13、项切题。 阅读理解ATerribly hot weather. Pouring downpours. Scientists have long suspected that global warming can cause extreme weather events. Now experts have numbers to support that idea.The burning of fossil fuels has been leading to a buildup of carbon dioxide in the Earths atmosphere. This CO2 is a gr
14、eenhouse gas. That means it can trap heat in the air. As a result, our planets temperature has been rising. And that global warming will account for a growing share of ever more frequent extreme weather events.Many governments hope to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius above temperatures that
15、 were typical before the Industrial Revolution. It will be hard for nations to achieve that. But even if they do, global warming still will be responsible for nearly all heat extremes. Global warming also will be to blame for about 2 out of every 5 extreme rains and snowfalls. “This is a considerabl
16、e fraction of major weather events， ” says climate scientist Peter Stott. So far, the Earth has warmed about 0.85 degree Celsius since 1750. Thats about when the lndustrial Revolution got its start. Thats also when fossil fuel use took off, spewing (喷出) lots of CO2 into the air. Overall, the new stu
17、dy shows that “relatively small rises in the global temperature translate into large increases in the likelihood of extremes， ” Stott says.Erich Fischer and Reto Knutti analyzed 25 different computer models of global climate. These analyses looked at different climate periods, from preindustrial tim
18、es to the present. The analyses also predicted what weather events were likely to be like in the future. This period was predicted to be warmer by 2 and 3 degrees Celsius.The computer looked at when extreme heat and precipitation (降水量) occurred during each climate period. It focused on events of unu
19、sual heat or heavy precipitation. Before the Industrial Revolution, such extremes typically would have occurred only once in every 1,000 days.But since the globe has been warming, such extremes are no longer nearly as rare. These new findings provide “a global statement”， Fischer says. “You can stil
20、l get the biggest heat that you have ever seen without any human changes.”1The second paragraph is mainly about _.Awhat damage global warming causedBhow global warming came into beingCwhere global warming is becoming seriousDwhy fossil fuels have to be forbidden答案：B 段落大意题。根据第二段的内容可知，这一段主要阐释了全球变暖是如何形
21、成的。故选 B。2What Peter said in Para.3 suggests that _.Ait is reasonable for climate change to happenBthere is no serious effect of global warming nowCthe influence of global warming is great Dthe extreme weather happens in small numbers答案：C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This is a considerable fraction of major weather
22、 events”可知，彼得认为这是一个相当大的数量，说明了全球变暖的影响是巨大的。3In the future, the temperature may rise at least by _ degrees Celsius.A2.5 B3 C4 D2答案：D 细节理解题。结合倒数第三段最后一句 “This period was predicted to be warmer by 2 and 3 degrees Celsius.”可知，未来的温度至少上升两度。4According to the passage, extreme weather _.Awill happen more often
23、than beforeBhappens once in every 1,000 daysCstrikes every region without differencesDbecomes a rare phenomenon across the planet答案：A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句 “Before the Industrial Revolution, such extremes typically would have occurred only once in every 1,000 days.”和最后一段第一句“But since the globe has been
24、warming, such extremes are no longer nearly as rare.”可知，未来这种极端的天气会频繁发生。BMore than three billion people are at risk from indoor air pollution because of the heating or cooking fuels they use. Most live in Africa, India and China. They use biomass fuels like wood, crop waste, animal waste or coal. The
25、se solid fuels may be the least costly fuels available. But they are also a major cause of health problems and death.The Aprovecho Research Center has been designing cooking stoves for the developing world. People having less money use wood or biomass for cooking; the richer people use oil and gas.
26、Its been estimated that wood is running out more quickly than oil and gas.The group has made stoves using mud, bricks, sheet metal, clay, ceramics and old oil drums. Most of the stoves look like large, deep cooking pots. They have an opening at the bottom for the fire and a place on top to put a pot
27、.In the late 1970s, Aprovecho produced a popular stove called the Lorena. The Lorena was very good at reducing smoke and warming homes. But new tests years later found that it was not very efficient. The Lorena used twice as much wood as an open fire, and took much longer to heat food. Since then, t
28、hey have experimented with countless other designs.Their goal is to make a very inexpensive stovelets say five dollarsthat makes very, very little smoke, so its safe for health and global warming and deforestation (采伐森林)Aprovecho has now partnered with a stove manufacturer in China. The company is m
29、aking Aprovechos first mass produced stoves. They are said to use forty to fifty percent less wood than an open fire, and produce fifty to seventyfive percent less smoke. A company called Stove Tec is selling them through its website for less than ten dollars. Dean still says that more than one hund
30、red thousand have been sold so far.5The underlined word “biomass” in Paragraph 2 refers to _.Aoil and gas BwoodCcoal Dcrop waste or animal waste答案：D 词义猜测题。根据下文“the richer people use oil and gas”可以排除A 选项。第一段介绍了发展中国家的人们使用“wood，crop waste，animal waste or coal”，而 biomass 所在的句子为“People having less money
31、use wood or biomass for cooking .”，故可排除 B 选项，煤炭也是需要花钱的，因此最便宜的燃料除了木头就是“crop waste” 或“animal waste”。故选 D 项。6The following sentence is taken from the passage; it should be placed at the end of _.The World Health Organization estimates that over 1,500,000 people a year die from breathing smoke from soli
32、d fuels.AParagraph 1 BParagraph 2CParagraph 3 DParagraph 4答案：A 推理判断题。由第一段最后一句“But they are also a major cause of health problems and death.”可知，这些燃料会给广大发展中国家的穷人带来健康问题，甚至死亡威胁，而题干中的句子举例来说明这些燃料的危害，所以选A 项。7Which of the following about the Lorena mentioned in Paragraph 4 is WRONG?AIt was a popular stove w
33、hich began to be produced in 1970.BIt was able to be used with less smoke.CIt was good at heating houses.DIt needed more fuels than an open fire.答案：A 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“In the late 1970s，Aprovecho produced a popular stove called the Lorena.”可知，A 项表述错误。8Stoves designed by the Aprovecho Research Center should be _.luxurious costly efficient lowcarboncleanerA BC D答案：B 推理判断题。根据文章第五段内容可知，该研究中心设计的炉子应该具有价格低廉、效率高、低碳、清洁的特点。
