4.One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun.Crosby Menzies,a solar power expert in a South African company,described his latest solar cooker called the"Sol.4","It is four square meters of mirrors,six to eight meters in length.It is quite a large cooler."
The"Sol.4"works by reflecting (反射)light from the sun off large mirrors.The mirrors direct (把…对准)the light at a cooking pan.Then the light heats the pan with solar energy.Within two minutes,the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions.In just four minutes,water can be boiled.That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.
The cooker is also much"friendlier"than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it.And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal.Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.
At present,the cooker only works when the sun is shining.But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.
Each cooker costs about $2000,which is a large amount of money for most Africans.To solve that problem,Crosby Menzies has crated a non-governmental organization called solar Cookers for Africa.It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.

分析 房屋和其他建筑物的污染每年造成超过400万人死亡,许多人因吸入烟或用煤作动力的炉子做饭而死亡.
减少死亡人数的一个方法是通过太阳能烹饪设备,一个南非公司的太阳能专家Crosby Menzies描述了他最新的太阳能炊具,称为"Sol.4","它是四平方米的镜子,长度六到八米,相当于一个大的灶具."
"Sol.4"由大镜子反射的太阳光运作的.镜子直接把光对准炒菜的锅,然后光用太阳能加热锅.两分钟后,锅热得能够烤香肠和洋葱.在短短的四分钟,水可以煮沸,和用天然气或电做饭一样快.
锅也比其他灶具更"友好",因为人们不必站在太阳下使用它,人们可以不必收集柴火或花钱买煤做饭.这样的人们不太可能有来自于有害烟雾引起的呼吸病.
目前,炊具只是在阳光灿烂的时候工作,但工程师们正在努力工作,使它在没有阳光的情况下也能工作.
每个锅的成本约为2000美元,这是大多数非洲人一大笔钱.为了解决这个问题,Crosby Menzies已建立一个叫做非洲太阳能炊具的非政府组织.它计划筹集捐赠的资金去提供太阳能烹饪设备给穷人.
解答 66.答案:A.主旨大意题.根据 One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun.Crosby Menzies,a solar power expert in a South African company,described his latest solar cooker called the"Sol.4","联系全文内容可知本文是介绍一种新型的太阳能灶具,能够减少污染对身体的伤害,故答案是A.
67.答案:D.细节理解题.根据Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood-powered of coal-powered stoves. One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun.Crosby Menzies,a solar power expert in a South African company,described his latest solar cooker called the"Sol.4"可知Sol-4主要是用于减少因有害气体引起的死亡,故答案是D.
68.答案:C.词义猜测题.根据.And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal.人们可以不必收集柴火或花钱买煤做饭和后面的would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.不太可能有来自于有害烟雾引起的呼吸病. individuals 作为主语,表示人不可能得病,故选C.
69.答案:D.细节理解题.根据The cooker is also much"friendlier"than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use it.And people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on coal.Such individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke可知这种新灶具比其他灶具更环保,故选D.
70.答案:B.推理判断题.根据To solve that problem,Crosby Menzies has crated a non-governmental organization called solar Cookers for Africa.It plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.可以推断将来越来越多的非洲人会用上太阳能灶,故答案是B.
