The post-war explosion in the use of
detergents (清结剂) was a prime cause for the deteriorating (恶化) condition of
Thames twenty-five years ago. Between 1951 and 1961, detergent use increased
three times. A tragic example of the results of this was when a man drowned
because, though help was at hand, the would-be rescuers could not see him
through the mass of foam.
Previously, detergents had been of
vegetable origin and caused no trouble. The new "hard" (technically,
non-biodegradable 不能分解的) detergents contained elements which could not be
degraded in the treatment plants sewage (污水) works. These detergents decreased
the efficiency of plants by an estimated 30 percent. So when the waste water

Legends about King Arthur have existed since the 6th century. Stories of the man and his doings have grown far beyond anything that could be regarded as factual history. Here are some of the highlights.
Arthur was born as a result of the wizardry of Merlin, who arranged all adulterous liaisons between Arthur’s father, King Uther Pendragon, and his lover, a married duchess. Merlin agreed to do this only if the lovers allowed him to bring up the child born of the affair. When Uther Pendragon died some years later, there was confusion in the kingdom about who should inherit the throne. Merlin arranged a pageant(盛会) where many knights came to try their luck at pulling a sword out of a stone. Whoever successfully extracted the blade, was the rightful king. After many a brave knight had tried and failed, Merlin presented the young Arthur who, to everyone’s surprise, easily pulled out the sword.

A. a brief history of King Arthur
B. the story of the Round Table Knights
C. a legendary life of King Arthur
D. the death of King Arthur

Passage OneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.
For hundreds of millions of years, turtles (海龟) have struggled out of the sea to lay their eggs on sandy beaches, long before there were nature documentaries to celebrate them, or GPS satellites and marine biologists to track them, or volunteers to hand-carry the hatchlings (幼龟) down to the water’s edge lest they become disoriented by headlights and crawl towards a motel parking lot instead. A formidable wall of bureaucracy has been erected to protect their prime nesting on the Atlantic coastlines. With all that attention paid to them, you’d think these creatures would at least have the gratitude not to go extinct.
But Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness, and a report by the Fish and Wildlife Service showed a worrisome drop in the populations of several species of North Atlantic turtles, notably loggerheads, which can grow to as much as 400 pounds. The South Florida nesting population,
A. human activities have changed the way turtles survive
B. efforts have been made to protect turtles from dying out
C. government bureaucracy has contributed to turtles’ extinction
D. marine biologists are looking for the secret of turtles’ reproduction
