第四部分 阅读理解 （共20小题，每小题2分, 满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（ABCD）中，选出最佳选项。

A

For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth's natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside.

Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution. People began to notice the problem in the early 1970s. When builders began making houses and offices, they did not want to waste energy. To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also used man－made building materials which are now known to let out harmful gases.

As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building green plants.

Scientists believe that a plant's leaves absorb the pollutants (污染物). In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants.

56. Indoor air pollution may be more dangerous than the air outside mainly because .

A. people don't want to waste energy

B. the building are too high

C. the flow of air indoor is limited

D. the building materials are harmful

57. In the last paragraph the word“ absorb” may mean .

A. give out B. bring up C. turn into D. take in
