PART IV READING COMPREHENSION (45 minutes, 30 points, 1 point each)

Passage One

A report published recently brings bad news about air pollution. It suggests that it could

be as damaging to our health as exposure to the radiation from the 1986 Ukraine nuclear

power disaster. The report was published by the UK Royal Commission on Environmental

Pollution. But what can city people do to reduce exposure to air pollution.'? Quite a lot, it

turns out.

Avoid walking in busy streets. Choose side streets and parks instead. Pollution levels

can fall a considerable amount just by moving a few meters away from the main pollution

source--exhaust fumes(

烟气

). Also don't walk behind smokers. Walk on the windward side

of the street where exposure to pollutants can be 50 percent less than on the downwind side.

Sitting on the driver's side of a bus can increase your exposure by 10 percent, compared

with sitting on the side nearest the pavement. Sitting upstairs on a double-decker can reduce

exposure. It is difficult to say whether traveling on an underground train is better or worse

than taking the bus. Air pollution on underground trains tends to be, less toxic than that at

street level, because underground pollution is mostly made up of tiny iron particles thrown up

by wheels hitting the rails. But diesel and petrol fumes have a mixture of pollutants.

When you are crossing a road, stand well back from the curb while you wait for the light

to change. Every meter really does count when you are close to traffic. As the traffic begins

to move, fumes can be reduced in just a few seconds. So holding your breath for just a

moment can make a difference, even though it might sound silly.

There are large sudden pollution increases during rush hours. Pollution levels fall during

nighttime. The time of year also makes a big difference. Pollution levels tend to be at their

lowest during spring and autumn when winds are freshest. Extreme cold or hot weather has a

trapping effect and tends to cause a build-up of pollutants.

51. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to fight air pollution in big cities.

B. How to avoid air pollution in big cities.

C. How to breathe fresh air in big cities.

D. How serious air pollution is in big cities.

52. According to the report, air pollution in big cities __________.

A. can be more serious than Chernobyl nuclear disaster

B. cannot be compared with the disaster in Chernobyl

C. can release as damaging radiation as the Chernobyl disaster

D. can be more serious than we used to think

53. When you walk in a busy street, you should walk on the side ___________.

A. where the wind is coming

B. where the wind is going

C. where the wind is weaker

D. where the wind is stronger

54. If you take a bus in a big city in China, you should sit _________.

A. on the left side in the bus

B. on the right side in the bus

C. in the middle of the bus

D. at the back of the bus

55. It is implied in the passage that ________.

A. people should not take street level transportation

B. tiny iron particles will not cause health problems

C. air pollution on an underground train is less poisonous

D. traveling on an underground train is better than taking the bus

56. While waiting to cross a busy street, you should ___________.

A. wait a few seconds until the fumes reduce

B. stay away from the traffic as far as possible

C. hold your breath until you get to the other side of the street

D. count down for the light to change

Passage Two

Global warming poses a threat to the earth, but humans can probably ease the climate

threats brought on by rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, global climate

specialist Richard Alley told an audience at the University of Vermont. Alley said his

research in Greenland suggested that subtle changes in atmospheric patterns leave parts of the

globe susceptible to abrupt and dramatic climate shifts that can last decades or centuries.

Almost all scientists agree that increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

created as humans burn fossil fuel is warming the planet. How to respond to the warming is a

matter of intense political, scientific and economic debate worldwide.

Alley said he was upbeat about global warming because enough clever people existed in

the world to find other reliable energy sources besides fossil fuels. He said people can get

rich finding marketable alternatives to fossil fuel.

were to have a piece of the action. Wouldn't it be useful if some bright students from

University of Vermont were to have a piece of the action,

Alley said that Europe and parts of eastern North America could in a matter of a few years

revert to a cold, windy region, like the weather in Siberia. Such shifts have occurred

frequently over the millennia, Alley's research shows. A gradual change in atmospheric

temperature, such as global warming, could push the climate to a threshold where such a shift

suddenly occurs, he said.

Alley told his audience of about 200 people in a University of Vermont lecture hall

Wednesday evening that he couldn't predict if, when or where sudden shifts toward cold, heat,

drought or water could occur under global warming, but it is something everyone should

consider.
