参考解析

解析:由文章标题和第一段第一句可知,这里指的应该是在地下燃烧的火焰。underground地下的;house房子,房屋;sky天空;water水。
煤在地下燃烧产生的火焰能够使地表温度升高,并且毁坏周围的植被,产生温室气体,甚至能点燃森林。even在这里表示程度的递进。only仅仅,只有;just仅仅;even甚至,更then 然后。
此处表示“有毒气体的释放”,表示气体的释放应用"release"。 paste糨糊;consumption 消费;release释放;elimination消除,根除。
地下煤的燃烧是一种全球性的灾难,令人惊奇的是却很少有人了解,这里表示的是一种惊讶。happily愉快地;surprisingly惊人地,出人意料地;traditionally传统地;fashionably时髦地。
在有阳光和氧气的情况下,产生的热量会引起自燃,可见煤产生的热量并没有消失。 disappear消失;exchange交换;regenerate再生;transfer转换,转变。
此处表示:这样的火灾在中国每年消耗的煤多达2亿吨。most大多数,大部分;some一些,某些;such这种的,这样的;many许多,很多。
in comparison表示“与……相比”,用在这里表示中国发生自燃的煤量与美国经济消耗的煤量的比较。case案件,情况;time时间,时代;comparison比较;turn转动,旋转。
空格后的analysis与空格前的先行词Stracher是所有关系,因此用whose来引导这个定语从句,并在从句中作主语。which哪一个,一般用来引导先行词为物的定语从句;who谁,常用来引导先行词为人的定语从句,并在从句中作主语;what什么,常用来引导疑问句或名词性从句。
这句话的意思是:地下的煤一旦燃烧,火焰将会持续几十年,甚至几百年。因此用连词 once。 yet然而;unless除非;once一旦;although尽管,虽然。
volume表示the amount of sth.,意思是“量,额”,用在这里表明有毒气体、温室气体以及黑色颗粒的量很大。data数据;figure数字;volume量,分量;image影像,形象。
科研小组的成员讨论的是这些火焰的影响,have impact on是常用搭配,表示对……有影响。impact影响,作用;attack袭击,攻击;identification鉴定,识别;implication含义,蕴含。
这句话表明,在地下燃烧的特质使这些火焰很难被探测到。develop开发,发展;relieve 解除,缓解;supply提供,供应;detect侦察,发现,探测。
根据后文的how much可知,这里指的是对产生的二氧化碳的量的评估。experiment实验;estimate评估;gather收集,聚集;illustrate说明,解释。
Gary Colaizzi提出的是一种控制这些火焰的方法,因此用method来表示。cause原因,动机;treatment治疗,疗法;rule规则,规定;method方法,方式。
切断氧气的供应,应该用cut off来表示。take up占据;cut off切除,切断;back up支持; run out用完,耗尽。
