     The earth is our home; we must take care of it. This means keeping the land, air and water clean.
Pollution is a dirty word. To pollute means to make things unfit or unclean to use. Pollution comes in
many ways. We see it, smell it, taste it and drink it. Pollution is beginning to threaten (威脅) our health,
our happiness and our life.
     Man has been polluting the earth from the time he first made fire, washed his clothes in the river and
threw his waste on the ground. When land was used up or water became dirty, men moved on to another
place. At first, the problem was not so serious because there was plenty of clean air, land and water.
There weren't so many people then and their wants were fewer. All the dirty things could be absorbed
(吸收) by nature and soon covered over. But this is no longer true. The increase of population and the
development of industry(工業(yè))have changed that. Man is slowly poisoning (毒害) his environment.
     Through the use of poison, man has polluted the land, killing the animals. By putting dirty water and
chemicals into rivers and lakes we have polluted our drinking water, killing the fish.
     Our increasing population is part of the problem. More people, more waste.
     Where is this all to end? Are we turning the world into a big rubbish dump (堆存處), or is there any
hope that we can get rid of (擺脫, 除去) the pollution? Luckily, millions of people have been warned of
the danger of pollution. Large numbers of people are now working hard to bring pollution under control.
1. Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage?
A. We live on the earth, so we should look after it.
B. To pollute means to make air, water and land unfit for use.
C. All the waste produced by modern industry can be absorbed.
D. Man is now fighting against different kinds of pollution.
2. In this passage the word "chemicals" means ______.
A. 化學(xué)
B. 化學(xué)物質(zhì)
C. 化學(xué)的
D. 醫(yī)學(xué)的
3. Through the uncontrolled use of poison man has ______.
A. made the drinking water dirty
B. polluted the land
C. killed the animals
D. all of the above
4. From the sentences "More people, more waste", we know that ______.
A. because of the increase of population and the development of industry, more and more waste is
     produced
B. we need more people, not more waste
C. there isn't any hope that we can get rid of the pollution
D. more people have been warned of the danger of more waste
5. From the passage we can know that now man ______.
A. doesn't know how to control pollution
B. still doesn't realize how serious pollution is
C. is doing something to control pollution
D. begins to understand the pollution
