21、recently brings bad news about air pollution.It suggests thatit could be as damaging to our health as exposure to the radiation from the 1986Ukraine nuclear power disaster.The report was published by the UK Royalcommission on environmental Pollution。But what can city people do to reduceexposure to a
22、ir pollution?Quite a lot,it turns out。Avoid walking in busy streets.Choose side streets and parks instead.Pollutionlevels can fall a considerable amount just by moving a few meters away from themain pollution sourceexhaust fumes(烟气)。Also dont walk behind smokers.Walk on the windward side of the stre
23、et where exposure to pollutants can be 50percent less than on the downwind side.Sitting on the drivers side of a bus can increase your exposure by 10 percent,compared with sitting on the side nearest the pavement.Sitting upstairs on a double-3decker can reduce the exposure.It is difficult to say whe
24、ther traveling on anunderground train is better or worse than taking the bus.Air pollution on undergroundtrains tends to be less toxic than that at street level,because underground pollution ismostly made up of tiny iron particles thrown up by wheels hitting the rails.But dieseland petrol fumes have
25、 a mixture of pollutants。When you are crossing a road,stand well back from the curb while you wait forthe light to change。Every meter really does count when you are close to traffic。As the traffic begins to move,fumes can be reduced in just a few seconds。Soholding your breath for just a moment can m
26、ake a difference,even though it mightsound silly。There are large sudden pollution increases during rush hours。Pollution levelsfall during nighttime.The time of year also makes a big difference.Pollution levelstend to be at their lowest during spring and autumn when winds are freshest.Extremecold or
27、hot weather has a trapping effect and tends to cause a buildup of pollutants.16.What is the passage mainly about?_B_。A。How to fight air pollution in big cities。B。How to avoid air pollution in big cities。C。How to breathe fresh air in big cities。D。How serious air pollution is in big cities。17.Accordin

31、。D。count down for the light to change.Passage ThreePassage ThreeIn the 1970s many of us thought working outside the home would be liberatingfor women,freeing them from financial dependence on men and allowing themroles beyond those of wife and mother。It hasnt worked out that way.Womens labor has bee
32、n bought on the cheap,their4working hours have become longer and their family commitments have barelydiminished.The reality for most working women is a near impossible feat of workingever harder。There have been new opportunities for some women:professions onceclosedtothem,suchaslaw,haveopenedup.Wome
33、n managersarecommonplace,though the top boardrooms remain male preserves.Professional andmanagerial women have done well out of neoliberalism.Their salaries allow them tohire domestic help.But more women,such as the supermarket or call center workers;the cooks,cleaners and hairdressers,all find them
34、selves in low-wage,lowstatus jobs withno possibility of paying to have their houses cleaned by someone else。Even thosein professions once-regarded as reasonably highstatus,such as teaching,nursing or office work,have seen that status pushed down with longer hours,moreregulation and lower pay。Womens
35、right to work should not mean a family life where partners rarely seeeach other or their children.Yet a quarter of all families with dependent children haveone parent working nights or evenings,many of them because of childcare problems.The legislative changes of the 1960s and 1970s helped establish
36、 womens legaland financial independence,but we have long come up against the limits of the law。A more radical social transformation would mean using the countrys wealthmuch of it now produced by women to create a decent family life.A 35 hourweek and a national childcare service would be a start.But
37、it is hard to imagine themajor employers conceding such demands。Every gain that women have made atwork has had to be fought for。Womens lives have undergone a revolution over the past few decades that hasseen married women,and mothers in particular,go from a private family role to amuch more social r
38、ole at work。But they havent left the family role behind:nowthey are expected to work even harder to do both.21.The author suggests that the benefits of womens workingC.A。mean that women are able to realize their dreamsB.have been exaggerated in the past few decadesC。are shared only by a limited numb
