2、Oct 17,2020. The most widely used system for classifying carcinogens comes from the IARC, which places them into five groups. Group 1 carcinogens definitely cause cancer in humans. Group 2A is probably carcinogenic to humans, Group 2B is possibly carcinogenic, the carcinogenicity of Group 3 in huma

3、ns is unclassifiable, and Group 4 is probably not carcinogenic to humans. Only a little more than 100 are classified as Group 1 cancer-causing substances, including ultraviolet radiation and tobacco smoke. “Our task was to evaluate the air everyone breathes rather than focus on specific air polluta

4、nts,” the lARC's Dana Loomis said in a statement. “The results from the reviewed studies point in the same direction: the risk of developing lung cancer is significantly increased in people exposed to air pollution.” In 2020, lung cancer resulting from air pollution killed 223,000 people worldwide,

5、 and there was also convincing evidence that it increases the risk of bladder (膀腕) cancer, according to the IARC. Air pollution is already known to raise risks for a wide range of illnesses, including respiratory and heart diseases. Air pollution is global, although the levels of it vary over spac

6、e and time. Loomis said people in Asia, eastern North America, some places in Central America and Mexico, as well as North Africa have relatively high exposure. Developing countries with large populations and booming manufacturing sectors, such as China, are particularly at risk. Many cities in Ch

16、l tobacco advertising on the machines is removed,comes into force in England today.It is the first ban in Europe to prohibit selling cigarettes from vending machines,which shows the determination of England to fight against smoking. Other measures to protect young people from the dangers of smoking

17、 are also on the way.In April 2020 large retailers(零售商)in England and Scotland will have to get rid of all tobacco displays and small shops will be expected to do that from April 2020.Wales and Northern Ireland also plan to make similar regulations. The UK Government is due to begin a public consul

28、lest windmills(see picture)to touch bottom. An experiment under way off the coast of Norway，however，could help put them anywhere. The project, called Hywind，is the world's first large­scale deepwater wind turbine(涡轮发电机)．Although it uses a fairly standard 152­ton,2.3­megawatt turbine，Hywind repre

29、sents totally new technology. The turbine will be fixed 213 feet above the water on a floating spar(see picture)，a technology Hywind's creator，the Norwegian company StatoilHydro，has developed recently. The steel spar, which is filled with stones and goes 328 feet below the sea surface, will be tied

30、to the ocean floor by three cables(缆索)；these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from moving up and down in the waves.Hywind's stability(稳定性)in the cold and rough sea would prove that even the deepest corners of the ocean are suitable for wind power. If all goes according to plan, the

31、turbine will start producing electricity six miles off the coast of southwestern Norway as early as September. To produce electricity on a large scale, a commercial wind farm will have to use bigger turbines than Hywind does, but it's difficult enough to balance such a large turbine so high on a fl

32、oating spar in the middle of the ocean. To make that turbine heavier, the whole spar's centre of gravity must be moved much closer to the ocean's surface. To do that, the company plans to design a new kind of wind turbine, one whose gearbox(变速箱) sits at sea level rather than behind the blades(see pi

33、cture)． Hywind is a test run, but the benefits for perfecting floating wind­farm technology could be extremely large. Out at sea, the wind is often stronger and steadier than close to shore, where all existing off shore windmills are planted. Deep­sea farms are invisible from land, which helps over

34、come the windmill­as­eyesore objection. If the technology catches on, it will open up vast areas of the planet's surface to one of the best low­carbon power sources available. 本文为科普短文，讲述世界上第一个深海风力发电机——涡轮发电机以及它的发电原理及好处。 9．The Hywind project uses totally new technology to ensure the stability of____

35、____. A. the cables which tie the spar to the ocean floor B. the spar which is floating in deep­sea water C. the blades driven by strong and steady sea wind D. the stones filled in the spar below the sea surface 答案：B。细节理解题。由文章第二段特别是“these will keep the spar stable and prevent the turbine from m

36、oving up and down in the waves”可知B项正确。 10．To balance a bigger turbine high on a floating spar, a new type of turbine is to be designed with its gearbox sitting________. A. on the sea floor B. on the spar top C. at sea level D. behind the blades 答案：C。细节理解题。由文章第三段最后一句“...one whose gea

37、rbox sits at sea level rather than behind the blades.”可知C项正确。 11．Wide applications of deepwater wind power technology can________. A. solve the technical problems of deepwater windmills B. make financial profits by producing more turbines C. settle the arguments about environmental problems D. explore low­carbon power resources available at sea 答案：D。细节理解题。由文章最后一句“...it will open up vast areas of the planet's surface to one of the best low­carbon power sources available.”可知D项正确。
