The smoke also contains many gases, most of which cannot be seen. Altogether, they make up the serious problems of air pollution. In so many places it keeps us from seeing the sun, irritate(刺痛) our eyes, causes us to cough and makes us ill.Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had "black snow" from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is a global problem. It can kill babies, older people and those who have respiratory(呼吸) disease. In 1952, four thousands people die in one week as a result of a serious air pollution breakout in London. In 1948 in a small town of Pennsylvania, 20 people died in a four - day period of air pollution. As often found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of lung disease, such as bronchitis and asthma. Of course, smoking and other factors help to cause these illnesses, too, but these causes have increased greatly during recent years as air pollution has become worse.(1)、Which of the following is NOT true about the "black snow" incident?A：It happened in the northern European countries.B：It happened there because air pollution in these countries was most serious.C：Pollutants that fell with snow made it dirty.D：It is a global problem.答案： B评析：空(2)、Who can be killed by air pollution?A：Earth and plants.B：Stones and birds.C：Those who suffer from respiratory illnesses.D：Both A and C.答案： C评析：此题没有评析(3)、How many people died of air pollution in Pennsylvania in 1948?A：4,000.B：20.C：None.D：4020.答案： B评析：此题没有评析(4)、What are bronchitis and asthma?A：Different types of headaches.B：Lung disease.C：Heart diseases.D：Different types of stomach aches.答案： B评析：此题没有评析(5)、According to the passage, air pollution increases people's chance of getting ______?A：Headache.B：A lung disease.C：Stomachache.D：Nervous breakdown.答案： B评析：空2、 Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge. How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper thanother countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years.
