【解析】

試題分析：本文通過現(xiàn)在與過去情況的對(duì)比,提出了保護(hù)環(huán)境的重要性。人們知道捕魚太多會(huì)造成漁業(yè)資源的枯竭，也知道如果過多砍伐樹木會(huì)造成森林的消失，更知道過量的廢物排放會(huì)造成河流的污染,然而人們對(duì)此還是明知故犯，作者對(duì)此類現(xiàn)象在文中進(jìn)行了分析,而且提出了相應(yīng)的解決方法。

1.C考查對(duì)上下文的推理判斷能力。根據(jù)下文There were few people on the earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.可知此處是講述過去的情況,而C選項(xiàng)In the past, man didn’t have to think about…..也是講述過去的狀況，所以C選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容符合語境,故答案選C.

2.F考查對(duì)上下文的推理判斷能力。上文作者提到世界人口的激增與污染等問題,縱觀選項(xiàng),F項(xiàng)內(nèi)容涉及到了這些現(xiàn)象的后果,故能承接上文,答案選F.

3.D考查對(duì)上下文的推理判斷能力。根據(jù)副詞 However可知此處內(nèi)容是關(guān)于污染的,而且和in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故答案選D.

4.A考查對(duì)上下文的推理判斷能力。在本段中作者提到了一些解決問題的方法,比如生產(chǎn)糧食的土地比飼養(yǎng)動(dòng)物的土地能夠養(yǎng)活更多的人,因此人們要多吃蔬菜,少吃肉, 以及控制人口增長等,由此判斷A選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容能夠起到引領(lǐng)下文的作用,故答案選A.

5.G考查對(duì)上下文的推理判斷能力。作者在本段中提到了一些解決問題的方法,比如控制人口增長等 ，而G選項(xiàng)”學(xué)會(huì)資源再利用”也是解決問題的方法之一,內(nèi)容符合語境,由此判斷G為正確選項(xiàng).
