other clan members, so they began to specialize in things they were good at doing. This also meant that they
began to exchange their goods for things that others produced.
People began to communicate with distant tribes. Land was cleared for roads. Foreign plants and animals
were transported to places where they had not existed before. Specialization also gave people more free time.
So art, dance and music became important ways of expressing feelings and thoughts. This was how many
great civilizations started.
Compared to the past, modern civilization has experienced many changes to become the highly developed
society that exists today. Populations have increased rapidly. Forests have been cleared for farms. Inventions
and technology have made work easier.
However, pollution and other serious problems have also resulted from human progress. As concerned
citizens, it is up to us to learn from past mistakes and to help maintain and improve our environment.
B. they ate only vegetables
C. they killed only enough for food
D. they loved animals
B. to seek safety
C. to share caves
D. to protect environment
B. Modem civilization began when people started to live together in big groups.
C. Modem advancements are always good for the environment.
D. People began to exchange goods because they didn"t have enough money.
B. civilization has improved traditional forms of work
C. our environment has been affected by human progress
D. early people understood environmental protection
In yesterday"s circus (马戏团) show, a tiger suddenly attacked its trainer and had to be shot dead.
As the circus packed up and left, circus officials said the show would go on, even without tigers.
However, the officials can"t simply turn a blind eye to the ethical problems left behind. Even before
this tragedy (悲剧), animal rights activists protested against keeping wild animals in unnatural conditions
and forcing them to suffer for the profit (利润) of circus organizers.
It is now time for us to take effective steps to make sure that circus animals are treated properly.
Circus Safe for Animals
Our circus recently suffered a most tragic event in its history. While we are thankful for the pity from
the public, we are also astonished by the opinion expressed in "Tragedy at the Circus."
First, our performing animals are not taken from the wild. As to the ethical problems. we always believe
humans and animals can-and should-live together nicely. To us, the performing animals are representatives
of their species (物种), and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this special role of
performing animals in the existence of the species. Those who argue that circus life is harmful to animals
show little knowledge of these facts. Life in the "wild" is unsafe, but a continuous struggle for existence.
To overlook these reslities is the greatest fault against the animal kingdom.
This circus has proven that animals are stronger and smarter than we could imagine. Within the circus
is a joyful atmosphere for both animals and humans: people are educated, and species saved.
B. To express worries about ainimal trainers"safety.
C. To deal with the difficult situations of the circus.
D. To call for action to protect circus animals.
B. Continue its performances.
C. Use fewer wild animals.
D. Limit its profit.
B. They struggle continuously with human beings for existence.
C. They are helpful in saving their species.
D. They have equally natural living conditions as wild animals.
B. A newspaper article and a reply to it.
C. Two parts of a newspaper article.
D. Two newspaper reports.
I feel there arc a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we arc surrounded (包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as
fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom
cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less
take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with
this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children
are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat,
they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to
school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not
only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is
to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be
more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
B. Those who often watch television.
C. Those who often have meals at home.
D. Those who often walk to school.
B. they are too busy to go out and play
C. they can"t choose what to eat
D. there are too many fast food shops around
B. guiding
C. driving
D. moving
B. provide facts
C. give advice
D. compare opinions
and cut waste－a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.
Shopkeepers in Mod bury population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to
customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.
Last month, San Franciso became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws
to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where
governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already
bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.
Mod bury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag ammesty (宽限期), allowing
local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for a recveling. The Mod
bury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on manne life while working in the
Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response (反应) in the town so far had been "really positive".
"Mod bury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping
anyway," Hosking told Sky News Television.
The World watch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are
thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.
B. An environmentalist.
C. A sailor.
D. A photographer.
B. valuable
C. throw-away
D. long-lasting
B. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world.
C. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the world
D. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags
B. Big Cities Banning Plastic Bags
C. Effect of Plastic Fags on Sea Animals
D. British Town Banning Plastic Bags
people every year-almost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African. In most years, more than
five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess
because many people don"t (or can"t) seek care. It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred
dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer
works. In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace
can remain unaffected for long.
Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often,
headaches. As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the red
blood cells they infect (感染). They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. If it doesn"t kill
you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes
infected with one of four species of parasite. Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly
couple in the history of the earth-and one of the most successful. Malaria has five thousand genes, and its
ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control. Studies
show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with
large populations. Some of the disease"s spread is due to global warming.
For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a chemical
which is very cheap and easy to make. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have
become resistant to it. Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have
been in short supply and are very expensive. If these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would come next.
B. it is unusual to seek care
C. they can remain unaffected for long
D. there are too many people suffering from the disease
B. have ability to defend parasites
C. have their red blood cells infected
D. have sudden fever, followed by chills
B. Its ability to pass on the virus frequently.
C. Its outbreaks in cities with large populations.
D. Its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs.
B. the alternative treatment is not easily available to most people
C. malaria has developed its ability to resist parasites
D. nobody knows what will be the drug to treat the disease
B. How many people are killed by malaria each year?
C. Why are there so many people suffering from malaria?
D. What has been done to keep people unaffected for long?
