Air Pollution The main cause of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels by vehicles and power plants. Other human activities, such as construction and the burning of waste, also contribute to air pollution. The effects on our health can be very serious. You can easily contribute to reducing air pollution by only using a car to make journeys when it’s absolutely necessary. ____17____ Global Warming Global warming is the increase in the temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans. It’s caused by the build-up of carbon dioxide and other pollutants in the atmosphere. These trap the Sun’s heat and warm up the planet. Global warming has already caused a wide range of problems. ____18____ Countries around the world have faced extreme weather conditions, such as hurricanes, floods and heat waves. Overflowing Landfills Landfills are used for waste disposal (处理) in many countries around the world. However, these landfills are now nearing their limit. When this happens, the chances of dangerous chemicals in the waste entering our water supply increase. The amount of waste in landfills in China has risen sharply over the last ten years. ____19____ Some cities, such as Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai, among others, are leading the way and have promised to send “zero waste to landfill!”. ____20____ They believe that, although recycling waste is effective, the most effective way of solving the problem of overflowing landfills is to encourage people to take responsibility for reducing the waste they produce themselves. A. If it isn’t, try using public transport instead. B. Sea levels are rising due to the melting of polar ice sheets. C. However, this has come at a huge cost to the environment. D. This resulted in the flooding of the River Po near Turin in Italy. E. For instance, that in Hong Kong is likely to reduce within a few years. F. Thus, the government is now trying to find alternative waste disposal methods. G. Apart from the three Rs, some experts have called for the fourth R—Responsibility. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. B 19. F 20.

Forgetting a name, losing focus, or struggling to think clearly are pretty standard and often linked to stress, fatigue, and multitasking demand. ____16____ This model contains information about the environment and the various thoughts and actions that relate to it.

If these tricks aren’t helping, or if you notice that your memory problems are worsening, talk to your doctor. They can evaluate your memory for signs of a more serious problem — and suggest treatments or solutions that can help. A. Get plenty of sleep B. Enjoy a good night C. Forgetful moments tend to strike when you’re multitasking. D. According to researchers, it happens because our brains create a temporary “event model.” E. Make a designated spot for the items you use regularly, like your keys, glasses, and wallet. F. As you take in new information, work on staying fully engaged and giving it your full attention. G.
