2006年江苏成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案
2006年江苏成人学士学位英语考试真题及答案FOR A BACHELOR’S DEGREE(Nov. 2006)Paper OnePart I Listening Comprehension (15 minutes 15%)Part II Reading Comprehension (30 minutes 30%)Directions: In this part there are four reading passages. Each passage is followedby some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A, B, C and D. You are required to choose the best answer from the four choices.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line throughthe center.Questions 16--20 are based on the following passage.The exact number of English words is not known. The large dictionaries have overhalf a million entries, but many of these are compound words (schoolroom, sugar bowl)or different derivatives of the same word (rare--rarely, rarefy), and a good manyare obsolete words to help us read older literature. Dictionaries do not attemptto cover completely words that we can draw on: the informal vocabulary, especiallyslang, localism, the terms of various occupations and professions; words used only occasionally by scientists and specialists in many fields; foreign words borrowedfor use in English; or many new words or new senses of words that come into use everyyear and that may or may not be used long enough to warrant being included. (86)It would be conservative to say that there are over a million English words thatany of us might meet in our listening and reading and that we may draw on in ourspeaking and writing.Professor Seashore concluded that first-graders enter school with at least24,000words and add 5,000 each year so that they leave high school with at least80,000.These figures are for recognition vocabulary, the words we understand when we reador hear them. Our active vocabulary, the words we use in speaking and writing , is considerably smaller.You cannot always produce a word exactly when you want it. But consciously usingthe words you recognize in reading will help get them into your active vocabulary.(87) Occasionally in your reading pay particular attention to these words,especially when the subject is one that you might well write or talk about. Underlineor make a list of words that you feel a need for and look up the less familiar onesin a dictionary. And then before very long find a way to use some of them. Once youknow how they are pronounced and what they stand for, you can safely use them.16. According to the author's estimation, there are words in English.A. more than half a millionB. at least 24,000C. at least 80,000D. more than amillion17. The italicized word "obsolete" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning toA. no longer in useB. profoundC. colorfulD. common18. One's recognition vocabulary is ．A. less often used than his active vocabularyB. smaller than his active vocabularyC. as large as his active vocabularyD. much larger than his active vocabulary19. The author does not suggest getting recognition vocabulary into active vocabulary by .A. making a list of words you need end looking up the new ones in a dictionaryB. spending half an hour studying the dictionaryC. consciously using the words you recognize in readingD. trying to use the words you recognize20. From the passage we team that ．A. dictionaries completely cover the words we can make use ofB. "schoolroom" is used in the passage as an example of a specialized termC. once you know how a word is pronounced and what it represents, you have turned it into your active wordD. active vocabulary refers to words we understand when we read and hear them Questions 21--25 are based on the following passageA third of Britons are overweight, states a report published in January by the Royal College of Physicians, the result of an 18-month-long study. About five percent of children weigh too much, and are likely to stay that way for life; in the mid-twenties age group the proportion of fat people rises to a third, and of the middle-aged population half ere overweight.Fat people risk severe health problems, says the report, including high blood pressure, breathlessness, and various forms of heart disease. Smoking is particularly risky for overweight people.The safest way to lose weight is to eat cereals, bread, fruit and vegetables, and cut down on fatty meats, butter and sweet foods. Fad diets do far more harm than good; slimming machines that vibrate muscles have not been proved useful; saunas （桑拿浴）merely remove a little body water, and health farms, says the report, serve as expensive holidays.（88）Exercise is most important to health, the report emphasized; though it doesn't necessarily reduce weight, it maintains the correct proportion of body fat to body muscle. And it isn't only for the young; from middle age a minimum of 20minutes of general physical jerks should be practiced three times a week..The report advocates several public health measures to combat the high prevalence of overweight in this country. They include an increase of tax on alcohol to reduce its increasing, and dangerously fattening, consumption; and the provision of more sports facilities by local authorities. Britain's doctors, the report concludes, must learn to be more sympathetic and specific in their advice to the overweight, encouraging a change in eating habits on a long-term basis, and taking into account the many ---often complex--reasons why fat people are fat.21．The passage mainly talks about ．A. the cause of Britons' overweightB. how to avoid getting overweightC. Britons' overweight problemD. the relations between overweight and health problems22. According to the report, a person is most likely to stay fat for the whole of his life if he .A. gets fat in the twentiesB. gets fat in his middle ageC. is born fatD. gets fat when he is child23．The report suggests that exercise ．A. is a way to reduce weightB. sometimes increase weightC. is a sure way to keep one healthyD. can convert fat to muscle24．The report points out that drinking too much alcohol ．A .will also cause one to get fatB .will cause one to do less sportsC. will make one forget the fact that he is fatD. will lead one to bad eating habits25．Britain's doctors, when treating the overweight, should ．A. encourage a long-term diet for everyoneB .be more considerate and give detailed adviceC. first consider why so many people are fatD. do all of the aboveQuestions 26--30 are based on the following passage.One of the most important ways an individual can reduce pollution is by conserving energy. Conserving energy reduces the air pollution created by power plants. Driving less is one of the best ways to save energy and avoid polluting the air. People can save electricity by buying more efficient light bulbs and home appliances. People can also conserve by using appliances less often.People can also buy products that are safe for the environment. For example, households can help reduce water pollution by using fewer toxic cleaning products. If consumers refuse to purchase harmful products, manufacturers will stop making them.People can also help reduce pollution by eating less meat. Farmers use large quantities of fertilizer and pesticides to raise the production of grain on which cattle, hogs, and poultry feed. Farmers would use much less fertilizers and pesticides if people chose to eat less meat and more grains, beans and vegetables. If consumers would accept produce with slight blemishes or imperfections, farmers could reduce their use of chemicals.One of the simplest ways individuals can prevent pollution is by reusing products. For example, some milk suppliers use glass bottles instead of paper cartons. The bottles may be refilled and used again. People can reuse old paper or plastic bags to carry groceries or to hold garbage．When people reuse products, they avoid both the pollution associated with the creation of a new product and the pollution caused when the product is thrown out.(89) The most important way people can fight pollution is to learn as much as possible about how their actions affect the environment Then they can make intelligent choices that will reduce damage to the planet.26. There are several ways, listed in the passage, for individuals to conserve energy except .A. driving lessB. using more efficient light bulbs and home appliancesC. using appliances less oftenD. using less fertilizer and pesticides27. The most important way for individuals to reduce pollution is .A. .saving energy B .eating less meatC. using paper bagsD. closing all the power plants28. Learning much about how their actions affect the environment can help people fight pollution because they ．A. can make intelligent choices to reduce damage to the environmentB．can choose to buy products that are safe for the environmentC. can choose to eat less meat and more grains, beans, and vegetablesD. would accept produce with slight blemishes or imperfections29. One of the simplest ways to prevent pollution is ．A. driving lessB. reusing productsC. conserving energyD. buying more efficient bulbs30. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The Most Important Ways to Reduce PollutionB. The Best Ways to Converse EnergyC. The Simplest Ways to Control PollutionD. Individual Efforts on Controlling PollutionQuestions 31--35 are based on the following passage.The scope of mankind's activities has experienced expansion from land to ocean, from ocean to atmosphere, and from atmosphere to outer space. Space technology, which emerged in the 1950s, opened up a new era of man's exploration of outer space.(90) Having developed rapidly for about half a century, mankind’s space activities have scored remarkable achievements, greatly promoted the development of social productivity and progress, and produced profound and far-reaching effects. Space technology has turned out to be one field of high technology that exerts the most profound influence on modern society. The continuous development and application of space technology has become an important endeavor in the modernization drive of countries all over the world.The Chinese nation created a glorious civilization in the early stage of mankind's history. The gunpowder "rocket" invented by ancient Chinese was the embryo of modern space rockets. After the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, China carried out space activities on its own, and succeeded in developing and launching its first man-made satellite in 1970. China has made eye-catching achievements, and now ranks among the world's most advanced countries in some important fields of space technology.

2014年成人英语阅读理解练习及答案(八)
2014年成人英语阅读理解练习及答案八Water problem in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wasters, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decrease substantially the amount of water available for building wasters. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce larger volume of liquid wasters, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals. From this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wasters “prior to” disposal and the treatment of liquid wasters, or effluents, to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal.A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Effluents from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts. Other industries are exploring potential; economic uses for their waste products.1.The purpose of this passage is _____.A.to acquaint the reader with water pollution problemsB.to alert the reader the dwindling water supplyC.to explain industrial uses of waterD.to demonstrate various uses of water2.Which of the following points is NOT included in the passage?A.Expanding industries need larger volume of water.B. Demands for water will go up along with the expanding population.C. Intensive cultivation of land requires more and more chemicals.D.Industrial development includes the simplification of complex chemical processing.3.The word “prior to”in Paragraph 2 probably mean____.A. duringB. afterC. beforeD. beyond4.The reader can conclude that_____.A.Countries of the world will work together on pollution problems.B. Some industries are now making economic use of wastesC. Byproducts from wastes lead to a more prosperous marketplaceD.Science is making great progress on increasing water supplies5.The author gives substance to the passage through the use of ____.A.interviews with authorities in the field of water controlsB. definitions which clarify important termsC. opinions and personal observationsD.strong arguments and persuasions内容提示与分析：这是一篇介绍水污染以及水污染解决办法的文章。

The phrase “to come up with” (Paragraph 1) means “________”.A. to replaceB. to purchaseC. to produceD. to ban17.

Kariwala is probably ________.A. a new material for making bagsB. a manufacturer of bagsC. the name of a bag store.D. an advertising agency19. By “revolution” (Paragraph 5), the author probably refers to the _______.A. great reduction of white pollutionB. a brand new style of bag designC. a new way to promote cotton bagsD. widespread use of eco-friendly bags20. The primary purpose of the author is to .A. promote Kariwala cotton bagsB. advocate the advantages of cotton bagsC. highlight the importance of bag designsD. persuade people to follow the fashionPassage TwoA review of more than 160 studies of human subjects has found “clear and compelling evidence”that---all else being equal ---happy people tend to live longer and experience better health than their unhappy peers.The study is the most comprehensive review so far of the evidence linking happiness to health. Its lead author ED Diener analyzed long-term studies of human subjects, experimental human trials, and studies that evaluate the health status of people stressed by natural events.“We reviewed eight different types of studies,”Diener said. “And the general conclusion from each type of study is that your subjective well-being---that is, feeling positive about your life, not stressed out, not depressed---contributes to both long life and better health among healthy populations.”A study that followed nearly 5,000 university students for more than 40 years, for example, found that those who were most pessimistic as students tended to die younger than their peers. An even longer-term study that followed 180 Catholic nuns from early adulthood to old age found that those who wrote positive accounts of their lives in their early 20s tended to live longer than those who wrote more negative ones.There were a few exceptions, but most of long-term studies the researchers reviewed found that anxiety, depression, a lack of enjoyment of daily activities and pessimism are all associated with higher rates of disease and a shorter life.While happiness might not by itself prevent or cure disease, posive emotions and enjoyment of life do contribute to better health and a longer life, Diener said.“Happiness is no magic bullet,”he said. “But the evidence is clear and compelling that it changes your chances of getting disease or dying young.”21. The word “compelling” (Paragraph 1) means “_______”.A. directB. convincingC. adequateD. conclusive22. According to Paragraph 2, Ed Diener .A. studied the health conditions of the subjectsB. conducted experimental human trialsC. made long-term studies of human subjectsD. review other researchers’ studies23. According to the studies on university students and Catholic nuns, who are more likely to livelonger?A. Well-educated people.B. Optimistic people.C. Open-minded people.D. Religious people.24. What is NOT mentioned as relevant to a shorter life?A. Depression and anxiety.B. Lack of enjoyment.C. Constant lack of sleep.D. Stress and pessimism.25.By saying that “Happi ness is no magic bullet”(Paragraph 7), Diener means thathappiness .A. is not ever lastingB. is not easy to obtainC. is not a good treatment of diseasesD. is not a guarantee of health and long life Passage ThreeCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries the body’s blood has been linked closely with emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold blooded.Cold-blooded people act in cruel ways. They may do brutal things to others and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone not in self-defense or because he was reacting to anger or fear. He seemed to kill for no reason and with no emotion as if taking someone’s life meant nothing.Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet if your feet are really cold. But there is a n expression “to get cold feet” that has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agreed to be president of an organization, but then you learned that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone else. Someone who is a cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone else. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted menor cold-hearted women who without feeling broke the hearts of their lovers.“Out in the cold” means not getting something that everybody else has got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise that he was left out in the cold and it is not a pleasant place to be in.26. The focus of the passage is .A. the meanings of expressions with “cold”B. the influence of cold weather on our mind and bodyC. why people are unhappy with cold weatherD. how some people become cold blooded27. A cold-blooded killer may take the life of another person .A. by accidentB. for no reasonC. out of fearD. in self-defense28. If a person “gets cold feet”, he or she may fe el a little .A. angryB. puzzledC. disappointedD. frightened29. A cold fish is a person who _______.A. is indifferent to others’ sufferingsB. tends to turn down others’ helpC. remains cool in emergencyD. prefers to stay all alone30. Which of the following expressions may mean “unlucky”?A. Cold face.B. Cold feet.C. Cold heart.D. Out in the cold.Passage FourThe New York Times has reported on a problem that many of us have but are not aware of—Internet addiction. According to reporter Tara Parker-Pope, millions of us are addicted to being online. She says this is a growing problem that is making us more forgetful and impatient. Ms Parker-Pope writes about various reports highlighting how technology is changing people. In one, she quotes cyber-psychologist Dr. Elias Aboujaode who says: “More and more, life is resembling the chat room.”He said we are living in “virtual lifestyles”, which is negatively affecting our real-life relationships. Nicki Dowling, a clinical psychologist from Melbourne University in Australia, concluded in a recent study that ten per cent of young people had what she called “Internet dependence”.Tara Parker-Pope quizzed experts in this field on what the signs of being overly absorbed in technol ogy are. She came up with seven signs of “tech overload”. The first is whether you check your e-mail before doing other things. Another sign is if you always look forward to your next online visit — a sure sign of dependence and addiction. The third point is if you say, “just a few more minutes” when someone wants you. Parker-Pope found one’s communication with others also says a lot about how important the Internet is compared with family and friends; do you lie about how much time you spend online or choose to surf the Internet instead of going out withothers? Other indicators include the “online lift”that stops you being unhappy, and others’complaints about you always being online.31. Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A. Internet AddictionB. Virtual LifestylesC. Indicators of Net DependenceD. Importance of the Internet32. According to T ara Parker-Pope, millions of people .A. have realized the problem of Internet addictionB. cannot get rid of their habit of staying onlineC. have become more patient and careful onlineD. welcome the changes brought about by technology33. What does Dr. Elias Aboujaode think of the virtual lifestyles that we are living in?A. They make people eager to talk to each other.B. They make people more dependent on the Internet.C. They have a negative effect on real-life relationships.D. They get more people interested in online studies.34. Which of the following is NOT a sign of Internet addiction?A. Checking e-mail before doing anything else.B. Expecting all the time the next online visit.C. Surfing the Net instead of going out with others.D. Arriving late for important appointments.35. What does “tech overload” (Paragraph 2) mean in the passage?A. Over-absorption in the Internet.B. Over-dependence on e-mail.C. Over-interest in technology.D. Over-interaction with friends.PART III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions : There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

2019年成人英语三级考试阅读理解习题讲解9
2019年成人英语三级考试阅读理解习题讲解9America is in no immediate danger of "running out of water". People in the West have been aware that water is a precious commodity and must be conserved. In the damp East,an excess of water led to complacency until two factorscreated concern over our water supply. First, the periods of drought from the 1961 to 1966 in the Northeast affected crop production and used up the surface and ground water supplies. Second, attention was called to rapid increases in the ratesof pollution of these waters resulting from increased urban and industrial growth. As a result, there is an increasing awareness of the need for conserving the quantity and quality of our nation's water supplies.Water is a renewable resource, but it is not exhaustible. When used for municipal, industrial, or agricultural purposes, it is not destroyed, but generally finds its way back intoour water supply. This used water now carries some waste materials. These dirty waters are often dumped into large bodies of water or are disposed of on land. In the latter instance, evaporation concentrates some of the wastes on the soil surface. On the other hand, water moving through thesoil will eventually carry some of the wastes down into the ground water supplies, Eventually, all water evaporates and later returns to the earth as rain or snow in a relatively purer state.Through this never-ending cycle, there is just as much water in this country now as there ever was. The amount, however, does not increase. Our rapid population growth andour agricultural and industrial expansion have caused ourwater needs to soar. By withdrawing water from streams too quickly, we have in some instances upset the balance ofnature's built-in renewal processes for conserving water. As a result, some of our streams and lakes have become "wet deserts." There is still plenty of water in them, but its water is so polluted that it supports almost no life at all.1.The passage is mainly about_____.A. water resources of the United StatesB. the renewal processes of water in matureC. the importance of water conservationD.water pollution in America2. The word "drought" in the sentence "First, the periods of drought---ground water supplies." Most probably means_____.A. catastrophe of too much rainB. danger of running out of waterC. calamity dry weatherD. damage caused by typhoon3. Water is relatively purer in_____.A. fast moving streams and riversB. underground water suppliesC. mountainous areasD. rain and snow4. When the author says that lakes have become "wet deserts",._____A. he is being angryB. he is being optimisticC. he is being sadD. he is being humorous5. It is implied in the passage that______A. water can be polluted by desertsB. there are many water conservation programs in AmericaC. water keeps evaporating from the earth's surfaceD. water is not polluted by waster materials[难点]1.run out of 用完，耗尽modity 商品，货物placency 自满，满足4.drought 长期干旱，旱灾5.result from 是---的结果，因为----而发生6.inexhaustible 用不完的，无穷尽的7.municipal 市政的，市办的8.dispose of 处理，丢掉，清除9.evaporation 蒸发。

成人本科学位英语阅读理解专项强化真题试卷14(题后含答案及解析)
成人本科学位英语阅读理解专项强化真题试卷14(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1.Computer technology is advancing so fast that old hardware quickly becomes completely obsolete. The electronic waste (e-waste) from this constantly growing field is polluting the environment, both here and abroad. Computers contain toxic (有毒的) materials such as lead. Despite the danger of throwing these hazardous materials in a landfill (垃圾填埋场), that’s exactly where tons of computers end up. Americans reuse or recycle only about 10 percent of the 50 million computers they replace each year, according to ABC News. Eighty percent is being stockpiled (囤积), which could create even bigger problems in the future, and the remaining 10 percent is landfilled. Throwing e-waste in landfills creates a potential for toxic waste to leak into our soil and groundwater. Because environmental standards for landfills are tougher in the United States than in many other countries, e-waste is often exported, especially to some developing countries. (80) Some countries are creating policies to deal with the growing e-waste problem. In the Netherlands, you can bring your old computer to the seller when buying a new one, and the seller must by law accept it free of charge. Japan passed a law in 2001 requiring producers to recycle certain parts. In the United States, a movement called the Computer TakeBack Campaign is demanding that producers take more responsibility for disposing of (处理) old computers. California and Massachusetts recently prohibited certain computer parts in landfills, while Apple and IBM take back computers for about a $30 fee. Gateway is one step ahead: They will pay you $50 for recycling your old computer when you buy a new one from them. Lastly, many nonprofit programs accept used equipment, and services have popped up that distribute old computers to schools and other organizations.1．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．The Main Exports of AmericaB．The Computer TakeBack CampaignC．The Harm of E-waste TreatmentD．Electronic Waste—a Global Problem正确答案：B解析：主旨大意题。
有关水污染英语阅读理解 大学
有关水污染英语阅读理解大学题目：Water pollution is now a serious problem in th e world threatening animals and plants as well as h umans. Suggest ONE way to deal with the problem.阅读理解范文：Increase Public Awareness of Water Pollution提高公众对于水污染的意识。
Many developing countries are seeing a rapid ris e in water pollution so severe that densely crowded cities could be left without adequate safe suppli es. As for how to combat water pollution, the most effective way should be by strengthening superviso ry policies.许多发展中国家的水污染问题不断上升，这使得许多拥挤的城市没有足够的水资源。
对于打击水污染问题，最有效的途径就是加强监管政策的力度。
Firstly, supervision promotes public awareness of water conservation and protection. Let us take agr icultural waste-water as an example. Pesticides and chemical fertilizers are the main contaminants in agricultural production. In fact, farmers are les s aware of water conservation compared with more wat er-conscious urban residents. Therefore, education-orie nted supervision should be adopted by the local auth orities. Furthermore, tough measures have to be take n against illegal industrial waste-water discharge. S trict standards must be set.Industries which cannot meet certain criteria need to bear legal liabilit y. The government and the public, especially direct interest groups, need to join up supervisors. Mut ual supervision between enterprises is also worth con sideration under certain circumstances When it comes to domestic sewage, self-supervision and community pu blicity may be the answer. For individuals, self-awar eness is the most important factor in combating wat er pollution, which can be acquired through local an d national advertising campaigns.首先，监管能够增强公共对于节约、保护水资源的意识。

The early trains were impractical curiosities, and for a long time the railroad companies met with troublesome mechanical problems. The most serious ones were the construction of rails able to bear the load, and the development of a safe, effective stopping system. Once these were solved, the railroad was established as the best means of land transportation.By 1860 there were thousands of miles of railroads crossing the eastern mountain ranges and reaching westward to the Mississippi. There were also regional southern and western lines.The high point in railroad building came with the construction of the first transcontinental, system. In 1862 Congress authorized two western railroad companies to build lines from Nebraska westward and from California eastward to a meeting point, so as to complete a transcontinental crossing linking the Atlantic seaboard with the Pacific. The Government helped the railroads generously with money and land.Actural work on this project began four years later. The Central PacificCompany, starting from California, used Chinese labor, while the Union Pacific employed crews of Irish labourers. The two groups worked at remarkable speed, each trying to cover a greater distance than the other. In 1869 they met at a place called Promontory in what is now the state of Utah.Many visitors came there for the great occasion.There were joyous celebrations all over the country, with parades and the ringing of church bells to honor the great achievement.The railroad was very important in encouraging Westward Movement. It also helped build up industry and farming by moving raw materials and by distributing products rapidly to distant markets. In linking towns and people to one another it helped unify the United States.1.The major problems with Americas railroad system in the mid 19th century lay in _______.A. lack of financial support for developmentB. poor quality rails and unreliable stopping systemsC. limited railroad linesD. lack of a transcontinental railroad答案：B2.The building of the first transcontinental system________.A. brought about a rapid growth of industry and farming in the west.B. attracted many visitors to the construction sitesC. attracted labourers from EuropeD. encouraged people to travel all over the country答案：A3.The best title for this passage would be ________.A.

23年成人本科学士学位英语考试真题
23年成人本科学士学位英语考试真题English:In recent years, there has been a growing concern about the impact of human activities on the environment. The world is facing serious environmental problems such as climate change, air pollution, water pollution, deforestation, and loss of biodiversity. These problems not only harm the natural environment but also affect the health and well-being of human beings. Therefore, it is imperative that we take urgent action to reduce our carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, and protect the environment.One of the key solutions to environmental problems is the adoption of sustainable practices. Sustainable practices involve making choices that meet our needs today without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This means using natural resources responsibly, reducing waste, and minimizing pollution. For example, we can reduce our carbon footprint by using public transport, cycling or walking instead of driving, and by using energy-efficient appliances. We can also conserve natural resourcesby using less water, recycling, and minimizing our use of plastic products.Another solution is the implementation of environmental policies and regulations. Governments can enact laws and policies that promote environmental protection, incentivize businesses to adopt sustainable practices, and punish those that violate regulations. Additionally, businesses have a crucial role to play in promoting sustainability. They can develop sustainable products and services, use green technologies and practices, and engage in social responsibility activities that benefit both the environment and society.In conclusion, environmental problems are a global issue that requires urgent action from everyone. By adopting sustainable practices, implementing environmental policies and regulations, and promoting sustainability in business, we can protect the environment for future generations and ensure a sustainable future for all.中文翻译:近年来，人类活动对环境影响的关注日益增长，世界正面临着严重的环境问题，如气候变化、空气污染、水污染、森林砍伐和物种消失。

2018年成人学位英语考试阅读理解题:Water Pollution
Water problem in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wasters, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decrease substantially the amount of water available for building wasters. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce larger volume of liquid wasters, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals. From this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.
There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wasters prior to disposal and the treatment of liquid wasters, or effluents, to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal.
A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used
in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Effluents from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts. Other industries are exploring potential; economic uses for their waste products.
1.The purpose of this passage is _____.
A.to acquaint the reader with water pollution problems
B.to alert the reader the dwindling water supply
C.to explain industrial uses of water
D.to demonstrate various uses of water
2.Which of the following points is NOT included in the passage?
A.Expanding industries need larger volume of water.
B. Demands for water will go up along with the expanding population.
C. Intensive cultivation of land requires more and more chemicals.
D.Industrial development includes the simplification of complex chemical processing.
3.The word prior to in Paragraph 2 probably mean____.
A. during
B. after
C. before
D. beyond
4.The reader can conclude that_____.
A.Countries of the world will work together on pollution problems.
B. Some industries are now making economic use of wastes
C. Byproducts from wastes lead to a more prosperous marketplace
D.Science is making great progress on increasing water supplies
5.The author gives substance to the passage through the use of ____.
A.interviews with authorities in the field of water controls
B. definitions which clarify important terms
C. opinions and personal observations
D.strong arguments and persuasions
2018年成人学位英语考试阅读理解题参考答案及解析：
1.A
分析：这篇文章主要介绍污水的现状以及治理方法。
A包含这层意思;B警告读者要缩减水的供应，原文没有这个意思;C解释水在工业上的应用，太片面;D 演示水的不同用法，文中只是介绍污水的使用。
故答案为A.
2.D
分析：原文中Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce larger volume of liquid wasters,刚好与答案D的论述相反，所以文章一定没有包含
D这个选项的内容。
其他选项在文章中都可以找到。
故答案为D。
3.C
分析：按照常理推断，处理污水应该先过滤掉固体物质，然后再对剩下的液体进行处理，所以prior to一定是在之前的意思，另外，在文章的第二段的末尾有minimize pollution upon final disposal,与前面的disposal相对应，应该可以分析出，这个disposal 是final的，所以prior to是在之前的意思。
故答案为C。
4.B
分析：这几个选项说得都没有错，但是能够从文章中推断出来的只有B。
A文章没有提及国家间的合作;C文章指说明副产品可以进入市场，但是不一定会带来市场的繁荣;D文章关于水供给的论述几乎没有，故答案为B。
5.C
分析：从全文来看，作者只是在表达个人的观点以及陈述个人观察的结果，并没有采访专家;也不是在争论驳斥，劝服他人;更不是在界定一个重要的术语，故答案为C。
