19.Luong Van Inh is among the Asians threatened by an environmental risk rarely considered:Indoor air pollution caused by burning wood,coal or other cheap fuels in kitchens.It kills about 1.5million people worlwide each year.Up to 3billion people around the world depend on solid fuels such as wood,coal,crop waste or animal waste for indoor cooking and heating.The resulting smoke ranks as the fourth-biggest health risk in the poorest countries,yet it's not paid more attention to.One article stressed that improved stoves with chimneys could reduce exposure (暴露) to indoor smoke by 30percent to 50percent.
Even World Health Organization (WHO) was surprised by the problem.Earlier this year,the WHO for the first time studied the effects of indoor air pollution on health around the world.In 2002,nearly two-thirds of all global deaths linked to burning solid fuels were in the Asia-Pacific region.Afghanistan,Pakistan and Bangladesh had the highest percentage of death and disease linked to indoor air pollution in Asia,followed by India and Laos.Women and children are the hardest-hit because they're at home the most.Mothers in many developing countries cook with their babies tied to their backs.This affects only the poorest so it's easy for the decision-makers who no longer live in this type of community not to even see it.
Using improved stoves and cleaner fuels are the good ways to solve the problem,but cost remains a barrier.China started the world's largest stove modern-izing effort in the 1980s,handing out up to 180million new stoves,all with chimneys,over 15years.The driving force (原动力) was not health,but fuel efficiency (效率),as farmers were running out of cooking fuel.However,in the long run,they need to move to cleaner fuel.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了室内空气污染威胁人们的健康,使用清洁燃料最好的方法来对抗室内空气污染、
解答 29.B.推理判断题.根据第一段Indoor air pollution caused by burning wood,coal or other cheap fuels in kitchens.It kills about 1.5million people worlwide each year可知这篇文章的主要思想是室内空气污染威胁人们的健康;故选B.
30.B.推理判断题.根据第一段Indoor air pollution caused by burning wood,coal or other cheap fuels in kitchens.It kills about 1.5million people worlwide each year可知研究室内空气污染对健康的影响是因为室内空气污染影响许多人的生活;故选B.
31.A.细节理解题.根据第三段nearly two-thirds of all global deaths linked to burning solid fuels were in the Asia-Pacific region.Afghanistan,Pakistan and Bangladesh had the highest percentage of death and disease linked to indoor air pollution in Asia,followed by India and Laos可知中国没有在这个名单里,即它的室内空气污染影响最小;故选A.
32.D.细节理解题.根据最后一段However,in the long run,they need to move to cleaner fuel可知最好的方法来对抗室内空气污染是使用清洁燃料;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.
