Unit 3 Life in the future第I卷（选择题）I.阅读理解AFor years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions.Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside.It may be one hundred times worse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired,to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems.Some pollutants(污染物质) can cause breathing disorders,diseases of blood and even cancer.Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.People have paid more attention to the problem now.It is said that when builders began making houses and offices,they did not waste energy.To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside.They also began using man-made building materials.These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.As the problem became more serious,scientists began searching for a way to deal with it.They discovered a natural pollution control system for building green plants.Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution.They believe that a plant’s leaves absorb(吸收；吸引) or take in the pollutants.In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and small organizations on its roots.Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space.Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals.So the most effective(有效的) way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants.Having green plants inside your house can make it prettier and more healthy place.1．Generally speaking,indoor air pollution may be more harmful than that outside because _______.A. indoor air pollution can often make people seriously illB. man-made building materials give off dangerous gasesC. there may be more harmful gases outside the buildingsD. the flow of air indoors is limited,which is very harmful2．Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in _______.A. every modern houseB. every old houseC. all kinds of housesD. all kinds of offices3．The indoor air pollution is caused by _______.A. the limit of the flow of air between inside and outsideB. the building way that the builders want to save energyC. the building things that are made of man-made materialsD. the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow4．The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that _______.A. plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoorsB. plants may take in more oxygen which people needC. plants can absorb some kinds of harmful indoor chemicalsD. plants can make our houses prettier and more healthyBMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail(地铁)Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out.

If current smoking patterns continue, it will cause some 10 million deaths each year by 2020. Half the people that smoke today, which is about 650 million people, will eventually be killed by tobacco.Tobacco is the fourth most common risk factor for disease worldwide. The economic costs of tobacco use are equally devastating (破坏性的). In addition to the high public health costs of treating tobacco-caused diseases, tobacco kills people at the height of their productivity, depriving (剥夺) families of breadwinners and nations of a healthy workforce. Tobacco users are also less productive while they are alive due to increased sickness. A 1994 report estimated that the use of tobacco resulted in an annual global net loss of 200 thousand million US dollars, a third of this loss being in developing countries.Tobacco and poverty are closely linked. Many studies have shown that in the poorest households in some low-income countries as much as 10% of total household expenditure is on tobacco. This means that these families have less money to spend on basic items such as food, education and health care. It contributes to a higher illiteracy rate, since money that could have been used for education is spent on tobacco instead. 12．According to the passage, tobacco affects a family in the following aspects EXCEPT _______.A. relationshipB. educationC. healthD. economy13．The text uses a lot of figures to _____.A. show we shouldn’t smoke too muchB. tell people exactly the numberC. warn people of the harm of smokingD. indicate the writer had a careful investigation14．The underlined word “illiteracy” in the last paragraph means ____.A. great intelligenceB. good educationC. bad behaviorsD. inability to read or write15．What is the best title of the passage?A.
