时闻型阅读理解(限时：25分钟)(一)xianchina has introduced various emergency responses and longterm measures against air pollution in the central and eastern regions.the air quality index (aqi) for xian reached 500 on wednesday afternoon, at the top of the aqi scale, according to the national air quality monitoring website. xian weather forecasters predict the smog (雾霾) will continue for the next week and air pollution may worsen.“i have to keep buying masks for my family，”said liu, buying masks at a pharmacy (药店) near her home in downtown xian.“this is the only thing we can do to protect ourselves.”on wednesday, a city government emergency response plan was put into action, suspending all the construction and taking at least 50 per cent of government vehicles off the road. power plants must limit their output and reduce emissions.nearly half the country, more than 100 cities in 20 provinces, has suffered from smog since last december. many have taken action, including experimenting with artificial methods to reduce smog, limiting vehicle use and fining polluters.assessments based on gdp alone were abandoned last month and more emphasis has been put on public wellbeing and the environment. whether the move will be effective in forcing local governments consider environmental issues over economic growth remains to be seen. environmental protection professionals are doubtful about the immediacy of the effects of these measures.xiao hang, an urban researcher at the chinese academy of sciences, said it took london 50 years to lose the moniker (绰号) “foggy london town”， and los angeles still struggles to control its photochemical (光化学) smog.“we cant ignore environmental problems during the development process and china has a long way to go，” he said.1what would be the

“suspending”in paragraph 4 can be replaced by “_”aencouraging bstoppingccontinuing dexpanding3we can infer from the article that _.achina is the only country suffering from smogbenvironmental professionals believe the air quality will soon be improved with these measurescassessments based on gdp alone were harmful to environmental protectiondxian was the most polluted city in china4what xiao hang said indicates _.alondon still has serious air pollution after 50 years of effortbthe development of china is more importantcsolving environmental problems requires great effortdits normal for china to have environmental problems(二)they already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆)or alzheimers disease.alzheimers disease can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water.the dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers(触发器) in the home that cause them to perform tasks.the duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep regularly.the idea was developed by design students at the glasgow school of art and will now be put into practice by alzheimers scotland and dogs for the disabled.the first dogs will be distributed to four scottish couples, where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia.some 670,000 people in britain have dementia and one in three over 65s will develop the condition.by 2021 this is expected to rise to one million.joyce gray of alzheimers scotland said，“people in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.”another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship.ms gray said，“the evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets.its such a strong bond that people often remember them longest.people dont need to communicate verbally(言语地) but they can still interact.you can have a speechless bond.”helen mccain, director of dogs for the disabled, said，“people with dementia often forget to take the medicine.if a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it, theres a greater chance of them taking it.the dogs would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.”5in britain people with dementia _.aare likely to increase in numberbare mostly over 65 years oldcwill be trained to respond to sound triggersdwill be able to live a relatively normal life6the dogs are taught to perform tasks by _.amaking some sound signalsbcommunicating with the patientscreminding the patients by barkingdreacting to some sound triggers7what does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to?afaces. btriggers.cpets. dcompanions.8what is mainly talked about in the passage?athe idea of dogs for the dementia was developed by students.bdogs are trained to assist alzheimers patients.cbritish people with alzheimers disease are in poor condition.dthe dementia dogs perform most duties of a doctor.(三)losing your luggage on a flight could soon be a thing of the past after an airline developed a bag that is impossible to lose. according to the latest industry figures, about 4 pieces of luggage will be lost on the average boeing 747 flight. passengers are most likely to lose a bag when changing flights, especially if the connection time is short.one of the major reasons for luggage being lost is that the paper tags carrying the bar code(条形码) are ripped off as cases are shunted(使转轨) along conveyor belts to the aircraft. it was this that led to the loss of thousands of bags at londons heathrow airport in march, 2008.this luggage technology, known as bag2go, involves fixing a satellite tracker and a bar code onto the suitcase. using a smart phone, a passenger sends details of their flight to the airline which in turn sends back a bar code which is shown on the display unit of the case. each bar code is unique carrying details of the traveller, flight and destination.once on board a plane, a passenger can use a smart phone application to check that the bag is in place and inform flight crew if its not there. should the bag be loaded onto the wrong plane, satellite technology and the bar code means that it will be easily traced. it will enable the case to be delivered to the correct destination and returned to its owner.at the same time, the passenger can keep track of the bag with the help of a mobile phone application, which has a number of functions, including informing a passenger if somebody tries to tamper(胡乱摆弄) with the bag.the technology is still being developed by airbus, tsystems, a telecommunications company and rimowa, a suitcase manufacturer.passengers will be able to buy the bags, although renting them is another possibility. the advanced technology means that there may be no luggage conveyor belts in our future, as the satellite technology could mean bags are transported independently and directly from your house to the airplanes hold, and finally to your hotel.9what problem is the luggage technology meant to solve?athe problem of delayed flights.bthe problem of too much luggage on board.cthe problem of boarding the wrong flight.dthe problem of missing ones luggage.10what do we know about“bag2go”according to the passage?ait is equipped with a satellite tracker and a bar code.bpassengers can have their luggage at hand when boarding the plane.cit is only designed to get the lost luggage back.dit can transport your luggage directly to your hotel.11what information is carried on the bar code mentioned in paragraph 3?athe details of what is put inside the luggage.bthe details of the traveller, flight and destination.cwhen and where the passenger can change flights.dthe introduction of the boeing 747 flight.12what will happen to a suitcase with the new bar code when its loaded onto the wrong plane?athe flight crew will inform the passenger that the bag is not in place.bno one will be able to tamper with the bag once its traced.cthe case will be delivered to the correct destination and returned to its owner.dthe satellite tracker will send out warning message to the airport.专题限时训练(二十九)【时闻型阅读理解】 (一)【文章大意】 本文是一篇关于中国采取措施整治环境污染，减少雾霾的新闻报道。在文中作者提到了西安的空气质量，提到了西安市民以及政府对此采取的应对措施，也提到了国家为了整治环境污染而采取的措施，并且指出整治污染是一个长期的过程。1c主旨大意题。本文是新闻报道，在文章首段提出文章的中心，即中国已经启动紧急预案并且采取长期措施来应对雾霾天气，由此判断c选项内容更能体现文章中心，故选c项。2b词义猜测题。根据第四段的“a city government emergency response plan was put into action”可知，后文是对紧急应对计划的解释，由此推断应该是停止正在建设的工程，以减少污染，故b项正确。3c推理判断题。根据第六段内容可知，为了保护环境，考虑人们的健康，国家取消了仅仅依靠gdp做出的评估，由此推断仅靠看经济增长来进行评定的措施是不利于环境保护的，故c项正确。4c推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“we cant ignore environmental problems
