Tuvalu, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it will be swallowed up by the sea.[来源:www.]
Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu’s nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country’s drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetables. Without urgent help, the country’s days are numbered.
But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea.Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20 50cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark’s Square, the lowest point city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, global warming causes Tuvalu’s rising sea level.
The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century; scientists expect it rise by extra 1 3 degrees over the next 100 years.
Warmer weather makes glaciers (冰川 ) melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10 25 cm in the last 100 years.
The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.
Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.
Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “ climate_refugees” looking for somewhere to live.
1. We can infer from the second paragraph that________.
A．Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the sea
B．all Tuvalu’s islands are about five meters above the sea level
C．drinking water in Tuvalu has been destroyed
D．Tuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves

A．they are the first place sinking into the sea
B．they are both sinking into the mud where they stand
C．they will disappear in the future
D．their trouble is caused by the global warming

BEIJING, China —Pollution in China remains very serious as the country’s rapid economic growth brings new environmental problems, a minister said Saturday.
Vice Environment Minister Zhang Lijun said China has made progress on environmental protection, but admitted that its rapid economic growth over the past decade has had a negative effect on the environment.
“Our rapid economic development has continuously brought our country new environmental problems, particularly dangerous chemicals, electronic waste and so on.These environmental pollutants (污染物) bring new problems and affect human health，” Zhang told a news conference.
He said that emissions (排放) of traditional pollutants remain high and some areas have failed to meet government standards.
The minister noted that rapid development in the next five years would increase the need for China to improve environmental protection and shift to a more sustainable
(可持续的) model of economic development from its dependence on industries which consume huge quantities of energy.
China is focusing on clean energy, including solar, wind and nuclear power, as one way to reduce its dependence on coal, which generates three quarters of its electricity and is also used for winter heating in northern cities. China also hopes the strategy will reduce its demand for oil and gas and increase economic growth and jobs.
Zhang told reporters there was no plan to adjust China’s overall strategy for nuclear development but he said Beijing will learn lessons from Japan after a violent earthquake resulted in a radioactive leak (放射能泄露)．
“Some lessons we learn from Japan will be considered in the making of China’s nuclear power plans，” he said. “But China will not change its determination and plan for developing nuclear power.”
语篇解读： 本文是一篇新闻报道。中国在经济高速发展的同时面临严重的环境问题，因此政府将致力于转变经济发展方式。

A．reduces B．transports
C．produces D．needs
解析：选C。词义猜测题。根据本词所在语境及常识不难得知，我国主要依靠煤发电，且煤也用于北方城市的冬日取暖。故选C项。

BEIJING, China —Pollution in China remains very serious as the country’s rapid economic growth brings new environmental problems, a minister said Saturday.
Vice Environment Minister Zhang Lijun said China has made progress on environmental protection, but admitted that its rapid economic growth over the past decade has had a negative effect on the environment.
“Our rapid economic development has continuously brought our country new environmental problems, particularly dangerous chemicals, electronic waste and so on.These environmental pollutants (污染物) bring new problems and affect human health，” Zhang told a news conference.
He said that emissions (排放) of traditional pollutants remain high and some areas have failed to meet government standards.
The minister noted that rapid development in the next five years would increase the need for China to improve environmental protection and shift to a more sustainable
(可持续的) model of economic development from its dependence on industries which consume huge quantities of energy.
China is focusing on clean energy, including solar, wind and nuclear power, as one way to reduce its dependence on coal, which generates three quarters of its electricity and is also used for winter heating in northern cities. China also hopes the strategy will reduce its demand for oil and gas and increase economic growth and jobs.
Zhang told reporters there was no plan to adjust China’s overall strategy for nuclear development but he said Beijing will learn lessons from Japan after a violent earthquake resulted in a radioactive leak (放射能泄露)．
“Some lessons we learn from Japan will be considered in the making of China’s nuclear power plans，” he said. “But China will not change its determination and plan for developing nuclear power.”

A
Tuvalu, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it will be swallowed up by the sea.
Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu’s nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country’s drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetables. Without urgent help, the country’s days are numbered.
But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea.Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20 50cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark’s Square, the lowest point city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, global warming causes Tuvalu’s rising sea level.
The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century; scientists expect it rise by extra 1 3 degrees over the next 100 years.
Warmer weather makes glaciers (冰川 ) melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10 25 cm in the last 100 years.
The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.
Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.
Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “ climate_refugees” looking for somewhere to live.
1. We can infer from the second paragraph that________.
A．Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the sea
B．all Tuvalu’s islands are about five meters above the sea level
C．drinking water in Tuvalu has been destroyed
D．Tuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves

3．Put the following events in the right order.
a．Glaciers began to melt.
b．People burn coal, oil and gas.
c．The greenhouse effect is growing.
