Human activities cause increasing harm to animals
When you think of①a fearsome hunter, images of lions and sharks②may spring to mind③.Recent research by environmental scientists, however, shows that in fact④, humans are the most fearsome hunters who have the greatest impact on⑤ animal populations. Human activities have brought many animals close to extinction⑥. In the last 500 years, over 300 species of animals have gone extinct. Some activities,such as hunting and fishing,directly harm animals,while other activities,such as development in towns and cities,impact indirectly on animal populations.
本句是一个复合句,When引导一个时间状语从句。
Hunting and fishing have directly influenced the world's animal populations. Some people hunt animals for food: whale⑦meat is eaten in some parts of the world. Some people hunt animals for fashion: animal skin is used to make coats and bags. Still others hunt animals just for fun: deer⑧ are tracked⑨ and shot by people who enjoy the excitement of the sport.
本句是一个简单句,句中Hunting and fishing是动名词短语作主语。
本句是一个复合句,who引导一个定语从句。
Human activities that have indirect effects on animals can be just as harmful. When we build farms or factories, we destroy animal habitats⑩ and leave many animals with nowhere⑪to live, or nofood to eat. We can also put animals in danger⑫without ever entering their habitats. Air, water, noise and light pollution can all have a deep and damaging influence quite far from their source. Partly due to pollution caused by ship traffic and other human activities, the dolphin⑬population has dropped greatly. As the human population continues to grow,so does the effect we have on animals.
本句是一个复合句,关系代词that引导一个定语从句。
本句是一个复合句,连词As引导一个时间状语从句。we have on animals是一个定语从句,省略了关系词that/which,因为关系词在从句中作宾语,故可以省略。
News that Matters:pollution in Norgate
HOST:Good evening and welcome to News that Matters. Our topic today is pollution in Norgate. Joining us in the studio tonight are James Smith,a local resident⑭;Vincent Brown,senior⑮ manager of a local factory;and Julie Archer, chief of the Norgate Environmental Protection Committee⑯. Welcome.
Norgate's rapid development has had significant environmental costs.Mr Smith,you've lived in this city for over 20 years. How would you describe the effects of pollution over that time?
SMITH: It's been awful, really. When I first moved here,the air was fresh,the grass green and the water clear. Then heavy industry factories moved in, and things became entirely⑰ different. I don't enjoy outdoor activities any more. The river is dirty and smelly. The smog ⑱ in the air has coloured the sky a smoky grey;F8it's also given me a cough that I can't get rid of⑲. For health and safety reasons alone,heavy industry has to go.
本句是一个倒装句,句子的主语是James Smith...Committee。
本句是一个复合句,When引导时间状语从句,主句中还用了省略,补全的话应是:the grass (was)green and the water (was)clear。
本句是一个复合句,that引导一个定语从句。
HOST:Mr Smith protested⑳against heavy industry. Mr Brown, would you like to respond ?
BROWN:Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, Mr Smith. People tend to connect factories with pictures of clouds of dirty smoke and irresponsible businessmen eager to make huge profits.In defence of the factories,however, I'd like to point out that we also try to control,the amount of pollution we produce. I think I speak for all factory managers when I say we're deeply concerned about the environment.We've been taking various measures, including the use of new technologies, to reduce pollution in the production process,even though these measures raise our production costs. I'd also like to draw your attention to the economic benefits factories have brought to Norgate. We've created many jobs for local residents and helped the city's economy grow.
HOST: Thank you, Mr Brown. With pollution levels on the rise,the Norgate Environmental Protection Committee is searching for ways to fight the problem. Mrs Archer, what are your thoughts on how to deal with pollution?
ARCHER: Well, our committee has a major role to play in maintaining air and water quality. We have to achieve a balance between environmental protection and economic development.We've made environmental policies for businesses to observe, like strict clean-up requirements. We also work hand in hand with other branches of government to ensure that development strategiesare followed in an environmentally friendly way.However, fighting pollution isn't just a task for factories and the government. It has to he a community-wide effort, and everyone can help by following the golden rule: reduce,reuse and recycle. For example,you can save energy by taking the bus or the subway, or using the bike-sharing system.
HOST:Thank you, Mrs Archer,and thanks again to all of our guests. A former UN official once said,“Saving our planet,lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth...these are one and the same fight.”The fortunes of our environment and our economy are inseparable. It's our duty to protect the environment while we aim for economic development. It's our duty to leave a better, cleaner and healthier planet to our children. It's our duty to build a human community with a shared future.
本句是一个复合句。I think后面是宾语从句,省掉了引导词 that;when引导一个时间状语从句,I say后面也是一个宾语从句,省掉了引导词that。
本句是一个复合句。factories have brought to Norgate 是一个定语从句,省略了关系词that/which,因其在从句中作宾语,可以省略。
本句是一个复合句。that引导一个宾语从句。
本句是一个简单句。动名词短语在句中作主语。
本句是一个复合句。It作形式主语,后面的不定式是真正的主语。while引导时间状语从句。
人类活动对动物
造成越来越大的伤害
当你想到一个可怕的捕猎者,狮子和鲨鱼的形象可能会立刻跃入脑海。然而, 环境科学家最近的研究表明,事实上,人是最可怕的猎手,对动物种群的影响最大。人类活动使许多动物濒临灭绝。在过去的500年里,超过300种动物已经灭绝了。有些活动,如狩猎和捕鱼,直接伤害动物;而其他活动, 如城镇的发展,间接地影响了动物种群。
狩猎和捕鱼直接影响世界上的动物种群的数量。有些人捕猎动物是为了食物; 鲸鱼肉在世界上的一些地方被吃掉。有些人捕猎动物是为了时尚:动物的皮被用来做外套和包。还有一些人猎杀动物只是为了找乐子:那些追踪、射猎鹿的人喜欢狩猎的刺激。
对动物有间接影响的人类活动也同样有害。当我们建立农场或工厂时,我们破坏了动物的栖息地,让许多动物无处栖身,或者没有食物吃。我们也可以不进入动物的栖息地就让动物处于危险之中。空气、水、噪声和光污染都会在很远的地方产生深刻而有害的影响。在一定程度上由于船舶运输和其他人类活动造成的污染,海豚数量大幅下降。随着人口的持续增长,我们对动物的影响也在不断增加。
《焦点新闻》:
诺盖特的污染
主持人:晚上好,欢迎收看《焦点新闻》。我们今天的话题是诺盖特的污染。今晚来到演播室的有当地居民詹姆斯·史密斯、当地一家工厂的高级经理文森特·布朗和诺盖特环境保护委员会主任朱莉·阿彻。欢迎。
诺盖特的快速发展带来了巨大的环境成本。史密斯先生,你在这个城市已经住了20多年了。你如何描述污染在那段时间里的影响?
史密斯:真的很糟糕。当我第一次搬到这里时,空气清新,青草绿,水清澈。然后重工业工厂迁入,情况变得完全不同了。我不再喜欢户外活动了。河流又脏又臭。空气中的雾霾把天空染成了烟灰色,还让我患上了咳嗽,老是不好。仅出于健康和安全的原因,重工业就必须离开。
主持人:史密斯先生抗议重工业。布朗先生,你愿意回答吗?
布朗:嗯,史密斯先生,很抱歉你这样想。人们往往会将那些冒着肮脏烟雾的工厂图片与不负责任的渴望获得巨额利润的商人联系起来。不过,为工厂说句公道话,我想指出的是我们也在努力控制所产生的污染量。 当我说我们非常关心环境时,我想我代表了所有的工厂经理。我们一直在采取各种措施,包括使用新技术,以减少生产过程中的污染,尽管这些措施提高了我们的生产成本。我也想请你们关注一下工厂给诺盖特带来的经济利益。我们已经为当地居民创造了许多就业机会,帮助了城市的经济发展。
主持人:谢谢你,布朗先生。随着污染水平的上升,诺盖特环境保护委员会正在寻找解决这个问题的方法。阿彻夫人,你对如何处理污染有什么想法?
阿彻:嗯,我们的委员会在保持空气和水质方面起着重要的作用,我们必须在环境保护和经济发展之间取得平衡。我们为企业制定了环保政策,比如严格的清洁要求。我们还与政府其他部门携手合作,确保以无害环境的方式执行发展战略。然而与污染作斗争不仅仅是工厂和政府的任务。全社会必须共同努力,每个人都遵循:减少使用、重复使用和循环利用的指导原则,就能尽一份力。例如,你可以通过坐公共汽车或地铁,或者使用自行车共享系统来节约能源。
主持人:谢谢你,阿彻夫人,并且再次感谢我们所有的客人。一位联合国前官员曾经说过,“拯救地球,使人们摆脱贫困,促进经济增长……这些就是同一场战斗。”我们的环境的发展变化趋势和我们的经济是分不开的。在追求经济发展的同时,保护环境是我们的责任。把一个更好、更清洁、更健康的星球留给我们的孩子是我们的责任。建设一个人类共同未来的社区是我们的责任。
