Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露) to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problems,but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风) within as little as a few hours after exposure.In one review of the research,scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物) were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure.A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好) quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure. The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure.However,it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices.So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health. 1.The text mainly discusses the relationship between . A.heart problems and air quality B.heart problems and exercising C.heart problems and smoking D.heart problems and fatty food 2.The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means . A.relatively high B.extremely low C.relatively low D.extremely high 3.What can we learn from the text?( ) - 2 -
A.Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart. B.The EPA conducted many studies on air quality. C.Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking. D.Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made. 4.The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to . A.inform B.persuade C.describe D.entertain 语篇解读:本文为说明文,题材为科普知识类,从文章中读者可以得知空气污染也是导致心脏出问题的一个重要因素。 答案及剖析:1.A 主旨大意题。文章第一段的第二句话就已将本文主旨告知:“... there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately:the air you breathe.”故选择A项。 2.C 猜测词义题。文章第三段第一句和第二句主要内容是:虽然空气污染这个因素对于健康人士来说危害相对小,并且相对于其他因素来说空气污染的危害比较低,但是我们不能忽视它。根据上下文句意选择C项。 3.D 推理判断题。根据文章第三段的最后一句“So stricter regulation...may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.”可知应选择D项。 4.A 主旨大意题。根据全文可以发现,作者希望通过本文告知读者空气污染对心脏有危害,希望大家在关注这一情况的同时注意环境的保护,故选择A项inform告知,通知。B劝说;C描述;D娱乐。 【长难句子分析】

Samia Melhem works for the World Bank to increase information technologies in Africa.She says mobile phones are the fastest growing technology on the continent. “Faster than TV，and definitely faster than electricity.More people have access to mobile phones and therefore communication.More people have Internet access today in Africa than they have access to water，clean water，or even sanitation (卫生设备)．So we can say that this has been the most significant revolution in terms of changing the African landscape and how people live their daily life.” CNN television recently named seven ways of life that have been revolutionized because of mobile phones.They include political activism，education，entertainment，disaster management，agriculture and health. Another area is banking.Reports say half or more of the adults in Gabon，Kenya and Sudan use mobile money.Rene Mendy sells goods in the streets of Dakar，Senegal.But he never had enough money to open a bank account. Now he uses a mobile phone banking service called Orange Money.With his telephone，he can add or take out as little as one dollar.He can make payments and send money to family members who live far away. Orange Money says it serves four million customers in ten countries.The World Bank’s Samia Melhem notes that the French company is facing competition from other mobile banking services. “The mobile banking is a huge trend.And people in the West don’t understand it，because most people have bank accounts and credit cards.It—mobile banking—is the instant possession of cash at a much lower cost.The cost is the cost of sending a

Banks view online banking as a powerful “value-added” tool to attract and keep new customers while helping t o eliminate costly paper handling or teller（出纳员）interactions in an increasingly competitive banking environme nt.Today, most large national banks, many local banks and credi t unions offer some form of online banking, variously known a s PC banking, home banking, electronic banking or Internet b anking. Online banks are sometimes referred to as “brick-to-click” banks, both to tell them from “brick-to-mortar” banks that haven’t yet offered online banking, as well as from “virtual”（虚拟）banks that have no physical branches or tellers whatsoever. The challenge for the banking industry has been to design thi s new service channel in such a way that its customers will re adily learn to use and trust it. Most of the large banks can now offer fully safe , fully functional（功能的）online banking for free or for a small cost. As more banks suc ceed online and more customers use their sites, fully function al online banking will likely become as commonplace as auto mated teller machines (ATM).Online banking has a lot of advantages. Unlike your corner ba nk, online banking sites never close; they’re at hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week and they’re a mouse click away. If you’re out of state or even out of the country when a money p roblem appears, you can log on instantly to your online bank and take care of business. Online bank sites generally carry o ut and confirm （确认）deals at or quicker than ATM processing speeds. Many online banking sites now offer fashionable tools to help you manage all of your valuable items more effectively.1. The word “eliminate” in the first paragraph probably means “”.A. keepB. removeC. reduceD. improve答案解析：答案为B。

专题四阅读理解(一)A(2015·吉林省吉林市第三次调测) Finally, I entered the university. Because of my careful savings, I did not have to work during the school year. Then, summer came and it was time to work harder than ever. I continued working as a waitress at night, instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons. I even decided to take a class at a community (社区) college. This class at the community college saved me $650. It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling, I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus (校园) admissions office answering phones. This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out. I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks, but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me $1,600 more to get the credits in Israel. About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had $1,600 in the bank that I had forgotten about! One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost, but the loss of time to make money; however, I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before. The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.This experience has shaped me in many important ways. The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic (伦理). Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar. It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.文章大意：在上大学期间，作者充分利用课余时间从事一些兼职工作，获得了不错的收入，更重要的是，这种工作经历使作者认识到了工作伦理的重要性，并且也学会了如何应对困难局面。

A recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”. This idea is dangerous。
Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way，depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science。
But here is a real danger。
Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference。
And，rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections(反对）, whatever is scientifically possible will be done—somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end。

The same experiment,but with three spots shown before two,shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes.Perhaps it is just the newness? When slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects(a comb,a key,an orange and so on),changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves.Could it be the pattern that two things make,as opposed to three? No again.Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three,or three to two.The effect even crosses between senses.Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two;likewise(同样地) when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.1.The experiment describe d in Paragraph 1 is related to the baby’s .A.sense of hearingB.sense of sightC.sense of touchD.sense of smell2.Babies are sensitive to the change in .A.the size of cardsB.the colour of picturesC.the shape of patternsD.the number of objects3.Why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?( )A.To reduce the difficulty of the experiment.B.To see how babies recognize sounds.C.To carry their experiment further.D.To keep the babies’ interest.4.Where does this text probably come from?( )A.Science fiction.B.Children’s literature.C.An advertisement.D.A science report.语篇解读:本文为说明文。

But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet。
That’s why he created Lampbrella,a lamp post with its own rain—sensing umbrella。
The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia.“Once，I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain.I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞篷）built into a street lamp。
”he said.The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy。
It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand.Sensors（传感器）then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining。

科普知识阅读理解（3）科普知识（阅读理解）由 (2012四川,E)改编Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted (预测)in reaction to climate change,which could have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems.Global warming is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world,changing some living patterns,scientists say.Increased carbon dioxide(CO2) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen,while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth.“Predicting species’reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology,”said the researchers of several U.S.universities.They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.The study,published on the Nature website,uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species.It found that some experiments had underestimated (低估) the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times.“Across all species,the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advance—for both leafing and flowering—that results from temperature increases,”the study said.The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change,it said.Plants are necessary for life on the Earth.They are the base of the food chain,using photosynthesis (光合作用)to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water.They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet.Scientists believe the world’s average temperature has risen by about 0.8℃ since 1900,and nearly 0.2℃ every ten years since 1979.So far,efforts to cut emissions (排放) of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2℃ this century—a pointscientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common,leading to drought,floods,crop failures and rising sea levels.1.What is the key information the author wants to give in Paragraph 1?( )A.Plants’ reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystems.B.The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists’expectation.C.Climate change leads to the change of food production patterns.D.Food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather.2.We can learn from the study published on the Nature website that .A.plants’ flowering is 8.5 times faster than leafingB.there are 1,634 plant species on the four continentsC.scientists should improve the design of the experimentsD.the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change3.Scientists pay special attention to the study of plants because .A.they can prove the climate change clearlyB.they are very important in the food chainsC.they play a leading role in reducing global warmingD.they are growing and flowering much faster than before4.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the world’s temperature?( )A.It has risen nearly 0.2℃ since 1979.B.Its change will lead to weather extremes.C.It is 0.8℃ higher in 1979 than that of 1900.D.It needs to be controlled within 2℃ in this century.语篇解读:本文为说明文,题材为科普知识类。

科普知识阅读理解（2）科普知识（阅读理解）由 (2009安徽,C)改编Sometimes,the simplest ideas are the best.For example,to absorb heat from the sun to heat water,you need large,flat,black surfaces.One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially,on the roofs of buildings.But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already,in the form of asphalt(柏油) roads?Ten years ago,this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt,a Dutch engineer.He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up.The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.The heat-collector is a system of connected water pipes.Most of them run from one side of the street to the other,just under the asphalt road.Some,however,dive deep into the ground.When the street surface gets hot in summer,water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes.At a depth of 100 metres lies a natural aquifer(蓄水层) into which several heat exchangers(交换器) have been built.The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers,warming the groundwater,before returning to the surface through another pipe.The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.In winter,the working system is changed slightly.Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer.This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up.After performing that task,it is pumped under the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.1.Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?( )A.Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss.rge,flat,black surfaces need to be built in cities.C.The Dutch engineer’s system has been widely used.D.Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.2.For what purpose are the diving pipes used?( )A.To absorb heat from the sun.B.To store heat for future use.C.To turn solar energy into heat energy.D.To carry heat down below the surface.3.From the last paragraph we can learn that .A.some pipes have to be re-arranged in winterB.the system can do more than warming up the buildingC.the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surfaceD.less heat may be collected in winter than in summer4.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?( )A.What we shall do if the system goes wrong.B.What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads.C.How the system cools the building in summer.D.How the system collects heat in spring and autumn.语篇解读:城市的黑色柏油路有了用武之地,可以用来收集热量,起到冬暖夏凉的功效。
