According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance

Câu hỏi :

    An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely. Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled – a far cry from the extensive list of harmful subtances known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.

A. the other substances in the area are known

B. it is in a localized area

C. the natural level is also known

D. it can be calculated quickly

* Đáp án

C

* Hướng dẫn giải

Đáp án C.

Key words: numerical value, concentration level.

Câu hỏi: Theo bài khóa, giá trị bằng con số của mức độ dồn lượng một chất sẽ chỉ hữu dụng khi nào?

Clue: “…the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level”

Phân tích: Ngay sau khi nhắc đến giá trị bằng con số, tác giả đưa ra ví dụ trong đó có sự xuất hiện của hai biến là “concentration level” và “natural level”. Do đó, để “concentration level” có ý nghĩa thì cũng phải biết “natural level”. Chọn đáp án C. the natural level is also known.

Các đáp án khác không phù hợp:

          A. the other substances in the area are known: các chất khác trong tự nhiên được biết.

          B. it is in a localized area: các chất có ở khu vực chuyên môn hóa.

          C. it can be calculated quickly: nó phải được tính nhanh.
