The sand and rocks are hard, and many of the plants even have hard needles instead of leaves. The size and location(分布) of the world』s deserts are always changing. Over millions of years, as climates change and mountains rise, new dry and wet areas develop. But within the last 100 yeas, deserts have been growing at a frightening speed. This is partly because of natural changes, but the greatest makers are humans.Humans can make deserts, but humans can also prevent their growth. Algeria Mauritania is planting a similar wall around Nouakchott, the capital. Iran puts a thin covering of petroleum(石油) on sandy areas and plants trees. The oil keeps the water and small trees in the land, and men on motorcycles(摩托車) keep the sheep and goats away. The USSR and India are building long canals to bring water to desert areas.

【答案與解析】文章主要講的是人們正採取措施控制和治理沙漠。
1. C。詞彙猜測題。從instead of leaves可知needles是沙漠中植物的葉子，眾所周知沙漠中植物的葉子是針狀的, 再看steel(鋼) 、) branches(樹枝) 、stick(棒) 都不是與葉對應的物體, 只有C項(長在植物莖上的尖的小物體)是「是針狀葉」的意思，故答案選C。
2. B。細節題。從many of the plants even have hard needles instead of leaves可知B項錯誤。
3. A。細節題。從Humans can make deserts, but humans can also prevent their growth(認為可能造成沙漠，但人類也可以防止沙漠的增長)可知答案A正確。
4. D。推斷題。根據常識非洲沙漠遠近聞名, 這說明那裡最需要治理, 作者舉例也會舉典型的, 增加文章的可信度，故答案選D。

As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. In some places we can't see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment. But what can we do? How to protect our environment? For example, we can go to school on foot or by bike instead of taking a car. We had better use shopping basketbets instead of plastic bags when we go shopping. We should use both sides of the paper when we write. Do't use paper cups. At our school dinning room, use our own bowls and chopsticks instead of disposable ones. We can reuse the water and save the electricity.In a word, if everyone pays more attention to our environment, there will be less pollution and our life will be better.
"There is only one earth", I hope everyone will protect our environment well.
周所周知，我們周圍的環境變得越來越糟糕。有些地方我們看不到水了魚兒在游泳， 山上不再有樹。一些人甚至於沒有干凈的飲用水。因此我們必須做些事情來保護環境。我們能做什麼呢？如何保護環境？例如，我們可以走著或騎車去上學，而不乘車。我們賣東西最好使用購物藍而不用塑料袋。我們寫字時要兩面的紙張都用。不用紙杯子。在學校食堂，不用一次性筷子，要用自己的碗和筷子。我們再次用水，節約電。總之，如果人人都注意環境，污染會更少，我們的生活會更好。「只有一個地球」，我希望人人都能很好地保護環境。

在現代社會，我們越來越趨向於關注，我們的生活環境和自然環境，因為我們已認識到我們周圍的環境已不像以前那麼干凈了，現在許多人買房看的是它的環境而不是它的位置地點及負擔費用。
眾所周知，這些年環境污染越來越嚴重，我們所能做的是盡全力保護環境，作為政府，已分布了一些法律禁止環境污染，而作為普通的人們，則是盡力保護它，讓它保持清潔。
雖然我們已無法去保護環境，而環境已破壞到了一定程度，但是還是有一段長的路要走。

Water Pollution
Water pollution is caused by waste from factories and cities. Oceans are able to clean themselves, but certain seas,once they become dirty, are not able to do so. One example is the Mediterranean which lies between Europe and Africa. It has onlyeone narrow entrance to the ocean in the west. On quarter of the shores of the Mediterranean are polluted and are no longer safe for swimming, as a lot of diseases are present in the water. In most places it is not safe to eat the fish.
Lakes also have the same problems. Lake Baikal in Asia was once the cleanest in the world, with over 700 different kinds of plant and animal life. Now, however, the waters of this great lake, which is also the world's deepest (over 1,740 metres), have been dirtied by waste from a chemical factory.
In 1989 an oil tanker hit a rock off the northwest coast of Alaska. 35,000 tons of oil poured into the sea. The accident was one of the worst in history. More than 34,000 birds and
10,000 animals were killed. 4,800 square kilometres of ocean were polluted.

However, with more and more waste gas being discharged by the cars, the problem of air pollution becomes even more serious. So nowadays we advocate to lead a low-carbon life.

Fast Food Scraps Threaten Rat Plague?
Britain is facing a sharp rise in its rat population as growing numbers of people leave fast food scraps in the street, an environment group warned. Keep Britain Tidy said the rodents were abandoning their traditional haunts underground and were roaming the streets, enticed by discarded remnants of burgers, pizzas and crisps. "The rat population is on the rise and soon it'll be as common to see a rodent on our street as it is to see a dog or a cat," said group Director, Sue Nelson. The practice of mping fast food litter and scraps on the street rather than in the trash - with young men the worst offenders - was behind the rise. According to the National Rodent Survey in 2001, Britain's rat population has grown by nearly one quarter since 1998 and is now estimated at 60 million, two million more than the human population. On average a rat can give birth every 24-28 days and just a single pair of rats can proce a colony of 2,000 a year. Around 200 Britons a year contract Weil's Disease - an infection which can lead to kidney or liver failure and eventually death and which is carried in rat's urine. To highlight the issue, Keep Britain Tidy launched a cinema advert entitled "How close do you want them to get?" The ad culminates in a shocking image of a young woman sleeping in a bed of rats - echoing the nightmare scenario from James Herbert's classic horror tale The Rats, in which mutant rodents begin to prey on humans.
吃剩快餐貽鼠患
一個環保組織發出警告：由於越來越多的人把吃剩的快餐扔在大街上，英國的老鼠數量正在急劇上升。「保持英國清潔」組織說，人們拋棄的漢堡包、比薩餅和土豆條殘渣正在誘使習慣在地下活動的鼠類轉而到大街上漫步。「老鼠數量正在增長，很快在街上看到老鼠就會和看到貓狗一樣平常，」該組織負責人蘇-尼爾森說。老鼠增多的背後是往大街上而不是垃圾箱里亂扔快餐垃圾和殘渣的行為--年輕人是其中的罪魁禍首。根據2001年的國家鼠類調查，英國的老鼠數量自1998年來增長了將近¼，目前估計為6千萬只，比英國人口還多2百萬。老鼠平均每24至28天就可生產一次，僅僅一對老鼠一年就能繁殖出一個2000隻的鼠群。每年大約有200個英國人感染威爾氏症--一種能導致腎或肝功能衰竭直至死亡的傳染病，病源在老鼠的尿液中。為引起人們對這一問題的注意，「保持英國清潔」推出了名為「你希望它們靠得多近？」的影院宣傳片。宣傳片的高潮是一幅令人震驚的畫面：一個年輕婦女睡在一張滿是老鼠的床上--這是對詹姆斯-赫伯特的經典恐怖故事《老鼠》中夢魘般的景象的模擬。在那個故事中，變異的老鼠開始捕食人類。

Environmental pollution is a term that refers to all the ways by which man pollutes his surrounding. Man dirties the air with gasses and smoke, poisons the water with chemicals and other substances, and damages the soil with too many fertilizers and pesticides. Man also pollutes his surrounds in various other ways. For example, people ruin natural beauty by scattering junk and litter on the land and in the water. They operate machines and motor vehicles that fill the air with disturbing noise. Nearly everyone causes pollution in some way.
Environmental pollution is one of the most serious problems facing mankind today. Badly polluted air can cause illness, and even death. Polluted water kills fish and other marine life. Pollution of soil reces the amount of land available for growing food. Environmental pollution also brings ugliness to man's naturally beautiful world.
Water pollution reces the amount of pure, fresh water that is available for such necessities as drinking and cleaning, and for such activities as swimming and fishing. The pollutants that affect water come mainly from instries, farm, and sewerage systems. Instries mp millions of tons of waste procts into bodies of water each year. These wastes include chemicals, wastes from animal and plant matter, and hundreds of other substances. Wastes from farms include animal wastes, fertilizers, and pesticides. Most of these materials drain off farm fields and into nearby bodies of water. Sewerage systems carry wastes from homes, offices, and instries into water.
People, however, may differ in what they consider to be a pollutant, on the basis of their assessment of benefits and risks to their health and economic well-being. For example, visible and invisible chemicals spewed into the air or water from a plant nearby pose a danger to the people nearby and other animals and plants. However, if the installation of expensive pollution controls leads to the rection of proctivity, the unemployed might feel that the risks from polluted air and water are minor weighed against the benefits of profitable employment. The same level of pollution can also affect two people quite differently --- some forms of air pollution might be a slight annoyance to a health person but life threatening to someone with emphysema or another respiratory disorder.
環境污染是指人們用各種方式污染周圍環境的一個術語。人們通過氣體和煙霧來污染空氣，用化學物質以及其他物質污染水源，還用大量的化肥和殺蟲劑破壞土壤。人們還通過其他的方式污染著他們的環境。例如，總有人在地面上和水裡扔垃圾，破壞自然美。 人們使用的一些及其和交通工具噪音很大。 可以說，幾乎每個人都在某種程度上對周圍環境造成了污染。
境污染是當今人們所面對的一個非常嚴重的問題。被嚴重污染的空氣將引起各種疾病，甚至死亡。 被污染的水源會引起魚類以及其他海洋生物的死亡，被污染的土壤會減少種植農作物的面積。同時。環境污染使得人們周圍美麗的自然環境日益變得醜陋。
水污染使得我們用來飲用和清洗的純凈新鮮的水資源不斷減少，用於游泳、垂釣的水源也在減少。水的污染源主要來自工業、農場以及排水系統。工業廢物每年數以千萬噸計地被傾倒水中，這些廢物包括化學原料，來自動植物的廢物，以及上百種其他的廢物。農場廢物包括動植物排泄，化肥和殺蟲劑。其中大部分物體都從田地里排出流入附近的水中。排水系統將來自每家每戶，辦公室和工業中的廢水排到水中。
基於環境污染對人類健康和生活所帶來的利弊的不同估計，人們對同一污染源持有不同的看法。例如，有形和無形的化學原料從附近的工廠排放到空氣或水中，這對於附近的人們和其他的生物構成危害。但是，如果該工廠裝備昂貴的控制污染的設備，導致生產成本提高，因此而失業的工人也許會覺得廢氣廢水所造成的危險與具有豐厚利潤的工作相比真是微乎其微。同種程度的污染對不同的人影響也不同。比如說，一些空氣污染對於一個健康的人來說只是小煩惱，而對患有肺氣腫或呼吸道疾病的人來說卻是生死攸關的。
