试题分析:本文通过现在与过去情况的对比,提出了保护环境的重要性。人们知道捕鱼太多会造成渔业资源的枯竭,也知道如果过多砍伐树木会造成森林的消失,更知道过量的废物排放会造成河流的污染,然而人们对此还是明知故犯,作者对此类现象在文中进行了分析,而且提出了相应的解决方法。

1.C考查对上下文的推理判断能力。根据下文There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.可知此处是讲述过去的情况,而C选项In the past, man didn’t have to think about…..也是讲述过去的状况,所以C选项内容符合语境,故答案选C.

2.F考查对上下文的推理判断能力。上文作者提到世界人口的激增与污染等问题,纵观选项,F项内容涉及到了这些现象的后果,故能承接上文,答案选F.

3.D考查对上下文的推理判断能力。根据副词 However可知此处内容是关于污染的,而且和in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea构成转折关系,故答案选D.

4.A考查对上下文的推理判断能力。在本段中作者提到了一些解决问题的方法,比如生产粮食的土地比饲养动物的土地能够养活更多的人,因此人们要多吃蔬菜,少吃肉, 以及控制人口增长等,由此判断A选项内容能够起到引领下文的作用,故答案选A.

5.G考查对上下文的推理判断能力。作者在本段中提到了一些解决问题的方法,比如控制人口增长等 ,而G选项”学会资源再利用”也是解决问题的方法之一,内容符合语境,由此判断G为正确选项.

考点:考查信息匹配。

  Audiences used to dislike compilation (汇编) albums (专辑). The only option (选择之事物) for fans wanting a variety of songs from different artists was movie soundtracks (电影录音带).

  But now compilation discs (唱片) have come of age. Mindful of the success of the“Now That’s What I Call Music!” series in Europe  record companies are succeeding with the same thing in the Unites States. They are persuading hot artists like Britney Spears and Destiny’s Child to lend them their current hits (成功的尝试或表演).

  The rule is simple; “Just get a bunch of hit songs in one record,” said 98 Degrees member Drew Lachey. His band (乐队) has been featured on at least two compilations this year.

  “There’s no gamble (冒险事业) involved,” said Antonio Reid, president of Artista Records. “When you know exactly what you’re getting, you’re getting the top hits by the top stars, so it’s a great value.”

  With the music and media (大众传播工具) worlds split (分割) into so many different factions (派系) these days, it’s harder for one artist to capture mass attention and keep it. “It’s what customers prefer, it’s what teenagers prefer,” Red said.“It’s supply and demand.”

  Part of the reason the United Sates was so far behind Europe with successful compilations was because artists resisted (反对) lending their hits, fearing that could hurt sales of their own albums. But once that record became a success, record companies notice that many of the artists actually saw sales increase.

  Fans who buy a compilation record because they like the Blackstreet Boys or Sisqo may then turn around and buy an album by a lesser - known artist.

  “Soundtracks will always have the advantage,” said Bruce Resnickoff, president of Universal Music Enterprises.“Because of the budgets (预算) that go behind marketing (销售) the movies.”
