According to World Health Organization, two of the 10 most polluted cities in the world in 2020 were in China. About 800,000 deaths that are linked to air pollution take place in the country every year. However, such inhalers should never be an excuse for not trying to stop air pollution, said Professor Jean Krutmann at the Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine. “The best thing is that we have clean air and we don’t need any prophylactic (預(yù)防性的 ) treatment,” he said. 28. What is the new inhaler? A. It can help protect the environment. B. It can help us reduce the harm of air pollution. C. It can solve the air pollution problem. D. It can make the dirty air clean. 29. From the third paragraph, we learn that ______. A. the inhaler es from a US pany B. the inhaler is named Ectoine C. a molecule in the inhaler forms a layer on lungs D. the inhaler’s price will not be too high for most people 30. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Air pollution kills millions of people a year worldwide. B. Air pollution can cause mental illness. C. There are no air pollution problems in Europe. D. Air pollution is a serious problem in China. 31. Which is Professor Jean Krutmann’s opinion? A. Such inhalers mean much to people. B. We should take action to control air pollution. C. We can depend on inhalers to solve air pollution problems. D. We’d better produce more medicines to treat lung diseases. D Some people surveyed tasted the sweet, salty, and crunchy together with other tastes of food as they listen to different noises. It shows that louder noises reduced the reported sweetness or saltiness of food while increasing the measure of crunchiness(松脆 ). It may go some way to explain why airline food is widely plained about by both the workers and passengers. Andy Woods, a researcher, said, “It’s a general opinion that plane foods aren’t fantastic, but I’m sure airlines do their best, so we wondered if there were other reasons. One thought was that perhaps the background noise may have an effect. NASA gives their space explorers very strongtasting foods, because for some reason, they can’t taste food that strongly—again, it may have something to do with the background noise.” In a study, 48 people were fed sweet foods or salty ones, while listening to nothing or noise through earphones. Meanwhile they rated(劃分等級 ) the foods. In noisier settings, foods were rated less salty or sweet than they were when it was silent, but were rated crunchier. “The evidence shows that if the background noise is loud, your attention might be drawn to that, away from the food.” Dr. Woods said. “We are still at an early stage of progressing and this is a rather small study to really draw definitive(最完整可靠的 ) conclusions from,” Dr Woods said, “but they suggest that restaurants could well adapt their choice of food for a given environment.” Also in the group’s findings there is the suggestion that the overall satisfaction with the food is also related to the degree to which people like what they are hearing. 32. How does the food taste when it is eaten in a noisy environment? A. Less salty but crunchier. B. Sweeter and saltier. C. Sweeter but less crunchy. D. Less sweet and crunchy. 33. Why does NASA give their space explorers very strongtasting foods? A. Foods bee less tasty in space. B. The explorers lose their sense of taste in space. C. Loud noises in space may weaken the explorers’ sense of taste. D. The explorers need tastier foods to keep energetic in space. 34. We can infer from what Dr. Woods said in the 4th paragraph that ___________. A. the environment influences the food a restaurant sells B. the researchers have made an effective conclusion C. music will weaken people’s sense of taste while eating D. listening to nothing while eating is the best choice 35. What would be the best title for the text? A. The best dinner environment B. How to change plane foods C. Listening to music while eating D. Background noise affects the taste of foods 第二節(jié)：（共 5小題：每小題 2分，滿分 10分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 If happy is what you want to be, you must take responsibility and stop expecting things or people to make you happy.
