That is why citizen scientists are starting to map the urban heat island effect.- 7 -Later this month,

15、a team of researchers and about 20 volunteers will spread out across Washington D.C. and Baltimore to take the cities temperatures.

27、The heat differences throughout the city result from the following factors except（2）分散型：题目涉及到文章某一段或几段，甚至贯穿全文的各个位置，需要考生寻找文章中的多个细节。请注意，分散型细节理解题并不意味着题目的正确答案出现在文章的不同位置，正确答案往往也是关于文章的某一个句子或细节。只是说文章的干扰选项是关于不同的细节，需要我们在定位的时候阅读某一个区域。分散型细节理解题常见的出题方式有：Which of the following is not true? We can learn/infer from

28、the passage that Which of the following is NOT mentioned about ?也有因题而异的，有些看似集中的其实也分散在文中，需要考生仔细定位。CAlison Malmon was completing the end of her freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania, US, when she got the news: Her older brother Brian, a student at Columbia University, was suffering from ment
