2、Oct 17,2020. The most widely used system for classifying carcinogens comes from the IARC, which places them into five groups. Group 1 carcinogens definitely cause cancer in humans. Group 2A is probably carcinogenic to humans, Group 2B is possibly carcinogenic, the carcinogenicity of Group 3 in huma

3、ns is unclassifiable, and Group 4 is probably not carcinogenic to humans. Only a little more than 100 are classified as Group 1 cancer-causing substances, including ultraviolet radiation and tobacco smoke. “Our task was to evaluate the air everyone breathes rather than focus on specific air polluta

4、nts,” the lARC's Dana Loomis said in a statement. “The results from the reviewed studies point in the same direction: the risk of developing lung cancer is significantly increased in people exposed to air pollution.” In 2020, lung cancer resulting from air pollution killed 223,000 people worldwide,

5、 and there was also convincing evidence that it increases the risk of bladder (膀腕) cancer, according to the IARC. Air pollution is already known to raise risks for a wide range of illnesses, including respiratory and heart diseases. Air pollution is global, although the levels of it vary over spac

6、e and time. Loomis said people in Asia, eastern North America, some places in Central America and Mexico, as well as North Africa have relatively high exposure. Developing countries with large populations and booming manufacturing sectors, such as China, are particularly at risk. Many cities in Ch

This week, Harbin, the capital city of Heilongjiang province, became the first Chinese city to officially suspend classes due to serious smog Many developed countries face similar problems, although to a lesser degree than most developing nations. In Europ

But between 91 and 96 percent of Europeans living in cities are exposed to levels of PM2.5—tiny particles with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers—that are higher than the WHO safety limits, says a report published by the European Environment Agency on O

9、ct 15. Although both the composition and levels of air pollution can vary dramatically from one location to the other, the 1ARC said its conclusions apply to all regions of the world. “Given the scale of the exposure affecting people worldwide, this report should send a strong signal to the intern

Other measures to protect young people from the dangers of smoking

17、 are also on the way.In April 2020 large retailers(零售商)in England and Scotland will have to get rid of all tobacco displays and small shops will be expected to do that from April 2020.Wales and Northern Ireland also plan to make similar regulations. The UK Government is due to begin a public consul

23、第二段的...from these machines,which of course,don’t ask them to prove their age可知,售煙機不會詢問買煙者的年齡,故選C項。 10.C　推理判斷題。由第二段的最后一句話With the tobacco industry increasingly depending on young smokers to keep their profits,...可知,煙草商為了獲得利益更加依賴年輕的吸煙者的消費,政府的這種禁令會大大減少青少年買煙者的數(shù)量而損害煙草業(yè)的利益,故選C項。 11.B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第二段的In Apr

26、more difficult to buy cigarettes as vending machines(自動售貨機)selling tobacco will be officially banned in England today...為本文的主題句,故A項作為標(biāo)題最合適。 【疑難詞匯解讀】 1.prohibit v.禁止,防止 Smoking is prohibited in the library. 圖書館里禁止吸煙。 2.consultation n.磋商,商議;會診 She said the public wanted a longer consultation per

28、lest windmills(see picture)to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway，however，could help put them anywhere. The project, called Hywind，is the world's first large-scale deepwater wind turbine(渦輪發(fā)電機)．Although it uses a fairly standard 152-ton,2.3-megawatt turbine，Hywind repre

29、sents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar(see picture)，a technology Hywind's creator，the Norwegian company StatoilHydro，has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied

30、to the ocean floor by three cables(纜索)；these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves.Hywind's stability(穩(wěn)定性)in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to plan, the

31、turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September. To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but it's difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a fl

32、oating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, the whole spar's centre of gravity must be moved much closer to the ocean's surface. To do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox(變速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades(see pi

33、cture)． Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind-farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing off shore windmills are planted. Deep-sea farms are invisible from land, which helps over

34、come the windmill-as-eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planet's surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available. 本文為科普短文，講述世界上第一個深海風(fēng)力發(fā)電機——渦輪發(fā)電機以及它的發(fā)電原理及好處。 9．The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of____

35、____. A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floor B. the spar which is floating in deep-sea water C. the blades driven by strong and steady sea wind D. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface 答案：B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段特別是“these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from m

36、oving up and down in the waves”可知B項正確。 10．To balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar, a new type of turbine is to be designed with its gearbox sitting________. A. on the sea floor B. on the spar top C. at sea level D. behind the blades 答案：C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第三段最后一句“...one whose gea

37、rbox sits at sea level rather than behind the blades.”可知C項正確。 11．Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can________. A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmills B. make financial profits by producing more turbines C. settle the arguments about environmental problems D. explore low-carbon power resources available at sea 答案：D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章最后一句“...it will open up vast areas of the planet's surface to one of the best low-carbon power sources available.”可知D項正確。
