WhenwerethePCBsbannedintheUK?
[解析]新闻开头提到多氯联苯（PCB）从20世纪20年代被制作出来后，于1981年被英国所禁止。
故C正确。
A“1920年”是PCB问世的时间。
B“1979年”是在美国被禁止的时间。
D“1987年”是被欧盟的其他国家禁止的时间。
4.
A.Theyhavegreatinfluenceonpeople'shealth.
B.Theyexistpermanentlyintheenvironment.
C.Theirproductionistoomassivetocontrol.
D.Theyworkinthetopofthefoodchain.
答案:
A[听力原文]
WhyshouldPCBsbebannedaccordingtothenewsreport?
[解析]新闻中提到，人们发现多PCB在很大程度上会危害人类和动物的健康（haveawide-rangingimpactonhumanandanimalhealth），包括引发癌症、抑制免疫系统以及导致生殖问题。
A中的greatinfluence和people'shealth是对原文的同义改写，故选A。
B“它们在环境中永久存在”在新闻中有提到，但这并不是PCB被禁的原因。
C“它们的产量多得难以控制”和D“它们在食物链顶端起作用”均与新闻内容不符。
5.
A.Therearen'tanyPCBsinEurope'swaters.
B.1,000killerwhalesanddolphinscarryPCBs.
C.ThereisnorelationbetweenPCBsandenvironment.
D.PCBsstillexistinEuropeanwhales.
答案:
D[听力原文]
WhatdowelearnaboutPCBsfromtheresearch?
[解析]新闻的最后提到，杰普森博士解释说其研究结果显示PCB仍然存在于欧洲的鲸类中。
故D正确。
新闻中提到有很多PCB流入河流和河口，最终流入了海洋环境，故A“欧洲的水体没有PCB”与新闻不符。
研究人员分析了欧洲海域的1000多个虎鲸和海豚的样本，并不表示有1000条虎鲸和海豚携带了PCB，故B错误。
整篇新闻都涉及了PCB和环境污染的联系，故C不对。

What'sthemainreasonforthedroppinginnewhomesales?
[解析]本题问及销量下降的主要原因是什么。
新闻指出，预计11月份到期的首次购买抵税的延长促使销售下降。
