Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D.（分数：10.00）_The envir
22、onment is everything that surrounds us: plants, animals, buildings, country, air, waterliterally everything that can affect us in any way. The environment of a town, with its buildings and traffic and its noise and smells, where everyone is on top of everyone else, is a far cry from that of the coun
23、tryside, with its fields and crops, its wild and domestic animals and its feeling of spaciousness. And the environment differs in different parts of the world. Ecology is the science of how living creatures and plants, exist together and depend on each other and on the local environment. Where an en
24、vironment is undisturbed, the ecology of an area is in balance, but if a creature is exterminated or an alien species introduced, then the ecology of the district will be upsetin other words, the balance of nature will be disturbed. Man is a part of the environment and has done more to upset the eco
25、logy during his short span on earth than any other living creature. He has done this by his ignorance, his greed, his foolishness and his wastefulness. He had poisoned the atmosphere and polluted both land and water. He has wasted the earth s natural resources with no thought for the future, and has
26、 thought out the most devastating ways of killing his fellow menand every other sort of life at the same time. Since man has done so much damage, it is up to man to try to put matters rightif it is not already too late. If there is to be any remedy for our ills, that remedy ultimately lies in the ha
27、nds of the young, and the sooner they start doing something about it, the better. One of the main causes of the earth s troubles is that the world is overpopulated and that this overpopulation is growing at an ever-increasing rate. At the same time we are using up our natural resourcesfuels and mine
28、ral oresat an ever-increasing rate with no hope of replacing them. For many years the earth has been unable to provide enough food for these rapidly expanding populations and the position is steadily deteriorating since the fertility of some of our richest soils has been lost and vast areas that wer
29、e once fertile lands have turned into barren deserts. And the trouble with deserts is that they tend to creep outwards on to the fertile soils. What is now the northern Sahara Desert was the granary of the civilized world 500 years ago. Even at this moment many of the earth s natural treasures are b
30、eing destroyed, many valuable animals and plants are being killed off, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to grow enough food to preserve much of the earth s population from starvation. The situation is getting out of hand. Time is running out. But with your help, we may be able to reverse th
31、e trends that threaten our very existence. Who cares?（分数：10.00）(1).The ecology of an area is in balance if_.（分数：2.00）A.there is no noiseB.there is no interferenceC.there is no interruptionD.there are no people(2).During his life on earth, man has_.（分数：2.00）A.done more than any living creatureB.cause
32、d the most damage to the ecologyC.damaged the ecology more than he has living creaturesD.done more harm than good(3).The young_.（分数：2.00）A.can handle the problemB.have the answer to the problemC.are responsible for the problemD.hold the responsibility for the future(4).One of the greatest problems i
33、s that there are_.（分数：2.00）A.many people in the world expanding rapidlyB.too many people in the world, and their numbers are increasingC.too many people increasing in the worldD.too many people in the world always expanding(5).The main purpose of this passage is_.（分数：2.00）A.to inform people about th
34、e science of ecologyB.to encourage people to do something about the environmentC.to criticize Man s actionsD.to help us understand the world we live inIn the late 1960s, many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems , and new steel-and-glass skyscrapers were widely cr
35、iticized. Ecologists pointed out that a cluster of tall buildings in a city often overburdens public transportation and parking lot capacities. Skyscrapers are also lavish consumers, and wasters, of electric power. In one recent year, the addition of 17 million square feet of skyscraper office space
36、 in New York City raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120,000 kilowattsenough to supply the entire city of Albany, New York, for a day. Glass-walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful. The heat loss(or gain)through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more than ten times than through a
37、 typical masonry wall filled with insulation board. To lessen the strain on heating and air-conditioning equipment, builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed panels of glass, and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that reduce glare as well as heat gain. However,
38、 mirror-walled skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings. Skyscrapers put a severe strain on a city s sanitation facilities, too. If fully occupied, the two World Trade Center towers in New York City would alone generate 2. 25 million gallons of raw se
39、wage each year as much as a city the size of Stanford, Connecticut, which has a population of more than 109,000. Skyscrapers also interfere with television reception, block bird flyways, and obstruct air traffic. In Boston in the 1960s, some people even feared that shadows from skyscrapers would kil
40、l the grass on Boston Common. Still, people continue to build skyscrapers for all the reasons that they have always built them personal ambition, civic pride, and the desire of owners to have the largest possible amount of rentable space.（分数：10.00）(1).The main purpose of the passage is to_.（分数：2.00）
