Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the
biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We
see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem
was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was
dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.
Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It"s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one
kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us
angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and
factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous
kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there
will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And
we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.
B. Thanks to science development
C. Because the earth is being polluted day and night
D. Because the earth is blown away by the wind every year
B. as easy as
C. much harder than
D. as hard as
B. noise pollution
C. air pollution
D. water pollution
B. it makes us angry more easily
C. it makes our rivers and lakes dirty
D. it"s bad for all living things in the world
B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world population does.
C. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth.
D. If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike, it would be helpful in fighting
against the problem of SO2.

recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means
we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the
greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first
place.
The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a
typical household"s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with
plastic and cardboard.
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of
it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off green-house gases which go on
to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to
produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage
customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot
continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with
quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food.
But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary
material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain
to climb.
B. Recycling too many wastes.
C. Making more products than necessary.
D. Having more material than is needed.
B. the increase of packaging recycling
C. the rapid growth of supermarkets
D. the fact of packaging overuse
B. means burning packaging for energy
C. is the solution to gas shortage
D. leads to a waste of land
B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.
C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.
D. Other products are better packaged than food.
B. Needless material is mostly recycled.
C. People like collecting recyclable waste.
D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.
years. Liu, 15, is a Junior 2 student at Chicheng No. 2 Middle School. He began smoking four years ago.
"Smoking is part of my life," Liu said. Qiao and Liu are not those boys" real names. But their problem, smoking,
is a very real problem. In many countries, smoking is becoming a bigger problem for young people. Most
smokers start in their teens (years of a person"s age from 13 to 19) or earlier.
A study of 8,000 Beijing students last May told us that smoking is a problem for many Chinese kids.
More than 21% of middle school students and 6% of primary school pupils said they smoked.
"If young people start smoking early, they will probably get addicted to nicotine. And it will be very hard
to give up later on," said a professor.
Every year, about four million people die because of smoking. And if people keep smoking, that number
will go up to about 10 million a year by 2030, the World Health Organization (WHO) says. So we have to
learn and tell others about the dangers of smoking.
B. Smoking is very important to me.
C. I don"t smoke at all.
D. I"m going to give up smoking.
B. He cannot stop smoking.
C. It will be difficult for him to give up smoking.
D. He will become lazy soon.
B. there are more and more smokers in China
C. some student smokers have already been seriously addicted
D. most of the smokers are young students
B. many people die because of smoking every year
C. WHO asks young people to give up smoking
D. nicotine makes people addicted
B. We should ask others to smoke outside.
C. We should laugh at smokers.
D. We should say no to smoking.
Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about
attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical
opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger
was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So
did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt
in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a
bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor
ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply
and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have
moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea; clothes need to be whiter
than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children
off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an
American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune
system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.
B. they thought bath houses were to dirty to stay in
C. they believed disease could be spread in public baths
D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
B. Curious
C. Approving
D. Uninterested
B. By making comparisons.
C. By following the order of time.
D. By following the order of importance.
B. To introduce the history of dirt.
C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.
D. To present the change of views on dirt.
the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs
while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite
exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to
finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. It"s
a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through
each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just
one bite of their grandmother"s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my "no thank you," or
by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it"s okay to just say "no." I shouldn"t feel sorry for
refusing food that I don"t want to eat.
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream?
Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self-confidence
and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my
face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It"s through
commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
B. Because she finishes her favorite exercise.
C. Because she enjoys the interesting DVD.
D. Because she feels a sense of achievement.
B. She likes to make others surprised.
C. Others don"t understand what she dose.
D. Others try to help her by offering her food.
B. Firm belief
C. A strong power
D. A regular habit
B. She wants to look different from others.
C. She aims to develop a good body shape.
D. She has difficulty getting along with others.
environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing
but bad news about the environment. The "eco-guilt" brought on by the discouraging about our planet gives
rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.
Perhaps that explains why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity. That book, The
Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the "real state of the world" as fine. Of course, another
explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborg"s views
are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities though the media to
confuse the public about issues like global warming.
So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborg"s book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were
contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews
full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that "After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin
to die down."
Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in
Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborg"s
"preference for unexamined materials is incredible (不可信的)".
A critical (批判的) eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could
allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire
to be shocking or to defend some special interest. People might become half-blind before a world partially
exhibited by the media. That"s a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too
important to be treated lightly.
B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.
C. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.
D. People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.
B. The book challenges views about the fine state of the world.
C. The author convinces people to speak comforting worldviews.
D. Industry-funded media present confusing information.
B. find fault with Lomborg"s book
C. challenge the authority of the media
D. point out the value of scientific views.
B. To warn the public of the danger of half-blindness with reviews.
C. To blame the media"s lack of responsibility in information.
D. To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media.
