Our environment is being polluted faster than nature and man’s present efforts can prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and [16]more people will bring us more industry, more motor vehicles, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials. What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man—by his desire for a modern way of life. We make "increasing industrialization" our chief aim. For its sake, we are willing to sacrifice everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.
Isn’t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going—and why? It reminds one of the stories about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker "I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we’re lost and don’t know where we are going." The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when applied to our modern society.
16. Why can’t man prevent the world from being polluted?
17. According to the speaker, what does man value most among the following?
18. What does the story about the pilot indicate?
选项
A、Because there are many developing nations.
B、Because people use too many man-made materials.
C、Because we have more and more industry.
D、Because we are building more vehicles.
答案
C
解析
原文开头提出了污染的现象,随后就解释了原因:越来越多的人口给我们带来越来越多的工业……。所以C正确。根据选项可知题目问某种现象产生的原因。关键实义词more industry是听到的原词,把握先果后因的语言规律,有助于及时捕捉信息。比较级出现的地方常为考点。
