Air pollution is damaging 60% of Europe’s prime wildlife sites in meadows, forests and bushes, according to a new report.
A team of EU scientists said nitrogen emissions(氮排放) from cars, factories and farming were threatening biodiversity. It’s the second report this week warning of the on-going risks and threats linked to nitrogen pollution.
Nitrogen in the atmosphere is harmless in its inert(惰性的) state, but the report says reactive forms of nitrogen, largely produced by human activity, can be a menace to the natural world.
Emissions mostly come from vehicle exhausts(排氣), factories, artificial fertilizers(肥料) and animal waste from intensive farming. The reactive nitrogen they emit to the air disrupts the environment in two ways: It can make acidic soils too acidic to support their previous mix of species. But primarily, because nitrogen is a fertilizer, it favors wild plants that can maximize the use of nitrogen to help them grow.
In effect, some of the nitrogen spread to fertilize crops is carried in the atmosphere to fertilize weeds, possibly a great distance from where the chemicals were first applied.
The effects of fertilization and acidification favor common aggressive species like grasses, brambles and nettles. They harm more delicate species like mosses(苔蘚), and insect-eating sundew plants.
The report said 60% of wildlife sites were now receiving a critical load of reactive nitrogen. The report’s lead author, Dr Kevin Hicks from the University of York’s Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), told BBC News that England’s Peak District had a definitely low range of species as a result of the reactive nitrogen that fell on the area.
“Nitrogen creates a rather big problem that seems to me to have been given too little attention,” he said. “Governments are responsible for protecting areas like this, but they are clearly failing.”
He said more research was needed to understand the knock-on effects for creatures from the changes in vegetation accidentally caused by emissions from cars, industry and farms.
At the conference, the representatives agreed “The Edinburgh Declaration on Reactive Nitrogen”. The document highlights the importance of reducing reactive nitrogen emissions to the environment, adding that the benefits of reducing nitrogen outweigh the costs of taking action.
【小題1】The underlined word “menace” is used to express that the reactive nitrogen, largely produced by human activity can be ___________.

A.frighteningB.threateningC.uniqueD.unusual
【小題2】 We can infer from the passage that _________.
A.it’s harmless to have reactive nitrogen existing in the atmosphere
B.reactive nitrogen emissions help aggressive species less than crops
C.the harm to those delicate species has a negative impact on biodiversity
D.reactive nitrogen can fertilize soils and keep their biodiversity
【小題3】 The team of EU scientists released the second report of nitrogen emissions this week when __________.
A.no action was taken to stop nitrogen emission
B.governments were willing to protect areas harmed by nitrogen
C.“The Edinburgh Declaration on Reactive Nitrogen” was agreed
D.nitrogen emissions were threatening wildlife sites’ biodiversity
【小題4】 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Keeping Away From Nitrogen EmissionsB.Stopping Nitrogen Emissions
C.Air Pollution Damaging Europe’s WildlifeD.Saving Europe’s Wildlife

The 16-year-old girl Jessica Watson is said to be the youngest person to sail non-stop alone around the world. But her record has been questioned because someone thought that she has not sailed far enough. She will also not be recognized by the World Speed Sailing Record Council, as it was too dangerous for someone under 18 years old.
Ms Watson sailed into Sydney port on Saturday, seven months after leaving on a hard voyage. Family, friends and Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd have gathered to greet her. Thousands of well-wishers waited at the port and watched from boats as Ms Watson sailed her pink, 10m boat over the finishing line. Many more Australians watched the event broadcast live on television. Watson said she was just an “ordinary girl who believed in her dream”.
Ms Watson left Sydney on 18 October, despite that some people disagreed to her plan. Watson traveled northeast through the South Pacific and across the equator (赤道), south to Cape Horn at the tip of South America, across the Atlantic Ocean to South Africa, through the Indian Ocean and around southern Australia. The route took her through some of the world’s most changeful waters, and she battled through huge storms and suffered seven accidents of her boat.
People around the world have followed Ms Watson’s adventures on her blog, which she has daily updated (更新). On her blog, she wrote down beautiful sunrise over seas, the excitement of meeting a blue whale and the bright, terrible sight of a shooting star flying across the night sky above her boat. Ms Watson has reportedly sold her story to a news company for $700,000. She is planning to write a book on her experience.
【小題1】Which of the following oceans didn’t Ms Watson cross through in her voyage?

A.The Pacific Ocean.B.The Arctic Ocean.
C.The Indian Ocean.D.The Atlantic Ocean.
【小題2】Ms Watson’s voyage will NOT be considered an official world record mainly because __________.
A.no one can prove that her route was dangerous enough
B.she hasn’t applied for the record
C.teenagers are not encouraged to take such a dangerous adventure
D.girls are not allowed to take part in the dangerous sports
【小題3】We can make a conclusion from this passage that Watson __________.
A.would make another voyage for money
B.made the world round voyage for money
C.had no way to communicate with others during the voyage.
D.is so confident and brave that she could overcome troubles on her own
【小題4】 All the following can be inferred from this passage EXCEPT that __________.
A.her book about her voyage is a best seller
B.people in Australia had much interest in her voyage
C.she spent more than 200 days alone at sea
D.people have different attitudes towards her voyage
