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. 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 carbon dioxide is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is true 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 population at the same time.

77.Hundreds of years ago, the pollution was _________it is today.

A. much easier than            B. as easy as

C. as hard as                  D. much less than

78.Our world is becoming much smaller_________.

A. because the earth is being polluted day and night

B. because science is developing

C. because of the rise in population

D. because the earth is blown away by the wind every year

79.Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution because_________.

A. it does harm to all living things in the world

B .it makes much noise

C. it makes our rivers and lakes dirty

D. it makes us angry more easily

80.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth.

B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world’s population does.

C. If people could go to work bike it would be helpful against the problem of carbon dioxide.

D. Many countries are making rules to fight against pollution.

You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation（撤离）of an island nation the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.

During the 20th century, sea level rose 8~12 inches .As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water that has polluted the country’s drinking water.

Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.

Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions（导致温室效应的气体排放）,which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years.” Laupepa told the BBC.

Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.

Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable （易受影响的）to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives,told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an“endangered nation”.

73. The text is mainly about_________.

A. rapid changes in earth’s temperature   B .bad effects of global warming

C .moving of a country to a new place    D. reasons for lowland flooding

74.According to scientists, the DIRECT cause of more and fiercer storms is_________.

A. greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations

B. higher surface water temperatures of the sea

C. continuous global warming

D. rising sea levels

75. Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not_________.

A. agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions

B. sign an agreement with Tuvalu

C. allow Tuvaluans to move to the US

D. believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real

76.The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is_________.

A. Australia                       B. New zealand

C. the Maldives                    D. the United States

The year was 1932. Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small single-engined aeroplane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter(高度表) failed and she didn’t know how high she was flying. At night, and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter. At times, her plane nearly plunged into the sea.

Just before dawn, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed flames coming from the engine. Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except to keep going and to hope.

In the end, Amelia Earhart did reach Ireland, and for the courage she had shown, she was warmly welcomed in England and Europe. When she returned to the United States, she was honored by President Hoover at a special dinner in the White House. From that time on, Amelia Earhart was famous.

What was so important about her flight? Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly the Atlantic Ocean alone, and she had set a record of fourteen hours and fifty-six minutes.

In the years that followed, Amelia Earhart made several flights across the United States, and on each occasion she set a new record for flying time. Amelia Earhart made these flights to show that women had a place in aviation (航空) and that air travel was useful.

Last January I was given a chance to work in another country. At first, I lived a  41    life, but soon I met a group of new friends and they were really nice.

Instead I tried to think of other   48  and told him not to worry because everything would be all right.

Before I left the hospital, I talked to the surgeon and asked him to do the surgery, saying I would pay the expenses the next day   49   I had that kind of money. Well, I must have been  50   because the surgeon agreed to do it! But how was I going to get that much money?

All I knew was that I needed to help my friend! Although it could be   51  to deal with this kind of situation, I decided to make some efforts. I tried to borrow money but failed.
