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

B。由文章的首句我们得知：世界变小是由于modern traffic and modern communication means(现在的交通运输工具和沟通工具的使用)，而这一切都要靠科学技术的开展，据此我们可以推出答案是B。2. C。原文的第2句告诉我们Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago(今天的生活比以前容易得多)，反过来说，以前的生活一定比今天的艰难，所以答案是C。3. B。在众多项选择项中，只有选项B(noise pollution噪音污染)是听得见的。4. D。我们根据第4段的第1, 2句Air pollution is still the most serious. Its bad for all living things in the world，可以得知空气污染之所以最为严重，正如选项D(它是危害全世界生物的)所说的那样。5. C。选项C可以在原文第2段的第2句找到，但它缺少了前提条件many years ago(以前不严重而现在严重)，所以选项C是错误的。 (2)The office has always been a place to get ahead. Unfortunately, It is also a place where a lot of natural resources start to fall behind. Take a look around next time youre at work. See how many lights are left on when people leave. See how much paper is being wasted. How much electricity is being used to run computers that are left on. Look at how much water is being wasted in the rest-rooms. And how much solid waste is being thrown out in the rubbish cans. We bet its a lot. Now, here are some simple ways you can produce less waste at work. When you are at the copier, only make the copies you need. Use both sides of the paper when writing something less important. Turn off your lights when you leave. Use a lower watt bulb in your lamp. Drink your coffee or tea out of your mugs instead of single-use cups. Set up a recycling box for cans and one for bottles. And when youre in the bathroom brushing your teeth or washing your face, dont let the tap run. Remember, if we use fewer resources today, well save more for tomorrow. 1.
