17.London used to be"foggy"for the same reason that cities like Beijing or Chongqing are"foggy"today.The"fog"was in fact smog,a mixture of smoke and fog.In other words,it was made by pollution.In London,some of this pollution came from factories,but much of it came from the coal that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter.By the 1950s,London's smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean the air.A new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British cities.Within a few years,the air became much cleaner.There were no more."pea-soupers".
Many Chinese cities now face the same sort of problem with air pollution that London faced 40or 50years ago.However,this problem is morn difficult for Chinese cities to solve.One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories,rather than from coal burnt in people's houses.If these factories were closed,it would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs.Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel (燃料),like gas,is quite expensive.
However,the air in many Chinese cities is becoming cleaner,as the government and people pay  more and more attention to reducing pollution.As a result,there are fewer"pea-soupers"in Beijing than used to be.

57.How did the air in London become much cleaner?B
A.There was not so much fog in the winter later.
B.A law was made to keep people from burning coal in their houses.
C.Many factories in the city were closed.
D.People paid more attention to cleaning their city.
58.What does the underlined word"pea-soupers"refer to?A
A.Smog.          
B.Smoke.       
C.Gas.       
D.Coal.
59.The problem of air pollution is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve because of
B reasons.
A.one              
B.two            
C.three        
D.four
60.Which sentence is NOT true?B
A.Air pollution is serious in Beijing and Chongqing.
B.Using coal is much more expensive than using gas.
C.Factories made much more pollution in China.
D.The reasons of air pollution in London and Beijing are different.

分析 伦敦曾经被称为雾都,现在中国像北京、重庆这样的大城市也开始有雾霾了.污染一来自工厂二来自公民用煤,中国的大城市主要是因为前者,而英国则是后者.中国还不能治理,因为工厂关闭意味着很多人失业.随着政府和公民在清洁空气方面的不断努力,空气变得越来越干净了.

解答 57.B 细节理解题.根据A new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British city.可知,英国政府制定了新的法律,在英国任何一个城市没有人可以烧煤.故选B.
57.A 词义推测题.根据前一句的意思,任何人不得燃煤的规定执行几年后,英国的空气变得干净多了.可知本句的意思是:空气干净了,不再有一开始提到的烟雾了.故选A.
59.B 细节理解题.根据One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories,rather than from coal burnt in people's houses.If these factories were closed,it would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs.Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel (燃料),like gas,is quite expensive.可知中国的城市污染不能解决的原因有二.一、更多的污染来自工厂;二、煤改清洁燃料的费用太贵了.故选B.
60.B 细节理解题.题目要求我们判断不正确的描述.A.Air pollution is serious in Beijing and Chongqing.空气污染在北京和重庆很严重;文章第一句话就提到了;B.Using coal is much more expensive than using gas.用煤比用气贵得多.根据Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel (燃料),like gas,is quite expensive.可知,把煤改成像气那样的燃料太贵了.所以与事实不符.C.Factories made much more pollution in China.在中国工厂的污染更多.根据文章第二段可知,工厂的污染大,又没有办法关闭,因为很多人会失业;所以C的陈述正确;D.The reasons of air pollution in London and Beijing are different.伦敦和北京的污染不一样.伦敦的污染是因为市民取暖用煤;北京的污染是因为工厂的原因.所以不一样.陈述正确.故选B.

点评 做题时要在理解好文意的基础上,与题目有机的结合,从文章中找到相关细节性的句子与选项细细比对,进行选择或推理判断,选出符合文章内容的正确选项.做题注意灵活,有时可采用排除法或直选法确定出最终答案.

5.Biologists in Alaska are counting walruses (海象) in the Arctic  Ocean.The aim:to decide whether the walrus is an endangered species (物种).
In 1990,biologists counted 201,039walruses in the Arctic Ocean.Now,over 20years later,it seems there are fewer.After three years of counting,the US Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that there are only 15,164walruses in the area.But,scientists say,"They've not finished counting."
"We're still working on the final population estimate,"said Suzann.She is a wildlife biologist with the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
Endangered Species?
What's a possible reason for the lower walrus count?Brendan Cummings,a spokesperson for
the Center for Biological Diversity (多样性),thinks many walruses are dying.He believes global warming is melting the ice in the waters between Alaska and Russia.That's the area where most walruses live.However,they can't live without ice.
  But other scientists aren't so sure that the walruses are dying out.The US Fish and Wildlife Service biologist Doug Bum said,"We realized we were missing a lot of walrus groups."So the walrus count goes on.The counting hasn't been easy.Scientists sometimes have to guess the number of walruses that are underwater.
US law requires scientists to count the walruses every three years.Then,if the mammals (哺乳动物) turn out to be an endangered species,they will be counted every year.

66、What's the purpose of counting walruses in the Arctic Ocean?.C
A、To study the living habits of walruses.
B、To show the bad environment of the earth.
C、To see whether the walruses belong to the endangered animals.
D、To see whether the Arctic Ocean is suitable for people to live in.
67、What does the underlined word"estimate"mean in Chinese?B
A、创造    
B、估算    
C、分析    
D、制造
68、According to the US law,scientists will count the walruses every year if they areB.
A、missing        
B、endangered      
C、sold out     
D、under the water
69、Which of the following statements is TRUE?D
A、The counting of the walrus is easy.
B、Brendan Cummings is a biologist of the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
C、In 1990,biologists counted only 15,164walruses in the Arctic Ocean.
D、Brendan Cummings believes global Warming makes the walruses fewer.
70、What is the best title of the passage?D
A、Global Warming    
B、Protect the Animals   
C、Biologists'Work    
D、Worry about Walruses.

2.Many heart attacks (心肌梗塞) are not as easy to discover as shown on television.In fact,there are some people who present few or no symptoms (征兆) when they are having a heart attack.However,the common symptoms are chest pain (疼痛),shortness of breath,breaking out in cold sweat (汗).Not getting to the hospital in time may result in death.
The symptoms of a heart attack are not as clear in women as they are in men.Women may experience breathlessness,fast heart beating,light-headedness,chest pain,neck and shoulder pain and unusual tiredness.Heart attacks with few or no symptoms seem to be more common in women than men.
The early warning symptoms of a heart attack usually last for at least 20minutes,during which women may experience one or more symptoms.These include:
Pain in chest
A heart attack usually causes discomfort or pain in the center of the chest,which lasts for more than 20minutes and is usually with a lot of cold sweat.The pain may come on suddenly,start slowly,develop over minutes,or come and go.Women usually have lighter chest pains and so may not take this symptom seriously.
Pain spreading
The chest discomfort may spread to the neck and throat,shoulders,the back,arms and even to wrists and hands.
Discomfort in the upper body
Some people don't get chest pain-only discomfort in parts of the upper body,including back or neck pain.There may be a feeling of choking (阻塞) in the throat,or the arms may feel heavy.
Unusual symptoms
There may be shortness of breath or some difficulty breathing,a cold sweat,or a feeling of being light-headed.
Lots of tiredness
A study of 515women found that the most common early warning symptom of a heart attack in women is unusual tiredness.
See a doctor if you experience one or more of such symptoms.If you think that you are having a heart attack,get help immediately.

53.Women should be more careful with heart attacks becauseD.
A.they are much weaker than men
B.a heart attack is more common in them
C.they don't take care of themselves
