根据以下内容回答题,
There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic.At present,we realize that although these are the.areas with the worst air pollution,the problem is literally worldWide.On several occasions over the past decade,a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile tmmc.In fact,the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air poilu-tion.Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels(coal and oil)is creating a“greenhouse effect”——con-serving heat refleeted from the earth and raising the world’S average temperature.If this view is correct and the worid’s temperature is raised only a few degrees,much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York,Boston,Miami,and New Orleans will be in water. Another view.1ess widely held,is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature——a result that would be equally disas-trous.A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age,and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top fanning areas.Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen(though one recent government report drafted bv experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is#cry possible).Perhaps,if we are lucky enough,the two tendencies will offset each other and the world’s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.
As Dointed out at the beginning of the passage,people used to think that air pollution__________ .
A.caused widespread damage in the countryside
B.affected the entire eastern half of the United States
C.had a damaging effect on health
D.existed merely in urban and industries areas

It's actually rather difficult to say which cities【23】the largest. There are two reasons for this difficulty. First of all, it isn't easy to determine a city's boundaries, that is, where a city ends. Nowadays, nearly all cities have a large【24】area around them. So when we talk about the population of a city, we often mean the population of the whole metropolitan area around the city. That means that it's difficult to determine what the population of a city is because it's difficult to define what a city is.
The second reason that it is difficult to【25】the population of different cities is this: it is almost impossible to get【26】about the population of all cities for the same year. For example, we might get an estimate of New York's population in 1979 and an【27】of Mexico City's population in 1981. So we real ly can't compare the numbers because the information is for【28】different years. And the population of cities changes rather quickly, especially in some cases. For example, the population of Jakarta, Indonesia, may increase by 5% each year, so the population figure will change rather quickly.
So we can say that these are our two【29】for comparing the populations of cities: one, it's difficult to determine the【30】of a city, and two, it is difficult to get accurate information.

The heated air above a fire rises in a pillar of smoke and burnt gases, pulling fresh air in from the sides to replace it. Firefighters use this fact when they "fight fire with fire." They start a fire well in front of the one which they are fighting. Instead of traveling on in front of the huge fire, the smaller fire is pulled back toward it by the updrafts of the larger blaze. As it travels back to meet the large fire, the smaller backfire burns away the fuel that the forest fire needs to survive.
Even when a backfire has been well set, however, the fire may still win the struggle. The wind which the firefighters used to help them may now become their enemy. When the backfire meets the main fire, before both die for lack of fuel, there is tremendous flame, great heat and wild winds. A strong gust may blow the fire into the treetops beyond the area, giving the fire new fuel and a new life.
This passage focuses on ______.
A.how fires start
B.damage caused by fire
C.the fascination of fire
D.fighting forest fires
