Lesson 2检测题
第二部分 阅读理解
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Housework might be bad for your health, according to a study suggesting that tidying up as little as once a week with common cleaning sprays and air fresheners could raise the risk of asthma (哮喘) in adults.
Other studies have linked these types of products with increased asthma rates among cleaning professionals but the research published recently indicates others are potentially at risk as well.
Exposure (暴露) to such cleaning materials even just once a week could account for as many as one in seven adult asthma cases, the researchers wrote in an American medicine magazine.
Asthma is an inflammation (炎症) of the airways with symptoms that include wheezing (喘息), shortness of breath, coughing and chest tightness. More than 300 million people worldwide suffer from the condition.
Using data collected from 22 centers in 10 European countries, the researchers studied about 3,500 people over a nine-year period to see how many developed asthma and whether cleaning could be a cause.
Two-thirds of those in the study who reported doing the large part of cleaning were women and fewer than 10 percent of them were full-time homemakers.
The study found that the risk of developing asthma increased with the frequency (频率) of cleaning and the number of different sprays used but on average was about 30 to 50 percent higher in people exposed to cleaning sprays at least once a week.
While air fresheners, furniture cleaners and glass cleaners had the strongest effect, the researchers said the study did not determine what caused the increase.
1. The underlined word “potentially” in the second paragraph probably means “_______”.
A. seriously, but not deadly
B. not actually, but likely
C. certainly to happen
D. obviously to see
2. According to researchers, about _______ of adult asthma cases are caused by cleaning sprays and air fresheners.
A. 1% B. 15% C. 30% D. 50%
3. Which of the following is NOT a symptom of asthma?
A. Bleeding. B. Coughing.
C. Shortness of breath. D. Chest tightness.
4. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to _______.
A. call on people not to do so much housework
B. tell people how to avoid being infected by asthma
C. warn people of the danger of using chemicals
D. persuade people to protect the environment

Houston is home to cowboy culture, space travel, art cars and much more.
Two brothers established Houston in 1836. Augustus and John Allen were land developers from New York State. They purchased more than 25 square kilometers of land in a low-lying area near a small river, or bayou (河口). They named the town after a hero of Texas history, Sam Houston. The brothers wanted to build a city that would become a center of government and commerce. They succeeded. Houston soon became a center for the cotton trade, then later the oil industry. The Port of Houston links the city to the shipping traffic in the nearby Gulf of Mexico.
The capital of the state of Texas is Austin. But Houston for a time in its early years was the capital of the Republic of Texas.
Texas was part of Mexico until a rebellion (叛乱) by Anglo-American colonists and Mexicans living in Texas. After that, the territory was an independent republic for almost ten years. In 1846, Texas became the twenty-eighth state in the US.
Today, Houston is the fourth largest city in the US. Two million people live there. The area now spreads over more than 1,600 square kilometers of southeast Texas. Oil and gas explorations are still important to the Houston economy. But other industries have also grown over the years. One of these is the space industry.
Houston is home to the Johnson Space Center. Astronauts train there. And it is also where the NASA space agency has its Mission Control. Controllers direct space shuttle flights from Houston, just as they did with the old Apollo flights to the moon. Movies like Apollo Thirteen have only added to the image of Houston as “Space City”.
