People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often artificial substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance , such as oil tankers into the sea．

The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance, or the ecological balance as it is also known. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new and complex goods are produce there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people, therefore, see pollution as only part of a larger and more complex problem, that is, the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods. Others again see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their land to feed our ever-increasing populations. However, the land itself is gradually becoming worn out as it is being used in some cases, too heavily, and artificial fertilizer cannot restore the balance.

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 comes wrapped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused． This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in term of glass, metals and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor 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 consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives.

45．The underlined phrase “disposed of ”in the second paragraph means_______.

A． dealt with               B． exposed

C． disapproved of           D． collected

46． In the writer’s view ,the more new goods, _______.

A． the less pollution

B． the harder pollution can be prevented

C． the more pollution there will be

D． the more easily pollution can be controlled

47．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A． We can do much to reduce pollution.

B． The government is trying hard to stop pollution.

C． Individuals know how to get rid of the habit of littering everywhere.

D． We can’t stop buying unnecessary things.

48． People can help solve the problem of pollution by _______.

A． urging their governments to control litter and waste

B． making anti-pollution advertisements

C． cutting down the use of oil and other oil products

D． reducing unnecessary buying, over-consumption and careless disposal of wastes

If we planted a lot more trees in just the right places, they could reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere to levels not seen since the 1920s, said study leader Jean Francois Bastin, an ecologist from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. After examining more than 70,000 high-quality satellite photos of trees from all over the planet, ecologists concluded that the earth could support 900 million additional hectares (公顷) of tree cover.

Bastin and his colleagues developed a computer program that estimates how much forested land could be restored both now and in a future warmer world. The team members combed through 78,774 satellite photos of a variety of ecosystems- everywhere from the thick Amazon rainforest to the dry Sahel in Africa-that had been protected from human influence. They counted every tree in every photo to assess the current tree coverage in natural environments. The researchers combined that information with data about the climate, temperature and soil conditions for each ecosystem. Then they taught their program to put it all together to determine how much tree coverage a particular area could support.

The result shows trees currently cover 2.8 billion hectares of land- but they have the potential to populate as much as 4.4 billion hectares. Right now, much of the additional 1.6 billion hectares is being used for agriculture or urban spaces. The researchers took those areas off the table and saw that the earth still has 900 million hectares ready and waiting to be restored with trees an area roughly the size of Brazil. When those trees mature, they could remove 205 gigatonnes (兆吨) of carbon from the atmosphere, the study calculated, That represents about two-thirds of the roughly 300 gigatonnes of atmospheric carbon that can be traced to human actions, they said.

Even if trees are planted in the most mindful way, other actions are still needed to fight climate change, Bastin said.

1.Why did Bastin develop a computer program?

A.To reduce air pollution in Africa.

B.To determine carbon dioxide in the air.

C.To assess the potential forested land.

D.To calculate the area of forest in the world.

2.What does the underlined phrase “combed through” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Looked into. B.Put away.

C.Brought back. D.Took in.

3.What can we infer from what Basin said in the last paragraph?

A.Brazil has large areas to plant trees.

B.The tree cover is not enough to control greenhouse gases.

C.Trees removed two-thirds of carbon in the atmosphere.

D.Other actions are equally important compared to planting trees.

4.What is the author’s attitude towards the research result?

A.Disapproving. B.Doubtful.

C.Supportive. D.Objective.

Ways to save time

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.

1.But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.

★Get Out of Bed Earlier.

If you normally get up at 7:30 a.m. try getting up at 7:00 a.m. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you've been meaning to finish.2.

★Do the Important Tasks First.

Once you get to work, get the important ones done first (not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). 3.If you work like this, you’ll usually save time. The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won't miss the important ones.

★Reduce Interruptions.

If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter.4.

★5.

A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.

A. Stay Focused on Your Work.

B. Take Breaks When Necessary.

C. Would you want me to make your day longer?

D. I can’t magically make all your days 25 hours long.

E. Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

F. Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time, they also break your concentration.

G. You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.
