She's suffering loss of money.A.toB.fromC.withD.for 题目和参考答案——青夏教育精英家教网—

Devra Davis was an American epidemiologist (流行病学家) and writer. In When Smoke Ran Like Water, Devra Davis takes the reader from killer smoke to the serious problems of the present including breast cancer and climate change. Davis has been devoted to decreasing illness and loss of life from environmental pollution for decades. She is determined not to let figures and numbers hide the people whose lives are in danger.

One of the things that makes When Smoke Ran Like Water, her book on the battle against pollution, so powerful is that she hasn’t just only studied the statistics (数字统计), but she’s lived them. As a child in the Monongahela River town, she survived the 1948 smog (烟雾) pollution that was reported to have killed 20 people. She writes, “The 50 people who died in the month following decade are nowhere counted. And there is no counting of the thousands called the non-killed － all those who went on to suffer in various poorly understood ways.”

For Davis, counting counts. She focuses on epidemiology, the science which is rooted in numbers. Her book is a series of related stories, which uses a convincing (具有说服力的) method to support her conclusions. For anyone interested in the future of human health, When Smoke Ran Like Water also provides a valuable basis for understanding and action.

67. We can learn from the text that Davis cares most about_____.

A. the measures taken by governments to fight environmental pollution

B. the lasting damage to health caused by environmental pollution

C. the number of people died in environmental pollution

D. the environmental pollution caused by the smog in 1948

68.The author thinks that When Smoke Ran Like Water is a powerful book because_______.

A. Davis was an expert in the study of pollution

B. Davis used real numbers to study pollution

C. Davis was good at writing interesting stories

D. Davis put her real-life experience into the book

69. What kind of method is used by Davis to support the conclusion?

A. The reasoning method B. The storytelling method

C. The statistic method D. The experiment method

70. The purpose of the text is to________.

A. show the damage caused by pollution

For Americans, a mosquito bite is an itchy bother. But for many in Africa, a tiny bite can be deadly. One million people die each year of malaria, a disease spread by infected mosquitoes. Most of these people live in Africa, and are under age 5.

Malaria can be prevented and treated. However, many African nations don't have the funds to fight it. Nothing but Nets (NBN) hopes to change that. The United Nations Foundation created the campaign in 2006. The aim is to prevent malaria by covering sleeping areas with nets. Hanging bed nets treated with insecticide(杀虫剂) is the simplest way to stop mosquitoes from biting at night. The chemicals last four to five years. For $10, anyone can send a net to Africa and help save a life.

So far, NBN has raised $19 million and delivered 700,000 nets to seven countries. Families are taught how to use the nets. Kids also get vaccines (疫苗)and vitamins. "Women line up for miles to get the medicine for their kids," says NBN director Elizabeth McKee Gore. "They understand the importance."

So do kids in this country. "They get so excited thinking of ways to raise money," says NBN spokesperson and basketball star Ruth Riley.

NBN's biggest fund-raiser is Katherine Commale, 7. She's been spreading the information about bed nets for the past two years. To show how they work, she and her brother made a video. "We teach that bed nets can save lives," she said.

Katherine has raised $42,000 for NBN. "She just wants those who need a net to have one," says her mom, Lynda. "It's pretty simple to her." To find out how you can help, visit nothingbutnets.net.

1.We know from the passage that NBN is in fact _________.

A. a deadly disease B. an organization

C. a piece of equipment D. a game

2.The purpose of the passage is most probably ___________.

A. to list the sufferings of the African people

A. know the importance of the bed nets

B. know how to protect themselves

C. lack nets to protect themselves

D. suffer from malaria

4. What do we know about Katherine from the passage?

A. She set up the website nothingbutnets.net.
