【题目】William Curry is a serious climate scientist, not an art critic. But he has spent a lot of time on Emanuel Leutze’s famous painting “George Washington Crossing the Delaware,” which describes a boatload of colonial American soldiers making their way to attack English the day after Christmas in 1776. “Most people think these other guys in the boat are rowing, but they are actually pushing the ice away,” says Curry, tapping his finger on the painting. Sure enough, the lead sailor is breaking the frozen river with his boot. “I grew up in the Philadelphia. The place in this painting is 30 minutes away by car. I can tell you, this kind of thing just doesn’t happen anymore.”

But it may again soon. And ice-choked scenes may also return to Europe. The 16th-century painter Pieter’s works, including the 1565 masterpiece “Hunters in the Snow,” make the now-temperate European landscapes look more like Lapland. Such frigid settings were commonplace during a period dating roughly from 1300 to 1850 because much of North America and Europe was in the pain of a little ice age. And now there is increasing evidence that the cold could return. A growing number of scientists believe conditions are right for another lasted cooldown, or small ice age. While no one is predicting an ice sheet like the one that covered the Northern Hemisphere with glaciers about 12,000 years ago, the next cooling trend could drop average temperatures 5 degrees over much of the United States and 10 degrees in the Northeast, northern Europe, and northern Asia.

Political changes since the last ice age could make survival far more difficult for the world’s poor. During previous cooling periods, these people simply picked up and moved south, but that doesn’t work in the modem world, of closed borders. “To the extent the climate change may cause rapid and extensive changes of fortune for those who live off the land, the inability to migrate may remove one of the major safety homelands for pitiful people,” says the report.

A. People don’t live in tribes anymore.

B. Politics are changing too fast today.

C. Climate change causes people live off the land.

4What is the best title of the passage?

A. A New Ice Age.

B. The Effect of Ice Age.

【题目】A supermarket checkout operator was praised for striking a blow for modem manners and a return to the age of politeness after refusing to serve a shopper who was talking on her mobile phone. The supermarket manager was forced to apologize to the customer who complained she was told her goods would not be scanned unless she hung up her phone. Jo Clark, 46, said, I don’t know what she was playing at. I couldn't believe how rude she was. When did she have the right to give me a lecture on checkout manners? I won’t be shopping there again.”

Siobhan Freegard, founder of parenting site www.Netmums.com said, “While this checkout operator doesn't have the authority to order customers to switch off their phones, you can see clearly how frustrated and angry she felt No matter how busy you are, life is nicer when you and those around you have good manners.”
