【题目】Directions : Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Environmental pollution kills 1. 7 million children under the age of five every year worldwide. This is according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO warns that child deaths will increase greatly if pollution continues to worsen.
The most common causes of death among children aged one month to five years are diarrhea, malaria and pneumonia. This is according to the WHO. 【1】 This means providing access to safe water and sanitation, limiting exposure to dangerous chemicals, and improving waste management.
【2】 The WHO estimates that air pollution is responsible for about 6. 5 million premature, or early, deaths every year. That number includes nearly 600, 000 deaths of children under age five. Most of these deaths take place in developing countries.
Air pollution is a leveler between rich and poor, according to WHO environment and health chief Maria Neira. 【3】 And one of the most important ways to reduce air pollution is to produce cleaner fuels for cooking and heating. “Almost half of the world population is using dirty fuels for cooking, heating, and lighting at home. And, this is affecting very much mothers who are staying and cooking at home, but the children who are around mothers -- they are exposed as well. ” Early exposure to harmful pollutants can lead to increased risk of chronic respiratory disease, asthma, heart disease, stroke and cancer later in life.
Cleaning up how the world cooks, heats and lights homes and other buildings is a big- picture goal. The WHO is advising government departments and industries such as construction and the health sector to work together to clean up their environment.
【4】 The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency has the following suggestions:
Avoid walking where there is a high volume of vehicle traffic.
Equip homes with air filters and air conditioning units.
Limit your time outside if you live in an area that issues warnings about air quality.
Wear high-grade, rated face masks tightly to the face when air quality is poor.
Remove your clothes and wash immediately after entering your house if you live or commute in a very polluted area.
A. However, of all the environmental pollutants, air pollution is being called the most dangerous.
B. But what can individuals do to limit our family's exposure to air pollution?
C. Therefore, the WHO stresses that governments around the world need to take the lead on ensuring that children grow up in a clean environment.
D. The organization also says reducing environmental risks can prevent such deaths.
E. A polluted environment is a deadly one—particularly for young children.
F. Everybody, she says, needs to breathe.

【1】D

【题目】 According to a team of researchers,an animal's ability to perceive(感知)time is linked to their pace of life.
“Our results lend support to the importance of time perception in animals where the ability to perceive time in a very short time may be the difference between life and death for fast moving creatures." commented lead author Kevin Healy from Trinity College Dublin.
The study was done with a variety of animals using phenomenon based on the maximum speed of flashes of light an individual can see before the light source is seen as constant. Dogs,for example,have eyes with a refresh rate higher than humans.
One example of this phenomenon at work,the authors say,is the housefly and its ability to avoid being hit. The research showed flies “observe motion in a shorter time than our own eyes can achieve,"which allows them to avoid being hit.
Professor Graeme Ruxton of the University of St Andrews in Scotland,who worked jointly on the research project,said in a statement,“Having eyes that send updates to the brain at much higher frequencies than our eyes do is of no value if the brain cannot process that information equally quickly. Thus,this work highlights the impressive abilities of even the smallest animal brains. Flies might not be deep thinkers,but they can make good decisions very quickly. ”
In comparison,the tiger beetle(虎甲虫)runs faster than its eyes can keep up,basically becoming blind,which requires it to stop periodically to re-evaluate its prey's(猎物)position.
Our results suggest that time perception offers an as yet unstudied dimension along which animals can specialize and there is considerable range to study this system in more detail.
【1】What is the research mentioned in the passage mainly about?
A.Pace of life of animals.B.Impressive abilities of animals.
C.Lifetime of small animals.D.Time perception of animals.
【2】What does Kevin Healy's comment mean in Para.2?
A.The survival of fast moving animals relies on their ability to perceive time.
B.Animals with quicker pace of life have better perception of time.
C.The ability of animals to perceive time depends on their high moving speed.
D.Animals with poor ability of time perception have a shorter life.
【3】Why can houseflies avoid being hit?
A.They can think very deeply before they act.
B.They can process the information as quickly as they receive it.
C.They can fly much faster than their eyes can keep up.
D.They can send information to brain more quickly than to their eyes.
【4】What will a tiger beetle have to do to catch a moving prey?
A.Slow down to gain its time perception.
B.Prevent itself from becoming blind.
C.Stop occasionally to spot the prey again.
D.Try to run as fast as it can.
