Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

“The Lancet” in line 2, paragraph 7, refers to_______.

The word “exposed” in line 1，paragraph 4, is closest in meaning to_______.

(A)　　In “Health and Climate Change: policy responses to protect public healthy” a group of European and Chinese academics built upon a 2009 report in The Lancet that outlined the expected public health impacts of climate change (full disclosure —the group of academics includes the author of this post). These impacts include increasing instances of respiratory, cardiovascular, and vector-borne diseases as well as under-nutrition and mental health challenges. 　　But, even more immediately, the authors discuss how moving away from carbon-intensive energy technologies could improve public health today by reducing other types of air pollution including particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx).　　The core of this discussion lies on the fact that energy technologies that produce greenhouse gases also often produce these other air pollutants simultaneously. For example, diesel and gasoline vehicles, coal power plants, biomass (for example, wood and charcoal) for cooking, and many industrial processes (for example, mining, cement manufacturing, and smelting) all produce both carbon dioxide and particulate matter (PM).　　These other air pollutants lead to higher rates of illness and premature death in exposed populations.　　In the United Kingdom, air pollution from coal power plants is responsible for an estimated ￡3.1 billion per year in added health costs to treat conditions including lung cancer and chronic bronchitis. Overall, air pollution from the UK’s power sector is responsible for approximately 3,800 premature deaths each year due to respiratory disease alone. Each year, pollution from the UK’s transportation sector leads to 7,500 premature deaths across the country.　　Air pollution in China has an even more dramatic impact on human health. In 2010, air pollution led to an estimated 1.2 million premature deaths and the loss of 25 million healthy years of life. These premature deaths correspond to economic losses of up to USD 1.4 trillion. The average person in China will lose over 3 years (40 months) of life due to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution even though the country already spends an estimated 0.37% of its GDP on cleaning the air. 　　Countries could quickly and economically reduce air pollution and its direct impacts on public health by transition to low-carbon energy technologies, according to The Lancet report. For example, a combination of more fuel efficient vehicles and increasing amounts of walking and cycling in the U.K.’s urban areas could lead to a net savings of more than ￡15 billion by 2030 to the country’s social security and healthcare systems.　　The overall message from the new Lancet report is that climate change mitigation could be the greatest global health opportunity of the 21st century. Much of this opportunity lies in avoiding future negative health impacts from climate change. However, an arguably stronger—and certainly more immediate—case lies in the immediate benefits resulting from lower levels of air pollution as we move to low-carbon energy technologies. 　　The word “that” in line 2, paragraph 1，refers to______.

My View on New Energy Automobiles

Web developer Nathan Broadbent loved automating everyday tasks. He also loved frozen dinners and wanted to program his microwave to prepare them. He suspected an oven could take advantage of Universal Product Codes—the bar codes found on almost all food packaging—to download and execute cooking instructions all by itself. “We’re at this point with technology that we have everything we need to make this possible, but no one’s doing it.”he says. To prove it, Broadbent took apart a 1990S—eramicrowave, studied its circuitry, and integrated a Raspberry Pi mini computer (and a custom circuit board) to hijack the oven’s electronics. Next, he attached a Wi-Fi adapter, a microphone, a speaker, and a barcode scanner. When the scanner identifies a food, the Pi downloads cooking instructions from an online database that Proadbent created and programs the oven to carry them out. The appliance even obeys voice commands (e.g., “Cook on high for two minutes”) and accepts instructions wirelessly via Internet-connected devices. When something finishes cooking, the oven doesn’t just beep—it speaks and can also update a Twitter account. So now Broadbent can have his microwavable cake and tweeze it too.

Between the distant quasars and the stars of the Sun’s neighborhood lies a vast middle ground where the architecture of the cosmos stands in full display. Far from scattering at random as astronomers once surmised, galaxies tend to congregate，as people do. Moreover, their congregations also congregate, and so on.

The more miscarriages or abortions a woman has, the greater are her chances of giving birth to a child that is underweight or premature in the future, the research shows. Low birthweight (under 2500 g) and (31) birth (less than 37 weeks) are two of the major contributors (32) deaths(33) newborn babies and infants. Rates of low (34) and premature birth were highest among mothers who were black, young or old, poorly (35), and unmarried. But there was a strong association (36) miscarriage and abortion and an early or underweight birth, even (37) adjusting for other influential factors, such as smoking, high blood pressure and heavy drinking. Women who had (38) one, two, or three or more miscarriages or (39) in the past were almost three, five, and nine times as likely to give birth to an underweight child as those without previous(40)or abortions.
