Windbreaks are barriers(屏障) formed by trees and other plants.Farmers plant these barriers around their
fields，which help prevent the loss of soil and stop the wind from blowing soil away.They also keep the wind from
damaging or destroying crops.Besides，extra trees and plants can be cut down and used or sold for wood.
Windbreaks can be highly valuable for protecting grain crops.For example，in parts of West Africa grain
harvests were twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared to fields without them.
But here is something interesting about windbreaks.They seem to work best when they allow some wind to
pass through the barrier of trees or plants around a field.If not，then the movement of air close to the ground will lift
the soil.Then the soil will be blown away.For this reason，a windbreak works best if it contains only 60 to 80
percent of the trees and plants that would be needed to make a solid line.An easy rule to remember is that
windbreaks can protect areas up to 10 times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreak.
There should be at least two lines in each windbreak.One line should be large trees.The second line，right next
to it，can be shorter trees or other plants with leaves.Locally grown trees and plants are considered the best choices
for windbreaks.Trees reduce the damaging effects of wind and rain.Their roots help protect soil from being washed
away.And trees can provide animals with shade from the sun.
1．The advantages of building a windbreak are as follows EXCEPT .
A．keeping the wind from destroying grain crops
B．increasing the production of grain harvests
C．providing humans with shade from the sun
D．reducing the damaging effects of wind and rain
2．The author thinks windbreaks are interesting because .
A．the movement of air lifts the soil
B．windbreaks allow some wind to pass through
C．large trees are lined with short ones
D．windbreaks can stop the wind getting through
3．If the trees grow to a height of 30 feet，the areas the windbreak can protect are .
A．100 square feet B．150 square feet
C．240 square feet D．300 square feet
4．What can be inferred from the text?
A．Extra trees and plants can be cut down for wood.
B．The environment is going from bad to worse.
3 C．Trees and plants from abroad are the best for windbreaks.
D．Windbreaks can contribute to agriculture harvests.

(2016·甘肃天水三中高三检测)
For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural
conditions.Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside.It may be one
hundred times worse.
Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired，to suffer eye pain，headache and other problems.Some
pollutants(污染物) can cause breathing disorders，diseases of blood and even cancer.Most scientists agree that
every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.
People have paid more attention to the problem now.It is true that when builders began making houses and
offices they did not waste energy.To do this they build buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and
outside.They also began using man-made building materials.These materials are now known to let out harmful
gases.
As the problem became more serious，scientists began searching for a way to deal with it.They discovered a
