土壤、水、阳光和空气是大自然赋予人类和其他生物生存的四大要素。一般的污染马上就能引起大众的关注,而土壤污染一般都看不见,而且引起的不良后果要在几年、几十年甚至上百年后才能显现出来。所以,人们很少能注意到自己脚下的土地正遭受着严重的污染。其实,正如有些专家所说,看见的污染不一定是最要命的污染。跟大气和水比较起来,土壤对污染物的容纳能力要大得多,但土壤一旦被污染就很难[ ]。
近年来,由于人口急剧增长,工业迅猛发展,固体废物不断向土壤表面堆放和倾倒,有害废水不断向土壤中渗透,大气中的有害气体和漂浮的尘土也不断随雨水降落在土壤中,导致了土,壤污染。这些有害物质被植物吸收,然后被动物吃进去,我们就有可能吃到有毒的蔬菜、水果和肉类了。
人类因土壤污染而造成的危害有以下几项:第一,土壤污染导致严重的直接经济损失。对于各种土壤污染造成的经济损失,目前尚缺乏系统的调查资料。仅以土壤重金属污染为例,我国每年就因重金属污染而减产粮食1000多万吨,另外被重金属污染的粮食每年也多达1200万吨,合计经济损失至少200亿元。第二,土壤污染导致食品品质不断下降。我国大多数城市近郊土壤都受到了不同程度的污染,有许多地方的粮食、蔬菜、水果等食物中镉、砷、铅等重金属含量超标和接近临界值。第三,土壤污染危害人体健康。土壤污染会使污染物在植物体中积累,并通过食物链富集到人体和动物体中,危害人畜健康,引发各种疾病。第四,土壤污染导致其他环境问题。土壤受到污染后,含重金属浓度较高的污染表土容易在风力和水力的作用下分别进入到大气和水体中,导致大气污染、地表水污染、地下水污染。
为控制和消除土壤的污染,首先要控制和消除土壤污染源,加强对工业“三废”的治理,合理施用化肥和农药。同时还要采取防治措施,如针对土壤污染物的种类,通过生物降解净化土壤(例如蚯蚓能降解农药、重金属等);或采用一些特殊的物理或化学手段来除污。此外,还可以通过增施有机肥、改变耕作制度、换土、深翻等手段治理土壤污染。

对第四段文意的分析概括,恰当的一项是()。

B.治理土壤污染的方法一共有消除土壤污染源、增施有机肥等四种
C.在所有治理土壤污染的方法中,采用一些特殊的物理或化学手段来除污最为重要
D.治理土壤污染,控制、消除土壤污染源和采取防治措施必须兼顾
根据原文信息,以下推断不正确的一项是()。
A.土壤和水、阳光、空气一样,是人类赖以生存的要素条件之一
B.土壤污染很大程度上是由人类自身导致的
C.土壤污染一般都看不见,而且引起的不良后果要在很长时间以后才能显现出来。所以,人们根本不会注意到自己脚下的土地正遭受着严重的污染

Why do boys and girls in co-education have no illusion about each other?

We can infer from the passage that some parents send their children to receive education other than co-education, because______.

C.Parents think that these schools are perfect
D.Parents hope that their children can acquire as much knowledge as possible
In the angry debate over how much of IQ comes from the genes that children inherit from parents and how much comes from experiences, one little fact gets overlooked: no one has identified any genes (other than those that cause retardation) that affect intelligence. So researchers led by Robert Plomin of London's Institute of Psychiatry decided to look for some:
Plomin's colleagues drew blood from two groups of 51 children each. They are all White living in six counties around Cleveland. In one group, the average IQ is 136. In the other group, the average IQ is 103. Isolating the blood cells, the researchers then examined each child's chromosome 6 (One of the 23 human chromosomes). Of the 37 land marks on chromosome 6 that the researchers looked for, one jumped out: a form. of gene called IGF2R occurred in twice as many children in high IQ group as in the average growth—32 percent versus 16 percent. The study concludes that it is this form. of the IGF2R gene, called allele 5, that contributes to intelligence.
Plomin cautions that "This is not a genius gene. It is one of many". (About half the differences in intelligence between one person and another are thought to reflect different genes, and half reflect different life experiences.)The gene accounts for no more than four extra IQ points. And it is neither necessary nor sufficient for high IQ: 23 percent of the average-IQ kids did have it, but 54 percent of genius kids did not.
The smart gene is known by the snappy name "insulin like growth factor 2 receptor" (IGH2R to its fun). It lets hormones like one similar to insulin dock with cells. Although a gene involved with insulin is not the most obvious candidate for an IQ gene, new evidence suggests it might indeed play the role. Sometimes when s hormone docks with the cell, it makes the cell grow; sometimes it makes the cell commit suicide. Both responses could choreograph the development of the brain. Scientists at the National Institutes of Health find that insulin can stimulate nerves to grow. And in rat brains, regions involved in learning and memory are chock full of insulin receptors.
Even though this supports the idea that IGF2R can affect the brain and hence intelligence, some geneticists see major problems with the IQ-gene study. One is the possibility that Plomin's group fell for what's called the chopsticks fallacy. Geneticists might think they've found a gene for chopsticks dexterity, but all they've really found is a gene more common in Asians than, say, Africans. Similarly, Plomin's IQ gene might simply be one that is more common in groups that emphasize academic achievement. "What if the gene they've found reflects ethnicity?" asks geneticist Andrew Feinberg of Johns Hopkins University. "I would take these findings with a whole box of salt".
