有很多文章可以在書通網網頁鏈接找一下。只能幫你到這里了。

篇一：空氣污染 Air Pollution

In the past few decades, our Earth has changed a lot, but to the bad direction. Among these changes, the air pollutions resulting from a huge number of automobiles and coal-burning is almost the severest. The severe air pollution alarms humans of the heavy load we have exerted on Earth by our insatiable proction and usage of automobiles. However, with the deepening of urbanization, more cars are needed, which will make the air pollution worse. Therefore, the following actions should be taken. First, we should apply the most cutting-edge technologies in order to adopt new forms of energy as substitutes for fossil fuels. Second, try hard to develop possible transportation means, which are enviromental friendly. So that the citizens can rece the dependence on cars. In short, our humans should take responsibilities for the air pollution and have to find ways to solve this problem.
在過去的幾十年中，我們的地球發生了很大變化，但是是往壞的方向。在這些變化中，大量汽車和煤燃燒產生的空氣污染是最為嚴重的。嚴重的空氣污染警告人類，我們無休止的的生產和使用汽車給我們的地球帶來了沉重的負荷。然而，隨著城市化的加深，汽車的需求量也越大，這會導致空氣污染更嚴重。因此，我們應該採取以下行動。首先，我們應該運用最尖端的技術，以新型能源作為化石燃料的替代品。其次，努力尋找可能的環境友好型交通方式。這樣城市居民就可以減少對汽車的依賴。簡而言之，人類應該承擔空氣污染的責任，尋找解決這一問題的方法。

篇二：汽車與環境空氣污染Car and Pollution

In general, there are two ways of traveling, private cars and public transportation. Chinese people should regard public transportation as their first traveling opinion.
一般來說,有兩種旅遊方式，私家車和公共交通工具。中國人應該把公共交通工具作為旅遊的第一選擇。
First, there are so many people living in this countries that make it so crowded. If each chinese people own a car, there will be far more traffic jams and accidents, which increase you impatience.
首先,這個國家住著很多人，使得它非常擁擠。如果每個中國人都擁有一輛私家車，將會有更多的交通堵塞和事故，這會讓你變得更加的不耐煩。
Moreover, there will be far more pollution resulted from cars. Once a car started, it release huge amount of dirty gas and heat, which lead to great pollution and result in green house effect.
再者，由於私家車將會有更多的污染。一旦汽車起動,它釋放大量的臟氣和熱量，這會導致很大的污染和溫室效應。
All in all, Chinese people should take public transpotation into consideration first。
總之，中國人應該以公共交通工具為第一選擇。

篇三：關於空氣污染的英語作文

Once man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.
Today things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources,and polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, human life on earth will not survive.
We realize that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet,with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught.We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear. Yet, we continue to use powerful machines to cut down more and more trees. We see that if rivers are polluted with waste procts, we will die. Yet, waste procts arestill put into rivers.
We know that if the population continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there won't be enough food.What can we do to solve these problems?
If we eat more vegetables and less meat, there will be more food available. Land for crops feeds five times more people than land where animals are kept.
Our natural resources will last longer if we learn to recycie them.
The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.
Finally, if we ecate people to think about the problems we shall have a better and cleaner planet in the future.

從前人類不必考慮保護他的環境。地球上幾乎沒有人，自然資源似乎是無限的。 今天情況不同。世界變得太擁擠了。我們正在消耗我們的自然資源，用危險的化學品污染我們的環境。如果我們繼續這樣做，地球上的人類生命將無法生存。 我們意識到，如果有太多的魚被從海里帶走，很快就會剩下一條魚了。然而，隨著現代捕魚方法，越來越多的魚被捕獲。我們知道，如果砍伐太多的樹木，森林將消失。然而，我們繼續使用強大的機器砍伐越來越多的樹木。我們看到，如果河流被廢物污染，我們就會死亡。然而，廢物仍然被放入河流中。 我們知道，如果人口繼續以現在的速度增長，幾年後，就不會有足夠的食物。我們能做些什麼來解決這些問題？ 如果我們多吃蔬菜少吃肉，就會有更多的食物供應。種植作物的土地比飼養動物的土地多出五倍。 如果我們學會重新利用它們，我們的自然資源將持續更長的時間。 如果人們使用現代的節育方法，世界人口不會增長得如此迅速。 最後，如果我們教育人們思考這些問題，我們將來會有一個更好、更清潔的星球。

㈢ 翻譯英語閱讀

幾百年前，生活比現在更加艱苦。人們沒有現代機器。沒有葯，如今的生活帶來了新的問題內。其中一個最容大的問題是污染。水的污染使我們的河流和湖泊弄臟了。它會殺了我們的魚，影響我們的飲用水。噪音污染我們說話聲音更大，變得更容易生氣。空氣污染是最嚴重的一種污染。它影響到全世界所有的生物。汽車，飛機和工廠污染空氣中的每一天。有時污染的空氣是如此的厚度，它就像在一個城市被子。這種 叫做煙霧。（2）一天哈里斯夫人發現她的一家水龍頭漏水，所以她打電話給她的水管工。三天後，他到了她的家，哈里斯夫人認為男人來的太晚了，這給她帶來了很多麻煩。所以她。「好了，你終於來了。」她說對水管工，」我叫你前幾天。」「有前幾天？」管子工說。然後他拿了一張紙從他的口袋裡，看著它。」這是第二十一，不是嗎？嗯，我很抱歉，但是我來錯了地方，我找史密斯太太的家，不是你的。她打電話給我的第二十。」

㈣ 求英語閱讀答案

先說一下幾大段的大體意思吧。第一段是說在許多城市有許多人騎自行車上班。一個為了有更好城市的自行車組織建立了起來，他們聲明如果更多的人騎自行車上班，將會有更少的汽車，以此減少城市空氣污染。
第二段的意思是這個組織請求政府能夠在主車道上設立自行車專行道，因為當自行車和汽車同在一條車道上時會經常會發生事故。而且他們認為這樣做可以使更多的人進入騎自行車的行列中來。
第三段是說這樣的自行車專行道還沒有被建立起來，因為並不是所有人都認為這是個好主意，尤其是那些商人，他們認為交通量小了，他們的生意也少了。
第四段講的是市政府還沒有決定要如何處理這件事，但想要採取一個兩全齊美的方法。現在紐約中心公園即其最大的開放廣場在星期天不對汽車開放，而且這條通道可能只對自行車開放。
第五段，這個城市的自行車組織仍然不滿於現狀，還在為城市建立自行車通道而努力。
然後來看題目。第一題，明顯是選擇D。A，B，C都不符合文章的意思。這題可以參考文章第一段，自行車組織提出騎自行車來代替坐汽車上班會更有利於城市空氣，即減少污染。
第二題，全文中有兩處提到自行車組織要求建立專門的自行車通道，所以選擇B，其它可一一排除。
第三題，選擇D。在第二段中有提到。
第四題選擇B。因為有兩種不同的呼聲，政府又希望做到讓雙方都滿意，由此選擇B。

㈤ 假如你是李華，你的美國網友來信向你詢問目前出現的霧霾天氣。請你給他回信。英語作文！！主要內容:霧霾

Dear David,

㈥ 防止空氣污染的英語作文

1. Pollution
1. 污染對人類有害
2. 為防止污染，3. 近年來採取了一些措施
4. 然而，5. 污染問題尚未完全解決
Pollution is harmful to human beings. Polluted water causes many kinds of diseases such as diarrhea, enteritis, etc. And sometimes these diseases even take man』s life. Dirty air or air-borne garbage causes stinging eyes and running nose. Pollutants are destructive. They cause runs in nylon stockings and crack rubber tires and they eat away at stone and rust iron.
Measures have been taken to control pollution. In recent years, legislative steps have been introced to control pollution. Rivers are being cleaned. Air is purified, and pollutants are being trapped before they are poured out of chimneys.
However, pollution problems have not been completely solved. Pesticides are widely used almost everywhere. They pollute soil, water and food. They have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Some factories are still using air as a mping place for wastes. Some lakes are still dirty. Quite a few chimneys are still pouring smoke into air and noise pollution remains serious.
翻譯：污染
污染對人類有害。污染的水引起多種疾病，諸如腹瀉，腸炎等。有時這些疾病甚至會奪去人的生命。污染的空氣或空氣中含有的廢物引起眼睛刺痛，流鼻涕。污染物是有害的，它們使尼龍長襪脫絲，使車胎爆裂，侵蝕石頭，使鐵生銹。
為了防止污染，採取了一些措施。近年來，採取一些立法措施來控制污染。河水正在變清，空氣正被凈化，污染物從煙囪中排放出來以前，就得到了控制。
然而，污染問題並未完全解決。殺蟲劑在廣泛使用著，些殺蟲劑污染著土壤、水和食品，使河流的魚類無法生存，使我們的花園飛鳥絕跡，毫無聲息。一些工廠仍然把大氣作為垃圾傾倒場。一些湖泊依然很臟。還有不少的煙囪把煙塵排放到大氣中，另外，噪音污染依然嚴重。
希望對你有幫助！！！

我提供的材料應該可以在線收聽的，你試試吧！另外你點擊我後面提供的參考資料，在那裡你會找到更多。

Environmental pollution is a term that refers to all the ways by which man pollutes his surrounding. Man dirties the air with gasses and smoke, poisons the water with chemicals and other substances, and damages the soil with too many fertilizers and pesticides. Man also pollutes his surrounds in various other ways. For example, people ruin natural beauty by scattering junk and litter on the land and in the water. They operate machines and motor vehicles that fill the air with disturbing noise. Nearly everyone causes pollution in some way.

Environmental pollution is one of the most serious problems facing mankind today. Badly polluted air can cause illness, and even death. Polluted water kills fish and other marine life. Pollution of soil reces the amount of land available for growing food. Environmental pollution also brings ugliness to man's naturally beautiful world.

Water pollution reces the amount of pure, fresh water that is available for such necessities as drinking and cleaning, and for such activities as swimming and fishing. The pollutants that affect water come mainly from instries, farm, and sewerage systems. Instries mp millions of tons of waste procts into bodies of water each year. These wastes include chemicals, wastes from animal and plant matter, and hundreds of other substances. Wastes from farms include animal wastes, fertilizers, and pesticides. Most of these materials drain off farm fields and into nearby bodies of water. Sewerage systems carry wastes from homes, offices, and instries into water.

People, however, may differ in what they consider to be a pollutant, on the basis of their assessment of benefits and risks to their health and economic well-being. For example, visible and invisible chemicals spewed into the air or water from a plant nearby pose a danger to the people nearby and other animals and plants. However, if the installation of expensive pollution controls leads to the rection of proctivity, the unemployed might feel that the risks from polluted air and water are minor weighed against the benefits of profitable employment. The same level of pollution can also affect two people quite differently --- some forms of air pollution might be a slight annoyance to a health person but life threatening to someone with emphysema or another respiratory disorder.

環境污染是指人們用各種方式污染周圍環境的一個術語。人們通過氣體和煙霧來污染空氣，用化學物質以及其他物質污染水源，還用大量的化肥和殺蟲劑破壞土壤。人們還通過其他的方式污染著他們的環境。例如，總有人在地面上和水裡扔垃圾，破壞自然美。 人們使用的一些及其和交通工具噪音很大。 可以說，幾乎每個人都在某種程度上對周圍環境造成了污染。

境污染是當今人們所面對的一個非常嚴重的問題。被嚴重污染的空氣將引起各種疾病，甚至死亡。 被污染的水源會引起魚類以及其他海洋生物的死亡，被污染的土壤會減少種植農作物的面積。同時。環境污染使得人們周圍美麗的自然環境日益變得醜陋。

水污染使得我們用來飲用和清洗的純凈新鮮的水資源不斷減少，用於游泳、垂釣的水源也在減少。水的污染源主要來自工業、農場以及排水系統。工業廢物每年數以千萬噸計地被傾倒水中，這些廢物包括化學原料，來自動植物的廢物，以及上百種其他的廢物。農場廢物包括動植物排泄，化肥和殺蟲劑。其中大部分物體都從田地里排出流入附近的水中。排水系統將來自每家每戶，辦公室和工業中的廢水排到水中。

基於環境污染對人類健康和生活所帶來的利弊的不同估計，人們對同一污染源持有不同的看法。例如，有形和無形的化學原料從附近的工廠排放到空氣或水中，這對於附近的人們和其他的生物構成危害。但是，如果該工廠裝備昂貴的控制污染的設備，導致生產成本提高，因此而失業的工人也許會覺得廢氣廢水所造成的危險與具有豐厚利潤的工作相比真是微乎其微。同種程度的污染對不同的人影響也不同。比如說，一些空氣污染對於一個健康的人來說只是小煩惱，而對患有肺氣腫或呼吸道疾病的人來說卻是生死攸關的。

環保英語閱讀：北京霧霾天氣凸顯環境問題

導語：今年北京春天長久的霧霾天氣致使人們越來越關注環境問題、空氣質量問題。更多的人意識到環境問題刻不容緩。下面是一篇關於北京霧霾天氣的環保英語閱讀，幫助大家學習英語。
Hundreds of planes were grounded in Beijing on Monday and several freeways temporarily closed because of heavy smog and poor weather conditions, underscoring the growing cost of Beijing』s chronic air pollution.
周一，由於濃重的霧霾和糟糕的天氣條件，數百架飛機滯留北京，多條高速公路臨時關閉，凸顯出北京長期空氣污染所造成的成本日益升高。
By Monday evening, nearly 500 flights out of Beijing had been cancelled or delayed e to weather, according to the Beijing International Airport. Monday』s weather in Beijing was cloudy with a light snow and pollution readings described as 「hazardous」 by the US embassy』s pollution monitoring system.
據北京首都國際機場(Beijing International Airport)稱，至周一晚間，有近500個離京航班由於天氣原因而取消或延遲。北京周一的天氣為多雲見小雪，美國大使館的污染監測系統顯示的污染級別為「危險」。
Pollution has been a growing concern for China, which is home to 21 of the world』s 100 most polluted cities, as environmental degradation inflicts an ever higher economic and social cost. This year has been marked by a series of protests over pollution concerns, the largest of which in Dalian attracted more than 10,000 people.
隨著環境退化造成的經濟和社會成本日益上升，污染已經成為越來越受中國關注的問題。全球污染最嚴重的100個城市中，21個在中國。尤其在今年，針對污染問題，發生了一系列的抗議，其中規模最大的大連抗議吸引了1萬多人參加。
Smog is not uncommon in Beijing, however residents have grown increasingly vocal about air pollution in recent months because of a yawning discrepancy between Beijing』s official pollution data and the air pollution data published by the US embassy.
霧霾在北京並不罕見，但在最近幾個月，由於北京官方污染數據與美國大使館公布的空氣污染數據存在驚人的差異，居民對空氣污染發出了越來越強烈的質疑。
On Sunday, when heavy, acrid smog descended on Beijing, the municipal government described it as 「light pollution,」 although the US embassy』s data said it was off the charts. One reason for the difference is that Beijing monitors larger PM10 particles, while the US embassy monitors the small PM2.5 particles that are considered more dangerous to human health.
周日，北京突然籠罩在濃重、刺鼻的霧霾當中，市政府稱之為「輕度污染」，盡管美國大使館的數據表明污染指數已經「破表」。差異的一個原因是，北京方面監測的是較大的PM10顆粒(即粒徑在10微米以下的顆粒物——譯者注)，而美國大使館監測的是更小的、被認為對人體健康更加有害的PM2.5顆粒。
Environmentalist Ma Jun says that the public has become increasingly sceptical of the official data.
環境保護主義者馬軍表示，公眾對官方數據越來越持懷疑態度。
The health costs of China』s air pollution are also high. A 2007 study by the World Bank found that in China 350,000 people die prematurely each year from exposure to outdoor air pollution, with a further 300,000 premature deaths caused by indoor air pollution.
中國空氣污染的健康成本也非常高。世界銀行(World Bank) 2007年的一項研究發現，在中國，每年有35萬人由於室外空氣污染早亡，還有30萬人由於室內空氣污染早亡。
As China』s environmental problems mount, China』s leaders have described pollution as a 「threat to growth,」 but graal policy changes have yet to have a visible impact on reversing pollution trends.
隨著中國環境問題的加劇，中國領導人已經稱污染為一種「對增長的威脅」，但逐步的政策變化對扭轉污染趨勢尚未起到可見的作用。
China is in the process of revising air pollution monitoring guidelines and, e to increasing public pressure, announced last month that the new rules would require cities to monitor PM 2.5, the smaller, more dangerous particles.
中國正在修改空氣污染監測指引，並且，由於公眾壓力日益加大，中國在上個月宣布，新規則將要求各城市監測更小、更有害的PM2.5顆粒。
In another nod to the public outcry, Beijing recently opened its air pollution monitoring centre for public visits, albeit only once a week.
在公眾的質疑聲中，北京方面還做出了另一項舉動：最近向公眾開放了空氣污染監測中心，接受參觀，但每周僅開放一次。
