统考大学英语B阅读理解 1、The dark smoke that comes out of stacks(大烟囱) or from a burning dump(垃圾) contains tiny bits of solid or liquid matter. The smoke also contains many gases, most of which cannot be seen. Altogether, they make up the serious problems of air pollution. In so many places it keeps us from seeing the sun, irritate(刺痛) our eyes, causes us to cough and makes us ill. Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had black snow from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is a global problem. It can kill babies, older people and those who have respiratory(呼吸) disease. In 1952, four thousands people die in one week as a result of a serious air pollution breakout in London. In 1948 in a small town of Pennsylvania, 20 people died in a four - day period of air pollution. As often found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of lung disease, such as bronchitis and asthma. Of course, smoking and other factors help to cause these illnesses, too, but these causes have increased greatly during recent years as air pollution has become worse. 在大烟囱和焚烧的垃圾中冒出的黑烟里包含有很多微小的固体和液态物质。黑烟里还含有很多气体，大部分是肉眼看不到的。这些物质聚集在一起就会造成严重的空气污染问题。在很多地方它会遮天蔽日，刺痛我们的眼睛，致使人们咳嗽和生病。 空气污染会在城市与城市之间传播。甚至会在国家间扩散。一些北欧国家曾下黑色的雪，就是因为其他国家产生的污染物质通过空气流动最后在这些国家随降雪一起到地面。所以说空气污染是一个全球性问题。它会导致婴儿，老人和患有呼吸类疾病的人群死亡。1952年，英国伦敦爆发的严重空气污染导致1周内死亡了4000人。1948年，在美国宾夕法尼亚州的一个小镇4天的空气污染导致了20人死亡。在许多城市中发现空气污染会增加肺病的发生率，如支气管炎和哮喘。当然吸烟和其他因素也会导致这些疾病，但是这些因素也正是随着越来越严重的空气污染而显著增加的。 (1)、Which of the following is NOT true about the black snow incident? A：It happened in the northern European countries. B：It happened there because air pollution in these countries was most serious. C：Pollutants that fell with snow made it dirty. D：It is a global problem. 答案：B 解析：根据第二段，可知黑雪是因为“其他国家”产生的污染物质通过空气流动最后在这些国家随降雪一起到地面。B说的是这些国家的空气污染严重，所以错误。 题目翻译：关于黑雪下面哪个不正确？ B：因为这些国家的空气污染十分严重。 (2)、Who can be killed by air
