8.In recent years some extreme weather events have arisen from global warming because of human activities,with studies indicating an increasing threat from extreme weather in the future.Scientists were certain that global warming is being caused mostly by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases and other human activities.Its effects include warming global temperature,rising sea levels and expansion of deserts in the subtropics(亚热带).Warming is expected to be greater over land than over the oceans and greatest in the Arctic,with the continuing loss of glaciers,permafrost and sea ice.Other likely changes include more frequent extreme weather events including heat waves,droughts,heavy rainfall with floods,heavy snowfall and species extinction due to great change of temperature.Bad effects on humans include the threat to food security from decreasing crop yields and the loss of populated(住人的) areas because of rising sea levels.
Possible responses to global warming are reduction of emissions(排放),adaptation to its effects,building systems resilient to its effects,and possible future climate engineering.Most countries are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change UNFCCC),whose objective is to prevent dangerous climate change.It has adopted a range of policies designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to assist in adaptation to global warming.It is agreed that future global warming should be limited to below 2.0°C (3.6°F) relative to the pre-industrial level.
On 12November 2015,NASA scientists reported that human-made carbon dioxide continues to increase above levels that have not been seen in hundreds of thousands of years:currently,about half of the carbon dioxide released from the burning of fossil fuels remains in the atmosphere and is not absorbed by vegetation and the oceans.
28.What does the underlined word"resilient"mean?B
A.be easily damaged
B.be able to recover easily
C.can be bent easily
D.be difficult to change
29.Which of following is NOT mentioned as an effect of global warming?D
A.rising sea levels and expansion of deserts
B.more frequent extreme weather events
C.species extinction
D.increasing crop yields
30.Which of the following can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A
A.It is likely for us to deal with global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions,adapting to its effects and climate engineering.
B.There is no solution to too much carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.
C.It is common that human-made carbon dioxide keeps on increasing greatly in the previous several centuries.
D.Future global warming should be limited to below 3.6°C.
分析 本文讲述了温室效应带来的影响,我们应该适应,并要减少温室气体的排放以避免其加剧.
解答 28.B词义猜测题.根据文章第三段第一句"Possible responses to global warming are reduction of emissions(排放),adaptation to its effects,building systems resilient to its effects,and possible future climate engineering."可知,这里的系统是为了更轻易地解决地球遇到的问题.29.D细节理解题.根据文章第二段的内容分析可知,文章并没有涉及到增加农作物产量.
30.A推理判断题.根据文章最后两段的内容可知,可能通过减少温室气体的排放、适应它的影响和气候工程等应对全球变暖.
点评 本文是健康环保类阅读理解.做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.
