本篇讲述空气污染对环境和人类造成的危害。空气污染来自工厂、发电站和汽车。文中列举了1986年的俄罗斯一座核电站和1984年印度一家工厂发生的严重事故导致严重的伤亡。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段“Air pollution comes from factories, power stations and cars.”，可知“空气污染来自工厂、电站和汽车。”；故选D 。

【2】推理判断题。根据第一段“And this "chemical rain" gradually destroys trees in the forests and kills fish in the lakes.In Germany,”，可知““化学雨”会慢慢地毁害树木，对环境造成伤害”，所以A表述错误，C表述正确；“.Chemicals in the smoke from power stations cause a lot of damage”，可知“烟雾中的化学物质造成了很大的破坏”，所以B表述错误； “They can travel hundreds of miles in the wind before falling to the ground in the rain.”，可知“它们可以在风中飞行数百英里”，所以D表述错误；故选C。

【3】细节理解题。根据第一段“In Germany, over 50% of the country's trees had been damaged by the year 1986.”，可知有一半的树遭到损害”；故选 B。

【4】词句猜测题。根据 “Many of the injured lost their sight”，可知“许多伤者失去了视力”由此推断“当时博帕尔镇上的煤气是有毒的，才会导致人们失明，再也看不到东西”；故选D。

本篇阅读单选考查细节理解、推理判断和猜测能力。题1、3可以在原文中找到包含题干的信息作答；题4要根据文本的信息一一排除表述错误的选项；题4根据句中的关键词“the injured ；lost their sight”推断“气体有毒才会导致人们失明，失明就是再也看不到东西”。
