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 a place, men moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. Its 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 to fight pollution. They stop the people from burning coal 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 by heavy traffic. It is certain 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 be careful of the rise in population at the same time.56.Our world is becoming much smaller _.A. because the earth is being polluted day and nightB. because science is developingC. because of the rise in populationD. because the earth is blown away by the wind every year57.Thousands of years ago, life was _ it is today.A. much easier than B. as easy as C. as hard as D. much harder than58.Pollution comes in many ways. We can even hear it. Here “it” means _.A. water pollution B. air pollution C. noise pollution D. rubbish59.Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution because _.A. its bad to all living things in the worldB. it makes much noiseC. it has made our rivers and lakes dirtyD. it makes us become angry more easily60.Which of the following is not true?A. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the worlds population does.C. From now on, maybe people will try to go to work by bus or by bike instead of by car or by motorbike. It is helpful to fight against the problem of SO2 .D.

The two climbers were climbing an ice-covered wall of the mountain when they suddenly lost their footing and fell about 560 feet to a narrow snow-covered ledge(悬崖突出部分) below. “We were lucky that ledge was there,” said the climbers. “Otherwise, we would have fallen over 2000 feet.” If the ledge had not been there, the two climbers would almost certainly have met their death. “Its a wonder,” the climbers said, “that we landed on the ledge, and the snow was loose enough to cushion(缓冲) our fall.

From the pie chart, we can see 53% of the students like sports, so doing sports is the most popular activity in our school. The second popular activity for students is surfing the Internet and 36 % of the students have interest in it. Only a few students, about 8 percent of them, take reading as a hobby. And even fewer are fond of playing musical instruments.In my point of view, our school should have more sports facilities built to satisfy the need of the students. Guidance should be given to students on surfing the Internet and ways must be found to arouse students interests in reading and music.高一英语 第 7 页 共 7 页
