三、阅读理解。
【 A 】
Recently,a solar-powered (太阳能动力的) plane took to the sky for the first time. It passed an important test on the way to travel around the world.
The plane took off from an airport(飞机场)in Switzerland. It slowly rose above the fields and into the sky.
"There has never been an airplane of that kind that could fly—never an airplane so big,so light, using so little energy.” said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project.
During the 90-minute flight (飞行),the plane did several turns. It climbed nearly 1. 6 km above the countryside.
Engineers(工程师) plan to test a night flight(飞行)before July. Then they will use the results(结果)of the tests to build a second plane. They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012.
"We want to fly it day and nigh with no fuel(燃料),” Piccard said. Piccard and pilot (飞行员)Andre Borschberg will take the plane around the world. They will make a few stops to change places and rest after a long time in the air--and to show off their airplane.
The plane will fly at 70 km per hour on average(平均).That is faster than a bike and slower than a car. The pilots will keep the plane in the air for up to five days at a time.

【 B 】
Terrible weather events are harming the planet,and experts warn of even greater results to come. The sea ice loss and the Arctic ice melting(融化)caused by climate change have increased much in the last ten years. So they have pushed down the number of polar bears and seals while polar bears depend on sea ice for hunting seals.
According to the data from the WMO, temperatures on the Antarctica(南极洲)just hit 18.3℃,which is higher than the record of 17.5℃ in March,2015.Moreover,temperatures in this area have warmed about 3℃ over the last 50 years. Although such temperatures might be considered pleasant for a picnic or a hiking trip,this is the Antarctica we are talking about.It is home to the most inhospitable environment on the planet because it is supposed to be an extremely cold place.In fact,the average temperature of the continent's central area is -57℃.
Besides,many places are experiencing the extreme weather this summer. Australia is undergoing its worst drought(干旱)since the 1930s,leaving bushfires burning so long and causing many deaths. Meanwhile in Europe,crops in the northwest are suffering the driest weather in the past 80 years.Recently West Texas in America has also gone through its worst drought in more than 70 years,while floods have hit Eastern and Southern China.
"Climate change is bad for us human beings,which causes direct health problems. I'm afraid there will be more common events like the one that 30,000 to 50,000 persons died in Europe in 2003 due to the heat wave there,"Professor Schwartz said."It will also cause more air pollution,diseases and lack of clean water and so on."
