2024-2025学年（上）榆林市九年级质量检测英语

1、   Hundreds of years ago, life was harder than it is today. People didn’t have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.

Life today has brought new problems. 1.最严重的问题之一就是污染。Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. 2 .Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution to all living things in the world.

Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. 3. Sometimes the polluted air is so thick that it is like a quilt over a city. We call this kind of “quilt” smog(雾霾).

Many counties are making rules to fight pollution. Factories must clean their water before it is thrown away. And they mustn’t let dirty smoke go into the air.

4.我们需要做许多其他的事情。We can put waste things in the dustbin and do

not throw them on the ground. 5.We can go to work by bus or by bike instead of driving a car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.

Rules are not enough. Every person must do something to help fight pollution.

26、We live in a society that is producing and using electronics（电子产品）all the time. How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they’re broken or you want a new one?  Most people just throw them away. E-waste is created and has become a serious problem. It really needs our attention.

Burying（填埋）e-waste or burning it causes serious problems for the environment. Electronics have dangerous things in them. These things can then get into the ground or pollute the air when they are burnt.

In recent years, many countries have started recycling（循环利用）e-waste. Setting up recycling centers is a good way to solve this problem. E-cycling centers could recycle the parts that can be reused and deal with the rest properly.

Another way is to make producers responsible for their used products. This means that producers must take back old products which are no longer wanted. They should then make sure they are properly recycled or reused.

Apple, for example, now recycle people’s used products in China when they are buying new ones. The company will test and repair the used ones and sell them at lower prices.

As for us, we should try to cut down on e-waste. Change electronics only when we have to. And don’t buy a product just to have the latest model. e-waste is a serious problem in the modern  world. We must take actions and try to keep it to the smallest amount.
