Pollution is caused either by mans release of completely new and often artificial （人造的） substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance（物质）, such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food come wrapped up three of four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cant be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want not need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal （处理） of the the products we use in our daily lives.31. The main cause of pollution is _.A. the release of artificial or natural substances into the environmentB. the production of new industrial goodsC. increased amounts of a natural substanceD. our ever-increasing population32. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only _.A. people would pay more attention to the problemB. governments would take effective measuresC. all sides concerned would make more effortsD. farmers would use less articicial fertilizers33. Food package, bottles and tins for drinks can cause _.A. air and water pollutionB. both a litter problem and a waster of resourcesC. to pay for the service D. to produce the receipt34. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution?A. Cutting out unnecessary buying.B. Eating.C. Reduce excess use.D. Carefully dispose our daily products.35. What does the underlined word “litter mean in paragraph 2?A. not many B. serious problemC. bits of waste thingsD. industrial pollution3640小题：阅读下列短文，并根据短文内容判断其后的句子是否正确(T)、错误(F)，还是文字中没有涉及相关信息(NG)。 短文理解3 Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, “London is not a city, it is a nation.” Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast range of different ethnic groups, is a world.Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity.Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethinic minority groups, including the growing number of Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain. Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriage will go to school with children of Russian-Irish couples. None of them will be English, but all of them will be Londoners.Most of Britains ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages. Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83%) and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population of London.There are an estimated 330.000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recetn arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan.Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several differnet ethinic identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds, and their friends and partners do so, too. They are “skilled cross-cultrual travellers” without leaving their hom-town.36. London is a nation.37. The city of London was founded by the Romans.38.
