【答案】As is shown in this sentence, despite the rapid development of our country, our environment has been seriously polluted, with the rivers filled with dirty water and the sky covered with dust and haze.In my opinion, firstly, the sharp increase of the number of cars is an important contributing factor.The emissions of their exhaust gas into the atmosphere exert a disastrous effect on the air quality.Moreover, many factories, in order to pursue their short-term interests, discharge their industrial waste directly into the river, which has brought about serious water pollution.As for the measures we need to take, it is high time that we should use less cars, clean the water from the factories, reduce dirt in the air。

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Winter begins in the north on December 22nd.People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months, Sqzeirrels, for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees.【1】They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut(黑胡桃)trees【2】The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student nowat the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels.Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places.【3】So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring.Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground.【4】But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century. The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade(涌入)Indiana.【5】
