课时跟踪练(一) Welcome to the unit Reading Ⅰ.阅读理解 A People and the sources of air pollution are found in the same places. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes (烟雾) from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities. Another major source of dirty is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the countryside. On the average, we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before. The burning of garbage contributes to air pollution. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum (石油) production add particles (微粒) to the air. The effects of air pollution range from loss of clear vision, mild headaches to death.

In some larger cities, these fumes endanger the life of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early deaths. 语篇解读：本文主要介绍了城市空气污染的原因与后果，旨在呼吁人们停止继续污染空气。 1．The key point of the passage is that .
