Our environment is being polluted faster than nature and man’s present efforts can prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and [26]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. [27]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. [28] 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.
26. Why can’t man prevent the world from being polluted?
27. According to the speaker, what does man value most among the following?
28. What does the story about the pilot indicate?
选项
A、Man knows where the society is going.
B、The speaker is worried about the future of our modern society.
C、People don’t welcome the rapid development of modern society.
D、Man can do nothing about the problem of pollution.
答案
B
解析
短文提到,我们不知道自己在去往何方,意即很担忧现代社会的未来。从选项判断可能是主旨题。C和D两个说法比较绝对,预读选项时可初步排除。
