And he also said Europeans who go outside might want to consider wearing a mask.Other experts, however, werent convinced the volcanic ash would have a major effect on peoples health and said WHOs warnings were “hysterical.” They said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution. Volcanic ash is made of fine particles of fragmented volcanic rock. It is light gray to black and can be as fine as talcum powder. During a volcanic eruption, the ash can be breathed deep into the lungs and cause irritation even in healthy people. But once it falls from a greater distancelike from the cloud currently hovering above Europeits health effects are often minimal, experts say.“Not all particles are created equal，” said Ken Donaldson, a professor of respiratory toxicology at the University of Edinburgh，“In the great scheme of things, volcanic ash is not all that harmful.” And he said most Europeans exposure to volcanic ash would be negligible and that only those in the near vicinity of the Icelandic volcano would likely be at risk.Dr. Stephen Spiro, a professor of respiratory medicine and deputy chair of the British Lung Foundation, said the further the particles travel, the more diluted and less dangerous they will be. “The cloud has already passed over northern Scotland and we havent heard of any ill effects there，” he said. Spiro said to wear masks or stay indoors to avoid volcanic ash was “over the top” and “a bit hysterical.”1The text is mainly about _.Athe effect of volcanic ashBthe health risk of volcanic ashCthe disadvantages of volcanic ashDthe opinions on health risk of volcanic ash3The underlined word “hysterical” in Paragraph 3 most probably means _.AamazingBpracticalCvaluableDoverstatement【解析】词义猜测题。由上文中volcanic ash is not all that harmful和下文中only those in the near vicinity of the Icelandic volcano would likely be at risk可知D正确， 夸大的，言过其实的。【答案】D4What can we learn from the passage?AThe volcanic ash wouldnt be harmful to people.BAll experts thought the volcanic ash did great harm to our health.CPeople close to the volcano would likely be at risk according to other experts.DEuropeans should stay indoors because Icelands volcano starts settling.【解析】推理判断题。由第三段 But once it falls from a greater distance.effects are often minimal和第四段中 only those in the near vicinity of the Icelandic volcano would likely be at risk以及第五段中 the further the particles travel, the more diluted and less dangerous they will be可知C正确。【答案】CBYellowstone National Park is in the western state of Wyoming. It is the oldest national park in the world.Its great natural beauty has made it one of the most popular national parks.About three million people visit it each year.Yellowstone is built on an ancient volcano.A lake of hot liquid rock is about six kilometers under the park.This lake is about sixtyfive kilometers wide.Experts say this lake is under huge amounts of pressure.The pressure and heat cause hot water to shoot out of the ground and mud to boil at Yellowstone.The Yellowstone volcano has often been called a super volcano because it is so big.Scientists believe major volcanic activity in the Yellowstone area began about two millions years ago and this super volcano had three major explosions called eruptions.Each eruption threw out millions of tons of ash and rock. The last eruption formed the mountains and valley that visitors can see today in Yellowstone.Volcano experts say it is extremely difficult to tell when Yellowstone might become an active volcano again.However, earthquakes near the volcano are usually good evidence that the volcano might become active again.In 2001 the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory was established to study the volcanic system of Yellowstone.The information will help decide if Yellowstones huge volcano is becoming a danger.Then they could warn the public quickly if necessary.Experts at the observatory say Yellowstone represents some danger to the public.It always has.However,
