The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of your house is closed after you.【答案】Acid rain can be mitigated by pouring lime into lakes, rivers and streams and other catchments. Lime may alleviate some of the symptoms of acidification, but its not a real solution, for it is unpractical for many lakes and running water. Furthermore, it cannot solve the root cause of the problems. Before reducing the sources of pollution to a satisfied level, we should regard lime as a temporary measure. The permanent solution is first to decrease the source of pollution. Besides the effects produced by the strict controls in terms of protecting water sources and forests, they will save millions of dollars in aspects of corrosion prevention.城市环境应该尽可能多地提供一些休闲活动，并且这些活动的设计要能够让更多的义务活动也有休闲的一面。如果不能在社区里面愉悦地散步，如果孩子们不允许在街道上玩耍，因为街上交通风险太大，如果在购物期间不能找到一个场所享受片刻的好天气，总而言之，如果你只有在自己房子的临街大门被关在身后时才感觉在家里的话，那最好的生活标准其实都无关紧要了。9. 单选题The extra cost of travelling to work is（ ） by the lower price of houses here.问题1选项A.compensatedB.mendedC.offsetD.covered【答案】C【解析】考查动词词义辨析。compensate “补偿”；mend “修改”；offset “抵消，补偿”；cover “掩蔽，遮盖”。句意：这些廉价的房价抵消了那些去远处上班的费用。选项C符合题意。10. 单选题Children are getting so fat that they may be the first generation to die before their parents, an expert claimed yesterday.Todays youngsters are already falling prey to potential killers such as diabetes because of their weight. Fatty fast-food diets combined with sedentary lifestyles dominated by televisions and computers could mean kids will die tragically young, says Professor Andrew Prentice, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.At the same time, the shape of the human body is going through a huge evolutionary shift because adults are getting so fat. Here in Britain, latest research shows that the average waist size for a man is 36-38 inch and may be 42-44 inch by 2032. This compares with only 32.6 inch in 1972. Womens waists have grown from an average of 22 inch 1920 to 24 inch in the fifties and 30 inch now. One of the major reasons why children now are at greater risk is that we are getting fatter younger. In
