Question

閱讀理解

　　The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means(通訊設備). 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(污染). To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes from many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.

　　Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.

　　Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.

　　Many countries are making rules(法規) to fight against pollution. They stop people from burning coal(煤) in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO₂ is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused(引起) by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.

　　The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.

Answer 1

答案：B;C;B;D;C
解析：

1．這是一道推理判斷題．根據短文第一句The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means.可以推斷出，由于科學的發展，我們的地球變得更小了． 　　2．這是一道細節題，短文第一段中Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago說明，數百年前生活比今天更艱難． 　　3．這是一道所指題．本文提及了空氣污染、水污染和噪聲污染，it指三種污染方式之一的噪聲污染，所以我們能聽到． 　　4．這是一道細節題．根據短文第三段中Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world.得知，由于空氣污染對世界的生物有危害，所以它是最嚴重的污染． 　　5．這是一道正誤辨認題．通讀全文，尤其是短文第二段可以看出，世界的人口急劇增加，土地將被用光，整個地球受到污染，所以說居住在地球上的人口不太多，污染問題不太嚴重的說法是不正確的．
