What we typically call “smog” today is a mixture of pollutants but is primarily made up of groundlevel ozone (臭氧)Ozone can be beneficial or harmful depending on where it stays. The ozone staying high above the Earth protects human health and the environment, but groundlevel ozone is responsible for the choking, coughing, and painful eyes associated with smog. The ozone in smog also prevents plants growth and can cause widespread damage to crops and forest.Major smog occurrences often are linked to heavy motor vehicle traffic, high temperatures, sunshine, and calm winds. Weather and geography affect the position and severity of smog. Because temperature regulates the length of time it takes for smog to form, smog can form faster and be more severe on a hot and sunny day. When warm air stays near the ground instead of rising and winds are calm, smog may stay trapped over your city for days. As traffic and other sources add more pollutants to the air, the smog gets worse. Smog is often more severe away from the pollution sources because the chemical reactions that cause smog occur in the atmosphere while the reacting chemicals are being moved by the wind.Smog is a visible example of air pollution. You can look into the distance during the day to see how much smog there is in the air. In addition, most cities measure the concentrations of pollutants in the air and report the results to the public.Environmental Protection Agency sets national standards for pollutants. Areas that fail to meet the standards for at least one air pollutant are called “nonattainment (不达标) areas”. New measures are being taken by local governments across the country to reduce air pollution in nonattainment areas. These include: banning charcoal barbecues and wood burning in stoves or fireplaces when pollution levels are high; developing programs to encourage carpooling and voluntary “ozone actions”； limiting traffic in overcrowded areas; expanding or improving public transportation systems; requiring employers to contribute to employee public transportation costs; assessing “smog fees” on cars according to the number of miles driven and vehicle emissions (排放) produced; and even buying and breaking up older “superdirty” cars.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要谈论了烟雾的形成原因、危害以及地方政府针对这一现象所采取的应对措施。8According to the passage, groundlevel ozone can_.Adamage the environmentBbenefit human healthCprotect crops and forestDlimit the spread of smog解析：选A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“.but groundlevel ozone is . damage to crops and forest.”可知，地平面上的臭氧对环境和人体是有坏处的。故选A。9Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AAir quality is better in time of calm wind.BSmog is more severe near pollution sources.CIt takes more time for smog to form in hot weather.DChemical reactions occur in the moving air and cause smog.解析：选D正误判断题。根据第三段最后一句中的“because the chemical reactions . by the wind”可知，化学反应在流动的空气里发生并且导致了烟雾。故选D。10Which indication shows more exact the air is poor?AHeavy motor vehicle traffic in big cities.BWidespread damage of crops and forest.CClear outlines of hills in the distance.DHigh concentrations of pollutants in the air.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知，空气中高浓度的污染物能较准确地表明空气质量差。故选D。11What is included in the measures being taken by the local governments?AUnconditional banning of wood burning.BEncouraging carpooling and public transportation.CCharging all the vehicles more “smog fees”DBuying new cars to replace superdirty old cars.解析：选B细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“developing programs to encourage carpooling .”以及“expanding or improving public transportation systems” 可知，地方政府采取的措施包括鼓励人们拼车，扩大和改进公共交通运输体系等。故选B。D(2016合肥市第二次质量检测)Personal moneymanagement website Mint. com suggests recently that responsible parents should give their kids credit cards possibly starting as young as middle school. The website says a credit card will help children master responsible spending habits and give parents the chance to teach them some valuable lessons.Its absolutely true that kids should learn about how a credit card works and how to use it responsibly. But the idea that they need a card of their own to practise is questionable.Yes, credit cards are a teaching tool, but its the time you spend educating them about money management that does the teaching, not the piece of plastic. Sit down with your child here we are referring to teens and walk them through your credit card statements. Point out important things like the due date, late fee warning, and APR (年贷款利率)If you have good credit, adding a child as an authorized user onto one of your credit cards also provides teachable moments. Allow kids to use the card to make specific purchases and require their participation in payment.Since the card is still in your name, you can take them off it at any point and cut off their access if theyre not able to handle the responsibility.Another option is to set them up with an account at a local bank that offers free use of a debit card (借记卡). Unlike credit card, the debit card has no overdraft (透支) function. Children can only use the card to pay for things and the money is taken directly from their bank account. If the account is empty, the worst that will happen is the card being declined at a cash register.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。一家网站认为给孩子办理信用卡有助于孩子养成良好的消费习惯，增强他们的责任感。但是作者认为，父母教育孩子管理钱财的最好办法是把孩子添加为自己的信用卡授权用户或为孩子建立借记卡账户。12Why does Mint. com advise parents to give middle school kids credit cards?ATo leave their kids financially independent.BTo help their kids form good spending habits.CTo teach their kids how to save pocket money.DTo strengthen the relationship with their kids.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，该网站认为，父母给孩子办理信用卡有助于孩子养成良好的消费习惯。故选B项。13The author considers a credit card as a teaching tool because _.Ait motivates teens to ask their parents for less financial supportBit helps teenagers to know some basic knowledge of credit cardsCit contains detailed financial information on the cardsurfaceDit offers parents the chance to teach kids to managemoney解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，作者认为信用卡是一种教育工具，是因为孩子使用信用卡给了父母一个教孩子如何管理钱财的机会。故选D项。14What is the purpose of adding kids as credit card authorized users?ATo avoid extremely high overdraft fees.BTo encourage them to share household expenses.CTo teach them to be responsible credit card users.DTo help them pay close attention to their bank account.解析：选C细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“. adding a child as an authorized user . require their participation in payment.”和倒数第二段中“if theyre not able to handle the responsibility”可知，把孩子添加为信用卡授权用户，可以使孩子为自己的消费买单，这有助于孩子成为有责任心的信用卡用户。故选C项。15What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?AFurther information about the debit card.BThe overdraft functions of a debit card.CMore disadvantages of credit cards.DThe kids attitude towards a credit card.解析：选A预测推断题。文章的最后一段提到了另一种选择是为孩子们建立借记卡账户，并简单介绍了其与信用卡的不同，由此可推知，文章接下来最有可能会介绍借记卡的更多信息。故选A项。.阅读七选五(2016石家庄市高三教学质检一)Attending college after high school isnt for everyone.
