Each year, about 7 million tons of trash (垃圾)...

Each year, about 7 million tons of trash (垃圾) is found in the ocean. This trash consists of cigarette ends, medical waste, plastic, mile-long nets, etc... Those items of trash choke (窒息) many species of ocean life so quickly that they eventually become extinct. Ocean pollution harms the earth and animals, and we should stop the problem.

Some other causes of ocean pollution are waste, poisonous chemicals, and the biggest cause is littering (乱丢垃圾). How do these items end up in the ocean? Waste flows through rivers and drains (下水道) directly to the ocean, so ocean pollution continues to step up. The estimated amount of ocean pollution that floated in the sea in 2012 was 288 million tons. This huge number continues to increase by 4% each year. That means 11, 520, 000 tons of trash increase each year. Imagine the future of our ocean. Will there be any room to swim? Also 80% of the ocean is composed of plastic: plastic bottles, plastic bags, and some plastic toys.

How can ocean pollution be solved? Use fabric bags instead of plastic bags. This would reduce the plastic pollution in the ocean. Also for the waste water problem, we could use waste water treatment system. Lastly using renewable energy sources such as wind power or solar power would limit offshore drilling.

If we don’t stop the causes of ocean pollution, water temperatures will continue to rise and ocean life will become endangered. Please be mindful that what we do affects the people around us, the animals around us, and the habitats around us. So will you pay attention to this problem or wait for the next generation to?

Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas. Americans won’t live without cars!

Most Americans　 would　 find　 it　 hard　 to　 think　 what　 life　 would　 look　 like　 without　 cars. However, some have realized the serious problems of the air pollution that is caused by the car.

The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.

One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute. That’s what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.

Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.

To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.

But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.

Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.

1.How many ways to get rid of air pollution are suggested in this article by the writer?

A. Four.　　 B. Three.

C. Two.　　 D. One.

2.If the number of cars is cut down, the most serious problem to American workers is_______.

A. to have no work to do　　 B. to keep the air clean

C. to get a better life　　 D. to go to work by bike

3.What is the conclusion(结论) of the writer?

A. Bicycling is the only way out.

B. The number of cars must be cut down.

C. Cars bring us nothing but serious problems.

D. Cars bring us not only a better life but serious problems.

4.To reduce pollution, we’ll have to　 make some　 changes in the　 way many of us live, EXCEPT that　　 ______.

A. Americans have to cut down on the number of their total cars.

B. People are encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle.

C. The number of cars on the roads should be limited every day.

D. People should build more roads and fill cars and trucks with gas.
