1.[B]事实细节题。本题主要考査复合句的理解。第2段最后一句表明B是正确选项。选项A中的most和C中的only都太绝对了,文中并未对选项A和C中的相关说法加以这样的限定。选项D也太绝对了,第2段第3句只是说到“大多数情况下是因为空调设计欠佳所致”,并不是说所有设计良好的大厦就不会发生这种情况。
2.[A]事实细节題。本题考查复合句的理解。只要明白第3段第2句这个非限制性定语从句中的thebottomsofwhich中的which是指上文的reservoirs,问题就不难解决了。
3.[C]事实细节题。本题考查被动语态长句的理解。在第3段第3句中,关键词是highlight,选项C是对原句主谓部分的近义替换。选项A和B在文中皆无提及,选项D是过度使用生物杀灭剂的后果,与本题干的情况无关。
4.[A]观点态度题。第3段最后两句讨论生物杀灭剂的用处,其中最后一句中的but,dangerous和cancers等词说明作者认为要慎用这种杀灭剂。作者并没对杀灭剂全盘否定,只是说过量使用会引发危险,因此选项D不对。
