本文属于过程说明文中的人为过程说明文,篇章展开的方式是给予指令或建议。该短文从四个方面提出了遇到雷电时人们应该采取的防护措施。

1.D下文谈的都是有关"防护"的措施。save 通常指已经遇到危险时的救护,而本文谈的更多的是防患于未然。

4.A根据后面的washing machine可以确定该答案。

5.C雷电只有"进人"屋内,才有可能将Falvey击伤。

12.A根据本段的首句和尾句不难选定。

13.A手臂上能够立起来的只能是"汗毛"。

16.D根据常识,打雷时,若房子被雷击,让电视机处于接通电源状态,电视机肯定会受损的。

17.B另三个选项不能概全。

18.A properly指方法得当地安装。

19.D根据常识,安装避雷针的目的是为了"减少"被雷电侵袭的几率,而非消除被雷电损害的现象。

 Latin America and other poor regions of the world will bear the impact(影响) of climate change, a top official from the organization that shared this year's Nobel Peace Prize said.

  The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ,a UN network of scientists,was awarded the prize along with former US Vice President AI Gore for their work warning the pub?lic of the peril of global warming.

  "The results of the IPCC show very clearly the impact of climate change will be much seve?rer for the poorest groups and Latin America is included in that”,said IPCC vice chairman Mo?han Munasinghe of Sri Lanka.

  He said water management issues were likely to be the most pressing problem caused by global warming in Latin America. Dry areas will become much drier and other areas will face increased floods and associated waterbome diseases like malaria and dengue fever.

  He said in spite of the problems faced by Latin America, the region is very practical in dealing with the issue.

  "My sense is that Latin American countries have been much more responsive(反应积极的) to the issue of climate change because they feel much more vulnerable(脆弱的) ,"Munasinghe said. "For North America, particularly the United States, the reaction is more defensive."

  Brazilian Environment Minister Marina Silva said, "Global warming is a burden(负担)shared by both developing and developed nations. If we are to reduce our "greenhouse" gas e-mission by 100 percent, without richer nations reducing theirs by at least 80 percent, we will still be affected.”

   Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.

    Sometimes the word "green" means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns (角) had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle.    By the eighteenth century a greenhorn had the meaning it has today―a person who is new in a job.

Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expres?sion comes from the early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.

   The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.

   Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling jealousy(嫉妒) .The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play "Othello". It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suf?fer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and she does not. 

(   ) 5. Greenhorn now refers to .

   A.a person who is new in a job

   C.a young horse

   D.none of the above

   A.who is good at growing plants

   B.whose thumbs are in green color

   C.whose garden is greener than others'
