同时这种方法还可以减少堆积在地球上的垃圾数量。)”因此焚烧垃圾可以解决两个问题:能源短缺,节省土地。
2.【解析】A。文章第四段谈到:焚烧垃圾产生的热可以使水沸腾,产生的蒸汽可以发电,也可以给大楼供热,但是没有谈到焚烧的垃圾会变成石化燃料。

Passage l 4参考答案及解析
1.【解析】A。细节题。答案在段“Pollution is caused either by man’s release of completely new and often artificial(人造)substances into the environment,or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance(物质)…”可见,污染主要是由于人类向自然界排放人造物质和自然物质所引起的。
2.【解析】C。细节题。第二段作者提到“Whatever its undedying reasons,there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controHed if only companies,individuals and governments would make more efforts.”要控制污染,需要个人、企业和政府的共同努力。C具概括性。
3.【解析】B。细节题。根据第二段中“This not only causes a litter problem,but also is a great waste of resources,in terms of ghss,metal and paper.”可知8符合题意。
4.【解析】B。细节题。文章后一句告诉我们如何控制污染“PoUufion and Waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying,excess use and careless disposal(处理)of the products we use in our daily lives.”,其中A、C、D均提及,只有B未提及。
5.【解析】C。词汇猜测题。看单词所在的句子“In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste.”,litter和waste由and连接,表并列。D选项可以首先排除,因为在家里不可能控制工业污染。其余答案中与waste意思接近的C就是正确答案了。
Passage 15参考答案及解析
1.【解析】C。本题为细节题。从第二段句,“Unfortunately,man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important.”我们可以发现防止灾害方面的功能是重要的,所以选C。
2.【解析】B。本题为细节题。答对这个问题的关键在于正确理解“eventually”的意思。“When the empire fell to pieces,the home CouNtry found itself faced by flood and starvation.”(当这个帝国土崩瓦解时,他们发现自己的国家面临着水灾和饥饿。)根据文章这句话的意思,可以排除A(民众死于饥饿),我们再根据选项的顺序可以确定正确答案为8。
3.【解析】D。本题为细节考查加推断题。“Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees,it is difficult for it to persuade villagers to see this.”(尽管政府意识到了树木的重要性,但很难说服民众意识到这一点。)所以,我们可以概括出当时村民们还没有意识到树木的重要性,正确选项为D。
4.【解析】D。本题为细节题。“for where there are trees their roots break the soil up—allowing the rain to sink in-and also bind the soil,thus preventing its being washed away”从这句话里我们可以知道树木对土壤的作用,因此选D。
5.【解析】A。本题为推断题。本文主要介绍了树木对人类的益处,尤其强调了第三点,即防止自然灾害。只有选项A中的benefits(益处)这一词能体现文章的主旨,B只是文章中的一部分,C指树木的用途,。文章不包含D的内容。
