二、阅读理解（20小题，每小题10分，共40分）

11．（10分）The earth is about 4，600 million years old. Modern man has lived

on the earth for only 35，000 years, but during that time, we have changed

our planet in many ways. Many of the things that we have done are

good, but more are not good for the earth.

Water Pollution

A lot of people, birds and fish die each day because of water

pollution. Factories have polluted the land and the water. As a result, many

rivers and lakes are now dead.

Air Pollution

In big cities, factories, as well as cars, trucks and buses are the main

causes of air pollution. Many people in cities now have serious health

problems. For example, Mexico city used to be a beautiful sunny capital, but

today it is always covered by thick brown clouds.

Soil Pollution

In order to have a good harvest, most of the farmers use chemicals

too much in their fields. That's bad for the soil. But this kind of pollution

is difficult to stop.

Hope for the Future

These problems are very serious for our future, so all of us should

do something to improve our environment. If we can stop pollution, our

planet will become more and more beautiful and our health will be better.

Let's be greener people!
