三、阅读理解（共20小题，计30分）根据短文内容选择正确答案。

A

There is a lake near a forest in Sweden. The water in the lake is very clear and everything is quiet and still. On the far side of the water is some farmland and further away, across the field ,is an old church built on a hill. It is spring time and it has just stopped raining. The stream flowing into the lake is full and there is still some half-melted snow from last winter on the ground.

The reason why the water is so clear, and everything is So quiet and still, is that most of the plant and animal life in and around the lake is dead. There are no birds because all the fish and insects(昆虫) ,which the birds need for food, have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark, and are sick and dying. Others were blown down by the high winds of last winter. A farmer is working in a field planting wheat, but unless he plants a stronger kind of seed this year, the crop will be between 25 to 40 percent lower than a few years ago. The stone of the old church is turning to powder and unless the tower is repaired soon, it will fall down.

All the death and destruction in this place is due to (由于)pollution. Pollution from smoke coming out of factory chimney and fumes(烟)coming out of the exhausts(排气)of cars and trucks. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometres away from the nearest factory and motor way.

( ) 36. In which country is the lake?

A. America.

B. Canada.

C. Australia.

D. Sweden.

( ) 37. What time of the year do you think it is?

A. Winter.

B. Summer.

C. Spring.

D. Autumn.

( ) 38. The lake is silent because ___________.

A. people seldom go there

B. people around the lake are dead

C. most of the plant and animal life in or around the lake is dead

D. it is winter time

( ) 39. Why are there no animals or birds in or around the lake?
