Going to the beach is many Americans' favourite activity.They went swimming in the ocean without giving a thought to what was underwater.But those days are long gone.In the summer of 1988，many of the beaches had to be closed because garbage(废料)from hospitals was found in the water.The garbage included glass bottles with samples of blood，and people were afraid they might get AIDS from the blood.At some beaches，sewage(污物)was found in the water.Americans were shocked by this state of affairs.People didn't think of the underwater garbage because it was out of sight. Some of the most polluted waters still look beautiful.San Francisco Bay is a good example of a beautiful bay that's full of chemicals.Scientists discovered pollution in some lakes and rivers when they found fish with rotting skin.People are told not to eat too much fish because of pollution.Most American cities put their garbage in the ground.But New York and a few other cities put their garbage in the ocean.Boston Harbour is so polluted that scientists say it won't recover until the next century.The government has ordered the city to build a sewage treatment plant.Cleaning up oceans won't be easy，but people can no longer ignore this challenge.【语篇解读】美国海域受污染情况不容乐观。

从最后一段的最后两句可知。
答案：BBWhen it comes to learning a foreign language，many people wonder if they will be able to memorize enough vocabulary.But this question never happens about their mother tongue，and yet，it was a foreign language once.However，among all the questions that new parents ask，no doctor has ever heard：“Will my baby be able to learn my language？”Be honest，do you know all the words of your mother tongue？The answer is：“No.”New words，and new ways of using old words，appear every day.Twenty years ago，who would have been able to understand a sentence like this：“Click here to download your digital book？” Nobody.You never stop learning new vocabulary and you never know how long you will need it.Sometimes，you have the word on the tip of your tongue...and it sticks there！But you do know this phenomenon(现象)and don't think that it is because of a bad memory.You should not give this phenomenon more importance in the language you are learning than in your mother tongue.You need to learn only 2，000 or so basic words to be able to create any phrase you need.You can't avoid some work in order to learn these necessary words and all the more if you want to learn quickly.And before you consider buying into any method，be sure it is right for you.It is not wise to depend on any method based upon mnemonics (记忆术)．The first words seem very easy to learn，so you buy the course，but then you discover quickly，though too late，that a dozen words later，it is all the more difficult to learn a new word when you have also to learn the trick to memorize it. 【语篇解读】学外语是否有必要记住所有单词？5．From the first paragraph，we can infer that ________．A．there is no need to know all the words of a foreign languageB．it is hone st to answer“no”to a question you don't knowC．a baby can know all the new words of its mother tongueD．people find it hard to memorize vocabulary of their language解析：推理判断题。
从第一段中的“Be honest，do you know all the words of your mother tongue? The answer is：‘No.’”可知，一个人既然连自己的母语的词汇都不可能全认识，那么在学习外语时，也没有必要记住所有的词汇。
答案：A6．To learn a foreign language，the author advises you ________．A．to remember new words appearing every dayB．to keep up with new ways of using old wordsC．to learn at least 2，000 necessary wordsD．to pay more attention to your bad memory解析：细节理解题。
