Module 4 Sandstorms in Asia第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力(略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

AEach year,500 million people from 164 countries celebrate World Environment Day on 5 June.It may seem like there is not much that an individual can do to save the world，but there is.One of the first steps is to understand the problems and their solutions.Try to learn about your ecosystem，endangered animals and pollution.If you are well­informed，you can make better decisions about how to save energy and produce less waste.You can also learn how to be a better consumer and not buy products made from endangered animals or which have too much packaging.Also share your concerns with others and find ways to promote environmental education.Help educate people in your community about ways in which they can help protect the environment.The Earth is our only home.We should take good care of it.RecycleMake a list of all the things you can recycle at home and at school and start recycling.In some cases，you can sell the things you recycle.In others，you can turn unwanted items into something useful for another purpose，such as using old plastic bottles for growing plants.Most bottles and jars contain at least 25% recycled glass.And recycling aluminum cans saves 95% of the energy needed to make aluminum from bauxite ore.Recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees,26,000 liters of water,1,700 liters of oil,266 kilograms of air pollution and 2.3 cubic meters of rubbish dump space.Use less energyThe easiest way to save energy is to cycle or walk whenever possible instead of using public transportation.At home and at school，you should only use electric lights and electrical appliances when you need them.There are many other less obvious ways of saving energy.For example，try to ask your mum to buy food which has been grown locally.Why? When people buy food from far away，it takes extra energy to package and ship it by boat，train，truck or plane.Save waterYou can save water by helping your dad repair leaking pipes and toilets.Take short showers instead of baths.Some waste water from baths can be used for other purposes，such as watering plants or washing outdoor spaces.It is important to help preserve the local water quality by not pouring dangerous household chemicals down the drain or into the ground.Dispose of them properly.21.The target readers of this passage could mostly probably be .A.housewivesB.car driversC.businessmenD.students答案 D解析读者对象题。

It finally arrived.David: Thank goodness. The sandstorm just settled down. It grounded the plane for a total of 30 hours!Susan: We are lucky to live in Guangzhou, David. I was caught in a sandstorm in Beijing once and it was the most frightening thing I’ve ever experienced.David: What were you doing, Susan?Susan: Actually I was on my way to meet a friend, but as soon as I went out on the street I knew I was not going to make it. Almost everything and everyone was buried in yellow sand!David: Did people still go to work?Susan: Of course they did.David: That’s a lot. Is there anything that they can do to help the situation?Susan: They are making efforts. They’ve planted a lot of trees around Beijing the last couple of years and they’ve started to sort the garbage, recycle paper and plastic. The situation seems to be improved a little. And the government has been promoting the idea of environmental protection among the people. In a nutshell, I am sure the situation will get better.Key:6. √7.√DTapescript:Students: Good morning. Mr Eastwood.Mr Eastwood: Good morning, students. I noticed that many of us were late this morning. Could anyone tell me why?Student 1: Because of the weather. The sandstorm. I mean. I was on my way to school and I couldn’t even see the road!Mr Eastwood: That’s right. The sandstorm. So let’s take a few minutes to talk about the sandstorms. Could you tell me why there are sandstorms?Student 1: Because the wind is very strong and it brings a lot of sand from the desert to our city. Mr Eastwood: That is also right. However, there’s more to it. The wind from the northwest used to be as clean and refreshing as the wind from the southeast costal line. Can you tell me why it is getting sandy and dusty in recent years?Student 2: Well, I think we cut down a lot of trees, and … I don’t know.Student 3: Because the forests used to protect the soil and slow down the wind, but now the treesare gone, so the wind can come to us with stronger power and is carrying more sand.Mr Eastwood: Exactly. Also, there are other reasons as well. The plants and trees not only protect the soil from being carried away by wind, but also hold a lot of water and keep the air moist. But this idea was difficult for us to understand. We cut down trees for wood, over-graze on the grassland for milk and meat and dig out the soil for minerals. And now, we are in trouble. Student 2: Wow! That’s very scary.Mr Eastwood: Do you know that 500 years ago, wild elephants were still living along the Yangtze River? Did you know that the desert in Gansu and Shanxi Provinces was once covered by forest and grass only 200 years ago? These frequent sandstorms are only a sign, telling us that we must do something urgently.Student 3: Isn’t there anything we can do to help?Mr Eastwood: Yes, there are many things you can do to protect the environment. You can stop littering with paper, plastic and metal waste and start recycling; you can plant a tree in the suburb … There are so many things you can do to help,and the most important one is to educate people around you.

Isn’t the earth getting warmer because of the over release of industrial carbon dioxide?John: Yes, but the environment is such a complicated system. You have to consider other types of pollution and environmental damage, for example, the sheep eat all the grass and turn the grasslands into deaserts, and the next thing is we have sandstorms.Mike: I see your point.John: Do you know that the CFCs released form refrigerators and air-conditioners have already damaged the environment? It is quite dangerous if we just carry on like this-to continue to pollute our natural environment.Mike: Yes, that’s why we should start protecting the environment right away.John: You know in Europe it is already a fashion for many families to spend their veekends cleaning garbage up along the highways. We need to catch up, too.Mike: Very good point.Key:1. science fiction2. system3. sandstorms4. refrigerators5. fashionFTapescript:Jane: Hi, Simon. Haven’t seen you for a month. Where have you been?Simon: Hi, Jane. Didn’t I tell you that I went to Europe?Jane: No. When did you go ?Simon: I went ther for three weeks, just came back yesterday.Jane: Wow! That’s a long trip. So what is it like?Simon: Well, it is so different. I am very impressed with their environmendtal pro tection achievements.Jane: But I thought most European countries are highly developed industrial countries.Simon: That’s exactly what I thought before this trip, but as soon as I went there, even before the plane touched down, I was surprised by the vast green spaces, the clean air and the clean water. Jane: Really?Simon: It’s true. Later I found out the reasons.Jane: So what are the reasons?Simon: Ouite simple everybody tries to protect the environment. For example, in Germany we saw swans swimming in the river and nobody was bothering them, And in Belgium people built many huge bridges across the highways for the wild animals to cross. Here we have a long way to go before we can ever catch up.Jane: I see what you mean. But still, we are making efforts to improve. It just takes time. Simon: Hou is that?Jane: You see, there are plenty of books these day informing people of the importance of environmental protection. And we have in fact planted a lot of trees in the last few years. But you have to understand that we can’t catch up to those European countries over night. As long as we are improving, one day you will see the beautiful swans in many cities of China, too.Simon: Yes, I agree with you .Key:1.b2. c3. a4. b5. bGTapescript:Environmental protection is one of the most serious issues in the modern world. In the last century, scientists were studying the impact of industrialization on the environment. However, in the earlier years people only concentrated on the impact of regional pollution over a short period of time. After World War Ⅱ, scientists started to notice that a great deal of pollution can travel across the entire globe and last for hundreds of years. For example, 30 years ago people accidentally detected a considerable amount of residual DDT, a poisonous pesticide, in the bodys of South Pole penguins. It was very difficult to understand how the pesticide traveled thousands of miles to this uninhabited land. Later research discovered the travel route of the poisonous DDT: it was first applied in the crop fields and then carried to the Pacific Ocean by the rivers, it then entered the fish in the ocean and finally entered the penguin’s body when the fish was eaten. In fact, almost all forms of pollution have a lasting impact on the environment. Chemical waste from a small paper mill can destroy the ecosystem of an entire river; automobile exhaust fields will finally increase the earth’s climate and melt the ice on the Poles; even a seemingly harmless dry battery may poison 10 square metres of crop field for 50 years if it is left to rot in the soil.Key:1. protection2. travel3.

It’s too dangerous to stay around thosetrees.Woman: Thank you.Police Officer: What can I do for you?Woman: I am from the UK here for sightseeing. I rented this bicycle this morning, thinking is would be nice to cycle around and see the city. But I was caught in this awful wind and now I am lost.Police Officer: I see. What you see here is a sandstorm. I am sorry that you’ll have to rearrange your plan because it is too dangerous for you to cycle around in the storm. If you remember the name of your hotel, I will arrange a taxi to take you there.Woman: Oh, it’s very nice of you. I am not sure if I remember the hotel name correctly, though I do have their phone number.Police Officer: The phone number would be enough.Woman: Here you are. Oh, I almost forgot, what should I do with the bike?Police Officer: Just leave it with me, I’II return it.Woman: You are so nice. Thank you very much.Police Officer: You are welcome. Here comes the taxi. But before you leave, I must advise you not to go anywhere near the trees or large signboards because you can get hurt if anything breaks off.
