The Smog(烟雾)

For over a month,lndonesia was in crisis.Forest fires raged out of control as the
country suffered its worst drought for 50 years.Smoke from the fires mixed with sunlight and
hot dry air to form a cloud of smog.This pollution quickly spread and within days it was
hanging over neighbouring countries including Malaysia,Singapore and Thailand.
When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars,it soon became
poisonous(有毒的).Dangerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog and
pollution levels rose. People wheezed(喘息)and coughed as they left the house and their
eyes watered immediately.
The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared as
grey soot(烟灰)covered everything. In some areas, water was hosed(用胶管浇)from
high-rise city buildings to try and break up the smog.
Finally,heavy rains,which came in November,put out the fires and cleared the air.
But the environmental costs and health problems will remain.Many people from South-
Eastern Asian cities already suffer from breathing huge amounts of car exhaust fumes(汽车
排放的废气)and factory pollution. Breathing problems could well increase and many non-
sufferers may have difficulties for the first time.Wildlife has suffered too.In lowland forests,elephants,deer,and tigers have been driven out of their homes by smog.
But smog is not just an Asian problem.In fact,the word was first used in London in
1905 to describe the mixture of smoke and thick fog.Fog often hung over the capital.
Sometimes the smog was so thick and poisonous that people were killed by breathing
problems or in accidents.About 4, 000 Londoners died within five days as a result of thick
smog in 1952.

Water was used to try to break up the smog.

3.The Smokey Bear(护林熊) fire prevention program has resulted in a savings of $20 billion on all federal(联邦的), state and private forested land(私有林地). In 1941, 208,000 forest fires burned 30 million acres, while in 1981, fewer than 165,000 fires burned about three million acres. While forest usage has increased, the proportion(比例) of human-caused fires has remained stable; people still cause nine out of ten forest fires. But the biggest cause of fires is arson(纵火), accounting for(引起) 34 percent of forest fires in 1981.1. According to the passage, use of forested land has ____.A、stabilizedB、been privatizedC、decreasedD、risen2. According to the passage, in 1941 forest fires burned ____.A、less acres than in 1981B、3 million acresC、ten times as many acres as in 1981D、20 million acres more than in 19813.

    _________65
    A:take up
    B:cut off
    C:back up
    D:run out

    答案:B
    解析:
    由文章标题和第一段第一句可知,这里指的应该是在地下燃烧的火焰。underground地下的;house房子,房屋;sky天空;water水。
    煤在地下燃烧产生的火焰能够使地表温度升高,并且毁坏周围的植被,产生温室气体,甚至能点燃森林。even在这里表示程度的递进。only仅仅,只有;just仅仅;even甚至,更then 然后。
    此处表示“有毒气体的释放”,表示气体的释放应用"release"。 paste糨糊;consumption 消费;release释放;elimination消除,根除。
    地下煤的燃烧是一种全球性的灾难,令人惊奇的是却很少有人了解,这里表示的是一种惊讶。happily愉快地;surprisingly惊人地,出人意料地;traditionally传统地;fashionably时髦地。
    在有阳光和氧气的情况下,产生的热量会引起自燃,可见煤产生的热量并没有消失。 disappear消失;exchange交换;regenerate再生;transfer转换,转变。
    此处表示:这样的火灾在中国每年消耗的煤多达2亿吨。most大多数,大部分;some一些,某些;such这种的,这样的;many许多,很多。
    in comparison表示“与……相比”,用在这里表示中国发生自燃的煤量与美国经济消耗的煤量的比较。case案件,情况;time时间,时代;comparison比较;turn转动,旋转。
    空格后的analysis与空格前的先行词Stracher是所有关系,因此用whose来引导这个定语从句,并在从句中作主语。which哪一个,一般用来引导先行词为物的定语从句;who谁,常用来引导先行词为人的定语从句,并在从句中作主语;what什么,常用来引导疑问句或名词性从句。
    这句话的意思是:地下的煤一旦燃烧,火焰将会持续几十年,甚至几百年。因此用连词 once。 yet然而;unless除非;once一旦;although尽管,虽然。
    volume表示the amount of sth.,意思是“量,额”,用在这里表明有毒气体、温室气体以及黑色颗粒的量很大。data数据;figure数字;volume量,分量;image影像,形象。
    科研小组的成员讨论的是这些火焰的影响,have impact on是常用搭配,表示对……有影响。impact影响,作用;attack袭击,攻击;identification鉴定,识别;implication含义,蕴含。
    这句话表明,在地下燃烧的特质使这些火焰很难被探测到。develop开发,发展;relieve 解除,缓解;supply提供,供应;detect侦察,发现,探测。
    根据后文的how much可知,这里指的是对产生的二氧化碳的量的评估。experiment实验;estimate评估;gather收集,聚集;illustrate说明,解释。
    Gary Colaizzi提出的是一种控制这些火焰的方法,因此用method来表示。cause原因,动机;treatment治疗,疗法;rule规则,规定;method方法,方式。
    切断氧气的供应,应该用cut off来表示。take up占据;cut off切除,切断;back up支持; run out用完,耗尽。

    Rockets in the Sky
    If someone asked you,"What color is the sky?"I expect that you would answer,"Blue."I am afraid that you would be wrong.The sky has no color.When we see blue,we are looking at blue sunlight.The sunlight is shining on little bits of dust in the air.
    We know that there is air all around the world.We could not breathe without air.Airplanes could not fly without air.They need air to lift their wings.Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner.If we go far enough away from the earth,we find there is no air.
    What is the sky?The sky is space.In this space there is nothing except the sun,the moon and all the stars. Scientists have always wanted to know more about the other worlds in the space.They have looked at them through telescopes and in this way they have found out a great deal.The moon is about 384 ,000 kilometers away from the earth.An airplane cann't fly to the moon but there is a thing that can fly even when there is no air. This is rocket.
    I am sure that you are asking,"How does a rocket fly?"If you want to know,get a balloon and then blow it up until it is quite big.Do not tie up the neck of the balloon.Let go!The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly.The air inside the balloon tries to get out.It rushes out through the neck of the balloon and this pushes the balloon through the air.It does not need wings like an airplane.
    This is how a rocket works.It is not made of rubber(橡胶)like a balloon,of course.It is made of metal. The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong.There is gas inside the rocket which is made very hot. When it rushes out of the end of the rocket,the rocket is pushed up into the air.
    Rockets can fly far out into space.Rockets with men inside them have already reached the moon.Several rockets,without men inside them,have been sent to other worlds much farther away.One day rockets may be able to go anywhere in the space.

    When an airplane flies too high,______.
    A:the air will be too thin to support its wings
    B:the air will become thicker
    C:the air will exert pressure on it
    D:the air will disappear in no time

    答案:A
    解析:
    根据第一段第四句可知,天空没有颜色。
    根据第二段第五句“Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner.”可知,由于位置越高,空气越稀薄,飞机飞不了太高。
    根据第五段可知,火箭飞行的原理与没扎口的膨胀的气球相似。
    根据第六段最后一句“When it rushes out of the end of the rocket , the rocket is pushed upinto the air.”可知,火箭是由热气流高速向后喷出所产生的反作用力来推动的,而不是由内部燃烧的气体推动的。
    根据第六段最后一句可知,当热气从火箭尾部冲出时,火箭被送人空中。C项中的“itsbottom”是第六段最后一句中的“the end of the rocket”的同义转换。

    问答题
    Practice 1  Heat loss by sweating depends on the fact that when a liquid evaporates, it absorbs an enormous quantity of heat from its surroundings. Therefore, when I am of sweat evaporate, a great deal of heat is absorbed from the surface of the body in contact with it. 1______  2______ The first is the amount of movement of air surrounding the body. The second is the amount of water vapor in the air that surrounds the body.  3______ For this reason, sweat evaporates very rapidly on windy days, and the rate of heat loss by sweating is much more than on a still day. This accounts for the fact that hot still days are much less comfortable than hot windy days. In contrast, the sweat evaporates very rapidly on hot windy days, and cools the body quickly and effectively.  4______ When air is carrying the maximum amount of water vapor that it can hold, it is said to be 100% saturated with water vapor. The relative humidity of the air is said to be 100%. Under these conditions the air cannot carry any water, so no water can evaporate. When the relative humidity is high, therefore, sweat cannot evaporate. Instead, it forms large drops and runs off your skin without cooling you.  5______ It is obvious that under these conditions, evaporation will be much more rapid. Therefore, sweating will be much more effective as a method of losing heat from the body. On a hot dry day, sweat evaporates as soon as it is formed, and you feel reasonably cool even though the temperature of your environment is very high.[A] When the air is very dry and carries no water at all, the relative humidity is said to be 0%.[B] The second factor is the amount of water vapor in the air-the humidity.[C] Hot windy days are much more comfortable than hot still days.[D] This heat transfer occurs even if the environment is hotter than the body.[E] When air moves over the surface of water, the amount of evaporation is greatly increased.[F] You might expect the highest incidence of a heat stroke when the maximum temperature is 100 and humidity is 50%.[G] Two factors affect the rate of evaporation of sweat, and therefore the effectiveness of sweating as a method of cooling the body.

    正确答案: 1.D 空前说“出汗能散热是因为液体蒸发的时候可以带走周围大量的热量。所以当我出汗时,大量的热量被从身体表面吸走了”。D项说“即使周围温度笔体温高时,热量传递也是可以进行的”。符合逻辑关系。故选D。

    The Smog(烟雾)

    For over a month,Indonesia was in crisis.Forest fires raged out of control as the
    country suffered its worst drought for 50 years.Smoke from the fires mixed with sunlight and
    hot dry air to form a cloud of smog.This pollution quickly spread and within days it was
    hanging over neighbouring countries including Malaysia,Singapore and Thailand.
    When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars,it soon became
    poisonous(有毒的).Dangerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog and
    pollution levels rose. People wheezed(喘息)and coughed as they left the house and their
    eyes watered immediately.
    The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared as
    grey soot(烟灰) covered everything. In some areas, water was hosed(用胶管浇)from
    high-rise city buildings to try and break up the smog.
    Finally,heavy rains,which came in November,put out the fires and cleared the air.
    But the environmental costs and health problems will remain.Many people from South-
    Eastern Asian cities already suffer from breathing huge amounts of car exhaust fumes(汽车
    排放的废气)and factory pollution. Breathing problems could well increase and many non-
    sufferers may have difficulties for the first time.Wildlife has suffered too.In lowland
    forests,elephants,deer,and tigers have been driven out of their homes by smog.
    But smog is not just an Asian problem.In fact,the word was first used in London in

    Rockets in the Sky
    If someone asked you,"What color is the sky?"I expect that you would answer,"Blue."I am afraid that you would be wrong.The sky has no color.When we see blue,we are looking at blue sunlight.The sunlight is shining on little bits of dust in the air.
    We know that there is air all around the world.We could not breathe without air.Airplanes could not fly without air.They need air to lift their wings.Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner.If we go far enough away from the earth,we find there is no air.
    What is the sky?The sky is space.In this space there is nothing except the sun,the moon and all the stars. Scientists have always wanted to know more about the other worlds in the space.They have looked at them through telescopes and in this way they have found out a great deal.The moon is about 384 ,000 kilometers away from the earth.An airplane cann't fly to the moon but there is a thing that can fly even when there is no air. This is rocket.
    I am sure that you are asking,"How does a rocket fly?"If you want to know,get a balloon and then blow it up until it is quite big.Do not tie up the neck of the balloon.Let go!The balloon will fly off through the air very quickly.The air inside the balloon tries to get out.It rushes out through the neck of the balloon and this pushes the balloon through the air.It does not need wings like an airplane.
    This is how a rocket works.It is not made of rubber(橡胶)like a balloon,of course.It is made of metal. The metal must not be heavy but it must be very strong.There is gas inside the rocket which is made very hot. When it rushes out of the end of the rocket,the rocket is pushed up into the air.
    Rockets can fly far out into space.Rockets with men inside them have already reached the moon.Several rockets,without men inside them,have been sent to other worlds much farther away.One day rockets may be able to go anywhere in the space.

    A rocket is pushed up into the air when.
    A:hot gas rushes out of its head
    B:it is powered by gas
    C:hot gas rushes out of its bottom
    D:hot gas rushes out of its neck

    答案:C
    解析:
    根据第一段第四句可知,天空没有颜色。
    根据第二段第五句“Airplanes cannot fly very high because as they go higher the air gets thinner.”可知,由于位置越高,空气越稀薄,飞机飞不了太高。
    根据第五段可知,火箭飞行的原理与没扎口的膨胀的气球相似。
    根据第六段最后一句“When it rushes out of the end of the rocket , the rocket is pushed upinto the air.”可知,火箭是由热气流高速向后喷出所产生的反作用力来推动的,而不是由内部燃烧的气体推动的。
    根据第六段最后一句可知,当热气从火箭尾部冲出时,火箭被送人空中。C项中的“itsbottom”是第六段最后一句中的“the end of the rocket”的同义转换。

    The Smog(烟雾)

    For over a month,lndonesia was in crisis.Forest fires raged out of control as the
    country suffered its worst drought for 50 years.Smoke from the fires mixed with sunlight and
    hot dry air to form a cloud of smog.This pollution quickly spread and within days it was
    hanging over neighbouring countries including Malaysia,Singapore and Thailand.
    When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars,it soon became
    poisonous(有毒的).Dangerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog and
    pollution levels rose. People wheezed(喘息)and coughed as they left the house and their
    eyes watered immediately.
    The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared as
    grey soot(烟灰)covered everything. In some areas, water was hosed(用胶管浇)from
    high-rise city buildings to try and break up the smog.
    Finally,heavy rains,which came in November,put out the fires and cleared the air.
    But the environmental costs and health problems will remain.Many people from South-
    Eastern Asian cities already suffer from breathing huge amounts of car exhaust fumes(汽车
    排放的废气)and factory pollution. Breathing problems could well increase and many non-
    sufferers may have difficulties for the first time.Wildlife has suffered too.In lowland forests,elephants,deer,and tigers have been driven out of their homes by smog.
    But smog is not just an Asian problem.In fact,the word was first used in London in
    1905 to describe the mixture of smoke and thick fog.Fog often hung over the capital.
    Sometimes the smog was so thick and poisonous that people were killed by breathing
    problems or in accidents.About 4, 000 Londoners died within five days as a result of thick
    smog in 1952.

    The air-pollution index went up to 300 within a few days.
