You might think that“global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature.But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation(撤离)of an island nationthe citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.
During the 20th century,sea level rose 8~12 inches.As a result,Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water that has polluted the country’s drinking water.
Paani Laupepa,a Tuvaluan government official,reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years.Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.
Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol,an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions(导致温室效应的气体排放),which are a main cause of global warming.“By refusing to sign the agreement,the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years.”Laupepa told the BBC.
Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.
Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影响的)to rising sea levels.Maumoon Gayoon,president of the Maldives,told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an“endangered nation”.
1.The text is mainly about_________. A.rapid changes in earth’s temperature B.bad effects of global warming

In the atmosphere,carbon dioxide allows the sun’s rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping.According to a weather expert’s prediction,the atmosphere will be warmer in the year 2050 than it is today,if man continues to burn fuels at the present rate.If this warming up took place,the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt,thus raising sea level several meters and severely flooding coastal cities.Also,the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere.
In the past,concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet.But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic,which may be affected by only a few degrees of warming,in other words,by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels.Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing.The evidence suggests that a warming has taken place.This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.
However,most of the fuel is burnt in the northern part of the earth,where temperatures seem to be falling.Scientists conclude,therefore,that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man.The question is: Which natural cause has most effect on the weather?

One possibility is the behavior of the sun.Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and “cold” spots,that is,the relatively less hot spots,on the sun.This seems to have a greater effect on the distribution of the earth’s atmospheric pressure,and consequently on wind circulation(循环).The sun is also variable(可变的) over a long term.Its heat output(输出)goes up and down in cycles.The latest trend being downward is on the way.But that is only a imagination.
5.The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would_________. A prevent the sun’s rays from reaching the earth’s surface B.mean a warming up in the Arctic
C.account for great changes in the climate D.raise the temperature of the earth’s surface 6.The article was written to explain_________ . A.the greenhouse effect
B.the solar effects on the earth C.the solar weather
D.the causes affecting weather
7.Although the fuel is greater in the northern part,temperatures there seem to be falling.This is_________.
A.mainly because the carbon dioxide is rising
B.possibly because the ice caps in the poles are melting C.due to the effect of the earth’s climate D.partly due to the activity of the sun
8.What does the underlined word exceeded mean? A.To be the same as. B.To be slower than. C.To be better than. D.To be bigger than. 【答案】
5. D 文章第一段讲到二氧化碳在大气中就像温室的玻璃屋顶一样吸收太阳的光线并阻挡光热的流失,文章第三段最后一句话又再次提到二氧化碳能使地球变热的理论。因此,正确答案为D项。?
6. D 全文讲述的是影响天气的诸多原因。选项A、B、C在文中均被提及但不足以概括全文的主旨,只有D项是比较全面的。?
C

things dirty.Pollution comes in many ways.We see it,smell it,drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth.The more people,the more pollution.Many years ago,the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people.When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place,Man moved to another place.But this is no longer true.Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious.It’s bad for all living things in the world,but it is not the only one kind of pollution.Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water.Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city,and from putting dirty smoke into the air.
Pollution bycarbon dioxide is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution.It is caused by heavy traffic.It is true that if there are fewer people driving,there will be less air pollution.

四、书面表达
当前不少文学作品被改编成电影。有人选择看电影,有人则喜欢读原著。请你以“Film or book, which do you prefer?”为题,按照下列要点写一篇报告:
看电影:省时、有趣、易懂
读原著:细节更多、语言优美
我的看法及理由 注意:1、词数:100-120 文章题目和开头已给出(不计入词数)。
2、参考词汇: original work 或 book in the original (原著) Film or book, which do you prefer?
Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. _____________________________________________________________________
One possible version:
Film or book, which do you prefer?
Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story. Besides, the film is usually more interesting, and it is easier to follow.
Some others have just the opposite opinion. They think that they can get more detailed information from the original. Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful.
Personally, I agree with the second view. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think I can stay at home, reading quietly in a situation of my own, and what’s more, I am able to better understand the author’s ideas. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it.
