  Queensland has recently started to carry out a water recycling policy.Queenslanders will be drinking recycled water as well as using it for other purposes.They were quickly followed by South Australia, where the government changed their former anti-recycling policies.

  So what is Victorian Government doing? It's bringing Victorians “good news” that they won't have to drink recycled water.Great…We actually have a government that is DUMBER than SA and QLD ones…Good news indeed.Now every Melbournian knows-we are smarter and better than the Queensland folks.Then why are we run by fools?

  Bracks' government has put the State's water protection on the constant force, by using dangerous and awful system for its projects and failing to provide the necessary rules for the industrial needs.After spoiling the water resources for years on end-Bracksie blames the households(i.e.YOU)for water wasteage.Ridiculous restrictions(限制)are made, supported by Dob-your-neighbour phone line.Cars become dirty, grass becomes dead, naked people bathe in the showers…Water resources keep on decreasing.So instead of supporting recycling, Bracks owes it to people's showing no attention.Most of Europe as well as parts of Asia drink recycled water, despite not being in a serious draught(干旱)like Australia.Drinking recycled water is SAFE, if the technologies used are proper ones.

  Meanwhile, the real reason for the draughts-environmental change is hardly being addressed by the State Government at all.Yes, they have given us a target for CO2 20%decrease in 20 years' time, but we question:A, that is not enough; B, that is too far away; C, what is going to be done to achieve those targets?

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。

  As the population of the planet increases, so does the number of homes, businesses, parking lots, schools, airports and roadways.all these structures use electricity and need to be lighted.Humans demand these lights.They want their homes more comfortable and they want their streets sage.The problem is that researchers are fin ding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.

  Less than 10 years ago I drove to a thinly populated section of my town, lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attracted meteor shower(流星雨).The area was short of homes, street lights and traffic.If I did that today, I wouldn't be able to see the meteor shower sa well, and I would surely be run over by a car.

  Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide pollution.if you've ever taken a flight at night, the view is beautiful, but you must remember that all the light you see is wasted electricity is worldwide.

  Additionally, electricity needs to be generated, and the generation of electricity creates pollution by giving off greenhouse gases.This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.

  Scientists are also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife.Thou sands of birds die each year when they crash into highly ighted buildings, as they become puzzled by the light.It has been long known that tiny sea turtle hatchings become lost and follow lights on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.

  Fortunately, light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect.Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce your contribution to light pollution.

(1)

[  ]

C.

Light pollution has nothing to do with global warming

D.

Astronauts can't see clearly in space due to light pollution.

(4)

  People do not analyze every problem they meet.Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a   1   problem.They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people.Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error.  2  , when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing.There are six   3   in analyzing a problem.

    4   the person must recognize that there is a problem.For example, Sam's bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does.Sam must   5   that there is a problem with his bicycle.

  Next the person must find the problem.Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know   6   it does not work.For example, he must determine the parts that are wrong.

  Now the person must look for related   7   that will make the problem clearer and lead to   8   solutions.For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes.  9  , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes,   10   his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.

  After   11   the problem, the person should have   12   suggestions for a possible solution.Take Sam as an example   13  , his suggestions might be:tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.

  In the end, one   14   seems to be the solution to the problem.Sometimes the   15   idea comes quite   16   because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a   17   way.Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖)stuck to a brake.He   18   hits on the solution to his problem:he must   19   the brake.

  Finally the solution is   20  .Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly.In short he has solved the problem.

   Animals can move from place to place, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend (保护) themselves by using both physical and chemical means.
  Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.
  Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animal's teeth.
  Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.
Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液) A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future. 
【小题1】To defend themselves, oak trees use________.

A.chemical means B.physical means
C.bitter chemicals D.sandy materials
【小题2】How does tobacco protect itself against an attack from a caterpillar?
A.Its leaves fight against the attack by physical means.
B.Its roots send a messenger to discourage the caterpillar.
C.Its roots increase the production of nicotine when it is attacked.
D.Its leaves produce poisonous sand to drive the caterpillar away.
【小题3】What would be the best title for this passage?
A.Plants and Animals
B.How Plants Defend Themselves
C.Attacks and Defenses
D.How Animals Eat Plant Leaves
