21、 PM2.5 refers to fine particles (2.5 micrometres or smaller in diameter ), which are produced by combustion (氧化),including motor vehicles , power plants , forest fires, and some industrial processes .
The WHO tracks air quality ( how much PM 2.5 is in the air ) at 1622 locations in 92 countries -- but all are urban areas , while Pakistan , Egypt and Mongolia are among the most polluted countries according to the report , this only refers to pollution in its cities . Air quality in the Karakoram mountain range or the Gobi Desert will, of course , be fresh .Similarly ,Russia appears to be among the worst performing countries -- but its ranking is based only on air quality in Moscow . Of the 92 countries to feature , Australia has the least polluted urban areas , followed by Brunei and New Zealand. Estonia is Europe’s top performing nation ,followed by Finland and Iceland .The UK just misses out on the top 20, coming 21st. .
London’s annual PM2.5 mean is 12μg/m3. That puts it below the WHO target and behind a lot of world capitals. Of those countries for which the WHO had data ,Madrid , Oslo , Dublin, Montevideo, Helsinki, Ottawa , Washington DC and Canberra perform better than London .Top of the table are Stockholm and Tallinn, with an annual mean of 5μg/m3, followed by Edinburgh ,with 6. London exceeds Paris and Berlin , however ( both 16), and is the same as Lisbon (also 12).
Stockholm was the first city to be crowned European Green Capital in 2010---and it clearly hasn’t rested on its great honors . Since taking the accolade (荣誉),the Swedish capital has continued to keep on with eco-initiatives and has successfully decreased carbon emissions by 25 per cent since the Nineties. The city aims to be fossil-fuel free by 2050 , a target it hopes to achieve by improving public transport ,decreasing waste and increasing biodiversity, among other things . The city also has a strong culture of cycling , which has kept many residents out of cars .

Today we’ll talk about reading.When we read a text,our eyes move across a page in short,quick movements.We recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate(停留,凝视).Each time they fixate,we see a group of words.This is known as the recognition span or the visual span(视幅).The length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to person.It also varies within any parson according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text.In addition,it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.
Unfortunately,in the past,many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the page.As a result of this misleading emphasis(强调)on the purely visual aspects of reading,many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation.For example,in some exercises,words are flashed on to a screen for a tenth of a second.One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point,taking in the words on either side.Such word patterns are often formed in the shape of pyramids(金字塔),so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive(连续的)fixation.All these exercises are very clever,but it' s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words.Consequently,for these reasons,many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training,especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated(孤立的)words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.
【1】The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following factors except ______________.
A.1ighting and tiredness
B. the length of a group of words
C.one’s purpose in reading
D.one’s familiarity with the text
【2】The author may believe that reading ______________.
A.requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation
B.requires a reader to see words more quickly
C.demands a deeply-participating mind
D.demands more eyes than mind
【3】What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?
A.The ability to see words is not needed for an efficient reading.
B.The reading exercises mentioned are useless for reading.
C.The reading exercises mentioned can’t help improve reading.
D.The reading exercises mentioned have done a great job so far.
【4】Which of the following is NOT true? _______________.
A.The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time
B.Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training
C.The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading
D.The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text
【5】The tune of the author in writing this text is _________________.
A.critical B.neutral
C.supportive D.optimistic
23、It was 3:34 in the morning. Suddenly the bed moved a little. I woke up. That bed used to move a lot so I just thought it was my wife rolling over. I looked over to her and she was fast asleep.
So I thought it was just another small tremor(轻微地震). We used to get many small tremors in Chile. But then everything in the room started making noise. The tremor got a bit stronger. My wife woke up.
I went to open the front door to make sure it wouldn’t get stuck while my wife went to see how the kids were. They were still fast asleep.
I got to the front door and left it open. When I turned around to go back to the bedroom, the full force of the earthquake started to hit. I couldn’t move forward. While I was trying to hold myself up against the wall I looked out the window. It was frightening, some buildings coming in and out of view and some already falling down. Then the earthquake made a strong push and our lights went out. In the darkness, I thought, “This is it! We’re not coming out of this alive.”
Luckily, the violent shaking gradually slowed down and then stopped. I could finally walk to our children’s room. My wife had been standing over them during the strongest part of the earthquake, making sure nothing fell on them.
After such a big earthquake, we expected the “smaller” aftershocks to be still very strong. There was still a chance that the building could collapse. So we woke the kids up, got some basic things and started to walk down the emergency stairs all 22 floors of them.
When we finally arrived at the ground floor many other people had already arrived, some in pajamas(睡衣), some half-dressed. The good news was everyone got out of the building safe and sound.
【1】What woke the author up?
A.The crying of his children.
B.The movement of his bed.
C.The movement of his wife.
D.The noise of things shaking.
【2】The earthquake got really strong when
A.the author’s wife woke up.
B.the author looked out the window.
C.the author was opening the front door.
D.the author was on his way to the bedroom.
【3】What happened when the author looked out the window?
A.People were crying and running around.
B.The city’s electricity was suddenly cut off.
C.Buildings outside were pushing against each other.
D.The building he lived in was moving from side to side.
【4】What does the underlined word “collapse” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A.Heat up.
B.Go silent.
C.Fall down.
D.Turn over.

Dozens of old people gather in public parks and squares early in the morning and night, turn on the loudspeakers and dance to the music, which has been controversial(引起争议的) because of the noise pollution it creates. Guangzhou is the first city in China to have drafted a rule on the creation of silent zones in areas of parks that are close to schools, hospitals, offices and residential quarters.
