But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.Previous s
26、tudies have linked high exposure (暴露)to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problems, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风)within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people e
27、xposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物)were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好)quality
28、and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure.
29、However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇调查研究
30、报告。作者以具体的调查研究数据，让读者了解到，比起吃脂肪含量过多的食物、锻炼少以及抽烟来说，我们呼吸的空气更会即时地导致心脏疾病。1. The text mainly discusses the relations hip between _.A.heart problems and air qualityB.heart problems and exercisingC.heart problems and smokingD.heart problems and fatty food解析:选 A。主旨大意题。文章第二段第一句话点明主题，but 表转折，重点体现在 but two analyse
31、s now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中风) within as little as a few hours after exposure；文章第二、三段的数据及其分析对此进行了说明。2.The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means _.A.relatively high B.extremely lowC.relatively low D.extremely high解析:选 C。词义猜测题。根据关键信息 rela
32、tively small，and certainly 可以看出，此处modest 与 relatively small 意思相近，C 项正确。extremely“极其” ，不合题意，此处说:两项研究均强调，与诸如吸烟和高血压这样的危险因素来说，这些危险因素(呼吸污染或质量不高的空气的危险)的危险性对健康的人来说相对低一些。3.What can we learn from the text?A.Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.B.The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.
33、C.Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking.D.Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.解析:选 D。推理判断题。A 项由第一段中 future 一词可排除；B 项文章未提及；第三段首句表明一般的空气质量比吸烟危险性低，C 项错误；文章最后一句表达了作者的看法: 环境保护局对污染物质的严格规定或许不仅能提高环境空气质量，而且可能会成为保护公众健康的必要因素。由此推理可知，应该对污染物质做出更严格的规定，D 项正确。4.The authors purpose of writing the text is most likely to _. A.inform B.persuadeC.describe D.entertain解析:选 A。作者意图题。作者以具体的调查研究数据和分析说明空气更会即时地导致心脏疾病，是客观上有理有据地让读者有所了解，而不是主观上的劝告，也不是描述，更非为了娱乐。A 项正确。
