The study was a project involving researchers at Peking University in China and Yale University in the United States. s mental abilities in two areas: Language and math. Xi Chen of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing polluted air can reduce a person39。Chen said that the effect generally is worse for those over 64 years of age, for men and for those with little or no education. “The older persons—they are more affected. And we find, quite amazingly, males are more affected than females. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors. s 33 provinces. In his words, the data and facts are convincing and this range of ages and locations across the country provided a real, objective and representative sample. s intelligence. are more affected by air pollution than males. are more affected by air pollution than Chinese. working indoors are actually not affected by air pollution.（2）What did Chen say about the study? is doubtful. is extremely unfair. is mon and not representative. is relatively objective and persuasive.（3）What did the researchers emphasize in the last paragraph? data from the 33 provinces is convincing. whole world should pay attention to air pollution. less educated take more responsibility for air pollution. pollution39。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。s mental abilities in two areas: Language and math.”可知，研究人員報(bào)告說，長期暴露在空氣污染中會(huì)在兩個(gè)方面影響一個(gè)人的智力：語言和數(shù)學(xué)。故選A。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“In his words, the data and facts are convincing and this range of ages and locations across the country provided a real, objective and representative sample.”可知，用Xi Chen的話說，調(diào)查得到的數(shù)據(jù)和事實(shí)令人信服，全國各地的不同年齡和不同地方的人提供了真實(shí)，客觀和有代表性的研究樣本?！惫蔬xD。根據(jù)最后一段“The researchers noted that the effect of air pollution on verbal ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated. The researchers also stressed that every country, whether developed, developing or poor, should focus on air pollution or humans will face a bad situation.”可知，研究人員指出，隨著人們年齡的增長，空氣污染對(duì)言語能力的影響更加嚴(yán)重，尤其是在男性和文化程度較低的人群中。因此在最后一段中研究人員強(qiáng)調(diào)了全世界應(yīng)該注意空氣污染。 （4）考查推理判斷。該研究是一個(gè)由中國北京大學(xué)和美國耶魯大學(xué)的研究人員參與的項(xiàng)目。故選C。4．閱讀理解s mouth has tiny saws on it that saw into your skin on its way to suck out your blood. Like so many tropical diseases, sleeping sickness has often been neglected by medical researchers. However, researchers have long endeavored to understand how it avoids our bodies39。 There are two closelyrelated singlecelled parasites that cause this deathly sleep: Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T. b. gambiense. The latter is far more mon: it is responsible for up to 95% of cases, mostly in western Africa. It takes several years to kill a person, while T. brucei rhodesiense can cause death within months. There are still other forms that infect livestock. While medication does help, some treatments are toxic and can themselves be deadly, especially if they are given after the disease has reached the brain. Since then, better screening programmes and earlier interventions have reduced the number of cases dramatically. In 2009 there were fewer than 10,000 cases for the first time since records began, and in 2015 this figure dropped to fewer than 3,000, according to the latest figures from the World Health Organisation. The WHO hopes the disease will be pletely eliminated by 2020. More problematically, a series of new studies have shown that the parasite is more plicated than previously believed.it can put its thin mouthpart directly into your bloodall species of tsetse fly can transmit diseasesC.D.It is formally called＂human American trypanosomiasis＂.If left untreated, it can possibly be deadly.C.D.＂Sleeping sickness＂ will be pletely eliminated by 2020.The parasite causing ＂sleeping sickness＂ is easy to detect now.C.D.A mosquito that can carry deadly diseases.A bite from this fly puts you into a deadly sleep.C.D.(1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。sleeping sickness39。(2)考查推
