  In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide allows the sun’s rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping.According to a weather expert’s prediction, the atmosphere will be warmer in the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present rate.If this warming up took place, the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt, thus raising sea level several meters and severely flooding coastal cities.Also, the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere.

  In the past, concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet.But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic, which may be affected by only a few degrees of warming, in other words, by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels.Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing.The evidence suggests that a warming has taken place.This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.

  However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern part of the earth, where temperatures seem to be falling.Scientists conclude, therefore, that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man.The question is:Which natural cause has most effect on the weather?

  One possibility is the behavior of the sun.Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and “cold” spots, that is, the relatively less hot spots, on the sun.This seems to have a greater effect on the distribution of the earth’s atmospheric pressure, and consequently on wind circulation(循环).The sun is also variable(可变的)over a long term.Its heat output(输出)goes up and down in cycles.The latest trend being downward is on the way.But that is only a imagination.

(1)

The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would _________.

[  ]

A.

prevent the sun’s rays from reaching the earth’s surface

B.

mean a warming up in the Arctic

C.

account for great changes in the climate

D.

raise the temperature of the earth’s surface

(2)

The article was written to explain _________.

[  ]

A.

the greenhouse effect

B.

the solar effects on the earth

C.

the solar weather

D.

the causes affecting weather

(3)

Although the fuel is greater in the northern part, temperatures there seem to be falling.This is _________.

[  ]

A.

mainly because the carbon dioxide is rising

B.

possibly because the ice caps in the poles are melting

C.

due to the effect of the earth’s climate

D.

partly due to the activity of the sun

(4)

What does the underlined word exceeded mean?

[  ]

A.

To be the same as.

B.

To be slower than.

C.

To be better than.

D.

To be bigger than.

For most of the day construction worker Sidney Smith and his brother – in – law Joseph Chambers had been   21  along the banks of Lake Waco with little   22 . Chambers suggested they go home, but Smith 33  that there were still several hours of daylight 24  and there was one other place they might try a bit longer before  25 .
Smith drove his pickup(小货车)a couple of miles along the 26 road to get to the other side of the lake. This road, in the truest sense, was a path wagging in the heavy 27 area. Even with the sun still high in the cloudless sky, the 28 of trees formed a leafy 29 over the road and it suddenly seemed  30 in the evening.
“A guy could get lost and nobody would ever find him,” said Chambers.
Smith smiled, “We’re 31 there.” He said. A few seconds later, the smile was  32  from his face.
“What the hell is that?”
  He braked to a stop. Less than twenty feet away was what appeared to be a  33 .
  For several minutes the two men sat in the pickup 34 to decide whether they had happened to 35 someone’s bad practical joke or something far more serious. Smith with his brother-in-law got out of the pickup and  36 walked towards that thing some distance before them.
It was a young man who was already dead. They had got to tell 37 . Back into the pickup, Smith backed the pickup down the road 38 he could turn around, then 39 back. With the dead young man still on his mind, Smith felt as if he was going to be sick. God, how he 40  they had given up fishing and gone home early.
