Pollution in water is not simply a matter of “poisons” killing large numbers of fish overnight. Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed for many months or years because the first organisms (生物体) to be affected are either plants or plankton. But these organisms are the food of fish and birds and other creatures. When this food disappears, the fish and birds die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and its not until dead fish and water birds are seen at the rivers edge or on the seashore that people realize what is happening. Where do the substances which pollute the water come from? There are two main sources of sewage (污水) and industrial waste. As more detergent (洗涤剂) is used in the home, so more of it is finally put into our rivers, lakes and seas. Detergents harm water birds, dissolving the natural substances which keep their feathers water-proof. Sewage itself, if not properly treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need. Industrial waste is even more harmful as there are many highly poisonous things in it, such as copper and lead (铅). So if we want to stop this pollution, the answer is simple: sewage and industrial waste must be made clear before flowing into the water. It may already be too late to save some rivers and lakes, but others can still be saved if the correct action is taken at once.36、Pollution of water is noticed _. A) when the first organisms are affected B) when a good many fish and birds die C) when poisonous things are poured into water D) as soon as the balance of nature is destroyed 37、The living things die because there is no _ in the lake or river.

Civilization is not inherited; it has to be learned and earned by each generation anew; if the transmission should be interrupted for one century, civilization would die, and we should be savages again. So our finest modern achievement is our spending of wealth and toil which never have been known before in the provision of higher education for all. Once colleges were luxuries, designed for the male half of the leisured class; today universities are so numerous that he who runs may become a Ph.D. We may not have been better than the selected geniuses of the past, but we have raised the level and average of knowledge beyond any age in history.41、We are making progress in education because _.

A) we have exceeded the selected geniuses of the past B) anybody who runs has opportunity to get the highest academic degree C) many geniuses are produced D) the quality of education has lowered 43、Civilization is passed down from one generation to another _. A) through the efforts of each new generation B) through inheritance C) through exceptionally creative persons D) through transmission 44、If the transmission of civilization should discontinue for one hundred years, _. A) civilization would be easily brought back
