Soot-also known as black carbon- heats up the atmosphere because it absorb sunlight. But for years the institutions that focus on climate policy have played down the role of pollutants such as black carbon that stay in the atmosphere for a short time and concentrated on carbon dioxide, which once created. tends to remain there. That may soon a change.
A new study concluded that the soot was the second-most-damaging greenhouse agent after co₂ and about twice as bad for the climate as had been thought until now. The consequences are intense. It found that the black carbon around at the moment has a warming effect of about 1.1 w/㎡. This is greater than that of methane(甲烷) and second only to the 1.7w/㎡ of carbon dioxide.
Black carbon is especially damaging to frozen regions, because when soot falls on snow and ice it increases the amount of light and heat they absorb. The new assessment may therefore help explain why the Arctic has been melting faster than anyone had expected. The study argues that warming is likely to be especially marked in the high positions of the northern part of the globe-northern Canada. Alaska, northern Europe and Siberia. It also gives a warning that black carbon, by changing regional precipitation(区域性降水) patterns, may affect Asian monsoons(季风).
The biggest impact of soot, though. is not on the climate but on health-through lung and other diseases. A study estimated that controlling releases of black carbon could save 2.4 million lives a year, regardless of any effects on the climate.
It might seem that the new study is one more item of bad environmental news. Not so. It should be easier to deal with black carbon than with CO₂. Whereas CO₂ is long-lasting and an unavoidable by-product of burning fossil fuels. soot drops out of the atmosphere within weeks. Stop putting it there and it will rapidly go away-a potentially easy win. Dealing with them is also cheaper than cutting CO₂ releases and does not need global agreement, because the local benefits would be the main point, so no one could free-ride on the emission-cutting efforts of others. Instead, the good of the climate would be free-riding on local self-interest.
(B) 32. Why have the institutions paid less attention to soot?
A. It is too small in amount to be noticed.
B. It just stays in the atmosphere for a short time.
C. It belongs to carbon dioxide.
D. It is beyond their study.
【解析】第一段第二句可推断出因为煤烟停留时间短，所以未多关注，选B。
(A) 33. Why has the Arctic been melting faster than expected?
A. Soot has much stronger damaging power.
B. People play down the role of soot.
C. The amount of rain increases.
D. The globe is becoming warmer.
【解析】第三段前两句指出黑炭对冻土地区破坏性尤其大，因为黑炭落到雪和冰上后，会增加他们吸收的光和热的量，这解释了为什么北极地区比人们预料的要融化的快，所以选A。
(D) 34. What is the fundamental reason for people to deal with soot?
A. Soot can change regional precipitation patterns.
B. Soot can fasten the melting pace of frozen regions.
C. Soot can cause acid rain.
D. Soot can cause diseases.
【解析】第三段和第四段主要讲了烟煤造成的`各种危害，其中最大的危害在于对人体健康的危害。通过推理，人们治理烟煤的最基本原因就在于烟煤对人体产生的危害。所以选D。
(B)35. What does the word "free-ride" really mean in the last paragraph?
A. Getting to a certain place without paying the fee.
B. Gaining benefits without doing any efforts.
C. Giving somebody a free ride.
D. Driving a car in one's own power.
【解析】表后一段倒数第二句，处置煤烟比减少二氧化碳排放成本更低，并且不需要全球协定。因为地方会从中最大受益，所以没有人可以搭乘别人减排努力的便车。可知这里的free-ride的真正含义是“不劳而获”，选B。

Tougher prison sentences reduce crime, particularly burglary, according to research. The study, by researchers at Birmingham University, also finds that during periods when police discover more offences, crime tends to fall overall, suggesting that the level of plice activity has a direct effect on criminal activity.
The researchers concluded that an increase of just one month in the average sentence length for burglaries -from 15.4 to 16.4 months-would reduce burglaries in the following year by 4,800, out of an annual total of 962,700.
For frauds (诈骗),an increase in sentences from 9.7 to 10.7 months would result in a reduction of 4,700 offences a year, out of 242,400. The report declares this to be "a significant effect, especially when we consider that the length of sentence usually corresponds to approximately half the actual time spent in custody(拘留)".
The study also estimates that a policy of forcing criminals to serve a higher percentage of their sentences in prison would have a further amazing effect on cutting crime, in part because more criminals would be behind bars for longer.
The report says there is undeniable evidence that more continuous and effective policing cuts crime. "More uncovering is associated with great reductions in crime. It plays a continuous role in preventing crime," says the study, which found that a 1% increase in the uncovering rate would prevent 26,000 burglaries, 85,000 thefts, 2,500 robberies and 1,800 frauds a year.
However, the director of campaigns at the Howard League, Andrew Neilson, questioned the claims. "The effect of prison on reducing crime has never been proven and this research falls short of doing so," Neilson said. "There are numerous international examples of jurisdictions(司法管辖区)which have experienced both falls in crime and falls in prison numbers."
"Factors such as a good economy, more expenses spent on security operation and improved home security had greater roles to play in the fall in crime in England and Wales than an increase in the use of imprisonment."
Neilson also said that the research ignored "the clear failure of prison, as proven by re-offending rates".
(A) 28. What kind of relationship does the research aim to discover?
A. The relationship between prison time and the crime rate.
B. The relationship between the number of prisons and the crime rate.
C. The relationship between prison time and the crime type.
D. The relationship between the number of prisons and the crime type.
【解析】文章主题句第一句“Tougher prison sentences reduce crime, particularly burglary, according to research.”直接表达了A选项的内容。“Tougher prison sentences”指的是更严格的刊期和选项prison time指的内容相同。
(A) 29. What can we learn about the conclusion of the research?
A. There are more burglaries than frauds annually.
B. Sentences for fraud are more serious than those for burglaries.
C. Over 5,000 burglaries were cut when the sentence length increased by a month.
D. If a person is charged with fraud, he or she will be sentenced to about 15 months in prison.
【解析】通过第二、三段的数据对比可以得知A选项正确。
(B) 30.What is Andrew Neilson's attitude towards the findings of the research?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Neutral(中立的). D. Worried.
【解析】倒数第三段“However, the director of campaigns at the Howard League, questioned the claims.”中的.questioned 明确表明了他的质疑态度。
(D) 31. In Andrew Neilson's opinion, the government can help the fall in crime in all of the following ways EXCEPT .
A. developing a good economy B. improving home security
C. increasing funding for the police D. building more prisons
【解析】倒数第二段陈述了A、B、C三个选项的内容。“an increase in the use of imprisonment”实际是指增加刊期，与D选项表达的内容不符。
