Wilma Subra had no intention of becoming a public speaker. After graduating from college with degrees in chemistry and microbiology, she went to work at Gulf South Research Institute in Louisiana. As part of her job, she conducted field research on toxic substances in the environment, often in minority communities located near large industrial polluters. She found that many families were being exposed to high, sometimes deadly, levels of chemicals and other toxic substances, but she was not allowed to make her information public.
Frustrated by these restrictions, Subra left her job in 1981, created her own company, and has devoted the past two decades to helping people fight back against giant industrial polluters. She works with families and community groups to conduct environmental tests, interpret test results, and organize for change. Because of her efforts, dozens of toxic sites across the country have been cleaned up, and one chemical industry spokesperson calls her "a top gun" for the environmental movement.
How has Wilma Subra achieved all this? Partly through her scientific training, partly through her commitment to environmental justice. But just as important is her ability to communicate with people through public speaking. "Public speaking," she says, "is the primary vehicle I use for reaching people."
If you had asked Subra before 1981, "Do you see yourself as a major public speaker?" She would have laughed at the idea. Yet today she gives more than 100 presentations a year. Along the way she has lectured at Harvard, testified before Congress, and addressed audiences in 40 states, as well as in Mexico, Canada, and Japan.
Questions 26-30 are based on the passage you have just heard:
26. What did Wilma Subra do as part of her job while working at Gulf South Research Institute?
27. Why did Wilma Subra leave her job in 1981?
28. What results have Wilma Subra’s efforts had in the past two decades?
29. What does the speaker say has contributed to Wilma Subra’s success?
30. Which of the following countries hasn’t she ever been to give an address to?
选项
A、She engaged in field research on environmental pollution.
B、She helped families move away from industrial polluters.
C、She taught chemistry and microbiology courses in a college.
D、She gave lectures on how to become a public speaker.
答案
A
解析
“As part of her job,she conducted field research on toxic substances in the environment,often in minority communities located near large industrial polluters.”句意:她工作的一部分是,对环境的有毒物质进行现场的调查,经常在工业污染源严重的少数民族居住区。由此可推知她从事环境污染研究。
