第四段:
(中心句)When (当。。。时候,引导时间状语从句)you are crossing a road(过马路),stand well back(往后、向后) from the curb(路缘)while you wait for (等候、等待)the light (红绿灯)to change(变化)。Every meter really does(助动词,表示强调,的确) count (有重要性、有价值)when you are close to(离。。。近)traffic(来来往往的车辆).As(当) the traffic begins to move(移动),fumes(烟、气) can be reduced in just a few seconds(几秒钟内)。So holding your breath (屏住呼吸)for just a moment can make a difference(有影响、有作用),even though(即使,表示让步状语) it might sound(听起来) silly(愚蠢的).
分析:该段有明确的topic sentence, 即第一句,通过阅读该句,我们已经明白是说当我们过马路时(背景),该如何减少接触污染。后面内容是具体阐述。所以该段大意就是B Where you stand while waiting to cross a road当你等着过马路时你站在哪里。
第五段:
There are large sudden(突然的) pollution increases (增加)during rush hours(高峰时间).Pollution levels fall(下降) during nighttime.The time of year also makes a big difference(产生很大的差异).Pollution levels tend to be at their lowest (处于最低期)during spring and autumn when winds are freshest(最清新的、清洁的).Extreme(极其的) cold or hot weather has a trapping(吸存) effect(影响) and tends to cause(导致、引起) a build—up(增长、上升) of pollutants.
分析:阅读此段可以看出主要意思是有关在一天当中或一年当中什么时候污染物的量较大,什么时候较少。所以应该选择F When pollution levels rise and fall什么时候污染的水平上升,下降。
