1.3 閱讀理解
A
Our surroundings are being polluted faster than nature and man’s present efforts cannot prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man made materials.
What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man-by his desire(欲望)for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization(工業(yè)化)”our chief aim. So we are often ready to offer everything; clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years pollution has become a serious problem.
Isn’t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going-and why? It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker. “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news s that we’re lost and don’t know where we’re going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society.
1．Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted because .
A. they want very much to find well-paid jobs
B. they are anxious to enjoy the achievements
C. they have become tired of their homeland
D. they have a strong wish to become industrial workers.
答案B
3．According to the passage, what does man value most among the following?
A. Industry B. Health
C. Clean air D. The future of the children
解析 此題考查推理判斷能力。由文章得知，人類以“工業(yè)化進(jìn)程”作為追求目標(biāo)，故人類最器重的莫過于工業(yè)了。
答案A
4．The story about the airline pilot tells us that .
A. man know where the society is going
B. people do not welcome the rapid development of modern society
C. man can do little about the problem of pollution
D. the writer is worried about the future of our society
解析 此題考查綜合分析能力。作者講述飛行員故事的目的在于：環(huán)境污染將嚴(yán)重影響交通，這表明了作者對未來環(huán)境的擔(dān)憂。
答案D
5．What does the writer really want to say in this passage?
A. With the development of technology pollution has become a serious problem.
B. Lower the speed of development to stop pollution.
C. It’s time we did something to reduce pollution.
D. As industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural result.
解析 此題考查中心歸納。作者通過剖析環(huán)境污染產(chǎn)生的原因，及預(yù)測它對人類生活的危害，從而展示了此問題的嚴(yán)重性。因此，最后呼吁人們降低環(huán)境污染。
答案C
D
In many countries today, laws protect wild life. In India ,the need for such protection was realized centuries ago.
About 300 B.C. an Indian writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today. The killing of tame beasts was carefully supervised(監(jiān)督). Some animals were fully protected. Within the forest, nobody was allowed to cut trees, burn wood for charcoal, or catch animals for their furs. Animals that became dangerous to human visitors were caught or killed outside the park, so that other animals would not become uneasy.
The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before. About a thousand species(物種)of animals are in danger of extinction(dying out), and the rate at which they are being destroyed has increased. With mammals(哺乳動物)，for instance, the rate of extinction is now about one species every year: from 1 A.D. to 1800, the rate was about one species every fifty years. Everywhere, men are trying to solve the problem of protection wildlife while caring for the world’s growing population.
1．The example of man’s connection with wildlife protection can date back to .
A. the 3rd century B. over 2000 years ago
C. 1 A.D. D. 1800 A.D.
解析 此題考查推理判斷能力。由文章第二段得知，一位印度作家是在公元前300年左右寫了一篇關(guān)于保護(hù)野生生物的文章。故推斷此文應(yīng)追溯到2000年前。

2．In forests of ancient India .
A. people were permitted to hunt for fur

3．Dangerous animals were caught or killed outside the park .
A. so as to keep human visitors sage
B. in order not to frighten other animals

答案B
4．From the passage we can infer that .
A. the growth of the world’s population means greater danger to wildlife.
B. about a thousand species are in danger of extinction

D. hunting animals is forbidden everywhere
解析 此題考查綜合分析、判斷能力。縱觀全文，大約有1000種動物瀕臨滅亡邊緣；哺乳動物的滅絕率急劇上升；狩獵雖未完全被禁止，但也不了嚴(yán)格的限制，用排除方法，可知世界人口的增長增大了對野生生物的威脅。
答案A
C
In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.

Everyone realized today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet, we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.

Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycle them.
The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.

Save the Animals
Animals are natural resources(資源)that people have wasted all through our history.
Animals have been killed for their for and feathers(羽毛), for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.
Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance (平衡)of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create(產(chǎn)生)many problems.
For example, when farmers killed large numbers of haws (鷹)，the farmers’ stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers the rats and mice multiplied(繁殖)quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.

Farmer Ed Rawlings smiles as he looks at his orange trees. The young oranges are growing well in Florida’s weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with Ed Rawlings’ expert care, will produce a good crop of oranges this year.
But Ed has to fight against Florida’s changeable winter weather. In January and February, temperatures can destroy Ed’s entire orange crop. Having farmed in Florida for the past35 years, Ed Rawlings is prepared for the frosts(霜). When temperatures drop below freezing, Ed tries to save his crop by watering his orange trees. The water freezes and forms a thin layer(層) of ice on the trees. Strange as it may sound, this thin layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm.
What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is sucked in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level. Ed Rawlings has effectively used this method(方法)to save many orange crops.
But Ed still faces some difficulties. The trees should be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point. Also, just the right quantity of water must be used. Too much water can form a thick layer of ice that will break the trees branches. Another difficulty is that wind blows away the heat. So Ed has to worry about not only when buy also how often his trees should be watered and how much water should be used.
Computer technology may help Ed Rawlings with some of these worries. With equipment, air and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured. The computer can correctly decide the quantity of water to be used and how frequently the trees should be watered. Ed Rawlings will find looking after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a computer, and we’ll all have the benefits (or advantages) of computer age orange.
