No one can know for sure what the weather is going to be like in the future, but many people think there are going to be some differences.
According to scientists, one difference is that it might be much hotter and it's going to rain less. Some countries in Africa are going to become dry all year round, and people can hardly find food and water.
In Southern Europe and the United States, it's going to be more difficult for farmers to cultivate plants, because there is less water. People there are also going to have problems finding food in the future.
No one knows how much warmer it is going to be, but scientists say that the change is going to be at least 2℃. They say that the ice in the Arctic(北极) is going to melt(融化) in following years. And a lot of animals there are going to die. There is also going to be more water in the sea, so cities near the sea are going to disappear.
Another difference is that there are going to be more hurricanes and typhoons(飓风和台风). Scientists say they are going to happen all over the world, and many people are going to lose their homes.

请阅读下面短文,根据所提供的信息,回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题。
There are usually four seasons in a year. Different people like different seasons. Some like spring because spring is the start of a year. Some like autumn because it's the season to harvest(收获). Some like winter, because when it's snowy, they can make snowmen outside.
I like summer best because there is always a long holiday during my school time every year. I believe every student must have the same feeling as me.
I live in the southeast of China. When the summer holiday is coming, I often have a good plan for travelling. I often talk with my friends about where to go or what to do. My favourite activity in summer is swimming. I enjoy swimming with my friends or family in rivers or lakes.
However, I also know that we should be careful when we swim because it is dangerous. I think parents should take their children to swimming pools to swim.
The temperature in summer is high and many people would like to stay at home. But I enjoy the hot weather because it always leaves me nice memories(记忆) of those happy days.
