A）abilityB）associatedC）consciouslyD）constantE）controlF）damageG）describedH）equalsI）exclusivelyJ）innovatedK）regularlyL）relatesM）sourcesN）undermineO）vehicles

答案：

26.Fdamage（损害）27.Bassociated（与……有联系）28.Msources（来源）29.Dconstant（不断的，常存在的）30.Gdescribed（描述）31.Econtrol（控制）32.Hequals（等同于）33.Kregularly（经常地）34.Iexclusively（仅仅，唯一地）35.Ovehicles（车辆）

解析：

26.Fdamage空格所在句子的含义为：

空气污染每年在福利费用方面给全球经济造成5万多亿损失，最大的......发生在开展中国家。

根据上下文可知这里应该填入一个跟损失有关联的词汇，另外在语法上这里应该填入一个名词devastating，“具有破坏力的〞修饰，所以我们应该可以确定答案为damage，“损害〞n.

27.Bassociated空格所在句子的含义为：

这个福利数字包含许多与空气污染......的福利费用，比方健康与消费。

根据语法上判断，这里应该填入一个过去分词做costs的后置定语，另外从语义上判断，associatedwithairpollution做cost的后置定语，表示与空气污染相关的费用，语义上也符合上下文语境。

28.Msources空格所在的句子的含义为：

室内污染，包括像暖气和做饭一样的......。

从语法上判断这里应该填入名词，并且这个名词是一个大范围的词可以包括暖气和做饭，另外从语义上判断sourceslikehomeheatingandcooking表示像暖气和做饭一样的来源也符合上下文语境。
