六級英語仔細閱讀訓練原文

　　"Unfortunately, the federal law and the available federal funding don't get at identifying andreducing sources or contamination." said Toni Glymph, the DNR toxicologist leading the BeachWorkgroup of state and local health and environmental officials. "We realize those are criticaineeds, but this testing and notification plan is a start. People need to be aware of risks andmake informed choices."

　　Because funding was short ,the DNR categorized beaches as high, medium, or low priority, todetermine how frequently each beach will be monitoree. High priority beaches, for instance,may be monitored five times a week, compared to once a week for low priority beaches.Coastal communities aren't required to adopt themonitoring and notification guidelines in theplan,but the DNR expected more than $200,000 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) to assist communities wanting to implement the plan in summer 2003.

　　Currently, DNR staff are responsible for monitoring beaches at state properties, and tribal andlocal health departments are responsible for other public beaches within their borders. Becausetesting is not mandatory and local communities are not required to follow state guidelines formonitoring beaches,Wisconsin suffers from a serious inconsistency in how frequently beachesare sampled, how people are notified or possible unsafe swimming conditions,and in reporting ofbeach closures.

　　1.[At Peninsula State Park,in Door County.]

　　[定位]第2段首句。

　　解析：原文該段的triggered一詞表明2002年Door縣半島州立公園爆發的細菌事件導致最近很多游泳場被關閉，可見最早被關閉的游泳場應為“Door縣半島州立公園”里的游泳場。

　　2.[identify and reduce sources of contamination]

　　[定位]根據“We realize those are critical needs"和Toni Glymph定位到第4段。

　　解析：本題實際上考查those的所指。根據原文可以知道，those指第4段首句的identifying and reducing...，只要根據題目的要求將兩個動名詞改為不定式，即為本題答案。

　　3.[the U.S. EPA]

　　[定位]根據Coastal communities和monitoring and notification定位到第5段末句。

　　解析：原文該句的數字$200,000及assist一詞表明EPA將資助實施監測、告知計劃的社區，因此本題答案為the U.S. EPA。

　　4.[DNR.]

　　[定位]末段首句。

　　解析：原文該句中的beaches at state properties與題目中的state-owned beaches同義，由此可見，本題答案為DNR。

　　5.[inconsistent]

　　[定位]末段末句。

　　解析：原文該句表明州政府雖然有統一的準則，但并不強制各社區遵守，從而造成了各社區在處理海灘問題上沒有統一的準則，對于這一現象，作者用inconsistency加以概括，而空白處需要形容詞作表語，由此可見，作者認為州一級和社區一級對同一個問題“準則不同”，即inconsistent。
