解析:

(1)

主旨題?v觀全文,文章的前半部分講的是導(dǎo)致污染的原因,而后半部分講的是污染的結(jié)果。而A項只強調(diào)起因,C項只強調(diào)結(jié)果,D項與本文沒有什么關(guān)系。所以B項為正確答案。

(2)

推理題。文章沒有直接說寫這篇文章的目的。但我們從受污染的結(jié)果可以推斷出寫這篇文章的目的就是要我們減少污染。所以A項為正確答案。

(3)

細(xì)節(jié)題。第一段后半部分說明,空氣污染的主要原因是汽車的廢氣和用來發(fā)電的煤和油的燃燒。而汽車和電在城市里比在郊區(qū)用得多。故D項正確。

(4)

細(xì)節(jié)題。文章最后一段直接提到“wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may…cause metal to corrode.”。所以C項為正確答案。

(5)

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后一句“these fumes endanger the lives of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.”可知,B項為正確答案。
