Question

Do you know you could get sick just by walking past a building? The bacteria(細(xì)菌) that cause Legionnaire's disease grow very fast in large modern buildings. They are carried by air through the buildings and outside. Legionnaire s disease is only one of the illnesses that are caused by "sick buildings".

Some buildings can make you ill because their heating and air-conditioning(空調(diào)調(diào)節(jié)系統(tǒng)) are controlled(控制). Air from outside cannot get in through the closed windows; This indoor air pollution is a growing problem.

Legionnaire's disease may be the most serious result of sick buildings, but other unpleasant illnesses can appear.People who work in some buildings suffer （受苦）from tiredness, feeling sick and headaches. Their offices look bright and clean, but invisible(無形的) and dangerous bacteria are in the air around them.

There is an answer to the problem. The air-conditioning and heating can be tested for bacteria. Once the tests are finished, the sick buildings can be cured. This is expensive to do, but the results are good. The people in the buildings no longer get sick, and everybody is happier.

試題分析：本文介紹我們并不熟知的一種疾病叫做“建筑物疾病”。密閉嚴(yán)實的大樓可能會使我們不舒服，因為空氣不流通，新鮮空氣進不來。這樣會使人們頭痛，疲乏等。

1.

2.

3.推理判斷題。文章第三段最后兩行.People who work in some buildings suffer （受苦）from tiredness, feeling sick and headaches. Their offices look bright and clean, but invisible(無形的) and dangerous bacteria are in the air around them.“在一些大樓里工作的人們遭受著疲勞、頭痛的痛苦。他們的辦公室看起來很亮很干凈，但是卻有無形的危險的細(xì)菌彌漫在空氣中。”可知如果一幢樓里的人們有各種各樣的疾病時，說明這是一個sick building。故選D。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第三段第一句話Legionnaire's disease may be the most serious result of sick buildings,可知A正確；選項B文章沒有提及；文章第三段最后一句話Their offices look bright and clean, but invisible(無形的) and dangerous bacteria are in the air around them.可知C錯誤；根據(jù)最后一段第二行This is expensive to do, but the results are good.可知D錯誤。故選A。
