參考譯文
污染是一個“骯臟”的詞語。污染就是弄臟——表土或什么東西，通過引進(jìn)雜質(zhì)使其不健康或不潔。污染可以有很多形式。我們可以看見它，聞到它，嘗到它，喝到它，從它中間掙扎走過。我們簡直生活在污染中，呼吸著它，毫不奇怪，它開始威脅我們的健康、我們的幸福和我們的文明。
我們曾經(jīng)把污染只是想成煙霧——盤旋在城市上空的那種嗆人、刺鼻、骯臟的空氣。但是空氣污染雖然是最為危險的，但也只是幾種攻擊最基本生活功能的污染之一。
通過不加控制地使用殺蟲劑。人類已經(jīng)污染了土地，殺死了野生動物。通過將污水和化學(xué)物質(zhì)傾倒進(jìn)河流和湖泊，我們已經(jīng)污染了我們的飲用水。我們也正在污染海洋，殺死魚類，因而剝奪了我們那無價的食物供應(yīng)。
人口的爆炸也是引起污染的原因之一。越來越多的人正在制造越來越多的垃圾。但是，這一問題被我們的“一次性”技術(shù)加劇了。每年美國人都要扔掉700萬輛汽車、2，000萬噸廢紙、2，500萬磅牙膏皮和4，800萬個罐子。我們還扔掉口香糖包裝紙、報紙和紙盤。再次利用已經(jīng)不再明智了。今天。幾乎所有東西都可以扔掉。比起修一臺烤箱或收音機，買一臺新的'、扔掉舊的更容易、更便宜，雖然它95%的部件仍可以使用。嬰兒尿布以前用循環(huán)使用的布制成，現(xiàn)在都變成紙質(zhì)的一次性產(chǎn)品了。不久我們就會穿上紙質(zhì)的衣服：“穿一次就扔掉”將成為流行意識的口號。
所有這些到什么時候才能結(jié)束?我們是不是正在把世界變成一個巨大的垃圾場，或者我們還有沒有希望解決污染問題?幸運的是，已經(jīng)有了解決問題的辦法，有幾種辦法還十分具有獨創(chuàng)性。
答案及解析
31.it 【解析】本句意為‘污染’意思是弄臟——表層土或什么東西，通過引進(jìn)雜質(zhì)，這使…不健康或不干凈�！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)指topsoil or something，因為前面已出現(xiàn)，所以用it來代替。
32.taste 【解析】本句意為“我們看得見它，聞得見它，…它，喝它，而且在它中間掙扎�！庇沙ＷR可知，此空處只有一個“嘗”較合適。
33.not 【解析】此空前半句意為“我們真地生活在污染中，呼吸著它”，而后半句意為“它開始…我們的健康、幸福和文明�！憋@然，這是因果關(guān)系，故中間的surprisingly前只能加個否定詞not。
34.threaten 【解析】由33題解析可以知道此空一定為“威脅”之意。
35.as 【解析】think of sth.as sth.為固定短語，意為“把某物想成某物”。
36.air 【解析】由前面的smog可知，此空處應(yīng)填與smog相應(yīng)的物質(zhì)，又由后面的“hovers over cities”可知，此物質(zhì)只能是“臟空氣”。
37.still 【解析】本句意為“但是空氣污染，盡管它…是最危險的，但也只是幾種攻擊最基本生活功能的污染方式之一�！憋@然，可知此空應(yīng)填“仍然”。
38.which 【解析】由37題解析可知此空應(yīng)為一個引導(dǎo)定語從句的詞，即which，其后的定語修飾“several(types of contamination)”。
39.killin9 【解析】本句意為“通過無控制地使用殺蟲劑，人類已經(jīng)污染了土地，…野生動物�！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)填“殺害”，但不能填kill，因為英語中無連詞時不可能有兩個謂語，故應(yīng)填killing，killing the wildlife是現(xiàn)在分詞做伴隨狀語。
40.dumping 【解析】由本句句意“通過將污水和化學(xué)物質(zhì)…入河流和湖泊，…”可知，此空處顯然應(yīng)為“倒”。又因為介詞后只能用dumping，而不能用dump。
41.drinking 【解析】由本句句意“通過將污水和化學(xué)物質(zhì)倒入河流和湖泊，我們已經(jīng)污染了我們的…水�！憋@然，此空處應(yīng)為“飲用”。
42.thereby 【解析】本句句意為“我們也正在污染海洋，殺死了魚類，…剝奪了我們那無價的食物供應(yīng)�！憋@然，此空前后為因果關(guān)系，而且depriving前不能用so或其他表因果關(guān)系的連詞，而只能用介詞thereby。
43.of 【解析】deprive sb.of sth.為固定短語，意為“剝奪某人的某東西(或某權(quán)利)”。
44.population 【解析】由下一句“越來越多的人正在制造更多的垃圾�！笨芍�，此處應(yīng)指“膨脹的人口”，即exploding population。
45.dispose 【解析】由前一句“但是這個問題因為我們的“一次性”技術(shù)而加劇了�！笨芍�，此處應(yīng)為“丟掉，扔掉”之意，即dispose of。
46.reuse 【解析】由后一句“今天幾乎每件東西都可以被扔掉�！笨芍�，“…任何東西不再明智了�！敝械目仗帒�(yīng)為“再利用”，這樣前后兩句邏輯上才能合理。
47.Instead 【解析】由本句句意“…修一臺烤箱或一臺收音機，買一臺新的、扔掉舊的更容易、更便宜…”可知，肯定是“不修”，又因為有介詞of，所以應(yīng)填instead。instead of意為“不做某事”，是固定短語。
48.though 【解析】參見47題解析，由本句句意“…更便宜，…它的95%的部件仍可以使用�！笨芍�，此空處應(yīng)填“盡管，即使”，即even though。
49.paper 【解析】由前一句“...are now paper throwaways.”可知，“不久以后我們將穿由紙制作的衣服�！�
50.Fortunately 【解析】由本句句意“…可以看到有解決辦法的希望了�！笨芍�，此空應(yīng)填“幸運的是”。

上半年公共英語三級考試閱讀練習(xí)題 3
Americans are getting ready for the biggest soccer event in the world. For the first time the world cup soccer competition will be held in the United States. While millions play the game around the world, soccer or football has only recently become popular here. It is only in the last 30 years that large numbers of young Americans became interested in soccer. Now it is the fastest growing sport in the country. A recent study found that almost 18 million young boys and girls play soccer in the United States.
The study also found that soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as the most popular sport among students. And so, when the world cup begins next week, more than one million Americans are expected to go and see the teams play. Organizers say this years world cup will be the biggest ever. All the seats at most of the 52 games have already been sold.
Soccer has been played in the United States for a little more than one hundred years. But how did the sport come to this country? And how long has it existed in other parts of the world? No one knows exactly where the idea for soccer came from, or when people began playing the game. Some scientists say there is evidence that ball games using the feet were played thousands of years ago. There is evidence that ancient Greeks and Romans and native American Indians all played games similar to soccer.
Most experts agree that Britain is the birthplace of modem soccer. They also agree that the British spread the game around the world. Unlike the game today, which uses balls of man-made material or leather, early soccer balls were often made of animal stomachs. The rules of early soccer games also differed from those we have today.
1.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?
[A] Americans were preparing for the world cup when the author wrote this article.
[B] More younger Americans became interested in soccer in the last 30 years.
[C] Soccer is the fastest developing sport in the world.
[D] The article was written before the world cup held in the United States.
2.Which was the most popular sport as a traditional game among students?
[A] Basketball.
[B] American football.
[C] Soccer.
[D] Tennis.
3.For how long has soccer been played in the United States?
[A] About a hundred years.
[B] About fifty years.
[C] Only recently.
[D] About thirty years.
4.Who invented the modem soccer game?
[A] American Indians. [B] British. [C] Geeks [D] Romans.
5.What is the author going to state in the next paragraph?
[A] There have been attempts to start a professional soccer organization in the U. S.
[B] In the 12th century soccer games in Britain often involved whole towns.
[C] Professional soccer grew quickly in Europe.
[D] Experts believed that the United States would win.
參考譯文
美國準(zhǔn)備著迎接世界上最大的足球盛宴，他們有史以來第一次承辦了世界杯。當(dāng)全世界有數(shù)以百萬計的人在踢足球時，這項運動在關(guān)國才剛剛火熱起來。大批美國青年人對足球感興趣還是最近30年的事。但現(xiàn)在它是美國發(fā)展最快的運動。一項最近的調(diào)查顯示大約有一千八百萬的美國青年男女踢足球。
這項調(diào)查同樣表明，足球已經(jīng)開始代替更多的傳統(tǒng)運動，比如橄欖球，成為學(xué)生當(dāng)中最流行的'運動。因此，世界杯下周開賽時預(yù)計去看球的美國人超過一百萬。主辦方聲稱這一屆的世界杯會成為歷史上最盛大的一屆。52場比賽中大部分場次的座位已全部售完。
足球在美國僅僅有一百多年的歷史，但這項運動是怎樣流傳到這個國家的?足球在世界其他地方存在多久了?沒有人確切地知道足球是從哪里起源或是人們從什么時候開始踢足球。某些科學(xué)家表示，有證據(jù)證明用腳玩的球類運動幾千年前就有了�，F(xiàn)在也有證據(jù)顯示古希臘、古羅馬和美國土著印第安人玩類似于足球的運動。
大部分專家都承認(rèn)英國是現(xiàn)代足球的發(fā)源地，他們同樣也認(rèn)為英國把足球傳播到了世界各地。不同的是，現(xiàn)在比賽中用的足球是人造材料或是皮革質(zhì)地，而過去使用的球常常是用動物的胃做的。早期足球比賽的規(guī)則也與現(xiàn)在有所不同。
答案及解析
26.C【解析】是非題。見文中第一段第五旬提到，足球在美國是發(fā)展最快的運動，但沒有說在世界范圍內(nèi)是發(fā)展最快的運動。故選C.
27.B 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。見第二段第一句，"...soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as the most popular sport among students."可知"American football"是在青少年中最為流行的傳統(tǒng)運動。故選B.
28.A【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。見第三段第一句話。
29.B【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。見最后一段第一句，英國是現(xiàn)代足球的發(fā)明者。
30.B【精析】推理題。文中最后一段講述了英國足球是現(xiàn)代足球的發(fā)明國，接下來就應(yīng)該介紹一下足球在英國的發(fā)展才符合邏輯。故選B.
