4.The World Health Organization warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution.Nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking,heating and lighting.These findings show that the use of deadly fuels in inefficient stoves,space heaters or lights is to blame for many of these deaths.
WHO officials say indoor pollution leads to early deaths from stroke,heart and lung disease,childhood pneumonia and lung cancer.Women and girls are the main victims.These diseases can often result from the burning of solid fuels.These fuels include wood,coal,animal waste,crop waste and charcoal.
The United Nations found that more than 95percent of households in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking.It says huge populations in India,China and Latin American countries,such as Guatemala and Peru,also are at risk.
Nigel Brace is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpoo1.He says researchers are developing good cook-stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.There are already multiple technologies available for use in clean fuels.There is really quite an effective and reasonably low-cost alcohol stove that is made by Dometic(a Sweden-based company)that is now being tested out.LPG(liquified petroleum gas)cook is obviously widely available and efforts are under way to make those efficient.Another interesting development is electric induction stoves(电磁炉).WHO experts note some new,safe and low-cost technologies that could help are already available.In India,you can bay an induction stove for about 8.00.AndinAfricayoucanbuyasolarlampforlessthan1.00.
But,this,the agency says,is just a start.It is urging developing counties to use cleaner fuels and increase access to cleaner and more modern cooking and heating appliances.
24.What does the indoor pollution mainly result fromA?
A.Poisonous fuels. B.High technology.
C.Space heaters.D.Solar energy.
25.How is Paragraph 3mainly developed?C
A.By showing differences. B.By describing a process.
C.By making a list.D.By analyzing causes.
26.What can we infer from the textB?
A.Indoor pollution results in many diseases.
B.Most of the deaths are in developing countries.
C.The solid fuels are used in more efficient ways.
D.There is no indoor pollution in developed countries.
27.Which of the following is true of different technologiesD?
A.LPG cooks are being tested out.
B.Alcohol stoves are widely used now.
C.Electric induction stoves are expensive.
D.Solar lamps are very cheap in Africa.
分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们叙述了每年有数百万人死于室内空气污染,近三十亿人无法使用清洁燃料,尤其是在发展中国家,而研究人员正在开发好的炉灶和其他设备以更有效的方式燃烧燃料,敦促发展中国家使用清洁燃料和增加获得更清洁、更现代的烹饪和加热设备.
解答 24.A.细节理解题.根据文章第二段"These findings show that the use of deadly fuels in inefficient stoves,space heaters or lights is to blame for many of these deaths"可知这些研究结果表明,使用致命的燃料在低效的炉灶,空间加热器或灯是许多这些死亡的责任;故选A.
25.C.推理判断题.根据文章第三段"These fuels include wood,coal,animal waste,crop waste and charcoal",这些燃料包括木材、煤、动物废料、农作物废料和木炭,可知是通过举例展开的;故选C.
26.B.推理判断题.根据文章第四段"The United Nations found that more than 95percent of households in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking",联合国发现超过撒哈拉以南非洲家庭95%依靠固体燃料做饭,可推断死亡人口都在发展中国家;故选B.
27.D.细节理解题.根据文章最后一段"And in Africa you can buy a solar lamps for less than 1.00"可知在南非你可以用少于1元购买太阳能灯,可知非常便宜;故选D.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
