A. man did know　 B. man know　

C. didn't man know　 D. did man know

答案D. 看到Not until…的句型，我們知道為一倒裝句，答案在C，D 中選一個。改寫為正常語序為，Man did not know what heat is until the early years of the 19th. 現在將not提前，后面就不能再用否定了,否則意思就變了。 典型例題

A. the game began　　 　　　 B. has the game begun

Not only you but also I am fond of music.

三. Reading

Celebrities (Famous people) have joined college students around China in the latest government initiative (倡導) to protect the environment. The Great Wall was the focus of attention, with a clean-up of the surrounding area, and tree planting. The volunteers hope their actions can raise public awareness about environmental protection.

Familiar faces including film star Jackie Chan and TV host Yang Lan from Hong Kong were at the Great Wall. Over 200 college students joined them. They’re all volunteers for a government sponsored (主辦) environmental protection program.

A latest government report warns, china’s fragile (易脆的) environment and limited resources could hardly support economic development in the next five to ten years. However, Chinese citizens have long neglected environmental protection. Organizers hope these young people will influence people around.

Pan Yue, vice minister of State Environmental Protection Administration (環保局)，said, “The government can only make policy. But environmental protection also depends on public participation (參與). Public figures, ordinary people and the government should all join hands.”

Around the country, over 10,000 college students joined their peers in Beijing ---- planting trees, raising awareness about water conservation and cleaning rubbish from rivers.

B

As a result of pollution, Lake Eric, on the borders of the U.S.A. and Canada, is now without many living things.

Pollution in water is not simply a matter of “poisons” killing large numbers of fish overnight. Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed for many months or years because the first organisms（生物體）to be affected are either plants or plankton(浮游生物). These organisms are the food of fish, birds, and other creatures. When this food disappears, the fish and the birds die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it is not until dead fish and water birds are seen at the river’s edge or on the sea shore that people realize what is happening.

Where do the substances which pollute the water come from? There are two main sources, swage(污水) and industrial waste. As more detergent(洗滌劑) is used in the homes, so more of it is finally put into our rivers, lakes and seas. Detergents harm water birds, breaking down the natural substances which keep their feathers waterproof. Sewage itself, if not properly treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need. Industrial waste is even more harmful since there are many highly poisonous materials in it, such as copper and lead.

So, if we want to stop this pollution, the answer is simple. Sewage and industrial waste must be made clean before flowing into the water reservoirs. It may already be too late to save some rivers and lakes, but others can still be saved if the correct action is taken at once.

46. Pollution in water is noticed________.

A. when the first organisms are affected

B. when a great many fish and birds die

C when poisons are poured into water

D. as soon as the balance of nature is destroyed

47. The living things die because there is no ______ in the lake or river.

A. oxygen B. poison C. water D. fish

48. What is the meaning of “waterproof”, the underlined word in the third paragraph?

A. full of water B. covered with water

C. not allowing water to go through D. cleaned by water

49. The way to stop water pollution is _____.

A. to put oxygen into the river

B. to realize the serious situation clearly

C. to make special room in the sea for our waste

D. to make the waste materials harmless

50. Which of the following statements is right?

A. There are many poisonous materials in industrial waste.

B. Sewage is good to fish.

C. Pollution in water does no harm to fish.

D. Birds don’t eat organisms.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Yesterday our teacher of English asked me to say something about pollution. Now I give you my views on this vital question.

As a matter of fact, the effects of industrial pollution are well known to everyone: polluted water, polluted earth. Though a great deal is already being done to control these effects, the problem of pollution is still serious. Continued population increase, smog and chemical waste produced by factories and cars, not only threatens to exhaust our resources, but also pollutes our environment. We do need fresh air, clean water and our children’s health.

In my opinion, to solve the problem of pollution, everyone must refrain from polluting our environment. We should know that of this is the duty of every individual, not that of the government alone.
