英語聽力頻道為大家整理的高考英語聽力:可以喝的雨水,供大家參考:)
Yaël: What are you doing outside, Don? It's about to rain.
Don: I'm setting out bottles.
Y: I can see that. But why?
D: For my new business venture. Bottled rainwater!
Y: As in living plastic bottles out in the rain and then selling them as health drinks?
D: Exactly! What could be more pure and fresher than what straight from the heavens!
Y: Maybe water from the a mountain stream!
D: You see any mount stream around here?
Y: Fine. But rainwater isn't exactly pure, Don. It's got a lot chemicals.
D: Like what?
Y: Well, even without industrial pollution, atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolved into clouds makes rainwater at least slightly acidic.
D: Oh!
Y: But here in Indiana, a rain is almost ten times more acidic than natural rainwater.
D: Why?
Y: Well, a lot of power plants and other factories that burn coal to make energy in this Midwestern state. Burning coal releases sulfur and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, which make rain more acidic.
D: That does sound good! What would happen if you drag a rainwater?
Y: Nothing! The acid content isn’t high enough to harm humans, and it doesn’t affect the taste of the water, either. But acid rain can damage lakes, streams, and harm trees at high elevations. Also, acid rain accelerates the decay of buildings, statues, and sculptures.
酸雨
Yaël: Don你在干嘛呢?這天都快下雨啦!
Don: 我在放瓶子。
Y: 我看得出來!你放瓶子有什么用呢?
D: 做新的投資啊。瓶裝雨水!
Y: 就像這樣子把生活塑料瓶放在雨中裝雨水,然后再把它們當(dāng)健康飲用水賣了?
D: 一點不差!還有什么水比從天上直接降下來的水更純凈更新鮮呢!
Y: 或許山泉水可以!
D: 那你在附近有看到山泉嗎?
Y: 好吧,是沒有。但是雨水絕不是那么純凈的。雨水中有許多化學(xué)物質(zhì)。
D: 比如說?
Y: 嗯……即使是沒有工業(yè)污染,空氣中的二氧化碳被云層吸收也會使雨水呈弱酸性。
