A lot of people, birds and fish die each day because of water pollution. Factories pollute the water. As a result, the water in many rivers and lakes is very dirty now.

Soil(土壤) pollution
In order to have a better harvest(收获), some farmers use chemicals(化学物质) in their fields. That's bad for the soil.

B
The earth is about 4.6 billion years old. We humans have lived on the earth for only 35,000 years, but during this period, we have changed our planet in many ways.
All over the world, people have cut down millions of trees. Forests have become deserts, and so many kinds of animals and plants are disappearing. Factories have also polluted the land and the water. As a result, many rivers and lakes are now “dead”.
Around the earth, there’s a special kind of oxygen called “ozone”. Now air pollution is destroying it and making a very big hole in the ozone layer. Too much harmful radiation from the sun passes through the hole and reaches the earth directly. This is very dangerous, because it can cause cancer.
Carbon dioxide in the air has increased a lot. It mainly comes from different kinds of burning oil, coal and wood. This has formed a “blanket” around the earth. The heat from the sun can’t escape, so the temperature is rising. This is called “the greenhouse effect”. It causes the level of the ocean to rise and the climate of the earth to change.
All these problems are very serious, so we must do something now.

In the universe, there is the Sun. The Moon, the Earth and so on. We know the Earth goes around the Sun, and the Moon goes around the Earth. We have day and night because the
Earth keeps turning all the time. When our part of the Earth turns to the Sun, it is day, When our part of the Earth turns away from the Sun, it is night.
Just because the Moon is closer to the Earth than the Sun, it looks much bigger than the Sun. Big things will look smaller when they are further, and small ones look bigger when they are nearer.
he Sun is big enough to give out very strong light. The Moon can't give out any light, but it looks quite bright too. Why In fact, the light from the Moon comes from the Sun. The Moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But actually (事实上) the stars are much bigger and brighter than the Moon. Also, they look smaller than the Moon because they are further away from the Earth。
There are many other planets (行星) in the universe. But of all the planets, people can only live on the Earth.

● Whenever (无论何时) you visit a park or beach, take away what you bring there — keep rubbish in a bag until you can throw it into a dustbin.
● Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth. You can save some water by not letting it run all the time. Also, use a glass cup instead of (代替) a paper cup because this can protect forests.
● Stop putting dirty water into the rivers or lakes. In this way, you can protect plants and fish in the rivers or lakes.

31．A 细节理解题。根据“We humans have lived on the earth for only 35,000 years”可知，我们人类在地球上只
生活了3.5万年，故选A。
32．B 推理判断题。根据“Around the earth, there’s a special kind of oxygen called “ozone”. Now air pollution is
destroying it and making a very big hole in the ozone layer.”可知，在地球周围，有一种特殊的氧气叫做“臭
氧”。现在空气污染正在破坏它，在臭氧层上造成一个非常大的洞，可推测出代指“臭氧”，故选B。
33．C 推理判断题。根据“Carbon dioxide in the air has increased a lot. It mainly comes from different kinds of
burning oil, coal and wood. This has formed a “blanket” around the earth.”可知，空气中的二氧化碳增加了
很多。它主要来自各种燃烧的石油、煤和木材。这就形成了一个环绕地球的“毯子”。可推测出是二氧化

In the universe, there is the Sun. The Moon, the Earth and so on. We know the Earth goes around the Sun, and the Moon goes around the Earth. We have day and night because the
Earth keeps turning all the time. When our part of the Earth turns to the Sun, it is day, When our part of the Earth turns away from the Sun, it is night.
Just because the Moon is closer to the Earth than the Sun, it looks much bigger than the Sun. Big things will look smaller when they are further, and small ones look bigger when they are nearer.
he Sun is big enough to give out very strong light. The Moon can't give out any light, but it looks quite bright too. Why In fact, the light from the Moon comes from the Sun. The Moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But actually (事实上) the stars are much bigger and brighter than the Moon. Also, they look smaller than the Moon because they are further away from the Earth。
There are many other planets (行星) in the universe. But of all the planets, people can only live on the Earth.

A. bigger B. longer C. shorter D. smaller

40. Where can we find the passage

C. In a daily schedule. D. In an English diary
【答案】DBAAA
【解析】
此篇文章介绍的是太空中，宇宙意味着地球，太阳，月亮和星星及其它们之间的空间以及之间的关联。
36.细节理解题。根据第三段Just because the Moon is closer to the Earth than the Sun, it looks much bigger than the Sun. 可知因为月亮离地球比太阳更近一些，因此月亮看起来比太阳更大一些。所以相对的地球看起来比月球小。故选D。
37.细节理解题。根据When our part of the earth turns to the sun，it is day. When our part of the earth turns away from the sun，it is night.可知当地球的一部分转向太阳时，就是白天。当地球的一部分远离太阳时，就是夜晚。另一面就是白天。故选B。
38.词义猜测题。根据原文Big things will look smaller when they are further, and small ones look bigger when they are nearer.可知句中的smaller和bigger是反义词，相应的further与nearer是反义词。nearer意为“较近的，更近的”,那么further的意思就是：较远的，更远的。故选A。
39细节判断题。根据第一段the Moon goes around the Earth 和 第四段The Moon can't give out any light, but it looks quite bright too.可知A正确。根据第一段the Moon goes around the Earth.可知月亮是绕着地球的，所以B错误；根据第一段We know the Earth goes around the Sun可知地球是绕着太阳转的，而不是月亮。所以C错误；根据地理知识可知，行星都是绕着太阳转的，所以D错误。故选A.
40.推理判断题。本文是科普文，由此可推知它会出现在科学报纸上。故选A。
D
The Earth is very important to us. Most of us don’t want to pollute it, but we are polluting it by not using the things on Earth correctly (正确地). Here are some easy things you can do to protect the environment (环境) and the Earth. Choose ideas of the following or come up with a few of your own.

● Whenever (无论何时) you visit a park or beach, take away what you bring there — keep rubbish in a bag until you can throw it into a dustbin.
● Turn off the tap when you brush your teeth. You can save some water by not letting it run all the time. Also, use a glass cup instead of (代替) a paper cup because this can protect forests.
● Stop putting dirty water into the rivers or lakes. In this way, you can protect plants and fish in the rivers or lakes.
