A
The researchers’ findings will hardly come as a surprise to those who study air pollution. Previous research has shown that outdoor air pollution causes more than 3 million deaths annually and suggested that the figure could double by 2050.
Another study suggested that air pollution causes 1. 6 million premature(早产儿)deaths annually in China alone. Policy makers across the globe have responded to air pollution with a number of new regulations, many of which focus on limiting pollution from coal. China stopped approval of new coal mines for three years at the end of 2015 and has issued strict requirements along the lines of those in the U. S. for new coal-fired power plants. Cities in China have also developed warning systems to get cars off the streets and limit industrial pollution during periods of intense smog. But even these policies may still be met by increases in mortality (死亡率)as aging populations are increasingly suffering from the problems associated with pollution.
“China might move in the right direction in terms of air pollution, but it’s going to have to continue revising policies just like the U. S. and Europe, ” said Dan Greenbaum, president of Health Effects Institute, which supported the research.
And, while premature deaths due to pollution in the U. S. and Europe have declined in recent decades, cities in the West have still taken steps to reduce pollution. Air pollution kills more than 200, 000 in Europe and nearly 80, 000 in the U. S. each year, according to the research. The benefits of addressing air pollution extend beyond the people who experience the health effects of poor air directly.
“One of the unique things about air pollution is that you can’t run, you can’t hide from it, ” said study researcher Michael Brauer, a professor at the University of British Columbia, in a video accompanying the presentation. “But we know that if you improve air quality, everybody benefits from it. ”
1. What has changed under the new policies in China?
A. No more new coal mines are allowed until 2018.
B. Cars can’t be driven in big cities.
C. Less aging population are dying from air pollution.
D. Factories polluting air are forbidden to work.
2. What should China do according to Dan Greenbaum?
A. Change the ways of dealing with air pollution.
B. Seek for help from the U. S. and Europe.
C. Release more strict policies.
D. Adjust the policies constantly.
3. What can be inferred about the U. S. and Europe from the last but one paragraph?
A. They have settled their environmental problems.
B. They have cut their premature deaths to the lowest.
C. Measures are still being taken to deal with pollution.
D. Population killed by air pollution have increased.

Royale is surrounded by deep blue waters of Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake on Earth. The only way to get there is by boat or sea plane. The National Park Service operates shuttle boats that take visitors to Isle Royale. The boats leave from two Michigan ports. A boat trip to Isle Royale takes three to five hours. Waters are often extremely rough.
Modern copper mining began in the late 1800s, resulting in large areas of the island being burned. This led to settlement development. Soon, Isle Royale became popular for summer homes. It became a national park on April 3, 1940. In 1980, officials named it an International Biosphere Reserve(生物圈保护区)because of its unique ecosystem.
Isle Royale offers hiking, camping, boating, and even scuba diving. The National Park Service protects 11 sunken(沉没的)boats for divers to explore. They are reminders of Lake Superior’s commercial shipping history. The sunken wooden ship called The America is one of the most popular dive sites. The America carried passengers, mail, and supplies to many towns along the shores of Lake Superior. It first launched in 1898, and was used until 1928, when it was damaged. It sank to the bottom of the lake soon after.
Visitors to Isle Royale share the trails with a well-studied population of wolves. Scientists believe wolves walked there during a freeze of the lake sometime in the 1940s. Researchers closely record their population numbers. Much of the research takes place during the winter, when the trees are bare. The researchers fly over the island to observe the animals from above.
Animal research is the only winter activity going on at Isle Royale. The national park is closed each year in late October because of the terrible weather conditions and reopens in spring time the next year.
But for the other months of the year, Isle Royale offers green forests, and clear blue waters. Its excellent scenery and unusual location keep visitors returning year after year.
4. What is mainly talked about in the first paragraph?
A. The access to the island.
B. The island’s location.
C. The island’s natural environment.
D. The island’s basic information.
5. How long is the history of the National Park?
A. More than two centuries. B. Over seventy years.
C. Less than forty years. D. Over one hundred years.
6. The sunken boats and ship are considered as ________.
A. a site where people seek pleasure and wealth
B. a lesson that reminds people to remember the disasters
C. an underwater museum where people can see many relics
D. a history book that shows the commercial shipping in the area
7. The researchers fly over the island in winter because ________.
A. there are more animals then
B. they can have a clear look at the animals there
C. they don’t intend to disturb the animals
D. the island can’t be reached with the lake frozen
