It didn’t happen overnight. The problem of polluted air has been festering for centuries.
Suddenly the problem of air pollution is becoming critical and is erupting right before our eyes. Not only do our eyes burn as they focus through murky air,but when the air clears,we see trees and vegetation dying. We must realize that this destruction can no longer be pinned to some mysterious cause. The one major culprit is air pollution.
Today’s air pollution is an unfortunate by-product of the growth of civilization. Civilized mall desires goods that require heavy industrialization and mass production. Machines and factories sometimes pollute and taint the air with substances that are dangerous to man and the environment. These substances include radioactive dust,salt spray,herbicide and pesticide aerosols, liquid droplets of acidic matter,gases, and sometimes soil particles. These materials can act alone to irritate objects and forms of life. More dangerously,they join together to act upon the environment. Only lately have we begun recognizing some of their dangerous consequences.
Scientists have not yet been able to obtain a complete report on the effects of air pollution on trees. They do know,however,that sulfur dioxide,fluorides,and ozone destroy trees and that individual trees re-spond differently to the numerous particulate and gaseous pollutants. Sometimes trees growing in a single area under attack by pollutants will show symptoms of injury or will die while their neighbors remain healthy. Scientists believe this difference in response depends on the kind of tree and its genetic makeup. Other factors,such as the tree’s stage of growth and nearness to the pollution source,the amount of pol-lutant,and the length of the pollution attack also play a part. In short, whether or not a tree dies as a result of air pollution depends on a combination of host and envimn-mental factors.
For the most part,air pollutants injure trees. To conifers,which have year-round needles,air pollution causes early balding. In this event,trees cannot maintain normal food production levels. Undernourished and weakened, they are open to attack by a host of insects,diseases,and other environmental stresses. Death often follows.
Air pollution may also cause hardwoods to lose their leaves. Because their leaves are borne only for a partion of the year and are replaced the following year,air pollution injury to hardwoods may not be so severe.
We can conclude that____.
选项
A、air pollution is easier to control than water pollution
B、the problem of polluted air is a problem overnight
C、the impact of air pollution has been known for centuries
D、research on the efforts of air pollution is incomplete
答案
D
解析
题目问:通过文章内容我们可以得出什么结论?第四段第一句“Scientists have not yet been able toobtain a complete report on the effects of air pollution on trees.”通过这句话可知,关于空气污染对树木的影响问题,科学家还没有得到完整的结论。据此判断,应选择D。
