The Truth about the Environment
For many environmentalists, the world seems to be getting worse. They have developed a hit-list of our main fears: that natural resources are running out; that the population is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat; that species are becoming extinct in vast numbers, and that the planet's air and water are becoming ever more polluted.
But a quick look at the facts shows a different picture. First, energy and other natural resources have become more abundant, not less so, since the book The Limits to Growth was published in 1972 by a group of scientists. Second, more food is now produced per head of the world's population than at any time in history. Fewer people are starving. Third, although species are indeed becoming extinct, only about 0.7% of them are expected to disappear in the next 50 years, not 25-50%, as has so often been predicted. And finally, most forms of environmental pollution either appear to have been exaggerated, or are temporary-associated with the early phases of industrialisation and therefore best cured not by restricting economic growth, but by accelerating it. One form. of pollution—the release of greenhouse gases that causes global warming—does appear to be a phenomenon that is going to extend well into our future, but its total impact is unlikely to pose a devastating problem.
Yet opinion polls suggest that many people nurture the belief that environmental standards are declining and many factors seem to cause this disjunction between perception and reality.
Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find.
Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully.
There is a saying that it is so noisy that you can't hear yourself think . Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don't, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems.
Noise adds more tension(紧张)to a society that already faces enough stress.
But noise is not a new problem, In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that government stopped chariots(四轮马车) from moving through the streets at night!
Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. We cannot return to the "good old days" of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise- if we shout loudly enough about it.
Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study？ ______
A．Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beings.
B．Because the world is becoming more and more noisy.
C．Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollution.
D．Because people knew little about noise before.
Passage 2 In the past two years, millions of Americans have suddenly taken an interest in the bicycle as if it were a startling new invention. Annual bike sales doubled between 1960 and 1970, and there are nearly 70 million bikes in the United States today. That’s more than two for every three automobiles. Of course, the bike has been around for more than 150 years, and this isn’t America’s first bicycle boom(兴旺). A wave of bike enthusiasm swept the land in the late 1800s and bicycle production hit two million units in 1897. Then with the coming of the auto, bicycling declined, and for decades remained popular only with children and a few adults. Now, national concern with air pollution and physical fitness has brought the bike back to the forefront ― particularly with adults. More than eight million bikes were sold in the United States last year and a third of them went to adults. The year before, only 15 percent of new bike sales were for adults. 36. In the United States, the bicycle is______.
A、A. becoming popular again
B、B. creating traffic problems
C、C. popular chiefly with children
D、D. replacing the family car
