Question

【題目】

What is the best way to help control air pollution in our towns and cities? Choose public transportation instead of private cars, or reduce the total amount of cars on the street. These can be useful. But here is a more creative way—write a poem.

"I write in praise of air. I was six or five, when a magician opened my fist(拳頭), and I held in my hand the whole of the sky."

Professor Tony Ryan (the science expert) and Professor Simon Armitage(the words expert), from the University of Sheffield, UK, came up with the idea.

But in fact, the poem is not the key part. It is the poster that the poem was written on that plays the biggest part. The poster is 10 meters by 20 meters. It is coated with nanoparticles(納米粒) of titanium dioxide (二氧化鈦). It can absorb the waste from around 20 cars each day if you put it by a busy road. The poster is now displayed on one of the University of Sheffield's buildings.

It doesn't get rid of all the pollutants from traffic, but it will eat up things called nitrogen oxides (氧化氮). These play a part in breathing problems, including asthma(哮喘).

The technology is cheap. "It would add less than 100 to the cost of a poster and would turn advertisements into catalysts(催化劑) in more ways than one," Ryan told the BBC.

He's also working on another idea, which is to add the nanoparticles to washing powder, so that your clothes soak up these poisons while you walk along. And you wouldn't be able to see or feel anything different.

【1】Why can the poem help control air pollution?

A.Because it can warn people of the dangers of pollution.

B.Because the poster that the poem was written on is special.

C.Because it has pictures that explain air pollution.

D.Because Professor Tony Ryan and Professor Simon Armitage are famous.

【2】Which of the following is NOT true of the poster?

A.It is 10 meters by 20 meters.

B.It is coated with nanoparticles.

C.It can absorb the waste from cars.

D.It's widely used in the UK.

【3】From the last two paragraphs, we learn that .

A.the technology costs too much

B.it would make advertisements cheaper

C.washing powder may one day soak up poisons

D.you would feel different wearing the clothes

【1】B

【2】D

【3】C

【解析】

在我們的城鎮(zhèn)控制空氣污染最好的方法是什么？文章介紹了一種非常有創(chuàng)意的方法——寫(xiě)一首詩(shī)。英國(guó)謝菲爾德大學(xué)的科學(xué)專家Tony Ryan和詞匯專家Simon Armitage提出了這個(gè)想法。但事實(shí)上，這首詩(shī)并不是重點(diǎn)。這首詩(shī)的海報(bào)起了最大的作用。海報(bào)是10米乘20米的，上面涂有納米顆粒的二氧化鈦。它每天可以吸收大約20輛汽車的廢物。他還在研究另一個(gè)想法，那就是在洗衣粉中加入納米粒子，這樣你的衣服就能在你走路的時(shí)候吸收這些毒素。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干：為什么這首詩(shī)能幫助控制空氣污染？根據(jù)But in fact, the poem is not the key part. It is the poster that the poem was written on that plays the biggest part. 可知，這首詩(shī)并不是重點(diǎn)，能幫助控制空氣污染的是這首詩(shī)所寫(xiě)在的海報(bào)。它是由一種特殊材質(zhì)做成的，能吸附廢物。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干：關(guān)于海報(bào)的描述，下列哪一項(xiàng)是不正確的？選項(xiàng)A. It is 10 meters by 20 meters.根據(jù)第四段的The poster is 10 meters by 20 meters.可知，海報(bào)是10米乘20米。故選項(xiàng)A正確。選項(xiàng)B. It is coated with nanoparticles.根據(jù)第四段的It is coated with nanoparticles(納米粒) of titanium dioxide (二氧化鈦). 可知，它被納米粒子包裹著。故選項(xiàng)B正確。選項(xiàng)C. It can absorb the waste from cars.根據(jù)第四段的It can absorb the waste from around 20 cars each day if you put it by a busy road.可知，它可以吸收汽車的廢物。故選項(xiàng)C正確。選項(xiàng)D. It's widely used in the UK.（在英國(guó)被廣泛使用），在文中并沒(méi)有提到。根據(jù)The poster is now displayed on one of the University of Sheffield's buildings.可知，這幅海報(bào)現(xiàn)在陳列在謝菲爾德大學(xué)的一棟大樓里。這項(xiàng)技術(shù)沒(méi)有大面積的得意推廣，D的說(shuō)法不正確，故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干：從最后兩段中，我們了解到什么？選項(xiàng)A. the technology costs too much根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的The technology is cheap. 可知，這項(xiàng)技術(shù)很便宜，并不是太貴，故選項(xiàng)A不對(duì)。選項(xiàng)B. it would make advertisements cheaper根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的It would add less than 100 to the cost of a poster 可知，海報(bào)的成本會(huì)增加不到100。是貴了一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)，而不是使廣告更便宜，故選項(xiàng)B不對(duì)。選項(xiàng)C. washing powder may one day soak up poisons根據(jù)最后一段He's also working on another idea, which is to add the nanoparticles to washing powder, so that your clothes soak up these poisons while you walk along. 可知，他的另一個(gè)想法，那就是在洗衣粉中加入納米粒子，這樣你的衣服就能在你走路的時(shí)候吸收這些毒素。也就是說(shuō)有一天，洗衣粉可能會(huì)吸收有毒物質(zhì)。故選項(xiàng)C是正確的。選項(xiàng)D. you would feel different wearing the clothes根據(jù)最后一句話And you wouldn't be able to see or feel anything different.可知，你看不到也感覺(jué)不到任何不同。故選項(xiàng)D是不對(duì)。故選C。
