庭发现，他们75岁的健康奶奶订购了价值1万美元的药品。另一个家庭发现，他们三岁的孩子不识字，

的”。故选A。

[32题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第一段"However,twoprofessorsatOhioUniversityhavecomeupwithawaytohelp

withtheclean-upbycollectingtheironoxidefrompollutedriverstomakePigmentS（颜料）forartists.（然而，俄亥

不再需要的矿山往往会被直接废弃。结果，许多矿山变成了污染者，AMD影响了俄亥俄州1300英里的河

流。）”可推断，第二段主要介绍了一些背景知识，告诉读者为什么会有这么多的河流被氧化铁所污染。故

选B。

【34题详解】

料很受艺术家的欢迎。故选A。
