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.14. （8分）根据短文内容，判断正误。Lily comes from England.

And they often lead to heart attacks and other untreated diseases. For example, black people are three to four times more likely than white people to have high blood pressure and twice as likely as the white population to die of a stroke (中风).New research has found out the surprisingly high levels of salt in many of black peoples favorite meals. I stopped putting extra salt in my food at the table long ago and I try to cut down on the salt. I use in cooking. The suggested daily level of salt for adults is 6 grams. It is easy to see that if you try not to eat too many processed (加工过的) foods and use salt in your cooking within the limit, you wont reach more than the daily level.The research showed how much salt there is in some foods that we buy from restaurants and takeaways. An average salad with rice and peas has 6.2 grams of salt. This is more salt than you are supposed to eat for the whole day.A researcher talked about the importance of home cooking rather than take-outs. At home, he pointed out, not only can you hold control of the salt bottle, but also you can create tasty food which is low on salt. The researcher later provided curry goat and rice and peas. They were low on salt, but completely delicious.I do not suppose Jamaicans are going to stop buying takeaways soon. But if you suffer from high blood pressure, it is probably better not to buy them often.（1）The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to _.A . white peopleB . black peopleC . untreated diseasesD . high blood pressure and diabetes（2）What has the new research found out according to Paragraph 2?A . Black people take in too much salt.B . Black peoples meals are very special.C . Processed foods have too much salt in them.D . 6 grams of salt per day is enough for an adult.（3）What would the writer probably suggest black people do?A . Order no salad in a restaurant.B . Take in no salt for several days.C . Stop cooking their favorite meals.D . Eat less takeaways.（4）The researcher provided curry goat and rice and peas in order to _.A . thank those who came to his home for his researchB . let people know that eating less salt makes one healthierC . show that tasty food with less salt can be made at homeD . prove the less salt the food has the more delicious it is（5）What would be the best title for this passage?A . Watch the saltB . Take care, black peopleC . Say no to takeawaysD . Say no to high blood pressure16. （8分）阅读理解Visiting Mineral City!Mineral City is an interesting place to visit.
