Section Ⅳ Using Language & Assessing Your Progress
REDUCING WATER POLLUTION IN THE LI RIVER
The beautiful Li River and its amazing surrounding scenery is one of the most wellknown tourist destinations in China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.It attracts millions of domestic and foreign visitors each year.However,its reputation as a top destination has had negative effects on the river's water quality.This report looks at the problem of water pollution and some actions that have been taken to deal with it .[1]
[1]that have been taken to deal with it是定语从句,修饰先行词actions,that在从句中作主语,先行词是复数,所以从句谓语动词用复数。
Previously,water quality in the Li River had suffered greatly from an increasing volume of tourists,many of whom frequently threw garbage into the river [2].Many tour boats contributed to the problem too.Kitchens on board were using lots of oil,which was often thrown into the water [3].The growth in tourism also meant the local population rose rapidly,as well as the number of commercial and industrial enterprises.Water pollution levels increased,with more household and commercial waste ending up in the river [4].In order to feed more people,more chemicals were used to increase crop production [5].These chemicals led to severe water quality issues,causing a decrease in the number of fish species [6].Local officials were concerned...that the pollution was damaging the natural environment and felt that urgent steps should be taken to restore the river's original beauty [7].
[2]many of whom...river是“代词+of+关系代词”引导的定语从句,先行词tourists是人,关系代词只能用whom;先行词如果是物,关系代词只用which。
[3]which was often thrown into the water是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词oil。此处关系代词不能用that。
[4]with more household and commercial waste ending up in the river是“with+宾语+宾补”的复合结构,ending up in the river是现在分词短语作宾补。
[5]本句是简单句。in order to feed more people在句中作目的状语,另外后面的动词不定式短语to increase crop production 在句中也作目的状语。
[6]causing a decrease...是现在分词短语作结果状语。
[7]本句是复合句。local officials were concerned...and felt是主句;that the pollution...environment和that urgent steps...beauty都是宾语从句;to restore the river's original beauty是动词不定式短语作目的状语。
A comprehensive initiative was started, with a number of measures that addressed the issues [8].The construction of waste water treatment facilities improved the water quality and water conservation. The collection and transport of household waste was also improved. Dozens of polluting enterprises [9] were closed or moved.The local government set up strict regulations regarding further industrial development. New rules were also introduced regarding tour boat routes and garbage disposal methods. Furthermore, the local authorities began to use the media to spread environmental awareness and encourage greater use of clean energy [10]. At the same time,they started to carry out inspections regularly and fine tourist organisations for abuses [11]. With these measures, it is believed that the beauty of the Li River will be preserved for generations to come [12].
[8]that addressed the issues是定语从句,修饰先行词measures。
[9]polluting是现在分词作前置定语,修饰名词enterprises,它们之间是主动关系。
[10]to use the media是动词不定式短语作动词began的宾语;to spread...energy是动词不定式短语作目的状语。
[11]to carry out...for abuses是动词不定式短语作动词started的宾语。
[12]本句是复合句。it is believed that...人们相信……,it是形式主语,that从句是真正的主语。从句中to come是动词不定式作定语,修饰名词generations。
In addition , the ambitious “Water Ten Plan”is also now tackling water pollution across the country.Other initiatives, such as the “River Chief System”,hold senior officials responsible for reducing water pollution [13].With such campaigns in effect , China's waterways are heading towards a clean and sustainable future.
[13]reducing water pollution是动名词短语作介词for的宾语。
减少漓江的水污染
美丽的漓江及其迷人的周边风景是中国广西壮族自治区最著名的旅游目的地之一。它每年吸引数百万国内外游客。然而,它作为首选目的地的声誉已经对这条河的水质产生了负面影响。本报告着眼于水污染问题以及已经采取的一些应对措施。
在此之前,由于游客数量的增加,漓江的水质受到了很大的影响,很多游客经常往河里扔垃圾。许多游船也造成了这个问题。船上的厨房使用大量的油,这些油经常被倒入水中。旅游业的发展也意味着当地人口的迅速增长,以及商业和工业企业的数量增长。水污染水平上升,更多的家庭和商业废物最终流入河中。为了养活更多的人,人们使用了更多的化学品来增加农作物产量。这些化学物质导致了严重的水质问题,导致鱼类物种数量减少。当地官员担心污染正在破坏自然环境,并认为应采取紧急措施来恢复这条河原来的美丽。
一项全面的倡议已经开始,并采取了一些措施来处理这些问题。污水处理设施的建设改善了水质,节约了用水。生活垃圾的收集和运输也得到了改善。许多家污染企业被关闭或搬迁。当地政府制定了关于进一步发展工业的严格规定。关于游船路线和垃圾处理方法也有了新的规定。此外,地方当局开始利用媒体传播环保意识,鼓励更多地使用清洁能源。与此同时,他们开始定期进行检查,并对滥用职权的旅游组织进行罚款。有了这些措施,人们相信漓江的美丽将会为后代保存下来。
此外,雄心勃勃的“水十条”也在全国范围内解决水污染问题。其他倡议,如“河长制”,要求高级官员负责减少水污染。随着这些运动的实施,中国的水道正朝着清洁和可持续的未来迈进。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
In the waters off Brisbane, Australia, a sevenfootlong sand tiger shark swam in pain. A twofootlong spike stuck out of her side. It was a piece of fishing equipment that the shark ate carelessly. After traveling into her body, the spike punctured(刺)through the shark's stomach.
A man swimming in the water noticed the shark. Then,he warned Sea World Marine Park in the nearby town of Gold Coast. Sea World sent a 12person team from its rescue center to where the shark was discovered in Moreton Bay Marine Park. Soon, they found her lying on the seafloor. “She'll die without help,”said Trevor Long, leader of the rescue center.
Using an onboard crane (吊车),the rescuers moved the shark into their boat's 13footlong tank. Then Dr. David Blyde gave the shark pain medicine and performed an operation to remove the spike. After that, the team sailed with the shark to Sea World 33 miles away. They placed the fish in a 49footlong tank and waited to see if she got better.
To give the shark's stomach time to get better, she wasn't fed for the first few days. A week after her operation, Long offered the shark a small, dead fish. The animal refused to eat.But days later when he dropped another fish into her tank, the shark enjoyed her meal. Gradually the shark's wounds were getting better.
Two weeks after her rescue, they took the shark back to the boat and returned her to Moreton Bay Marine Park. As the fish was lowered by the crane to the water's surface, two rescuers jumped into the ocean and guided her into the sea. From the boat, Long watched her swim away. “The shark has another chance,”Long said.

Like colorful corals, they rocked gently in the ocean current. Only these were not beautiful natural reefs grown over centuries. They were plastic bags, stuck to the Aegean Sea floor since a waste site slid into the water.
A team of divers and environmentalists pulled thousands of plastic bags from the water near Greece's Andros Island this month. The workers described what they found as “a gulf full of plastic corals”.
Seas polluted with plastic have become one of the most shocking signs of human damage to the planet. “It was a very scary thing to see,”said Arabella Ross, a volunteer diver with Aegean Rebreath. The group carries out underwater and coastal cleanups. “It really shock me and I think it really shock everyone who saw it ,”she added.
“The Mediterranean is among the seas with the highest levels of plastic pollution in the world,”the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) said in a report. Greece produces about 700,000 tons of plastic waste a year, or about 68 kilos per person. About 11,500 tons enter its seas every year. Almost 70% of that returns to the Greek coast, one of the longest in the world.The sea pollution off Andros is thought to date back to 2011,when heavy rain caused a waste site to collapse. Most of the waste fell into the sea.
Aegean Rebreath divers removed blue, black and yellow plastic bags caught between reefs and among fish. “It was like the paradise of the Caribbean Sea, where you find coral reefs everywhere of every color. It was the exact same thing,but instead of corals it was bags,”diver Arabella Ross said.
The team managed to remove only a small part of the plastic waste they found. They also pulled up 300 kilograms of old fishing traps-known as “ghost nets”—from Andros.In a separate operation in June off Salamina, a small island near Athens, they removed two tons.
“If people are wondering where their rubbish ends up,we see it each time we go into the water,”Ross said.
5.What does the underlined word “it” (Para.3) most probably refer to?
A.The Aegean Sea.
B.Plastic pollution.
C.The volunteer group.
D. The waste site.
6.What is believed to be the start of the pollution off Andros?
A.Collapse of a waste site.
B.Extremely bad weather.
C.Waste thrown away by tourists.
D.Plastic waste produced by the Greeks.
7.Where does the rubbish finally end up according to Rose?
A.The oceans.
B.In the fields.
C.In the rubbish sites.
D.The waste treatment factories.
8.What could be the best title for the passage?
A.Gulf of Plastic Corals' found in Aegean Sea
B.The paradise lies in the Caribbean Sea
C.Coral reefs are full of every color
D.Water pollution is very serious
[语篇解读] 不久前,有潜水员发现在希腊安德罗斯岛附近的爱琴海海域积累了大量的塑料垃圾。从远处望去,潜水员仿佛看到了一个色彩缤纷、随着洋流缓缓流动的海底世界。然而,在希腊安德罗斯岛的海床上,人们并没有发现任何植物——取而代之的是数万吨的塑料废物,在这里堆积如山,形成了一种“珊瑚礁”。
5.B [代词指代题。根据上文的“Seas polluted with plastic have become one of the most shocking signs of human damage to the planet.”可知,此处的it指的是上文提到的塑料污染。]
6.A [细节理解题。根据第四段的最后两句“The sea pollution off Andros is thought to date back to 2011,when heavy rain caused a waste site to collapse.Most of the waste fell into the sea.”可知,污染的开始是垃圾场的坍塌。]
7.A [推理判断题。根据最后一段Rose所说的“If people are wondering where their rubbish ends up,we see it each time we go into the water”可知,垃圾最终进入海里。]
8.A [主旨大意题。通读全文可知,潜水员在水下仿佛看到了一个色彩缤纷、随着洋流缓缓流动的海底世界。但是,在希腊安德罗斯岛的海床上,人们并没有发现任何植物——取而代之的是数万吨的塑料废物,在这里堆积如山,形成了一种“珊瑚礁”。由此可知,A项可作为本文的标题。]

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。Wood是学校环保俱乐部的主席,该俱乐部回收垃圾,并打算筹资为学校买一辆小型环保公共汽车。
1.B [结合第三段中Wood所说的话可知,她本来以为会员会寥寥无几,但没想到会员竞达到了60个。此处表示转折,故用Instead,表示“相反”。]
2.A [根据该空前的took over以及第四段中的Under Wood's direction可知,Wood成了该俱乐部的主席,故用president。]
3.D [结合常识和第二段可知,此处表示当第一次会议就要来临(approached)的时候,她尽力为俱乐部进行宣传。]
4.C [根据语境可知,此处表示俱乐部正在招募新(new)会员。]
5.A [根据文章第一句可知,Wood是个学生。再结合文中多次出现的school可知,前来听Wood讲话的是俱乐部招募的学生(students)会员。]
6.B [根据本段内容可知,这次学生们非常踊跃,前来参加会议的人很多,Wood没有想到有这么多人,由此推知此处表示Wood说“这是令人兴奋的(exciting)”。]
7.C [结合该段中Wood所说的话可知,她没有预料到(expecting)会有这么多同学参与。文章第一句中的expecting也给出了提示。]
8.B [根据Wood发起的是环保运动可知.她想帮助学校买一辆环保的(green)小型公共汽车。]
9.D [因为参与的人数剧增,俱乐部在财力方面(financially)突然开始增长,所以才有了下一句中提到的银行账户的建立。]
10.A [结合语境和常识可知,收集罐子和纸是为了筹资并帮助学校减少浪费(waste)。]
11.A [她不仅仅回收(recycling)垃圾,还把垃圾里面有用的东西挑选出来。]
12.D [该空前的it指代垃圾中有用的东西。有时这些东西是被人们误扔的,故用mistakenly(错误地)。]
13.C [因为需要分拣垃圾,所以他们身上有些难闻。smelly有难闻气味的。]
14.B [由该空后的about$60 a week及语境可知他们平均每星期赚约60美元。average在此处为动词,表示“平均为”。]
15.D [根据最后一段中对Wood的评价可知,她很务实,从不哗众取宠,因此Andrew Dolloff说她是一个了不起的(great)孩子。]
