Question

【題目】 Yousuf and his family left their home in eastern Afghanistan eight years ago. They went to the city of Kabul to escape war, but they could not escape sadness. Five of Yousuf's children died in the Afghan capital, not from violence, but from air pollution.

Kabul has become one of the most polluted cities in the world. On many days, a mix of smog and smoke lies over the city. In some cases, families burn whatever they can to keep warm in cold weather. The air in their own homes then poisons them. Many years of war have worsened the damage to Afghanistan's environment. At the local Children's Hospital, doctors say they have seen the number of patients with pollution-related health problems increase. Saifullah Abassin, a doctor at the hospital, says his hospital ward(病房) can hold 10 patients but often has three times that number.

“Thirty years ago, it was a wish for people to come to Kabul and breathe its air,” said Ezatullah Sediqi, deputy director for the National Environmental Protection Agency. “But in the wars since, we lost all our urban infrastructure(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施) for water, electricity, public transportation, green areas, all these things.”

Kabul's environmental department has started a program to control old vehicles, one major source of pollution. City officials have called on people to use fuel instead of burning garbage for heat. But there are other steps officials need to take, such as passing a plan to stop unplanned development and creating more green spaces.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】B

【解析】

這是一篇說(shuō)明文。作者介紹了阿富汗的污染比戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)更危險(xiǎn)。作者認(rèn)為雖然環(huán)保部門啟動(dòng)了控制污染源的方案，但官方還需要進(jìn)一步努力來(lái)解決污染的問(wèn)題。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第一段中的Yousuf and his family left their home in eastern Afghanistan eight years ago. They went to the city of Kabul to escape war,… Yousuf和他的家人8年前離開(kāi)了他們?cè)诎⒏缓箹|部的家。為了逃避戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)他們?nèi)チ丝Σ紶��？芍�是�?zhàn)爭(zhēng)使Yousuf和他的家人離開(kāi)了家，選項(xiàng)A切題，故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。最后一句But there are other steps officials need to take, such as passing a plan to stop unplanned development and creating more green spaces. 但官方還需要采取其他措施，比如通過(guò)一項(xiàng)計(jì)劃來(lái)阻止計(jì)劃外開(kāi)發(fā)，并創(chuàng)造更多的綠地�？芍�，創(chuàng)造更多的綠地是解決污染問(wèn)題，而不是阿富汗環(huán)境問(wèn)題的原因，題目問(wèn)的就是“哪個(gè)不是……原因”，選項(xiàng)B創(chuàng)造綠地，切題，故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。文章第一段就提出了air pollution，接著又有Afghanistan's environment，還有pollution等，可知，文章是介紹阿富汗日益嚴(yán)重的污染問(wèn)題，所以這篇文章應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)在報(bào)紙上與環(huán)境相關(guān)的部分，選項(xiàng)B切題，故選B。
