2021-2022学年河北省沧州市献县一中高二(下)第一次月考英语试卷(含答案解析)
2021-2022学年河北省沧州市献县一中高二（下）第一次月考英语试卷ADon't ignore the difference teenagers can make.John Michael Thomas,14，FloridaWhen John Michael Thomas decided to honor his friend and classmate Elizabeth Buckley,who died from cancer,he remembered how much she loved peacocks （孔雀）.He wanted to build a life -sized peacock fountain in Elizabeth's favorite park in the city.He thought it could be a place for people to relax and be inspired.John Michael raised ﹩52，000 to build the fountain.Barrett England,13，UtahThe wheels began to turn for Barrett England when he heard about Karma Bike shop,a place where young people can earn free bike by reading and performing community service.Barrett visited Karma's owner with his idea：He would collect and repair used bikes and donate them to the shop.He expected to get about 10 donated bikes.In the end,Barrett received 39.Zachary Blohm,15，WisconsinThe 25 -year-old playground at an elementary school near Milwaukee,Wis.，was so small that only 70 of its 575 students could play on it at a time.That's when Zachary Blohm saved the day.He and some volunteers wanted to build a huge playground.To raise money,Zac planned T-shirt and bake sales,sold tickets and more.He held monthly money- raising events for more than a year.Overall,he collected ﹩130，000-enough to finish his project.Jack Zimmerman,16，New JerseyFor some people,finding a meal is as simple as opening the refrigerator.For more than 366，000 hungry kids in New Jersey,it's not that easy.That fact didn't sit well with Jack Zimmerman,who organized a drive to lessen childhood hunger in his state.His goal：create 40，000 packaged meals that could be donated to those in need.On game day,Jack and his volunteers started their work.After the final count,the team had packaged 47，124 meals-well above Jack's goal.1. The peacock fountain was built in a park ______ .A. to encourage peopleB. to cure a cancer suffererC. for the love of animalsD. in memory of a teenager2. What did Barrett do for Karma Bike Shop？______A. He repaired bikes there.B. He donated bikes to it.C. He helped it win customers.D. He offered a reading service there.3. What do the four people have in common？______A. They're top students.B. They like various public activities.C. They care about others.D. They're money raisers for the poor.BTo be sure,only children experienced some things differently from those with sisters and brothers.Many feel more pressure to succeed.They also tend to look only to their parents as role models in the absence of brothers and sisters.In India,10-year-old Saviraj Sankpal founded a support group for the tiny minority（少数）of only children.Among other things,the group does volunteer work to fight against the false idea that they are not responsible. "People think we're treated too kindly and ruined," says Sankpal,a computer engineering student. "But I'd like to remind them how lonely it can get."Most only children,however,say they wish for sisters or brothers only when it comes to caring for aging,unhealthy parents.Britain's David Emerson,co-author of the book The Only Child,says that such a person has to make all the decisions alone.Emerson knows from experience.After his father died,he chose to move his elderly mother from their family home,where she was vulnerable （易受攻击的）to house breakers,to a new one with more safety. "The move was quite hard on her,and she might feel that I pushed her into it," he says, "After all,I am left with that responsibility."In the future,more and more only children will probably face similar choices.With working mothers increasing,many families are finding they simply don't have the time,money or energy to have more than one child.As only children become common,perhaps the world will realize that the charge made against them is unfair.4. The author's attitude towards only children is ______ .A. CriticalB. ObjectiveC. HostileD. Unjust5. It can be inferred from the passage that only children's parents should ______ .A. found a support group for their only childrenB. do volunteer work to help their only childrenC. let their only children make all the decisions aloneD. set good examples for their only children6. Emerson decided to move his elderly mother to a new house because he ______ .A. is the only one who cares about herB. doesn't want to leave her aloneC. wants to share the responsibility with herD. is worried about her safety7. The main idea of the passage is that ______ .A. only children are ruined and irresponsibleB. only children have to face many challengesC. most only children want to have brothers and sistersD. most only children share their responsibility with their parentsCSleep,considered a luxury by many,is essential for a person's wellbeing.Researchers have found that insufficient sleep increases a person's risk of developing severe medical conditions.such asobesity,diabetes,and cardiovascular diseases.Now,a new study by Boston's Massachusetts Institute of Technology（MIT）has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Grossman,who led the research.was not trying to find the link between sleep and grades when he handed out to the 100 students in his introduction to Solid-State Chemistry class.Instead,the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wrist-worn device which.tracks a person's activity 24/7，would show a connection between physical exercise and academic achievement.However,the study,published in the journal "Science Learning" on October 1，2019，discovered a surprising insight.Then was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and his/her grade on the 11 quizzes,three midterms,and the final exam administered during the semester. Even more interesting,it was also not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test.Instead,it's the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.The time students went to bed each night was similarly important.Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly,even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher - performing student. "When you go to bed matters.Grossman says.If you go to bed after 2，your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours.So,quantity isn't everything."8. What is the new finding about sleep？______A. It's essential for a person's health.B. Sleeping less may cause obesity.C. Sleeping too much is dangerous.D. Ample sleep leads to better grades.9. What does the underlined word "Fitbits" in paragraph 2 refer to？______A. Wearable devices.B. Questionnaires.C. Fitness equipment.D. Smartphones.10. Which of the following best describes the final result the new study？______A. Doubtful.B. Predictable.C. Disappointing.D. Unexpected.11. What will benefit students' study according to Grossman？______A. Sleeping for 5 hours each day.B. Heading to bed at 3 a.m every day.C. Getting enough sleep while learning.D. Going to bed early only before a test.D"There's no place like home." This English saying has much truth in it: the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head. And for many young adults, it's the only affordable place to stay; somewhere where they can receive first-class service from mum and dad. But this comes at a price!In some countries, it's quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents, but in other places, flying the nest to start their own independent life is very desirable. But there's been a growing trend, in the UK at least, for young people to return home to live-or not to leave home at all.A survey by a price comparison website found that 18% of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt, compared with 8% last year. More young people had lost their jobs, and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year. So, it's easy to see why they're increasingly becoming home birds.The BBC's Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts. But for the 'hoteliers', that's mum and dad, the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply, and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their "big kids". Emma Craig from Money supermarket says, "They're trying to look after their children more. If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially, you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute. It tugs on your heartstrings more."With parents splashing out around ￡1, 886 on takeaway food, buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring, it's easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home. That's before they learn a home truth—that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad!12. Which proverb might present the young British's living conditions?A. A lazy youth,an awful age.B. East or west,home is best.C. Two heads are better than one.D. Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man.13. Which might be the reason for the increase of home birds?A. The popularity of living independently.B. Looking after their old parents.C. The increase of unemployment rate.D. Their parents' financial offer.14. What's Emma Craig's attitude towards home birds?A. Doubtful.B. Uncertain.C. Objective.D. Understandable.15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Returning to live with parents comes at a price.B. Parents are willing to receive their returning children.C. Flying the net is becoming popular at present.D. Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents.The Science of Risk-Seeking Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward,the risk seems worth tasking. (1) Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us.Why？Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work. The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans.Risk-takers were better at hunting,fighting,or exploring. (2) As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from on ration to the next,humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why aren't we all jumping out of airplanes then？Well,even 200，000 years ago,too much risk-taking could get one Killed.A few daring survived,though,along with a few stay-in-the-cave types.As a result,humans developed a range of character types that still exists today.So maybe you love car racing,or maybe you hate it. (3)No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range,scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. (4) To help you do that,your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.New experiences often mean taking some risks,so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.Mean taking some risks,so your brain raisers your tolerance for risk as well.(5) For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active,while for the rest of us,a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking,we'll continue to hit the mountains,the waves or the shallow end of the pool.A.It all depends on your character.B.Those are the risks you should jump to take.C.Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.D.Thus,these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.E.This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.F.However,we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.G.New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.16.

Cambodians about the importance of bird species and the effect they have on nature.H said，"The biggest issue is the damage to habitats and poaching".Besides that，it is due to the demand from the rich who desire wild meat and who consider wild meat chemical-free.His photography work has shown how lack of education and law "enforcement" makes the problem worse.Hunting is at the root of Cambodian culture."Education is very limited，" he said. "And in terms of legal enforcement，only one organization is standing out，and that is the Wildlife Alliance." He noted that the group had carried out a number of successful crackdowns against hunting.But there were few major campaigns on wildlife hunting.as a whole.Protected areas within forests have disappeared at the same rate as forests in other parts of the country Poaching and hunting have led to the loss of animal and plant species in Cambodia.To Chantha Nasak，a wildlife expert，the damage to wildlife habitats is the main reason for the decrease in the number of wild animals.He says the destruction of forests and the use of land for agricultural and other purposes are the biggest threats，as well as the climate change.However.there are already agreements between some NGOs and the Cambodian government to help wild species.Also，Chantha Nasak says some communities are working together to protect wildlife around the country."All Cambodian citizens should join hands in the protection of wildlife，not just the NGOs and the government，" he said. "It should be everyone."（1）What problem did Suy meet in his photography work？A.Cambodians have a poor knowledge of protecting wildlife.B.Cambodians are lacking their culture of hunting.C.Cambodians like major campaigns on hunting wildlife.D.Cambodians have limited education about hunting.（2）How do the rich find wild meat in Cambodia？A.It contains high nutrition.B.It is free of chemicals.C.It tastes delicious and fresh.D.It is a symbol of social positions.（3）What is the main factor in leading to the decrease in wild animals Chantha thinks ？A.The climate change.B.The wild meat trade.C.The damage to wildlife habitats.D.The still-not-prohibited hunting.（4）What is the main idea of the text？A.A Cambodian is teaching the hunting culture.B.A photographer has a good knowledge of wildlife.C.A photographer is struggling with poachers.D.A Cambodian photographer urges to protect wildlife.阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Here are a few of common phrases and the stories behind them.Saved by the bell: This means to be saved from a difficult situation at the last moment. In England in the late 1600s, a guardsman was accused of being asleep on duty. He denied that he (21) (sleep) because he had been awake to hear the clock of St Paul’s Cathedral (22) (strike) 13 at midnight. This was his proof that he (23) not have slept. The judge laughed at the idea that the bells of St Paul’s Cathedral could be heard so far away and sentenced him to death. It was later verified, however, (24) the clock did strike 13 instead of 12 times on that night. (25) (save) by the bell, the guardsman was released from prison and lived to the age of 102.Top dog and underdog: Before the days of electric sawmills, all timber (26)be cut by hand. Two men used a saw to cut the timber. One man stood in the pit and got covered in sawdust as it fell down from the wood (27) (cut). He became known as the “underdog”. The (28) (fortunate) man, who stood above the pit at ground level, was called the “top dog”.Buy a pig in a poke: it means to buy something (29) having a close look at it before. In old times, a pig was frequently put on display for buyers to look at. When someone decided to buy the pig, the seller offered them (30) pig tied in a sack (known as a poke). When customers went back home and opened the sack, they sometimes found that the pig was not as good as the one on display.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.My dear friend Megan, as a solo (31) , is on her dream trip to Europe. Her first destination is London. I am receiving (32) from her and it is more than exciting to be a part of her exotic venture. “London is a mix of modernity and traditions. It is a timeless, classic and evergreen city which is known for some of the most famous buildings, museums and galleries in the world.” she writes, “and the weather is pleasant even though the rain clouds hover over (33)and it pours frequently. But it is not (34) my spirit a bit.”Her schedule for the two days is packed with visits to museums and parks, (35) the vintage side of the otherwise modern city. She is taking a walk in St James’s Park, enjoying the (36)flower display and smelling the roses along the way she messages me. “You would fall in love immediately with the rich spread of rainbow-hued flowers. They say the English are(37), but I am warmed by their smiles while walking and travelling with them in the tube or by the roadside.”At the end of the day, Megan plans to treat herself to a typical English afternoon tea, which is a platter of sandwiches and English pastries and cakes served in an elegant cake (38) and a pot of tea.On day two, she is to visit the Tate Britain which holds (39) from modern and contemporary artists. She will be catching a ferry down the river to Shakespeare’s Gl obe, a replica of an original Elizabethan theatre, which shows Shakespeare plays in the open air. She says, “To know a country like a(n) (40) , look at the art and you will see the world from their eyes.”III.Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Today, there are many avenues open to those who wish to continue their education. However, nearly all require some (41) in one’s career in order to attend school full time. Part- time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the (42) out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. (43) , such programs require a fixed time commitment which can also impact (44) on one’s career and family time.Of the many (45) to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible and accommodating is that called distance learning. Distance learning is an educational method, which allows the students the (46) to study at his or her own pace to achieve the (47) goals, which are so necessary in today’s world. The time required to study may be set aside at the student’s convenience with due (48) to all life’s other requirements. Besides, the student may enroll in distance learning courses from (49) any place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial assistance may be (50) through regular airmail, telephone, fax machine, teleconferencing and over the Internet.Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject (51) tool with every subject. This precludes (排除) the requirement for a student to travel away from home to take a test. Another characteristic of a good distance-learning program is the (52)of the distance-learning course with the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus. The resultant diploma or degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is employed.In the final analysis, a good distance learning program has a place not only for the (53)students but also the corporation or business that wants to work in partnership with their employees for the educational benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. (54) distance learning programs for their employees gives the business the advantage of (55) career-minded people while contributing to their personal and professional growth through education.41.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The Old Man at theBridge——Ernest Hemingway (Adapted) An old man with steel rimmed spectacles and very dusty clothes sat by the side of the road. There was a bridge across the river and carts, trucks, and men, women and children were crossing it. But the old man sat there without moving. He was too tired to go any farther.It was my business to cross the bridge, explore the bridgehead beyond and find out to what point the enemy had advanced. I did this and returned over the bridge. The old man was still there.“Where do you come from?” I asked him.“From San Carlos,” he said, and smiled. “I was taking care of animals.”“Oh,” I said, not quite understanding.“Yes,” he said, “I stayed, you see, taking care of animals. I was the last one to leave the town of San Carlos.”“What animals were they?” I asked.“Various animals. There were two goats and a cat and then there were four pairs of pigeons.” he said, and shook his head. “I had to lea ve them. The captain told me to go because of the artillery (火炮).”“And you have no family?”“No,” he said, “only the animals I stated. The cat, of course, will be all right. A cat can look out for itself, but I cannot think what will become of the other s.”“This is not a good place to stop,” I said. “If you can make it, there are trucks up the road whereit heads for Tortosa.”“I will wait a while,” he said, “and then I will go.”He looked at me very blankly and tiredly, then said, having to share his worry with someone, “The cat will be all right, I am sure. But the others. It’s better not to think about the others.”“If you are rested I would go,” I urged. “Get up and try to walk now.”“Thank you,” he said and got to his feet, swayed from side to side and then sat down backwards in the dust.“I was taking care of animals,” he said dully, but no longer to me. “I was only taking care of animals.”There was nothing to do about him. It was Easter Sunday and the Fascists were advancing toward the Ebro. The fact that cats know how to look after themselves was all the good luck that old man would ever have.56.What is the narrator’s job?A.He takes care of animals in his hometown.B.He protects the people who cross the bridge.C.He scouts ahead for the enemy's location.D.He questions people before they cross the bridge.57.What are some inferences you can make about the old man?A.He's angry; he's confused; he's out of control.B.He's exhausted; he's given up; he's emotionless.C.He comes from a rich home; he's missing home; he's lost.D.He's aware of what's going on, but has little intention of leaving.58.What is the theme of the story?A.Wars disrupt the lives of innocent people.B.Growing old makes you tired.C.Animals are hard to find in war time.D.Soldiers have tough jobs in San Carlos.(B)The Development of MuseumsThe conviction that historical relics provide infallible testimony about the past is rooted in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when science was regarded as objective and value free. Such conviction was, until recently, reflected in museum displays. Museums used to look - and some still do - much like storage rooms of objects packed together in showcases: good for scholars who wanted to study the subtle differences in design, but not for the ordinary visitor, to whom it all looked alike. Similarly, the information accompanying the objects often made little sense to normal visitors.Recently, however, attitudes towards history and the way it should be presented have altered. The key word in heritage display is now 'experience', the more exciting the better and, if possible, involving all the senses. Good examples of this approach in the UK are the Jorvik Centre in York; the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in Bradford; and the Imperial War Museum in London. In the US the trend emerged much earlier: Williamsburg has been a prototypefor many heritage developments in other parts of the world. No one can predict where the process will end. On so-called heritage sites computers provide virtual reality experiences, which will present visitors with a vivid image of the period of their choice, in which they themselves can act as if part of the historical environment. Such developments have been criticised as an intolerable vulgarization (通俗化), but the success of many similar locations suggests that the majority of the public does not share this opinion.It could be claimed that in order to make everything in heritage more 'real', historical accuracy must be increasingly altered. For example, in the Museum of Natural History in Washington, Neanderthal ( 尼安德特人的) man is shown making a dominant gesture to his wife. Such presentation tells us more about contemporary perceptions of the world than about our ancestors. There is one compensation, however, for the professionals who make these interpretations: if they did not provide the interpretation, visitors would do it for themselves, based on their own ideas, misconceptions and prejudices. And no matter how exciting the result, it would contain a lot more bias than the presentations provided by experts.Human bias is inevitable, but another source of bias in the representation of history has to do with the transitory nature of the materials themselves. The simple fact is that not everything from history survives the historical process. Castles, palaces and cathedrals have a longer lifespan than the dwellings of ordinary people. In a town like Leyden in Holland, several families lived together in circumstances beyond our imagination. Yet in museums, showrooms give only an image of the lifestyle of the upper class of that era. No wonder that people who stroll around exhibitions are filled with nostalgia: the evidence in museums indicates that life was so much better in the past.pared with today’s museums, those of the past .A.did not present history in a detailed way.B.were more clearly organized.C.were not primarily intended for the public.D.preserved items with greater care.60.According to the writer, current trends in the heritage industry .A.emphasize personal involvementB.rely on computer images.C.reflect minority tastes.D.have their origins in York and London.61.In Paragraph 3, the writer suggests that some museum exhibits .A.fail to match visitor expectations.B.are based on the false assumptions of professionals.C.reveal more about present beliefs than about the past.D.allow visitors to make more use of their imagination.62.The passage ends by noting that our view of history is biased because .A.we fail to use our imagination.B.we tend to ignore things that displease us.C.only very durable objects remain from the past.D.museum exhibits focus too much on the local area.Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.Despite the fact that American companies have been “global” for a very long time now, many people today inside companies still misunderstand cultural differences. They misperceive foreign- born workers, for example, as too "shy" or not “confident" enough. 63 In many cultures, it is just not appropriate to make small talk with someone you don't know, especially someone above you in the corporate level. 64 For example, if you express your loyalty to a particular team without knowing that of your colleagues, you might put them in the uncomfortable position of having to either conceal their own preference or express something that conflicts with yours. So, you can imagine how challenging it can be for someone from a non-small talk culture to try to fit into a US corporate setting.In addition, the US is basically a“straight-shooter ( 坦率的人)”style culture, where it is culturally valued to tell it like it is. But this isn't necessarily true worldwide. For example, in Japan, people prefer to communicate indirectly, especially when it comes to a sensitive topic. To avoid accidentally damaging a relationship, people approach problems through subtle hints or general statements. If someone were to directly state a problem, it would make them look ungraceful, immature, and untrustworthy. 65Americans tend to be relatively informal in a business context. 66 Many cultures are quite formal, especially when interacting with superiors. In general, Indian culture, for example, is very formal. Indians typically greet their elders and superiors by title (Sir, Mr., Dr., Professor) and never by their first name. This is also the case at the university, where students act with extreme levels of respect towards their professors.The above discussion just hits the tip of the iceberg of the different cultural misinterpretations in corporate America. For American employers to succeed in selecting, training, inspiring and keeping their top foreign-born talent, it is high time that they started taking account of these cultural differences in their leadership selection process.第II 卷（共23 分）I．Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.School uniformsSchool uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the U.S. A. That's no surprise, because they offer many benefits. They immediately end the powerful social sorting and labeling that come from clothing. If all students are dressed in the same way, they will not pay too much attention to their clothing, and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.Some people are against the strict rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students already accept a kind of rule—wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers; school uniforms tear those barriers down.As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. For example, when a man or woman puts on a police uniform, he or she becomes, for a time, the symbol of law and order. The uniform means to the wearer his or her special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. People with different jobs wear uniforms of one kind or another. For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are in school is to get an education.Some parents are unhappy about uniforms, saying that school uniforms will affect their children's “creativity”. As noted above, the clothes students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality. Chances are that they just copy their classmates. While they're in school, their job is to master reading, writing, maths, etc. Mastery of those skills will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.II. TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.68. 随着时间的流逝，一些广泛使用的谚语正在被淘汰。

Researchers at the University of Cambridge discovered that Welsh mountain sheep have brainpower that equals rodents (啮齿动物). Tests found that the sheep can map the area they live in, and some may even be able to plan ahead.Young fish prefer noisy neighborsA new study has shown that young fish like to live on reefs with noisy neighbors! Researchers from the universities of Auckland and Bristol found that young fish looking for a home choose areas where other noisy fish live. The scientists produced all kinds of sounds which had been recorded in different natural environments. The young fish seemed to prefer the sounds of natural reefs, complete with noisy animals! The scientists compared the choice to a music fan wandering around at a music festival, choosing to set up a tent closest to the music they like best!Butterflies are disappearingA new study has shown that 17 species (物种) of butterfly found in Europe have dropped by 70% in the last 20 years.

That helped me a lot.Then slowly I started to understand a few words and sometimes fifty percent of the songs I heard on the radio.I was a secondary school student at that time,so I had learned some English grammar.I want you to know that what was driving me is the love of that landuage.I studied English Literature in university, But I can speak native-like English not because I went to university; it came from hard work and self-study, I used to listen to native speakers of both British and American English almost all the time .I imitated(模仿)their pronunciation, and I practiced even with myself.I also chatted with English people on the Internet.Many of my college classmates couldn’t communicate in English though they were Enghlish Literature students and learned English for at least five hours a day.

We can see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution.

But this is no longer true.Man is slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad to all living things in the world, but it is not only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop the people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from blowing dirty smoke into the air.The pollution of SO2 is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is certain that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it.
