Question

由于现代交通和现代通讯设备的应用世界变得越来越小，今日的生活比数百年前要方便得多，但也由之带来新的问题，其中之一便是污染．本文围绕带来的危害而展开议论，并呼吁要立法，以净化自然，保护环境，保护人类生存的家园－－地球．

　　The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means(通讯设备). Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution(污染). To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, sell 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 a place, men moved to another place. But this is not longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.

　　Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad to all living things in the world, but it is not only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.

　　Many countries are making rules(法规) to fight pollution. They stop the people from burning coal(煤) in houses and factories in the city, and from blowing dirty smoke into the air.

　　The pollution of SO₂ is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It is caused(引起) by heavy traffic. It is 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 keep careful of the rise in population at the same time.

Answer 1

答案：B;D;C;A;D
解析：

剖析：1．这是一道概括题．除了要懂全文外，其关键是对某些动词短语必须熟悉．本句中的thank to意为“由于”． 　　2．这是一道细节题，文中有一句：Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago，正是设题的反句，其中对比的关键词是much harder than和much easier than． 　　3．听到的显然是噪音污染． 　　4．这是一道细节题．第3段一开始：Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad to all living things in the world，…与此题密切相关． 　　5．这是一道是非判断题，要通读全文，才能推断出，而且要特别注意的一点是问句中用了is not true？这里的not下面笔者加了点，是易错点．
