　　在日復(fù)一日的學(xué)習(xí)、工作或生活中，大家都不可避免地會接觸到作文吧，作文是經(jīng)過人的思想考慮和語言組織，通過文字來表達(dá)一個主題意義的記敘方法。相信很多朋友都對寫作文感到非常苦惱吧，以下是小編精心整理的英語閱讀理解作文，僅供參考，希望能夠幫助到大家。

　　Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

　　The worlds environment is surprisingly healthy. Discuss. If that were an examination topic, most students would tear it apart, offering a long list of plaints: from local smog(煙霧)to global climate change, from the felling(砍伐)of forests to the extinction of species. The list would largely be accurate, the concern legitimate. Yet the students who should be given the highest marks would actually be those who agreed with the statement. The surprise is how good things are, not how bad.

　　After all, the worlds population has more than tripled during this century, and world output has risen hugely, so you would expect the earth itself to have been affected. Indeed, if people lived, consumed and produced things in the same way as they did in 1900 , the world by now would be a pretty disgusting place: smelly, dirty, toxic and dangerous.

　　But they dont. The reasons why they dont, and why the environment has not been ruined, have to do with prices, technological innovation, social change and government regulation in response to popular pressure. That is why todays environmental problems in the poor countries ought, in principle, to be solvable.

　　Raw materials have not run out, and show no sign of doing so. Logically, one day they must: the planet is a finite place. Yet it is also very big, and man is very ingenious. What has happened is that every time a material seems to be running short, the price has risen and, in response, people have looked for new sources of supply, tried to find ways to use less of the materials, or looked for a new substitute. For this reason prices for energy and for minerals have fallen in real terms during the century. The same is true for food. Prices fluctuate, in response to harvests, natural disasters and political instability; and when they rise, it takes some time before new sources of supply bee available. But they always do, assisted by new farming and crop technology. The long-term trend has been downwards.
