问题 The air is polluted. The earth is poisoned. Water is unsafe to drink and garbage is burying the civilization that produced it.
Our environment is being polluted faster than nature and man’s efforts can prevent it, Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry. More people and more industry will bring us more motorcars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials. This is happening not only in advanced societies but also among the developing nations as they become industrialized.
Now many scientists are worrying about the possibility of world pollution. Some experts declare that the balance of nature is being so upset that the very survival of human beings in danger.
What can solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man--by his greed and his modern way of life. We make "increasing industrialization(工业化)" our chief aim. For its sake we are willing to sacrifice everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health, and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the country into the cities, eager for the benefits of modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, so in that time pollution has became a serious problem.
Isn’t it the time we should stop and ask ourselves where we are going--and why? It reminds one of the stories about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loud speakers: "I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good new is that we’re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we’re lost and don’t know where we’re going." The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when applied to our modern society.
选项 A、can’t stop our environment from being polluted
B、can speed up the development of industry
C、have failed to upset the balance of nature
D、have succeeded in eliminating pollution
答案A
解析 第二段第一句指出，环境污染越来越快，自然和人类的努力不能阻止它。也就是说，人类无法阻止环境被污染。A项表达了此意。B项说“人类在加速工业化进程”，理论上来说是对的，但不是本文的主题，也不符题意。第三段指出，the balance of nature is being so upset，可见C说法不对，同样D也不对。因此A为正确答案。
