Although well trained, the birds were only willing to stay in the air a few minutesor less when wearing their backpacks and flying at 6ihigh altitudes. So it39。 The wind tunnel experiments showed that when the concentration of oxygen was at its lowestlike the 7% found on top of Mount Everest versus 21% at sea level—the geese39。 The team trained the youngsters to fly in a large wind tunnel wearing backpacks and face masks full of sensors that recorded their heart rate. blood oxygen levels, temperature, and metabolic rate—how many calories they burned per hour. The researchers simulated(模擬)10w, medium, and highaltitude conditions by altering the concentration of oxygen supplied to face masks worn by each goose as it flew in the tunnel.7．閱讀理解 故選B。本文敘述了隨著城市的發(fā)展和越來越多的人口流動(dòng)，城市規(guī)模的擴(kuò)大，印度的新德里成為世界上污染最嚴(yán)重的城市。故選A。根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，汽車和用煤發(fā)電的發(fā)電廠會(huì)“排放或釋放”污染物的。根據(jù)第五段中的“New Delhi, is engulfed each year as the weather cools and a thick haze builds up from the pollutants emitted from cars and coalbased power plants, swirling dust from construction sites and roads and smoke from crop stubble burning in neighboring states.”本句是說新德里每年都籠罩在污染中。所以生產(chǎn)防污染口罩的廠家要加大生產(chǎn) ，是不會(huì)抱怨的，故選C。學(xué)校、大學(xué)、醫(yī)院和市場分發(fā)了數(shù)百萬個(gè)防污染口罩。 （2）考查推理判斷。由此可判斷出政府幾乎沒有保護(hù)其公民免受嚴(yán)重污染。慶祝印度排燈節(jié)的煙花爆竹隨后到達(dá)，使德里現(xiàn)在成為世界上污染最嚴(yán)重的城市；以及第四段中的“Millions of antipollution masks were distributed at schools, colleges, hospitals and markets.” 在學(xué)校、學(xué)院、醫(yī)院和市場上分發(fā)了數(shù)以百萬計(jì)的防污口罩。根據(jù)第三段“Air pollution in Indians capital surged to its worst levels in years, covering the city in a thick smog that has bee an annual publichealth emergency despite government vows to solve the problem.”印度首都的空氣污染飆升至多年來最嚴(yán)重的水平，籠罩著這座城市的濃霧已成為年度公共衛(wèi)生緊急事件，盡管政府誓言要解決這個(gè)問題；第五段“New Delhi, is engulfed each year as the weather cools and a thick haze builds up from the pollutants emitted from cars and coalbased power plants, swirling dust ..., leaving Delhi the world39。雖然政府發(fā)誓解決污染問題，但由于污染嚴(yán)重，整個(gè)新德里處于危險(xiǎn)的污染中，人們必須戴防污口罩，冬天天氣寒冷污染物成霧霾，成為世界是污染最嚴(yán)重的城市。 The city39。New Delhi, is engulfed each year as the weather cools and a thick haze builds up from the pollutants emitted from cars and coalbased power plants, swirling dust from construction sites and roads and smoke from crop stubble burning in neighboring states.
