said china has made progress on environmental protection, but admitted that its rapid economic growth over the past decade has had a negative effect on the environment.our rapid economic development has continuously brought our country new environmental problems, particularly dangerous chemicals, electronic waste and so on. these environmental pollutants (污染物) bring new problems and affect human health, zhang told a news conference.he said that emissions(排放)of traditional pollutants remain high and some areas have failed to meet government standards.china has pledged（保證）to continue reducing emissions this year of three key air pollutants- ammonia nitrogen, sulfur dioxide（二氧化硫）and nitrogen oxide. the government has also promised to bring down demand for chemical oxygen-a measure of water pollution by l.5 percent from the 2010 levels.in the last five years, there were 912 environmental emergencies involving heavy metal pollution, including several well-publicized instances of mass contamination, zhang said. thousands of children were affected by lead poisoning(鉛中毒) in several provinces in 2009 and 2010 because they lived near metal smelters or battery factories.other incidents included a diesel fuel leak(漏) in the yellow river, chemical contamination(污染) in the northeast songhua river following a flood, and crude oil leakage off the northeastern coastal city of dalian after a pipeline burst(爆炸).the minister noted that rapid development in the next five years would increase the need for china to improve environmental protection and change to a more sustainable(可持續(xù)的) model of economic development from its dependence on industries which consume huge quantities of energy.china is focusing on clean energy, including solar（太陽的）, wind and nuclear power（核能）, as one way to reduce its dependence on coal, which generates three-quarters of its electricity and is also used for winter heating in northern cities. china also hopes the strategy will reduce its demand for oil and gas and increase economic growth and jobs.zhang told reporters there was no plan to adjust chinas overall strategy for nuclear development but he said beijing will learn lessons from japan after a violent earthquake resulted in a radioactive leak(放射能泄露).some lessons we learn from japan will be considered in the making of chinas nuclear power plans, he said. but china will not change its determination and plan for developing nuclear power.66. according to the minister, the pollution problem requires china to_.a. slow its economic developmentb. ask industries to meet their own standardsc. depend on industries consuming large amounts of energyd. change its economic development model67. from the text, we can know water pollution is partly measured by_.a. the demand for chemical oxygen b. the amount of waste gas emissionsc. the degree of heavy metal pollution d. the number of environmental pollutants68. according to the text, which of the following is true?a. rapid
