In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation world-wide has decreased significantly.A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic snow were declining.In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasoline and thus enabled scientists to differentiate the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States.In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that lead levels in soil in the North-eastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline.Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period.The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990.The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientists had expected.Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute.31. The study published in the journal Nature indicates that A) the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired resultsB) lead deposits in arctic snow are on the increaseC) lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expectedD) the US is the major source of lead pollution in arctic snow32. Lead accumulation worldwide decreased significantly after the use of unleaded gas in the USA) was discouragedB) was enforced by lawC) was prohibited by lawD) was introduced33. How did scientists discover the source of lead pollution in Greenland?A) By analyzing the data published in journals like Nature and Ambio.B) By observing the lead accumulations in different parts of the arctic area.C) By studying the chemical elements of soil and snow in Northeastern America.D) By comparing the chemical compositions of leaded gasoline used in various countries.34. The authors of the Ambio study have found that A) forests get rid of lead pollution faster than expectedB) lead accumulations in forests are more difficult to deal withC) lead deposits are widely distributed in the forests of the USD) the upper layers of soil in forests are easily polluted by lead emissions35. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that scientists A) are puzzled by the mystery of forest pollutionB) feel relieved by the use of unleaded gasolineC) still consider lead pollution a problemD) lack sufficient means to combat lead pollution五. 教学方法建议1本课程是泛读和快速阅读的混合型课程。泛读是一门进行大量阅读实践的课程，应该突出语言信息大而泛的特点，课内不宜详细讲解，不要成为变相的精读课或半精读课。对必须讲解的内容应以启发式教学为主，而不应该以教师为中心，以讲代读。讲解应有利于培养学生的阅读能力和概括能力。应该强调本课程培养的是阅读能力，注重的是对整体的理解，而不应拘泥于那些与整体理解无关宏旨的细节。2帮助学生克服畏难情绪，克服等待和依赖教师讲解的消极做法，抓紧课 外自学时间，按教学布置完成各阶段的阅读任务。鼓励学生独立阅读，独立思考。阅读过程中遇到问题或难点尽可能少查词典。3在阅读速度的训练中，阅读难度与阅读量的安排应遵循循序渐进的原则，做到逐步强化提高。 4泛读课基本上用英语进行教学，尽量少用汉语。要求学生在阅读时不要使用英汉词典；需要查词典时，也应尽可使用英英词典。5充分利用面
