M：Do you have any ideas on how to start our research on the pollution of the river outside our city?
W：Well, since pollution is one of the biggest problems in the world, and polluted water especially is a great danger to health, I think a lot of people are interested in this topic.Why don’t we start with a survey？⑥
M：Yeah, good idea, and then we can also visit some factories along the river. W：Good idea.Many factories pour waste water directly into rivers. We should go and see if those factories are doing that.
M：And of course we can go to the library and look for some books on this topic first.
W：OK. Let’s start there.⑦ Shall we go there now? 听第7段材料， 回答第8、9题。 (Text 7)
W：Welcome to our store! Are you looking for a Ford today?
M：Well, I must warn you that I’m not ready to buy anything today, and I can’t afford to spend much.
W：That’s not a problem. What type of car are you looking for?
M：The most important thing is that the car must be gas-saving—I’d like it to get at least 35 miles per gallon.⑧ It also needs to have quite a bit of space at the back of the car, because I sometimes have to move furniture around. The problem is I don’t want to spend more than $13, 000.⑨
W：In that case，you might want to consider a used car, perhaps a pick-up truck.⑨ We have several that are less than two years old and can still get good service from
the factory. Would you like to take one for a test drive, even if it costs a little more than your budget？⑨

W：You’ve worn that same shirt for the last five years, and your blue trousers are about seven years old now.
M：Hey, that’s OK.
W：Yes, but fashions change.
M：Fashions always change. Every year, every season, even every week, there is something new, such as clothes, smart phones, or iPads. Well, I’m not interested.⑩ As far as I’m concerned, it’s just a way for clothing companies to take your money.
W：What about your shoes? The pair I bought you for your birthday. M：What about them?
W：You’ve had those for two years now, and I can see your smelly socks through them.? You have to buy some new shoes and socks, at least.?

W：What did you do last Sunday?
M：I went to a meeting on global warming. It was fantastic to be around so many people who care about the environment.?
W：Do you think there’s anything we can do to change the damage that’s been done already?
M：It might not be possible to fix the problems that we’ve already created for ourselves , but there are lots of things we can do to fix the problems that we’re creating now.?
W：Like what?
M：Well, we should use public transport, rather than our cars. W：What else can we do to protect the environment?
M：We should try to use sources of renewable energy at home. W：How about recycling？? Does that actually help?
M：Yes. We should take our glass, paper, plastic, and cans to a recycling center. W：What do you think the biggest worry for our future is?
M：I think that the greatest concern is not having enough clean water for everyone.?
W：I had no idea you were such an environmentalist before!
M：To be honest, in order for the earth to continue to be a place suitable for people to live, we’re all going to have to become more interested in the environment.

(2016·黑龙江高二期中)Good morning.Today I’d like to present the findings on wildlife found in gardens throughout our city.
First of all，how did we choose our topic? Well，there are four of us in the group and one day while we were discussing a possible focus，two of the group mentioned that they had seen yet more sparrow-hawks in their own city centre gardens and wondered why they were turning up in these gardens in great numbers.We were all occupied by the idea of why wild animals would choose to inhabit ( 生活在 ) a city garden.Why is it so popular with wildlife when the countryside itself is becoming less so?
The first thing we did was to establish what percent of the urban land is taken up by private gardens.We found that it was about one fifth.Our own informal discussions with neighbors and friends led us to believe that many garden owners had interesting experiences to tell us about wild animal sighting so we decided to survey once every two weeks for twelve months-listing species they had seen and adding the names.Meanwhile，we were doing our own observations in selected gardens throughout the city.We chose smaller ones because they were the most typical in the city on purpose.The whole point of the project was to look at the rule not the exception.Alongside this primary research on urban gardens，we were studying a lot of books about the decrease of wild animals in the countryside and thinking of possible causes for this.
So what did we find? Well，so much that I just won’t have time to tell you about it here.If you’re interested in reading our more comprehensive findings，we’ve produced detailed presentations on the college website.
