Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution.To pollute means to make things unfit or unclean to use. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even eat it. Pollution is beginning to threaten (威胁) our health, our happiness and our life.Man has been polluting the earth from the time he first made fire, washed his clothes in the river and threw his waste on the ground. When land was used up or water became dirty, men moved on to another place. At first, the problem was not so serious because there was plenty of clean air, land and water. There werent so many people then and their wants fewer. All the dirty things could be absorbed(吸收) by nature and soon covered over. But this is no longer true. The increase of pollution and the development of industry(工业) have changed that. Man is slowly poisoning(毒害)not only his environment but also himself.Through the use of poison, man has polluted the land, killing the animals. By putting dirty water and chemicals into rivers and lakes we have polluted our drinking water, killing the fish.Our increasing population is part of the problem. More people, more waste.Where is this all to end? Are we turning the world into a big rubbish dump(堆存处)，or is there any hope that we can get rid of (摆脱，除去) the pollution? Luckily, millions of people have been warned of the danger of pollution. Large numbers of people are now working hard to bring pollution under control.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. This means keeping the land, air and water clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.（1）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A . We live on the earth, so we should look after it.B . Man is fighting against different kinds of pollution.C . To pollute means to make air, water and land unfit for use.D . All the waste produced by modern industry can be absorbed.（2）In Paragraph4, the underlined word “chemicals” mean _.A . 化学物质B . 医疗器械C . 污染源D . 塑料制品（3）Through the uncontrolled use of poison man has_.A . made the drinking water dirtyB . polluted the landC . killed the animalsD . all of the above（4）From the sentences “More people, more waste.” We know that _ .A . we need more people, not more wasteB . the increase of population caused more waste.C . there isnt any hope that we can get rid of the pollutionD . More people have been warned of the danger of more waste.（5）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A . Man begins to understand the pollution.B . Man doesnt know how to control pollution.C . Man is doing something to control pollution.D . Man still doesnt realize how serious pollution is.3. （10分）根据表格信息，选择正确答案。 Beishan Snow World Ski ParkTicke1 Price: 20 yuanActivity Price: 50 yuan/ hour on weekdays70 yuan/hour on weekendsOpening Time: 10: 00 am-3: 00 pmTel: S595885Volunteers WantedCan you speak English?

Their school days are busy enough. After school, though, Cathy takes the two boys from football to basketball. Then she has to take her daughter to piano lessons. The tired children dont get home until 7 pm. They have a quick supper, and its time for homework.The Taylors are like many American and British parents. They take their children from activity to activity, and try to fit as much as possible into their kids lives. Doctors say many children are under too much pressure. Teachers complain(抱怨) about teaching tired kids in the classroom.Most children take part in after-school clubs. Activities include sports, language learning, music and math classes. Pushy parents are nothing new, but now parents seem to push their children a lot more. Parents see other children doing a lot of things, and they feel their own children should do the same.Linda Miller, a mother of three in London, knows all about such pressure. “In some families, competition starts from a very young age,” she says. “Mothers send their kids to all kinds of classes when they are very young. And they are always comparing them with other children. Its crazy. People shouldnt push their kids so hard.Dr Alice Green agrees. She also says that these children may find it hard to think for themselves when they are older. “Parents are trying to plan their kids lives for them. When these kids are adults, they might find it difficult to plan things for themselves.” Parents should learn to give their kids a bit more time to themselves. On one hand, children need organized activities. On the other hand, they also need time and freedom to relax, and they need time to do things by themselves.（1）Cathy Taylor sends her daughter to .A . math classesB . language schoolC . sport clubD . piano lessons（2）Why do teachers complain about teaching those children in the classroom?A . Because they are very tired.B . Because they know a lot of things.C . Because they are under too much pressure.D . Because they cant plan things for themselves.（3）From the passage, we know children take part in after-school activities because .A . they have interest in themB . their teachers tell them to do soC . their parents push them to do soD . they see other children doing these things（4）The writer probably thinks that parents should .A . compare their children with othersB . plan their childrens lives for themC . take their children to different classesD . give children time and let them do things by themselves5. （8分）根据短文内容，选择正确答案。It was just three degrees above zero.
