答案：

60.D.主旨大意题。本文主要就火山灰对人的健康的危害问题世卫组织和其

他专家给出不同观点。A太笼统;B不能体现不同的观点;C与文章内容无关;D符

合题意。

61.A.细节理解题。第三段最后一句可知A是正确的；由第三段中Duringa

volcaniceruption...inhealthypeople.可知B错误；由第三段中Other

experts,however,weren，tconvinced...cigarettesmokeorpollution

可排除CDo

和下文中onlythoseinthenearvicinityoftheIcelandicvolcanowould

likelybeatrisk可知D正确，夸大的，言过其实的。

63.C.由第三段Butonceitfallsfromagreaterdistance---..effects
