10．Cities need to put efforts to deal with pollution and clear the air．
Chinese cities will need to put efforts to clear up the sky when a new department to improve regional air quality is set up by 2015，according to the latest plan released by the State Council．
Besides the existing pollution control program for CO2，regional emission caps（區(qū)域排放上限） for other certain chemicals will be established in the three key air polluting areas-the Yangtze River Delta，Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region．Coal-consumption caps will also be tried out in some areas，according to the plan．
The plan is aimed at dealing with regional air pollution-such as acid rain and smog-which have become increasingly obvious in China in recent years and caused a severe threat to people's health，Zhang Lijun，vice minister of environmental protection，said in an interview on Monday．
The air quality in a city affects the areas nearby because pollutants can travel in the sky，said Chai Fahe，vice director of Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences．
"So efforts to reduce air pollution in a single city，targeting a certain pollutant（污染物） will not be enough，"Chai said．
Zhang said the country's major industrial districts-the Yangtze River Delta，Pearl River Delta and the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region-have recorded more than 100misty days annually in recent years．
These three regions，home to at least 200million people，occupy only 6.3percent of the country's area but consume 40percent of the country's coal and produce half of its steel，according to official figures．
Studies also show that the visibility（能見度） in eastern regions of China has dropped by 7to 15km compared to that in the early 1960s，as a result of air pollution．
Liaoning province，the Shandong Peninsula，Wuhan in Hubei province and its surrounding area，the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan region in Hunan province，the Chengdu-Chongqing region，and the western coast of the Taiwan Straits are also listed as areas to carry out such regional air pollution control programs，according to the plan．
The new plan also requires an improved air quality system，which will measure the pollution levels．"The current system，which only measures some major pollutants，cannot reflect thetruepicture．"said Chai．
57．It will not be enough to reduce air pollution in a single city becauseC．
A．a(chǎn)ir pollution has been becoming more and more serious in recent years
B．a(chǎn)ir pollution like acid rain and smog is threatening people's health
C．a(chǎn)ir pollutants in a city can travel in the sky and affect nearby areas
D．a(chǎn)ir pollutants stay in fixed places over the cities
58．Suppose the visibility in eastern regions of China was 130km in the early 1960s，the visibility there nowadays isA．
A.123to 115km B.137to 145km
C.123to 145km D.115to 137km
59．The main purpose of the passage isB．
A．to inform readers of the damage caused by air pollution
B．to introduce the new plan to control air pollution
C．to provide official figures of air pollution levels
D．to point out the regions affected by air pollution
60．What does the underlined phrase"the true picture"in the last paragraph mean？D
A．The major pollutants．
B．The key polluted areas．
C．The major polluted cities．
D．The pollution levels．
分析 空氣質(zhì)量由于污染而急劇下降，中國政府計(jì)劃將采取新措施來治理污染，尤其是在一些重污染區(qū)，如長三角、珠三角、京津冀等地．
解答 57．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第五段The air quality in a city affects the regions nearby because pollutants （污染物）can travel through the atmosphere可知答案為C項(xiàng)．
58．A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段可知，如今的能見度比20世紀(jì)60年代下降了7到15千米，如果60年代為130千米，則現(xiàn)在為123到115千米．故答案為A項(xiàng)．
59．B 主旨大意題．本文為新聞報(bào)道的形式，主要介紹了中國為控制大氣污染而采取的新舉措，故答案為B項(xiàng)．
60．D 詞義猜測題．最后一段提到，在這項(xiàng)新計(jì)劃中，新的監(jiān)控體系將會監(jiān)控污染水平，而目前的監(jiān)控體系只能監(jiān)控主要污染物，無法監(jiān)控到（污染水平）．由此得知答案為D項(xiàng)．
點(diǎn)評 本文是健康環(huán)保類閱讀理解．做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對文章通讀一遍，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．
