第21题答案

参考译文
污染是一个“肮脏”的词语。污染就是弄脏——表土或什么东西,通过引进杂质使其不健康或不洁。污染可以有很多形式。我们可以看见它,闻到它,尝到它,喝到它,从它中间挣扎走过。我们简直生活在污染中,呼吸着它,毫不奇怪,它开始威胁我们的健康、我们的幸福和我们的文明。
我们曾经把污染只是想成烟雾——盘旋在城市上空的那种呛人、刺鼻、肮脏的空气。但是空气污染虽然是最为危险的,但也只是几种攻击最基本生活功能的污染之一。
通过不加控制地使用杀虫剂,人类已经污染了土地,杀死了野生动物。通过将污水和化学物质倾倒进河流和湖泊,我们已经污染了我们的饮用水。我们也正在污染海洋,杀死鱼类,因而剥夺了我们那无价的食物供应。
人口爆炸也是引起污染的原因之一。越来越多的人正在制造越来越多的垃圾。但是,这一问题被我们的“一次性”技术加剧了。每年美国人都要扔掉700万辆汽车、2,000万吨废纸、2,500万磅牙膏皮和4,800万个罐子。我们还扔掉口香糖包装纸、报纸和纸盘。再次利用已经不再明智了。今天,几乎所有东西都可以扔掉。比起修一台烤箱或收音机,买一台新的、扔掉旧的更容易、更便宜,虽然它95%的部件仍可以使用。婴儿尿布以前用循环使用的布制成,现在都变成纸质的一次性产品了。不久我们就会穿上纸质的衣服:“穿一次就扔掉”将成为流行意识的口号。
所有这些到什么时候才能结束?我们是不是正在把世界变成一个巨大的垃圾场,或者我们还有没有希望解决污染问题?幸运的是,已经有了解决问题的办法,有几种办法还十分具有独创性。
答案及解析
it【解析】本句意为…污染’意思是弄脏——表层土或什么东西,通过引进杂质,这使…不健康或不干净。”显然,此空处应指topsoil or something,因为前面已出现,所以用it来代替。
