[00:04.41]Lesson 33

[00:07.76]1.Dialogue

[00:11.60]Jackie is talking to Yang Pei about a conference 1 which Jackie has just been to.

[00:18.96]What was the conference like?

[00:22.41]Very interesting.It was called "Saving 2 the earth"

[00:27.27]and it was all about the damage that is being caused to the world.

[00:32.44]What did you do at the meeting?

[00:35.68]Well, we listened to lectures about pollution,

[00:40.65]agrculture,nuclear waste,radia-tion and so on.

[00:46.81]It's good idea to hold such conferences 3.

[00:51.17]Yes.If we go on polluting the world,it won't b fit for us to live in.

[00:57.94]I agree with you.We've got to so something about pollution.It's getting worse.

[01:04.50]Yes,it certainly is.

[01:07.97]If people don't sop 4 pollutting the seas and rivers,there will be no fish left.

[01:14.14]That's quite true.We've got to think of ways of changing people's habits.

[01:20.38]Well,what else did you hear about at the meeting?

[01:24.74]There was a good talk about the increase in the world's population.

[01:30.10]If the population keeps growing so quickly,

[01:34.46]there will only be standing 5 room left for us next century!

[01:39.45]That's a problem we Chinese must pay special attention to.

[01:44.41]Lesson 34

[01:52.46]2.Reading comprehension 6

[01:56.82]Read the three passages.

[02:00.29]Find the places on the map of the world where the damage has happened.

[02:05.57]EARTH

[02:07.92]The area of desert in the world is growing every year.

[02:12.88]Many parts of the world,

[02:16.05]which once had large populations and produced plenty of crops,

[02:21.51]have become deserts.

[02:24.67]Dunhuang in China,deep in the heart of the Gebi Desert,was once a great city.

[02:31.51]Cattle 7 are one cause of the problem.

[02:35.35]In good years,farmers increase the numbers of their cattle.

[02:40.60]Then one year,the rains fail to come.

[02:44.96]The farmers do not want to kill any of their cattle,

[02:49.33]so the cattle eat all the grass and anything that grows on poorer land.

[02:55.07]If this continues for several years,

[02:58.91]the grass never grows again and the land becomes a desert.

[03:04.06]One suggested answer is for farmers to limit the numbers of their cattle.

[03:09.73]Another problem is that good soil is gradually 8 lost.

[03:14.59]When trees are cut down,

[03:17.93]there is nothing to hold the soil in place on the hillside.

[03:22.68]So when it rains,the soil is washed down the hills and into the rivers.

[03:28.64]Strong winds can also blow away the valuable soil

[03:33.68]that lies on the top of the fields.

[03:37.76]AIR

[03:40.21]Air pollution comes from factories,power stations and cars.

[03:46.27]Chemicals in the smoke from power stations cause a lot of damage.

[03:52.02]They can travel hundreds of miles in the wind,

[03:56.38]before falling to the ground in the rain.

[04:00.33]But this "chemical rain"

[04:03.98]gradually destroys trees in the forests and kills fish in the lakes.

[04:10.25]In Germany,over 50% of the country's trees had been damaged by the year 1986.

[04:19.00]Time and time again there ate serious accidents that pollute the air.

[04:25.25]In 1986 there was a bad accident at a nuclear power station in Russia.

[04:32.69]A cloud of radiation crossed the whole of Europe.

[04:37.84]It is said that 125,000 people died in Russia

[04:43.77]as a result of illnesses caused by this accident.

[04:48.52]In 1984 there was a serious accident at a factory in India

[04:54.69]and a cloud of dangeous gas covered the town of Bhopal.

[05:00.15]Over 2500 people were killed that night,

[05:05.74]and hundreds of thousands of people were injured 9.

[05:13.00]WATER

[05:15.45]Water pollution is caused by waste from factories and cities.

[05:21.62]Oceans are able to clean themselves,

[05:25.77]but certain seas,once they become dirty,are not able to do so.

[05:32.23]One example is the mediterranean 10 which lies between Europe and Africa.

[05:38.78]It has only one narrow entrance to the ocean in the west.

[05:44.24]One quarter of the shores of the Mediterranean are polluted 11


[05:49.81]and are no longer safe for swimming,

[05:53.75]as a lot of diseases 12 are present in the water.

[05:58.19]In most places it is not safe to eat the fish.

[06:03.26]Lakes also have the same problems.

[06:07.31]Lake Baikal in Asia was once the cleanest in the world,

[06:12.66]with over 700 different kinds of plant and animal life.

[06:18.54]Now,however,the waters of this great lake,

[06:23.58]which is also the world's deepest (over 1,740 metres),

[06:31.05]have been dirtied by waste from a chemical factory.

[06:36.02]In 1989 an oil tanker 13 hit a rock off the northwest coast of Alaska.

[06:43.77]35,000 tons of oil poured into the sea.

[06:49.34]The accident was one of the worst in history.

[06:53.88]More than 34,000 birds and 10,000 animals were killed.

[07:00.65]4,800 square kilometres of ocean were polluted.

[07:06.81]Lesson 35

[07:14.96]1.Reading comprehension

[07:19.54]ANIMALS IN DANGER

[07:23.01]Three billion years after life began,

[07:27.56]the earth is now the home to many different kinds of living things

[07:33.12]- perhaps five to ten million kinds.

[07:37.27]However,many of these are dying 14 out.

[07:41.64]It is thought that between the years 1550 and 1950

[07:47.83]an average of one kind of living thing died out each year.

[07:53.39]By 1985 this had risen to one per day.

[07:58.85]Between 1980 and 2010

[08:03.60]we may lose another half a million different kinds of living things.

[08:09.46]There are many reasons for animals dying out,

[08:13.92]but the most important one is the part that humans have played.

[08:19.49]First,many animals have been killed for food.

[08:24.35]Second,many of the places where these animals used to live have been destroyed.

[08:31.11]Dry lands have been watered.

[08:34.59]Wet lands have been turned into fields.

[08:38.84]Forests have been cleared.

[08:42.19]Much land has either been changed to farmland 15 or used for building.

[08:48.14]Polluted rivers and lakes have also been a cause of death.

[08:53.50]One exaple of an animal in danger is the tiger.

[08:58.46]There are three types of tiger living in China:

[09:02.72]the South China,the Northeastern,and the Bengal.

[09:07.89]In all there are probably no more than a total of 400 tigers left in China.

[09:14.95]Many of the forests where they lived were destroyed.

[09:19.49]Also,tigers were hunted and killed

[09:23.75]until in many areas the entire population had disappeared.

[09:29.39]In 1900 there were about 100,000 tigers in Asia.

[09:35.66]In 1970 when the shooting 16 of tigers was stopped there were just 5,000 left.

[09:43.11]In India,however,the population of tigers has increased,

[09:48.67]from 2,000 in 1972 to about 5,000 in 1989.

[09:56.04]Perhaps the same progress can be made in China.

[10:01.00]3.Reading comprehension

[10:05.26]Read the text and mark all the past participles which you can find in it.

[10:11.32]A DAY IN THE FOREST

[10:14.48]Last Monday our class went on an organized trip to a forest to study the wildlife.

[10:21.92]We travelled by bus.It took us two and a half hours to get to the forest.

[10:28.69]When we arrived,we were given printed question papers 17.

[10:34.02]We had to fill in the answers in our notebooks.

[10:38.48]The purpose of the trip

[10:41.54]was to record all the wildlife and plants that we could find in the forest.

[10:47.78]Whenever we found an unknown plant,we wrote "unknown" in our notebooks.

[10:53.95]If none of us knew the name of the plant,we wrote "unknown" in our notebooks.

[11:00.92]The gate into the forest was open,so we entered it.

[11:05.68]We all started looking for new types of plant.

[11:09.83]Sun Yao,our monitor and I remembered a programme that a well-known

[11:15.89]film direcor had made about the forest.

[11:20.15]She had shown pictures of a plant that had recently been discovered.

[11:25.61]She had not said,however,where it could be found.

[11:30.47]She said it was a well-kept secret.

[11:34.31]We decided 18 to try and find this plant.

[11:38.57]We had our picnic lunch in the forest next to a fallen tree.

[11:43.92]After lunch we put some water into a bottle


[11:48.28]and did tests to see if it was polluted.

[11:52.65]We were all very interested to see the results.

[11:57.11]In fact,the water was not at all polluted.

[12:01.66]In the afternoon,we all went off separately 19 to look for new plants.

[12:07.72]At five o'clock we started walking bacd to the entrance to the forest.

[12:13.49]Suddenly someone said,"Has anyone seen Sun Yao?He must be lost."

[12:20.26]Three of us walked back about one kilometre and found Sun Yao.

[12:25.72]He was busy measuring a plant and taking photographs of it.

[12:31.07]Pointing to the young plant,

[12:34.31]he asded me if that was the type of plant we had ween in the film.

[12:39.48]To my great joy,the plant did look exactly like what we were looking for.

[12:45.83]All of us felt very happy
