三、阅读理解
Based on new analysis,we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe.Geographers predict that within the next eighty years,current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear.Polar regions(极地地区) will get colder while tropical(热带的) regions will get even hotter,forcing animals to migrate(迁徙) north.
Climate change could lead to the spread of diseases.Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase,but may also become more intense.If the climate change comes too quickly,animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.
According to Science Daily,a new study predicts that by the year 2100,many of today’s familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today’s world.It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world.The planet itself has been showing signs of change.In 2004,a serious tsunami(海啸) created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008,thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake.Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was completely destroyed in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.
Within just the last few months,new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought.At this point,it doesn’t matter what is causing it,but rather,what can be done about it.What’s more,our world is getting more and more unstable every year.There is war and threat of war everywhere.Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.
However,other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this.No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.
1.What is the major function of paragraph 1
A.To arouse the readers’ concern.
B.To introduce the theme.
C.To summarise the whole passage.
D.To state how the climate changes.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Based on new analysis,we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe.”可知,最新研究数据表明,世界的气候变化已经严重影响了社会和环境。而接下来的几段则是围绕气候变化对社会和环境的具体影响而展开的,由此可推知,第一段主要是介绍文章的主题。故选B项。
2.What is the author’s purpose in using the examples of earthquakes
A.To show major changes are taking place on the planet.
B.To remind people to prevent future earthquakes.
C.To show the damage earthquakes caused.
D.To tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The planet itself has been showing signs of change.”可知,列举最近地球上所发生的地震是为了说明地球正在发生着重大变化。故选A项。
3.Which of the following is NOT true of the climate change’s effects
A.Animals and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.
B.It could lead to the spread of diseases.
C.Current world climate zones could shift and completely disappear.
D.Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Geographers predict that within the next eighty years,current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear.”可知,地理学家预计在未来的八十年中,现在的世界气候带可能会改变,有的可能会完全消失,C项中说世界气候带可能会变化并会完全消失,与文中描述不符。故C项错误。
4.What can be inferred from the passage
A.Animals and plants won’t die out as long as climate changes slowly.
B.There’s enough data for us to predict the future of climate change.
C.The world is getting more unstable because of animal migration.
D.Earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“However,other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this.”可知,地球并不是唯一一个在经历气候变化的星球。故选D项。
