Millions of people get affected by it on a daily basis. This problem is more serious in the northern hemisphere (半球) where theres a huge growth in the number of industries. Winds absorb more and more quantities of harmful gases produced by various kinds of industries. Acid rain occurs when high levels of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide enter in the atmosphere and start chemical transformation. These harmful gases are absorbed by water droplets in the clouds and they fall on the earth during rains. They can damage the natural soil by increasing the acidity levels and pollute rivers and lakes. Dead and weakened trees are a very common sign of acid rain, while in cities worn off or scarred buildings are also a result of acid rain.Acid rain is actually a broad term which is used to describe different types of acid that fall from the atmosphere on earth. Its mainly divided into wet and dry. Parts of the world which experience wet weather have acid rain, acid snow and fog. Other parts which experience dry weather for most of the year experience acid gas and acid dust.One of the main causes of acid rain is a sudden drop in the pH levels of water and that happens because of absorption of harmful gases by the atmosphere. The best way to bring back the pH balance of water is to limit the use of items which run on petrol. Instead, use products which run on electricity.Another great thing that all people can do is to learn how to drive cars efficiently. To reduce smoke emission from cars, drivers should ease up as soon as the yellow light rather than slamming on the brakes and they shouldnt rush away as soon as the lights turn green. These small practices help reduce the wastage of petrol.Limit the use of buses or cars for small things, people can also make use of cycles or walk to cover small distances.Another great tip which almost all of us can practice is to always keep the vehicle tyres full of air, which will provide users with a better fuel economy.Turn off your lights, computers and other appliances when not in use.Learn about the different sources of energy besides fossil (化石) fuels and try to use them in daily life. Many nations like France and Germany are using electrical, nuclear, wind and solar energy on large basis.Title: Acid RainProblemAcid rain (1)_ millions of people and becomes a serious environmental threat to our planet today.OccurrenceHarmful gases (2)_ industries go into the atmosphere and chemical transformation happens.Water droplets in the clouds that have taken in the harmful gases come to the (3)_ when it rains.ResultsIt damages the soil and causes water (4)_ as well.It can weaken and even (5)_ trees, and will damage buildings in cities.(6)_Wet in the form of acid rain, acid snow and fog.Dry in the form of acid gas and acid dust.PreventionUse more electricity than petrol.Drive vehicles in an (7)_ way.Go to places (8)_ on foot or by bike.Keep the vehicle tyres full of air all the time.Turn off any electrical device the moment you stop (9)_ it.Try to (10)_ fossil fuels with other forms of energy, such as those produced from wind and the sun.答案：1.affects/influences2.from3.earth/ground4pollution5.kill/ruin/destroy6.Types/Kinds/Sorts/Categories7efficient8.nearby9.using10.replace检测评价B卷阅读理解AOUR PRODUCT RANGESKINCARERoyal Nectar is the amazing skincare product that has taken the world by storm.

What is striking about James Walvins new book is that, while focusing only on sugar, it does not restrict itself to the past. Rather, the book takes the story of perhaps the most popular crop of all time and brings it disturbingly into the present day.Walvin begins his research where most of us begin our relationship with the stuff: the sweet shops of childhood memory. If sugar is a guilty pleasure then it is one with which almost every one of us is drunk on a daily basis. The unstoppable march of sugar raises the question: why? After all, sugar cane (甘蔗) is difficult to grow and the processes of refinement and clarification required to produce eatable sugar are timeconsuming and expensive. Yet, as Walvin explains, sugar has one enormous temptation: it satisfies our seemingly born desire for sweet tastes, but the satisfaction that sugar provides comes at a terrible cost, both to those who produce it and those who consume it.Sugar changed world history more profoundly than any other crop. It fuelled the Atlantic slave trade and the African wars. Were familiar with the story of how millions of enslaved Africans were transported to the Caribbean, the US and Brazil, but the growing global demand for sugar also led to the migrations of other groups. The profitability of sugar production also inspired American producers to ship thousands of poor Indians from their homeland to the Caribbean, South America and Fiji as well as Japanese peasants to plan
