pollution.

A、causedwidespreaddamageinthecountryside

affectedtheentireeasternhalfoftheUnitedStates

C、haddamagingeffectsonhealth

D、existedmerelyinurbanandindustrialareas

标准答案：D'

知识点解析：细节题。本题问的是：在文章开头提到的，人们过去认为空气污染

o根据首句"Itwasoncethoughtthatairpollutionaffectedonlythearea

immediatelyaroundlargecitieswithfactoriesand/orheavyautomobilestraffic”可知曾

经有这样一种看法，即空气污染只会影响那些工厂云集、交通密集的大城市附近地

区。故选D。

59^Asfarasthegreenhouseeffectisconcerned,theauthor.

A、sharesthesameviewwiththescientists

B、isuncertainofitsoccurrence

C^rejectsitasbeingungrounded

D、thinksthatitwilldestroytheworldsoon

标准答案：B

知识点解析：作者态度题。本题问的是：就温室效应而言，作者。根据文章

第2段第3句"Atpresentwcdonotknowfbrsuretha*eitheroftheseconditionswill

happcn（thoughonerecentgovernmentreportpreparedbyexpertsinthefieldconcluded

thatthegreenhouseeffectisverylikely）”,可知目前我彳门不确定这两种情况哪种会发

生（虽然最近一份由这一领域专家提供的政府报告说温室效应极有可能发生儿由此

可见，作者对温室效应是否会发生并不确定，故选B。

60>Theword"offset"inthesecondparagraphcouldbestbereplacedby.

A、slipinto

B、makeupfor

C^setup

D、catchupwith

标准答案：B

知识点解析：词汇题。本题问的是：第二段中的“offset”可由一来代替。文章第

1段是关于温室效应产来的地球温度升高，第2段是关于新冰河时代带来的地球温

度降低。由文章最后一句"Ifweareverylucky,thetwotendencieswilloffseteach

otherandtheworld'stemperaturewillstayaboutthesameasitisnow”可知地球温度能

够保持不变的前提是这一升一降的趋势互相抵消，makeupfor有补偿、弥补的意

思，故选B。

61、Itcanbeinferredfromthepassagethat.

A、raisingtheworld'stemperatureonlyafewdegreeswouldnotdomuchharmtolife

B、loweringtheworld'stemperaturemerelyafewdegreesWouldleadmanymajor

farmingareastodisaster

C、almostnotemperaturevariationshaveoccurredoverthepastdecade

D、theworld'stemperaturewillremainconstantintheyearstocome

标准答案：B

知识点解析：推理题。本题问的是：从文章可推断o根据文章第2段第2句

“Adropofjustafewdegreescouldcreatesomethingclosetoanewiceage,andwould

makeagriculturedifficultorimpossibleinmanyofourtopfarmingareas"，可知温度仅

仅卜.降几度将会带来新冰河时代，而且会使许多主要农业产区生产变得极为困难甚

至停滞。故选B。

62、Thispassageisprimarilyconcernedwith.

A、thegreenhouseeffect

thebuntingoffossilfuels

C、thepotentialeffectofairpollution

D、thelikelihoodofanewiceage

标准答案：C

知识点解析：主旨题。本题问的是：这篇文章是主要关于o需要综合全文内

容，进行归纳和推理。本文论述了可能发生的温室效应和新冰河时代均为空气污染

造成的潜在后果。故选C。
