　　Cities need to put efforts to deal with pollution and clear the air.

　　Chinese cities will need to put efforts to clear up the sky when a new department to improve regional air quality is set up by 2024，according to the latest plan released by the State Council.

　　Besides the existing pollution control program for S02，regional emission caps(區域排放上限) for other certain chemicals will be established in the three key air polluting areas—the Yangtze River Delta，Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.Coal-consumption caps will also be tried out in some areas，according to the plan.

　　The plan is aimed at dealing with regional air pollution—such as acid rain and smog—which have become increasingly obvious in China in recent years and caused a severe threat to people’s health，Zhang Lijun，vice-minister of environmental protection，said in an interview on Monday.

　　The air quality in a city affects the regions nearby because pollutants can travel through the atmosphere，said Chai Fahe，vice-director of Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences.

　　“So efforts to reduce air pollution in a single city，targeting a certain pollutant will not be enough，” Chai said.

　　Zhang said the country’s major industrial districts—the Yangtze River Delta，Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region—have recorded more than 100 misty days annually in recent years.

　　These three regions，home to at least 200 million people，occupy only 6.3 percent of the country’s area but consume 40 percent of the country’s coal and produce half of its steel，according to official figures.

　　Studies also show that the visibility(能見度) in eastern regions of China has dropped by 7 to 15 km compared to that in the early 1960s，as a result of air pollution.

　　Liaoning province，the Shandong Peninsula，Wuhan in Hubei province and its surrounding area，the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan region in Hunan province，the Chengdu-Chongqing region，and the western coast of the Taiwan Straits are also listed as areas to carry out such regional air pollution control programs，according to the plan.

　　The new plan also requires an improved air quality system，which will measure the pollution levels.“The current system，which only measures some major pollutants，cannot reflect the_true_picture.” said Chai.

　　16．It will not be enough to reduce air pollution in a single city because ________.

　　A．air pollution has been becoming more and more serious in recent years

　　B．air pollution like acid rain and smog is threatening people’s health

　　C．air pollutants in a city can travel in the sky and affect nearby areas

　　D．air pollutants stay in fixed places over the cities

　　17．Suppose the visibility in eastern regions of China was 130 km in the early 1960s，the visibility there nowadays is ________.

　　A．123 to 115 km

　　B．137 to 145 km

　　C．123 to 145 km

　　D．115 to 137 km

　　18．The main purpose of the passage is ________.

　　A．to inform readers of the damage caused by air pollution

　　B．to introduce the new plan to control air pollution

　　C．to provide official figures of air pollution levels

　　D．to point out the regions affected by air pollution

　　19．What does the underlined phrase “the true picture” in the last paragraph mean?

　　A．The major pollutants.

　　B．The key polluted areas.

　　C．The major polluted cities.

　　D．The pollution levels.

　　Ⅲ.任務型閱讀

　　請認真閱讀下列短文，并根據所讀內容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個最恰當的單詞。

　　注意：每個空格只填1個單詞。

　　Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted.Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem.One result is that millions of tons of glass，paper，plastic，and metal containers are produced，and these are difficult to get rid of.

　　However，today，more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment.Before they buy a product，they asked questions like these，“Will this shampoo damage the environment？” “Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once？”

　　A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it.This means the companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green”，that is，friendly to the environment.

　　Only a few years ago，it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets，but now there are hundreds.Some supermarket products carry labels(標簽) to show that the product is green.Some companies have made the manufacturing(生產) of clean and safe products as their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.

　　The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business.No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it，use it，throw it away，and forget it.” The public pressure is on，and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

　　課時作業(十四)

　　.1.A　考查冠詞。很多同學錯在第二個空to make _______ first impression上了。在做題的時候不夠細心，因為此題的句意是：第一印象是最持久的。畢竟，你永遠不可能再有一次機會去給別人留一次第一印象。本題強調的重點是“再有一次機會”a second chance；“留第一印象”用make the first impression表示。first為干擾因素。

　　2．D　考查動詞詞義辨析。句意：主要以夏洛克·福爾摩斯而取得非凡成功的柯南道爾以偵探小說正沖擊著市場。flow“流動”；control“控制”；charge“要價，索價；控告”；flood“淹沒；充滿；溢出；涌出”。根據句意可知選擇D項。

　　3．B　題意：我們若不能增加貨物的銷售量，明年就必須降低百分之十產量。 cut back on“削減，縮減”，是固定短語。by常用來表示程度和范圍增減的幅度，符合題意。to表示減少或增加到。

　　4．B　考查run out和run out of的用法。run out of 是及物動詞短語，后接賓語；run out是不及物動詞短語，不能跟賓語，也沒有被動語態，根據題意可知，選擇B項。

　　5．C　考查非謂語動詞。句意為：校園槍殺事件傳遍了整個縣，也引起了人們對學生在校安全的關注。The campus shooting和lead之間是主謂關系，并作spread的伴隨狀語，所以用leading。

　　6．C　考查數量詞和主謂一致。a number of后跟可數名詞復數，quantity of后可跟可數名詞復數也可跟不可數名詞，所以首先排除A和B，再根據quantity，謂語動詞用單數，如果是quantities時，謂語動詞則用復數形式。

　　7．D　考查名詞性從句和定語從句。句意：大家都知道，這個生活一度困難的善良女孩仍然堅持每天幫助周圍的老人。第一空引導主語從句，同時也作knows的賓語，所以選用what。第二空引導表語從句，用that。第三空引導定語從句，指代先行詞the kind girl，也作為for的賓語，所以用whom。

　　8．D　考查倍數表達。the number of…作主語時，其表語要用large，不能用many；倍數詞應放在同級比較句型中第一個as之前，綜上所述本題應選D。

　　9．D　is為謂語動詞，因此應當用動名詞短語作主語；concerning “有關的，關于”。根據題意應選D。

　　10．C　cut down

　　砍倒/減縮(費用); cut off 切掉，割。根據題意“在產品方面縮減”，應選C。

　　11．A　grow to 增加到(同become)；grow up 長大；grow into 變成。根據題意應選A。

　　12．A　考查代詞。句意：大家都清楚他考試不作弊是不可能獲得滿分的。It在句中作形式主語，真正的主語是后面的that從句。

　　13．B　考查非謂語動詞。根據句子結構可知，主句的主語是the boy，而tears則是flow的邏輯主語。在英語中兩個句子主語不一致時，需要用獨立結構來表達，即tears flowing down his cheeks quietly。原句為The boy was having an operation on the stomach and tears were flowing down his cheeks quietly.

　　14．C　考查交際用語。句意：“真倒霉。他們沒有錄用我。”“怎么會是那樣？你已為面試做好了充分準備。”So what那又怎么樣呢？What if如果……將會怎么樣？How come怎么會是那樣？ What about怎么樣？

　　15．B　考查非謂語動詞。句意：莉莉的手機意外地忘在出租車里了，再也沒有找到過。手機再也沒有被找到，故用被動語態，所以用never to be found作結果狀語。

　　.16.C　考查細節理解題。根據文章第5段第一句“The air quality in a city affects the regions nearby because pollutants(污染物)can travel through the atmosphere.”得出。

　　17．A　考查數字推斷題。根據文章倒數第3段“Studies also show that the visibility(能見度)in eastern regions of China has dropped by 7 to 15 km compared to that in the early 1960s，as a result of air pollution.”計算得出。

　　18．B　考查觀點理解題。根據第三段“Besides the existing pollution control program for ...air polluting areas...Coal-consumption caps will also be tried out in some areas，according to the plan.”，第四段“The plan is aimed at dealing with regional air pollution...”，以及最后一段第一行中的關鍵詞“pollution control program”，“the plan”以及“the new plan”可知。

　　19．D　考查詞語推測題。根據文章最后一段“The new plan also requires an improved air quality system，which will measure the pollution levels. ‘The current system，which only measures some major pollutants，cannot reflect the true picture，’ said Chai. ”得知the true picture指代上一句中的the pollution levels。

　　.20.Goes　21.Causes　22.polluted　23.caring

　　24．40/Forty　25.namely　26.asked　27.provided

　　28．as　29.make
