As the volcano erupts in Iceland, more and more people are beginning to concern about the damage volcanic eruption brings. Then, let us learn the influence of volcanic eruption together.
We all know that air pollution has an effect on the world"s average air temperature. Scientists declare that volcanic eruption leads to weather changes, which is similar to air pollution. How will volcanic eruption impact on weather? Volcanic eruption throws hundreds of millions tons of ash into the stratosphere. The ash from a volcano spreads in a few days. However, this is not the end. The ash will remain in the air for years. Hereby, all the ash turns incoming solar radiation into space, which cools the earth.
The eruption would affect every level of ecosystem, from worms to primates. The problem is not only the physical destruction of habitat, but also the sulfur gases over the area. The volcanic eruption makes many people homeless who have to search for food and residence everywhere. The movement of the population and refugees may lead to some instability in the region. They may become one part to damage the environment in face of starvation threat. If the lava pours into lakes, the water will be severely contaminated. The unusual accumulation of carbon dioxide in the lower strata of lake"s basin may even cause explosions.
The volcanic eruption is a huge disaster for human beings. It will cause massive dislocation in the local place. The Iceland volcano is a good example. More than 63,000 flights had been canceled in 23 European countries, which is severe blow on the economy. Travelers had to give up their joumeys. Fresh foods get decayed because of delayed transportation. The factories are not able to operate for lack of machinery parts. In other parts of the world, people canceled their flights to and from Europe, according to the Air Transport Association(ATA). This condition has an awful influence on the world economy.
Large quantities of dust and gaseous material. will be injected into the upper atmosphere as a re- sult of explosive eruptions. The volcano spurts a kind of glassy material with sharp edges, which is cooled by tiny shards of molten rock. The air is mixed with such material at a microscopic level.As a result, it will contribute to a worldwide rise in deaths of respiratory diseases.
51. From the second paragraph we learn that__________
[ A] Pollution causes a drop in the world"s average air temperature.
[B] Solar radiation will causes a drop in the air temperature.
[C] The ash of volcanic eruption will last for a long time.
[D] The ash in the stratosphere has no direct influence on people on land.请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!

参考答案

正确答案:C
Text3参考译文随着冰岛火山的喷发,越来越多的人开始关注火山喷发带来的危害。那么,我们一起来了解一下火山喷发的影响吧。我们都知道空气污染会对世界平均气温有影响。科学家断言,火山喷发也会像空气污染一样,导致天气的变化。火山喷发将如何影响天气呢?火山向平流层喷出成百万吨火山灰。这些火山灰会蔓延好几天。然而,这还没有结束。这些灰尘会在空气中持续停留几年的时间。这样,所有这些灰尘会把太阳的辐射折射回太空,这就降低了地球的温度。火山喷发将影响到生态系统各个等级的生物,从蠕虫到灵长类。问题不仅仅在于动物栖息地环境遭到破坏,还有火山喷发带来的硫磺气体。火山喷发会造成很多人无家可归,他们不得不到处寻找食物和住所。人口以及难民流动将破坏地区的稳定性。当他们面临饿死的威胁时,就会成为危害环境的一大群体。如果火山熔岩啧发到湖里,会造成水的严重污染。湖底较低地层二氧化碳不正常的聚集,甚至还有可能引发爆炸。火山喷发对人类而言是巨大的灾难。它会导致当地的巨大混乱。冰岛火山就是一个很好的例子。欧洲23个国家63,000多架航班被取消,这对于经济来说是个沉重的打击。旅游者只能放弃他们的旅程。因为交通延误,新鲜的食物变了质。因为缺少机器零部件,工厂不能顺利运行。根据航空运输协会报道,世界其他地区的乘客也都取消了他们出入欧洲的航班。这种状况给世界经济造成了很坏的影响。全真模拟试卷(3)参考答案及精析第13页(共18页)因为火山爆炸性的喷发,大量灰尘和气体物质将会被喷发到上层大气中。火山喷出一种像玻璃一样有锋利边缘的物质,这种物质是由熔岩碎片冷却形成的。空气中混杂了这种微小的物质。因此,这将会导致全世界范围内更多的人因呼吸道疾病而死亡。答案及精析51.C【命题目的】此题考查考生对文章细节的理解能力。【解题要点】A选项并没有提到火山喷发,而是“污染对世界平均气温有影响”。由第二段第一句话“Weallknewthatairpollutionhasaneffectontheworld'saverageairtemperature.”能直接推出A正确吗?还是A选项只是说pollution,不太准确,故排除A。根据该段最后一句“Hereby,alltheashturnsincomingsolarradiationintospace,whichcoolstheearth.”可以看出,地球温度的下降是由于灰尘发挥的折射作用,而并不是太阳辐射会降低地球的温度,故B项错误。根据该段倒数第二句“Theashwillremainintheairforyears.”可见火山灰会在空气中持续几年的时间,C项符合文意。根据该段第四句“Vol-caniceruptionthrowshundredsofmillionstonsofashintothestrato-sphere.”可知火山向平流层喷出成百万吨的火山灰,由此可见,所有这些灰尘会把太阳的辐射折射回太空,这就降低了地球的温度。由下文可知,火山灰对人类是有直接影响的。故D项错误。
