A.where to choose B.which to choose
C.to choose what D.to choose which

A.expected B.to expect

解析:句意:电视有很多优点,在家中它能使我们了解最近的消息并且也能提供娱乐,难怪它在全世界都受到欢迎。宾语us 与宾补inform之间为动宾关系,故用过去分词作宾补;no wonder “难怪”;no doubt“毫无疑问”;no chance“没有机会”;no problem“没问题”。故选A。
答案:A

语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文, 讲述了一个小故事:在一个小镇上, 一位老人负责巡山、清理水池和泉水的工作, 但是镇上的议会却决定要把这个职位撤掉, 那么结果会如何呢?
1.A.fed B.forced
C.made D.offered
解析:根据“the spring flowing through their town”可知山上的水池为小溪提供了水源。此处feed有“流入”的意思, 此时为不及物动词, 后跟into。B项和C项与空后面的词不搭配, force sb.to do sth.; make sb.do sth; offer后面常跟双宾语, 表示主动提供。因此选A项。
答案:A
2.A.broke B.removed
C.shook D.reduced
解析:根据下文“cleared away the sand that would otherwise have choked and dirtied the fresh flow of water”可知老人的工作是清除枯枝落叶等。remove“拿走, 除掉”,常与from连用。break“破坏”;shake“摇动, 抖动”;reduce“减少”, 均与语境不符, 故选B项。
答案:B
3.A.attracted B.enjoyed
C.floated D.supported
解析:此句是说天鹅浮在水面上。A项应使用被动语态, 常用“be attracted to”。enjoy为及物动词, 后面缺宾语, 常用“enjoy oneself”。故选C项。
答案:C
4.A.appearance B.view
C.sight D.image
解析:appearance“外貌, 外观”;view常指“从远处或高处看到的景色, 风景,(尤指)自然美景”;sight表风景时常用复数, 指“名胜,风景”;image“形象, 影像”。故B项正确。
答案:B

解析:根据上文可知, 此处风景优美。beyond description“无法形容”。

6.A.discussion B.debate

解析:根据下文中的“the salary figure being paid to the keeper of the spring”可知与财政有关。budget“预算”;concept“概念”;survey“调查”;result“结果”。故选A项。
答案:A
8.A.stared B.glared
C.glanced D.caught
解析:stare“盯着, 凝视”;glare“怒视”;glance“扫视, 匆匆一看”;这三个动词为不及物动词, 后面常与介词at搭配。catch“偶然发现, 发觉”。故选D项。
答案:D
9.A.How B.When
C.Where D.Why
解析:根据“For all know, the strange range of the hills is not doing anything.”可知说话人认为这个职位多余, 从而推断出说话人不理解为什么还要雇用这个老人。选D项。

10.A.important B.necessary
C.impossible D.difficult
解析:根据语境可知这个职位没有必要存在了。
答案:B
11.A.schedules B.services
C.advantages D.opinions
解析:service“工作, 效劳, 服务”;schedule“工作计划, 日程安排”;advantage“有利条件, 优势”;opinion“意见, 想法”。此处表示撤掉了老人的工作, 故选B项。

12.A.spring B.summer
C.autumn D.winter

答案:C
13.A.choking B.getting
C.taking D.bringing
解析:根据第一段中“that would otherwise have choked and dirtied the fresh flow of water”可以推断出答案。choke up“堵塞, 塞满”;get up“起床”;take up“拿起, 开始从事, 占据”;bring up“养育, 培养, 提出”。A项符合语境。
答案:A
14.A.happened B.turned
C.sounded D.tasted
解析:此处是指水变浑浊了。turn“变成, 成为”;happen“发生, 出现”;sound“听起来”;taste“品尝”。故B项符合语境。
答案:B
15.A.spread B.appeared
C.discovered D.appreciated
解析:语意表示发现有一种怪味。discover“发现, 发觉”。
答案:C
16.A.tourists B.gentlemen
C.officials D.councilmen
解析:与第一段“The village soon became a popular place for vacationers”形成对比, 水源被破坏后, 游客也不来了。
答案:A
17.A.excited B.frightened
C.embarrassed D.disappointed
解析:根据上文可知上一次会议的错误决定是导致这些现象的原因。从“called an urgent meeting”可知地方议会一方应是“陷入困境的, 为难的”。
答案:C

C.Realizing D.Controlling
解析:语意:意识到(Realizing)他们判断上的错误。promise“承诺”;prevent“阻止”;control“控制”。故选C项。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Hundreds of trash trucks across California are rumbling down city streets using clean fuel made from a dirty source: garbage.
The fuel is derived from rotting refuse that San Francisco and Oakland residents and businesses have been discarding in the Altamont landfill since 1980.Since November, the methane gas created from the 240-acre landfill has been sucked into tubes and sent into an innovative facility that purifies and transforms it into liquefied (液态的) natural gas (LNG).
Almost 500 Waste Management Inc. garbage and recycling trucks run on this new source of environmentally friendly fuel instead of dirty diesel (柴油).
“We've built the largest landfill-to-LNG plant in the world; this plant produces 13,000 gallons of LNG a day,” says Jessica Jones, a landfill manager for Houston-based Waste Management. “It will take 30,000 tons of CO2 a year from the environment.”
Altamont is one of two California landfills making LNG; the other is a smaller facility about 40 miles south of Los Angeles. Other natural gas facilities are being planned by Waste Management at some of the 270 active landfills nationwide, and the number could grow quickly as communities seek to reduce greenhouse gas pollution.
Landfills have plenty of the ingredients to produce methane. Bacteria break down the food scraps, paper, lawn trimmings and other organic waste dumped there.Over time, the material ferments (发酵), releasing methane and other gases.About 50 percent of the gas emitted from landfills is methane. It is 21 times more effective than CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere, the EPA says.
“Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide,” Tom Frankiewicz, program manager for EPA's Landfill Methane Outreach Program in Washington, says in an e-mail. “Methane is also the main component of natural gas, so by capturing and using methane as an energy source you get an even bigger bang_for_the_buck”.
语篇解读:加利福尼亚从垃圾中提取液态天然气, 来为运垃圾的车辆提供燃料, 此举有利于环保。
1.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.A new way to deal with garbage in California
B.The advantage of liquefied natural gas
C.California garbage trucks' fuel coming from garbage
D.Environmentally friendly trucks in California
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知, 本文主要介绍了加利福尼亚用从垃圾中提取的液态天然气为运垃圾的车辆提供燃料。其他选项都偏离了文章的中心。
答案:C
2.The biggest benefit of using LNG is that ________.
A.it can save much space for landfills
B.it can save a lot of money for the government
C.it can bring a large profit to Waste Management
D.it can reduce greenhouse gas pollution
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句和最后两段的内容可知, 这一举动的最大益处在于可以减少温室气体的排放, 有利于环保。
答案:D
3.Which of the following is not a step to turn garbage into LNG?
A.Mix the methane gas with other natural gases.
B.Bacteria break down the garbage.
C.The material ferments.
D.Suck the methane gas into tubes and purify it.
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段和倒数第二段的信息可知, B、C、D三项都是把垃圾转化成液态天然气的步骤;文章只是提到垃圾发酵以后会产生混合气体, 其中就有沼气, A项不符合文意。
答案:A
4.The underlined part “bang for the buck” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A.problem B.share
C.reward D.victory
解析:词义理解题。根据文章最后的语境分析, 此处是说把沼气转化成液态天然气的好处, 人类将从中得到“回报”。故答案为C。
答案:C

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others.These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers.You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools;perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures.It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
1.We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.
A.learning better at school shows power in your job
B.the better you are at school subjects, the more helpful they are in your career
C.learning each subject well is an ability in many jobs
D.we should think about how to find our career
解析:由第一段中的“You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work.”可推断出, 作者认为在校学习时学得好的人在工作中占有优势。
答案:A
2.All the subjects may be of direct value for job hunting except ________.
A.mathematics B.English
C.history D.technical drawing
解析:第一段提到了数学和英语学得好的人可以从事与数学工程和办公室相关的工作, 而大多数工作则不需要历史知识;第二段开头提到技术绘图在工作中会有用武之地。所以只有历史对找工作可能没有直接的价值。
答案:C
3.From the passage we learn that if a student's school performance is not good, he will ________.
A.have no hope in his future work
B.be hopeful to find a suitable job
C.regret not having worked harder at school
D.have an opportunity of a new beginning in his future work
解析:由短文的最后一句可知, 如果一名学生在校成绩不好, 则需要认识到自己将拥有一个重新开始的机会。
答案:D
4.The passage mainly discusses ________.
A.the relationship between school performance and career
B.how to get a job
C.how to show strengths in your work
D.working experience and knowledge at school
解析:通观全文可知, 本文主要阐述了在校表现与职业生涯的关系。
答案:A
B
Every morning a woman baked Chapati, an Indian flatbread, for her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She always placed the extra Chapati on the windowsill, for whoever needed to eat it.
She noticed an old man came every day and took the extra Chapati. Instead of expressing gratitude, he would say:“The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you!” as he went on his way.
This went on day after day after day. The woman got very angry.
One day she decided to do away with him. So she added poison to the Chapati she prepared for him!
As she was about to place it on the windowsill, she threw his Chapati into the fire, prepared another one and put it on the sill.
As usual, the man came, picked up the Chapati, saying:“The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you!”
The old man continued on his way happily, unaware of the anger in the mind of the woman.
Every day, as the woman placed the Chapati on the windowsill, she prayed for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune.For many months she had no news of him and she always prayed for his safe return.
That night, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to see her son standing outside. His clothes were torn. He was hungry and weak.
He said, “Mom, while I was a mile away, I was so starved that I collapsed. But luckily an old man passed by. I begged him for some food and he gave me a Chapati, saying ‘This is what I eat every day. Today, I shall give it to you!’”
As the mother heard those words, her face turned pale. She leaned against the door for support. She remembered the poisoned Chapati that she had made that morning. Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son and he would have lost his life!
It was then that she realized what the old man had meant.
语篇解读:一个妇女总是把多余的薄煎饼放在窗台上让饥饿的行人吃, 一个老人总是拿走薄煎饼, 却不表示感谢。一天, 那个妇女气得想毒死那个老人, 但最终放弃了。结果那天老人把薄煎饼给了一个饥饿的年轻人吃, 而这个年轻人正是那个妇女的儿子。
5.Why did the woman want to poison the old man?
A.He was not thankful to her.
B.He stole all her extra Chapatis.
C.He begged for food every day.
D.He disturbed her peaceful life.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二至四段可知, 那个老人总是拿走那位妇女放在窗台上的薄煎饼, 却不表示感谢, 因此那个妇女想毒死他。
答案:A
6.What had happened to the woman's son?
A.He couldn't find his way home.
B.He lost everything that he had.
C.He was too shy to beg for food.
D.He hadn't eaten anything for days.
解析:推理判断题。根据第九段那个妇女的儿子回来时衣衫褴褛、又饿又虚弱的情形, 再结合第十段那个妇女的儿子饿得晕倒可推知他的儿子很多天没吃东西了。
答案:D
7.Hearing her son's words, the woman was shocked because ________.
A.her son told her a surprising secret
B.the old man didn't eat her Chapati
C.she nearly had killed her own son
D.the old man collected food for her son
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知, 要不是那个妇女把有毒的薄煎饼扔掉, 她差点就害死了自己的亲生儿子。
答案:C
8.The story intends to convey us a message that ________.
A.as you sow, so shall you reap
B.make hay while the sun shines
C.never judge a book by its cover

答案:A

Who says Americans worship the almighty (全能的) dollar? It's not true. Having enough free time is more important to most Americans than being rich, according to a new survey.
Only 13 percent of more than 2,400 people questioned in the telephone survey ranked being wealthy as the most important to them, while 67 percent ranked free time as their top priority (优先考虑的事), higher than having a successful career, getting married, and having children. “Everyone wants free time to do the things they want to do, young, middle-aged or old,” said Richard Morin, of the Pew Social & Demographic Trends Project, which conducted the survey. “So our desire to play unites us.”
The survey also showed that people who were educated in university valued career success over wealth, so did middle-aged people. Not surprisingly, those who didn't have money, ranked wealth very highly. This included minorities, first generation Americans and less-educated people. The survey also revealed that a disproportionate (不成比例的) number of people under the age of 30 and retired people in the group made $20,000 or less a year. But the emphasis on wealth lessens with age, with younger people putting value on it but hardly any seniors.“It just diminishes (减弱) with time as the reality sets in that you would never be rich,” Morin said. “But also, as for old people the reality sets in that you don't have to be rich to lead a very comfortable and fulfilling life.”
While wealth was not at the top of people's list of priorities, 43 percent still said it was somewhat important.
1.The survey showed that the majority of American people ranked ________ as the most important.
A.wealth B.a successful career
C.marriage D.free time
解析:细节理解题。从文章第一段和第二段可得到答案, 调查显示, 大多数美国人最看重的是自由时间。
答案:D
2.Who cares least for wealth, according to the passage?
A.Young people.
B.First generation Americans.
C.Old people.
D.Less-educated people.
解析:细节理解题。从文章第三段内容可知, 年轻人更重视钱财, 而随着年龄增长, 这种观念就会逐渐转变, 老年人不太重视钱财了。再结合该段第二、三句可知, 答案为C项。
答案:C
3.According to the survey, what did middle-aged people regard as more important?
A.Success in career. B.Education level.
C.Wealth. D.Comfort.
解析:细节理解题。从文章第三段第一句中的“people who were educated in university valued career success over wealth, so did middle-aged people”可知, 中年人更在乎事业的成功。
答案:A
4.What is the belief of old people according to the third paragraph?
A.Wealth is as important to the old as health.
B.One needs to put money away for his retired life.
C.One doesn't have to be rich to live a satisfying life.
D.One would never get rich until he retires.
解析:推理判断题。由第三段的最后一句“as for old people the reality sets in that you don't have to be rich to lead a very comfortable and fulfilling life”可知, 对老年人来说, 现实让你认识到, 你不必非常有钱才能过很舒适的生活, 由此可知C项正确。

More than 30 million kids buy school lunch each day.This year, many schools raised lunch prices to fight the rising costs.Students pay about $2 a meal now. That is 27 cents more than last year. But they still get a good deal. The average cost for schools to produce one meal has gone up 30 cents, and is now $3.
So, how do schools neither make money nor lose money?To start, the government pays for a small part of the difference. Schools have to make up the rest. Peggy Eller, a leader of school nutrition (营养) services in Hudson, Wisconsin, said her district is cutting costs by using fewer paper products and serving smaller portions (份额). Well, portion control is one key to healthful eating!
The push for more healthful food has grown in recent years. One in five kids aged 6 to 19 is overweight. Being overweight can cause health problems. Many states passed laws that require schools to serve nutritious meals.
Since 2004, more than 90% of all U. S. schools have removed the fat from lunches.Foods high in fat, salt and sugar have been replaced by low-fat milk, fresh fruits and vegetables.These new items on lunch menus have encouraged kids to change their eating habits. “It makes it easier to try new things at home,” said Savanna Mackey, a Florida fifth-grader.
Students need healthful meals to grow strong and do well in school. “Rising food prices won't stand in the way,” says school nutritionist Janey Thornton.“We'll just be more clever in how we do things.”
语篇解读:这是一篇说明文。主要讲述因物价飞涨, 美国学校不得不想尽办法来面对这场危机, 保证提供营养食品。
5.In the first paragraph, the author aims to tell us ________.
A.the large number of kids buying school lunch
B.the average price of school lunch foods
C.the schools' ways to deal with school lunch
D.the fact that school lunch's getting too expensive
解析:细节理解题。根据全文主旨再结合第一段第二句“This year, many schools raised lunch prices to fight the rising costs.”可判断正确答案选D项。
答案:D
6.Many school districts raised lunch prices because ________.
A.there is less healthy food on the menu
B.the cost of food has gone up
C.kids often forget to bring lunch money
D.some school dining-halls are serving smaller portions
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The average cost for schools to produce one meal has gone up 30 cents, and is now $3.”可判断正确答案选B项。
答案:B
7.According to Paragraph 4, Savanna Mackey ________.
A.doesn't like the new items on the lunch menus
B.always enjoys food like fresh fruits and vegetables
C.grows interested in eating healthy food at home
D.preferred eating at school to eating at home
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的“These new items on lunch menus have encouraged kids to change their eating habits.”和“It makes it easier to try new things at home,”可知, 午餐新食谱改变了孩子们的饮食习惯, 使Savanna Mackey更想在家吃新东西了, 由此判断选C项。
答案:C
8.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.American schools solve the problem of high food prices by themselves.
B.American schools are very concerned about their students' health.
C.Almost all schools are forced by the government to serve healthy foods.
D.American childhood overweight is mainly caused by the present lunch foods.
解析:推理判断题。由全文可知, 尽管物价飞涨, 但美国学校还是想尽一切办法保证提供营养食品, 由此可判断, 美国学校非常关注学生的健康, 故选B项。
答案:B
Ⅳ.选做题

How do you enter a room full of strangers? Do you walk right in full of confidence? Or do you try to slip in without being noticed? The way you go into new situations shows your level of self-confidence.
In life, we admire those who do their tasks confidently. We prefer people who appear to know what they're doing. But where does that confidence begin?
Developing self-confidence starts very early. It's parents' role to get kids on the right track (轨道) toward becoming confident people. To help that process, parents should always offer more praise than criticism (批评). That can be done by focusing on the child's strengths. Parents should encourage their children to try new things and take risks. When children make mistakes, their parents should still let them know that they are loved. Children whose parents do these things will likely develop into confident adults. But self-confidence still doesn't come easily. So what's the solution (解决办法)?
With most things in life, practice makes perfect, and that is true of confidence skills. The more you practice them, the easier they will become.
Always hold your head high and look people in the eye. Answer questions clearly and confidently. The way you walk shows others how confident you are.
Focus on the things that you do well, and look for opportunities to use those abilities.
Keep an item in clear view that reminds you of a recent success. It could be a good test score or a prize from a contest. Remind yourself that one success often leads to the next.
Prepare thoroughly for every project. You'll approach the task more confidently knowing that you're ready.
All humans fail at times, and you will too. But don't allow mistakes to trouble you. Learning from mistakes helps you face the same situation later without fear.
Even with practice, you will never be perfect. But you can learn to love and accept yourself and live your life with confidence.

TUVALU(图瓦卢), a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea.
Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu's nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country's drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable.1.________
2.________. Venice(威尼斯), a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark's Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year, Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu's rising sea level is caused by global warming.
The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by extra 1~3 degrees over the next 100 years.
Warmer weather makes glaciers (冰川) melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10~25 cm in the last 100 years.
3.________. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.
Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. 4.________.
5.________, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “climate refugees” looking for somewhere to live.
A.The main cause of global warming is human pollution
B.Should this come true
C.Without urgent help, the country's days are numbered
D.But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea
E.The sea level could rise by one meter this century
F.people face a lot of pollution
G.much has been done about our planet

The purpose of a letter of application (求职信) is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state __1__ the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have __2__. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without__3__ out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in __4__ that the things a possible employer is most __5__ to want to know about are your qualifications (条件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. __6__ the first few sentences fail to __7__ the reader's attention, the rest of the letter may not be__8__ at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not__9__ your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your __10__ in today's newspaper,” you might say“I have made a careful __11__ of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives__12__ your product and why they like it.”
Try to __13__ generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now __14__. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “ What can I __15__ in a letter?” Employers want experience — which, naturally, no __16__ has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is __17__.
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. __18__ a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent __19__ is to enclose(内附)a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it __20__ for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

答案:C
4.A.brain B.sight
C.order D.mind
解析:keep in mind是固定短语, 意思是“记住”。
答案:D
5.A.probable B.possible
C.likely D.able
解析:表示“可能”, 后面跟不定式只能用likely, 其余选项都不正确。
答案:C
6.A.While B.Although
C.As D.If
解析:根据下文的主句判断, 前面是条件句, 因此选if。
答案:D
7.A.pay B.win
C.show D.fix
解析:从后面主句中“the rest of the letter may not be ...”可得出答案:如果前几个句子不能“赢得”读者的注意的话。
答案:B
8.A.kept B.continued
C.written D.read
解析:根据上文, 如果起初几句话不能引起读者注意的话, 其余部分就可能不会被“读”了。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Europeans should try to stay indoors if ash from Iceland's volcano starts settling, the World Health Organization warned Friday as small amounts fell in Iceland, Scotland and Norway.
WHO spokesman Daniel Epstein said the microscopic ash is potentially dangerous for people when it starts to reach the Earth because inhaled particles can enter the lungs and cause respiratory problems. And he also said Europeans who go outside might want to consider wearing a mask.
Other experts, however, weren't convinced the volcanic ash would have a major effect on people's health and said WHO's warnings were “hysterical.” They said volcanic ash was much less dangerous than cigarette smoke or pollution. Volcanic ash is made of fine particles of fragmented volcanic rock. It is light gray to black and can be as fine as talcum powder. During a volcanic eruption, the ash can be breathed deep into the lungs and cause irritation even in healthy people. But once it falls from a greater distance —like from the cloud currently hovering above Europe — its health effects are often minimal, experts say.
“Not all particles are created equal,” said Ken Donaldson, a professor of respiratory toxicology at the University of Edinburgh, “In the great scheme of things, volcanic ash is not all that harmful.” And he said most Europeans' exposure to volcanic ash would be negligible and that only those in the near vicinity of the Icelandic volcano would likely be at risk.
Dr. Stephen Spiro, a professor of respiratory medicine and deputy chair of the British Lung Foundation, said the further the particles travel, the more diluted (降低, 变淡) and less dangerous they will be. “The cloud has already passed over northern Scotland and we haven't heard of any ill effects there,” he said. Spiro said to wear masks or stay indoors to avoid volcanic ash was “over the top” and “a bit hysterical.”
