Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place.Now it is an ecological disaster area.Naurus heartbreaking story could have one good consequenceother countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years,Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru,far from western civilization.The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798.He was the British captain of the Hunter,a whaling ship.He called the island Pleasant Island.However,because it was very remote,Nauru had little munication with Europeans at first.Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit,bringing guns and alcohol.These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island.A ten-year civil war started,which reduced the population from 1400 to 900.Naurus real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining pany discovered phosphate(磷酸鹽)on the island.In fact,it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate,which is a very important fertilizer for farming.The pany began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground;it is a strip mine.When a pany strip-mines,it removes the top layer of soil.Then it takes away the material it wants.Strip-mining totally destroys the land.Gradually,the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968,Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world.Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.Unfortunately,the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.In addition,they used millions more dollars for personal expenses.Soon people realized that they had a terrible problemtheir phosphate was running out.Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing.By xx,Nauru was almost financially ruined.Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island.This will probably never happen.36.What might be the authors purpose in writing the text?A.To seek help for Naurus problems.B.To give a warning to other countries.C.To show the importance of money.D.To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.提示:主旨大意題。文章第一段提到瑙魯前后的變化以及該段最后一句“.other countries might learn from its mistakes.”可知作者的寫作目的是為了引起其他國家的重視,以示警告。故選B項。答案:B37.What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?A.Rich and powerful.B.Modern and open.C.Peaceful and attractive.D.Greedy and aggressive.提示:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句“.used to be a beautiful place.”以及第二段第一句“.lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization.”可知瑙魯在歐洲人到來之前是一個安定而美麗的地方。答案:C38.The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from .A.soil pollutionB.phosphate overminingC.farming activityD.whale hunting提示:細節(jié)理解題。文章第四段提到一家英國礦業(yè)公司發(fā)現(xiàn)瑙魯含有豐富的磷酸鹽后開始開采,第五段又說明了其實這種露天礦的開采破壞了土壤的表層,最終使得“the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon”。因此可以看出其生態(tài)災(zāi)難是由過度的采礦引起的,故B項正確。答案:B39.Which of the following was a cause of Naurus financial problem?A.Its leaders misused the money.B.It spent too much repairing the island.C.Its phosphate mining cost much money.D.It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.提示:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段前兩句“.the leader invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses.”可知領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人使用資金不當(dāng),致使瑙魯陷入財政困難。故選A項。答案:A40.What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?A.The ecological damage is difficult to repair.B.The leaders will take the experts words seriously.C.The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.D.The phosphate mines were destroyed.提示:推理判斷題。結(jié)合文章最后一段倒數(shù)第二句專家所說的修復(fù)瑙魯(島)需要花的錢和時間,以及最后一句“This will probably never happen.”可以推斷一旦造成生態(tài)破壞,是很難修復(fù)的。故選A項。答案:ABPeople all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution.Pollution is caused either by mans release of pletely new artificial substances into the environment,or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance,such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in our daily lives,is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance,or the ecological(生態(tài)的) balance as is also known.Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed(處理) of.But while more and more new and plex goods are produced,there will be new,dangerous waste to be disposed of,for example,the waste products from nuclear power stations.Many people,therefore,see pollution as only part of a larger and more plex problem,that is,the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods.Others again see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture,where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their land to feed our ever-increasing population.However,the land itself is gradually being worn out as it is being used,in some cases,too heavily,and artificial fertilizers can not restore the balance.Whatever its underlying reasons are,there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only panies,individuals and governments would make more efforts.In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste.Food es wrapped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of;drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which can not be reused.This not only causes a litter problem,but also is a great waste of resources,in terms of glass,metals and paper.Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need,but also to throw away much of what we do buy.Pollution and waste bine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying,excessive consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives.41.The main cause of pollution is .A.our ever-increasing populationB.increased amounts of a natural substanceC.the release of artificial or natural substances into the environmentD.the production of new industrial goods提示:由原文中心含義可知,污染的原因在于隨意排放各種物質(zhì)。原文第一段第二句清楚地說明了這一點。答案:C42.In the writers view,the more new goods,.A.the less pollutionB.the harder pollution can be preventedC.the more easily pollution can be controlledD.the more pollution there will be提示:原文第二段首句表明我們在生產(chǎn)各種生活用品時,肯定會產(chǎn)生破壞生態(tài)平衡的廢物。再由第二段二、三句可見,生產(chǎn)的新產(chǎn)品越多,造成的污染就越大。答案:D43.Much of the pollution could be controlled if only .A.people would pay more attention to the problemB.governments would take effective measuresC.all sides concerned would make more effortsD.farmers would use less artificial fertilizers提示:由原文第三段第一句可得出只有各方齊努力,才能控制污染。答案:C44.Many people see pollution as only part of .A.our daily lifeB.the environmental balanceC.the consumption of goods by manD.the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods提示:原文第二段第四句表明答案為D項。答案:D45.People can help solve the problem of pollution by .A.making anti-pollution advertisementsB.reducing unnecessary buying,excessive consumption and careless disposal of the products we useC.asking the governments to control the wasteD.cutting down the use of oil提示:由文中第三段最后一句話可知B項正確。答案:B.任務(wù)型讀寫(共10小題;每題1分,共10分)Most scientists are now certain that global warming is taking place.Gases such as carbon dioxide produced by burning coal,oil,wood,together with industrial pollution,are creating a warm blanket around the earth.This blanket is trapping heat in the atmosphere and so raising the temperature of the earth.The evidence for global warming can now be seen in the worlds changing climate statistics.In Europe,eight of the last ten years have seen record high temperature.For northern Europe,this has generally been a change for the better.Gardens can even now grow tropical plants in England,though London may never see a “White Christmas” again.On the other hand,the countries around the Mediterranean Sea,and those south of the Sahara desert are receiving even less rain than before.In sub-Saharan Africa the crops are drying out in the fields and people are dying of starvation.In the Americas,the climate is being more extremethe summers are getting hotter and hotter and the storms are being more violent.In xx the southern United States was struck by a series of destructive hurricanes,while the end of xx saw the worst floods ever in Venezuela.Meteorologists expect such trends to continue,and indeed to worsen,if global warming cannot be halted(終止).In addition to worrying about rising global temperatures and more extreme weather conditions,scientists are closely monitoring sea levels around the world.These are slowly rising,as the northern and southern polar ice-caps start to melt.This will have serious consequences for low-lying countries near the sea,such as the coral islands in the Pacific,and Bangladesh where the River Ganges already folds the delta(三角洲) every year.Already parts of these places are disappearing under the rising tides.Title: Global WarmingMain itemsContexts46Gases from burning coal,oil,wood,together

Our Hometown”為題目給某英文報社的警世鐘欄目寫一稿件。至少提出兩條建議。例如:1.凈化廢氣。2.種樹栽花。注意:詞數(shù)120左右。參考范文:Protect Our HometownThere used to be a large number of trees in front of my village.The air was fresh and many birds were singing there.But the villagers were eager to make money.They cut down all the trees to build up a chemical factory instead.The smoke from the factory does harm to the crops and vegetables.The dust falls into the rivers and the villagers houses.The plants,trees and fish died.The waste gas should be made clean before it goes into the sky.More trees and flowers should be planted in the village.We must protect our hometown;otherwise we will have no place to live in.
