According to the World Health Organization, air pollution kills about________around the world each year.
Air pollution is a killer. The World Health Organization says it kills an estimated seven million people around the world each year. Even if polluted air does not kill us, it can make us very sick. However, breathing dirty air may do more than hurt your body. It can also affect your brain and your ability to think.
A new study shows that air pollution can cause a "huge" reduction in our intelligence. The study was a project involving researchers at Peking University in China and Yale University in the United States. The researchers reported that long-term exposure to air pollution can affect a person’s mental abilities in two areas: language and mathematics.
The researchers studied about 25, 000 people from across China. Between 2010 and 2014, these Chinese men, women and children were given language and math tests. Then researchers compared the test results with measurements of pollution in the air, namely nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide.
Xi Chen of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing polluted air can reduce a person’s education level by about one year. 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 interestingly, males are more affected than females. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors. "
The researchers noted that the effect of pollution on verbal ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated.
In May 2018, the WHO reported that nine of every 10 people worldwide are breathing polluted air. The study we described earlier found that people who work outdoors fall into a high-risk group. However, that does not mean those who work inside buildings are safe from air pollution.
选项
A、More educated young men.
B、More educated young women.
C、Less educated old men.
D、Less educated old women.
答案
C
解析
特定信息的找寻和推断。本题干询问的是“在哪类人群中,污染对语言能力的影响更加严重”,干扰选项的设置如下:A选项“More educated young men”是指教育程度较高的年轻男性,B选项“More educated young women”是指教育程度较高的年轻女性,这两个选项的区别在于“年轻男性或女性”。C选项“Less educated old men”是指教育程度较低的年长男性,D选项“Less educated old women”是指教育程度较低的年长女性,这两个选项之间的区别在于“年长男性或女性”。A、B两个选项与C、D两个选项之间的区别在于受教育程度的高低和年龄。此题在选择时,注意题干关键词“verbal ability”的定位,当关键词出现时,要注意听辨原文信息,重点关注原文中出现的区分点“年龄”“性别”以及“受教育程度”。原文“The researchers noted that the effect of pollution on verbal ability is even more serious as people age.especially among men and the less educated”表述的意思是“随着人们年龄的增长,尤其是在男性和受教育程度较低的人群中,污染对语言能力的影响更加严重”。由此可见,合理的推断选项应该是C选项“Less educated old men”,即“受教育程度较低的年长男性”。
