    　　BEIJING, China-Pollution in China remains very serious as the country's rapid economic growth brings new environmental problems, a minister said Saturday．

    　　Vice Environment Minister Zhang Lijun said China has made progress on environmental protection, but admitted that its rapid economic growth over the past decade has had a negative effect on the environment．

    　　"Our rapid economic development has continuously brought our country new environmental problems, particularly dangerous chemicals, electronic waste and so on．These environmental pollutants(污染物)bring new problems and affect human health, " Zhang told a news conference．

    　　He said that emissions(排放)of traditional pollutants remain high and some areas have failed to meet government standards．

    　　China has pledged to continue reducing emissions this year of three key air pollutants-ammonia nitrogen, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide．The government has also promised to bring down demand for chemical oxygen-a measure of water pollution by l．5 percent from the 2010 levels．

    　　In the last five years, there were 912 "environmental emergencies" involving heavy metal pollution, including several well-publicized instances of mass contamination, Zhang said．Thousands of children were affected by lead poisoning in several provinces in 2009 and 2010 because they lived near metal smelters or battery factories．

    　　Other incidents included a diesel fuel leak in the Yellow River, chemical contamination(污染)in the northeast Songhua River following a flood, and crude oil leakage off the northeastern coastal city of Dalian after a pipeline burst．

    　　The minister noted that rapid development in the next five years would increase the need for China to improve environmental protection and shift to a more sustainable model of economic development from its dependence on industries which consume huge quantities of energy．

    　　China is focusing on clean energy, including solar, wind and nuclear power, as one way to reduce its dependence on coal, which generates three-quarters of its electricity and is also used for winter heating in northern cities．China also hopes the strategy will reduce its demand for oil and gas and increase economic growth and jobs．

    　　Zhang told reporters there was no plan to adjust China's overall strategy for nuclear development but he said Beijing will learn lessons from Japan after a violent earthquake resulted in a radioactive leak(放射能泄露)．

    　　"Some lessons we learn from Japan will be considered in the making of China's nuclear power plans, " he said．"But China will not change its determination and plan for developing nuclear power．"

    　　Around the world young people are spending unbelievable sums of money to listen to rock music．Forbes Magazine reports that at least fifty rock stars have incomes between two million and six million dollars per year．

    　　“It doesn't make sense,”says Johany Mathis, one of the older music millionaires, who made a million dollars a year when he was popular in 1950s．“Performers aren't worth this kind of money．In fact, nobody is．”

    　　But the rock star's admirers seem to disagree．Those who love rock music spend about two billion dollars a year for records．They pay 150 million to see rock stars in person．

    　　Luck is a key word for explaining the success of money．In 1972 one of the luckiest was Kon Mclean, who wrote and sang“American Pie”．Mclean writes his own music, so he earns an additional(附加的)two cents on every single record of the song．

    　　Neil Young who performs in torn blue jeans, sometimes sings to an audience(观众)of 10, 000, each of whom has paid five dollars for a ticket．After paying expenses, Young leaves with about ＄18, 000 in his blue jeans at the end of an evening．

    　　How do the rock stars use their money?What do they do when the money starts pouring in like water?Most of the young stars simply show the money around．England's Eltom John gave someone a ＄38, 000 Rolls Royce car and bought himself 5, 000 pairs of eyeglasses, then lighted up and spelt E-L-T-O-M．He also bought himself two cars, “one for each foot”．

    　　Many rock stars live like Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane．Those performers return from a tour, pay their bills, and buy new toys．Then when they need money again, they do another tour．They save no money and live from hand to mouth．

    　　In the end the rock stars' life is unrewarding．After two or three years riches and fame are gone．Left with his memories and his tax problems, the lonely ex-performer spends his remaining years trying to attract strangers．New stars have arrived to take his place．

    　　A rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below l6℃．Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate．Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world．Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world．

    　　In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources(资源)：land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals．This action affects the environment as a whole．For example, a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests．People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit．

    　　There are two main reasons for this．Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two．Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply．

    　　Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store．More than 25％ of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests．However, fewer than l％of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value．It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests．

    [　　]

    A．

    rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than l6℃

    D．

    [　　]

    We will lose much more than we can gain．

    B．

    Humans have begun destroying rainforests．

    C．

    People have a strong desire for resources．

    D．

    Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests．

    [　　]

    A．

    we can get enough resources without rainforests

    B．
