50、y can improve - and how big an impact those improvements can make.For instance, when Atlanta hosted the 1996 Olympic Games, parts of the city were closed to cars for 17 days. In the following four weeks, kids medical visits for lung diseases decreased by more than 40 percent. In 1990, when Hong Kong
51、 passed stricter regulations for the content of fuel oil used by power plants and cars, SO2 levels immediately fell by 45 percent on average and as much as 80 percent in the most polluted areas. Within six months, there was a significant decrease in the number of deaths from air related diseases.In
52、March 2020, when businesses shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic, NO2 levels were about 30 percent lower on average in the northeaster United States than they were in the same month for the years 2015 to 2019. Also, during the month that China was under quarantine(隔离) from February to April
53、 because of the pandemic, one study estimated that improved air quality helped to impede more than 12,000 pollution-related deaths. With a recent study showing that the higher PM2.5 is, the more people will die from the COVID-19, measures to improve air quality may be more important than ever before
54、.28. The examples in Paragraph 2 are given in order to prove that_,A. kids often see doctorsB. people love the OlympicsC. air quality can improveD. cars should be prohibited29. What does the underlined word impede mean in Paragraph 3?A. Increase.B. Recover.C. Witness.D. Prevent.30. What might be the

56、ID-19.B. The solutions to air problems.C. The examples of air pollution.D. The results of the air research.【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍空气质量改善所带来的益处。【28题详解】推理判断题。根据行文逻辑,第二段一开始就是具体的例子,这是为了说明文章第一段最后的观点。再根据第一段“But researchers are now discovering how quickly and dramatically air quality
57、 can improve and how big an impact those improvements can make.(但研究人员现在发现,空气质量的改善能有多么迅速和显著,以及这些改善能产生多大的影响。) ”可以推断,第二段中的例子是为了证明空气质量可以改善。故选C。【29题详解】词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“Within six months, there was a significant decrease in the number of deaths from air related diseases.(在六个月内,死于与空气有关疾病的人数显著下降。)”可知,空气质量的改善
58、能降低疾病的死亡率,根据第三段最后一句“With a recent study showing that the higher PM2.5 is, the more people will die from the COVID-19, measures to improve air quality may be more important than ever before. (最近的一项研究表明,PM2.5越高,死于COVID-19的人就越多,因此改善空气质量的措施可能比以往任何时候都更加重要。)”可知PM2.5含量越高,死于新冠病毒的人越多。因此改善了空气质量,有助于“阻止”因为空气污染引
59、起的死亡。所以impede为“阻止”之意。故选D。【30题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“But researchers are now discovering how quickly and dramatically air quality can improve - and how big an impact those improvements can make.( 但研究人员现在发现,空气质量的改善能有多么迅速和显著,以及这些改善能产生多大的影响。)”和后面引出的话题,及下面两段的具体阐述,可知本文是为了说明空气质量改善所带来的益处。所以“The surprisingly fast-ac
60、ting benefits of cleaner air(更清洁空气令人惊讶地快速见效的好处)”作为文章的标题最为合适。故选A。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段后面的 “measures to improve air quality may be more important than ever before. (改善空气质量的措施可能比以往任何时候都更加重要。)” 可知2020年改善空气质量的措施比以往任何时候都重要,可以推断出下文应该接着列举有哪些可行的措施和解决方案。故选B。DAny C.E.O. book ought to do two things. First, it sho
61、uld be a tale of how the author did it. In Bee Fearless, the 10-year-old C.E.O.

69、s some research and finds out that bees are in danger, which raised her concern.”( 她做了一些研究并发现蜜蜂处于危险之中,这引起了她的关注。)可知,Ulmer在被蜜蜂蛰了后,在父母的鼓励下了解蜜蜂并产生关注,再由第二段首句“So the 4-year-old sets up a lemonade stand outside her house in Austin”(因此,这个4岁的女孩在Austin的家门口摆了一个柠檬水摊)可知,她对蜜蜂的关注激发了她的创业灵感。故选B项。33题详解】词句猜测题。代词通常指代的是
70、前文提到的相关内容。根据二、三段的叙述以及第四段第一、二句“So we have our good story. The second task is harderfor anyone, let alone a teenager selling her story to other kids”( 这就是我们的好故事。第二项任务对任何人来说都更难,更不用说一个十几岁的孩子把自己的故事卖给其他孩子了)可知,Ulmer取得了一系列成功,并且还要把自己成功的经验传递给其他孩子。进一步推出,下文“How do you make people believe that they too could acc
71、omplish something like this?”(你怎么使人相信他们也可以完成这样的事情?)中的this,是指让其他孩子也可以取得“这样的成功”,即“成功地达到某人的目标”。故选C项。【34题详解】推理判断题。由最后一段的前两句“In Ulmers book, she delivers the key to keeping in contact with customers like writing thank-you notes. She also writes about connecting with the strangers over a brief trade.”(在Ul
72、mer的书中,她介绍了与客户保持联系的关键,就像写感谢信一样。她还写了关于与陌生人进行短暂交易的故事。)可知,Ulmer在书中说明了自己是如何通过感谢信和顾客保持联系的,可以推断出她与顾客之间培养了良好的关系。故选D项。【35题详解】推理判断题。从文章第一段,尤其是“In Bee Fearless, the 10-year-old C.E.O. Mikayla Ulmers book”(在无畏的蜜蜂中,十岁的C.E.O. Mikayla Ulmer的书)及最后一段第一句“In Ulmers book, she”(在书中,她)可以看出,本文是在介绍Mikayla Ulmer的一本书。故选A项。第
