历年六级阅读真题练习[7],
We must recognize that environmental health issues do not stop at city limits, county lines, state or even federal boundaries. We can no longer afford to be tunnel-visioned in our approach. We must visualize issues from every perspective to make the objective decisions. We must express our views clearly to prevent media distortion and public confusion.
I believe we have a three-part mission for the present. First, we must continue to press for improvements in the quality of life that people can make for themselves. Second, we must investigate and understand the link between environment and health. Third, we must be able to communicate technical information in a form that citizens can understand. If we can accomplish these three goals in this decade, maybe we can finally stop environmental degradation, and not merely hold it back. We will then be able to spend pollution dollars truly on prevention rather than on bandages.
16. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that the industrialists disregard environmental protection chiefly because ________.
A) they are unaware of the consequences of what the， www.qihang56.comy are doing
B) they are reluctant to sacrifice their own economic interests
C) time has not yet come for them to put due emphasis on it
D) it is difficult for them to take effective measures
17. The main task now facing ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists is ______.
A) to prevent pollution by legislation, economic incentives and persuasion
B) to arouse public awareness of the importance of environmental protection
C) to take radical measures to control environmental pollution
D) to improve the quality of life by enforcing environmental standards
18. The word "tunnel-visioned" (Line 2, Para.4) most probably
A) narrow-minded
B) short-sighted
C) blind to the facts
D) able to see only one aspect
19. Which of the following, according to the author, should play the leading role in the solution of environmental problems?
A) Legislation and government intervention.
B) The industry’s understanding and support.
C) The efforts of environmental health professionals.
D) The cooperation of ecologists, environmental activists and conservationists.
20. Which of the following is true according to the last paragraph?
A) Efforts should be exerted on pollution prevention instead of on remedial measures.
B) More money should be spent in order to stop pollution.
C) Ordinary citizens have no access to technical information on pollution.
D) Environmental degradation will be stopped by the end of this decade.
关键句型

答案和译文
16. B 17. B 18. D 19. C 20. A
译文
破坏自然资源和污染食物的事不断发生，这主要是因为对那些不顾后果肆意破坏环境的人难以追究法律责任。通过立法、经济刺激和善意劝说等防止污染的努力遇到诉讼、个人和企业的否认及旷日持久的拖延--不仅在接受责任方面，更重要的是在有关其处理方面。
看来只有当政府决定采取税收优惠或牺牲生产时，才会主动改变。保护人类的伟大宝库是一项最重要的责任，企业和我们对此的共识何在？如果有环境卫生专业人员到第一线来领导解决环境问题的时刻，这时刻便是现在。
人们正在要求我们，实际上，公众正在命令我们采取积极行动。作为环保专业人员，我们的责任是要改变现状。是的，生态学家、环境保护活动家和资源保护者起沟通刺激人们思想、促进行为变化的作用。然而，正是我们这些人领取了报酬来决定发展、改善和执行环境保护标准，我建议、我们必须负起领导责任。
我们必须认识到环境健康问题并不局限于城市以内、县界、州界甚至联邦边界。在方法上我们再不能目光狭隘了。我们必须从各方面看待问题，以作出客观的决策。我们必须清楚地表达我们的观点，以防媒体曲解和公众迷惑。
我认为，目前我们有三方面任务。第一，我们必须继续主张高质量的生活，这一点人们自己可以做到。第二，我们必须调查，并搞清环境和健康之间的关系。第三，我们必须能够以公民能理解的形式传播技术信息。如果我们能在这个10年内完成这三个目标，也许我们最终能使环境停止恶化，而不仅仅是控制它。那时，我们就能把治理污染的钱真正用于预防，而不是用于补救。
