The worsening air quality in tropical cities is causing ever greater threats to people’s health and this trend will only get worse as the urbanization is progressing quickly,scientists have warned.In a newly published study,a team of researchers explain that across all the 46 cities they surveyed from Africa to Asia,they have measured significant annual increases in pollutants harmful to health.
This trend is troubling as tropical cities usually lack proper air pollution monitoring measures and policies to deal with the problem.“These cities are predicted to reach populations of up to 80 million people by 2100,so actions targeting human-related pollution are badly needed,” the scientists stress.
Already the number of people dying prematurely(过早地) from long exposure to air pollution has been on the increase and people living in cities in South Asia are the worst affected.In Dhaka,Bangladesh,some 24,000 people die of such causes each year while around 100,000 people die in Indian cities such as Mumbai,Bangalore etc.
“The number of deaths in tropical cities in Africa is still lower due to recent improvements in health care there.But the worst effects of air pollution on health will likely occur in the coming decades,” the scientists say.
The reasons for worsening air quality in tropical cities lie in increasing road traffic,waste burning,and the widespread use of coal and wood.Industry is also partly to blame.“Open burning for land clearance in the past contributed most to air pollution in the tropics,” explains Karn Vohra,an author of the study.“Our analysis suggests we’re entering a new age when some cities experience rates of air pollution in a year that others experience in a decade,” Vohra warns.
4.What is the function of the numbers mentioned in paragraph 3
A.To show the negative effect of urbanization.
B.To warn people to limit their time of going out.
C.To remind people to pay attention to their health.
D.To display the seriousness of air pollution in some tropical cities.
5.What helps the tropical cities in Africa maintain a lower death rate
A.The fast-paced urbanization.
B.The improvements in health care.
C.The proper policies dealing with air pollution.
D.The effective air pollution monitoring measures.
6.What does the underlined word “blame” in the last paragraph mean
A.Take responsibility.　　B.Get affected.
C.Break down. D.Check out.
7.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A.Air pollution is getting worse fast in tropical cities
B.The growing population is speeding up air pollution
C.Human activities lead to air pollution in tropical cities
D.It’s of great importance to increase the use of green energy

I Survived Being Caught In A Mudslide(泥石流)
It was May 2018,and my boyfriend,Gabe Smith,and I were driving from my home in Weyburn,to visit friends in Nelson.
At around 5:30 p.m.,we were driving along the Crowsnest Highway,a steep and winding mountain road.I was texting my mother when I happened to look up in time to see a huge tree in front of us on the highway.It was being pushed down by a torrent(洪流) of mud that was swallowing everything in its path.We didn’t know about the recent flooding in the area,and now we were trapped in it.Gabe and I looked at each other unbelievably and said,“Oh,god.” Within seconds,our car was rolling 30 meters down the cliffside(悬崖边).
I don’t know how long we were unconscious(昏迷的),but I woke up to the sound of Gabe moaning (呻吟).He lay beside me and his blood was everywhere.
Our car had landed on a small area among trees that had come down with the mudslide.On one side of us was the mountain.On the other,a steep drop of about 1,000 meters into a river.
I tried opening my door with a sharp pain in the chest.In addition,my left ankle had been broken.Gabe had broken his nose and cheek,as well as his chest bone,leaving him blind in his left eye and having difficulty in breathing.
As the doors were crashed out of shape,and my window failed to be opened,the only way out was through the driver’s side window.Although it was difficult and painful,we both managed to get out of it.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
We sat on a rock with no phone signal,realizing all we could do was shout for help.



With the help of them,we finally reached the highway at around 8:00 p.m.

Ⅲ.We sat on a rock with no phone signal,realizing all we could do was shout for help.Because of the pain,we could only yell from time to time.After what seemed a century,someone responded.Four bystanders had spotted our car and were wading through the mud to us.We showed great excitement.Once they arrived,two of them helped Gabe shimmy up the hill.Because of my injured foot,the other two had to carry me.Sinking into the mud made it even tougher.
With the help of them,we finally reached the highway at around 8:00 p.m.Gabe was in shock.He kept slipping in and out of consciousness.They kept shocking him to keep him awake so he wouldn’t slip into a coma.When the medical helicopter finally came and airlifted us to the nearest hospital,they left without a word.The experience bounded us as a couple and made us even more positive to life.And the kindness of the strangers will always remain in our hearts.
