题型：不详难度：来源：

Global surface temperatures have increased 0.6—1.2 degrees since the late 19th century. The 20th century’s 10 warmest years all happened within the last 15 years. Of these,1998 was the warmest year on record. The snow covering the Northern Hemisphere（半球）and floating ice in the Arctic Ocean decreased. Globally, sea level has risen 4—10 inches over the past century. World-wide amount of rain and snow over land has increased by about one percent. The number of major rainfall events has increased throughout much of the United States.
Increasing concentrations（集中）of greenhouse gases are likely to make climate change faster. Scientists expect that the average global surface temperature could rise 1.6—6.3 degrees by 2100，and the climate in different areas could change differently. Evaporation（蒸发）will increase as the climate warms, which will increase average global amount of rain and snow. Soil moisture（潮湿）is likely to decrease in many areas, and strong rainstorms are likely to become more frequent.Sea level is likely to rise two feet along most of the U.S coast.
Calculations of climate change for certain areas are much less able to be trusted than global ones, and it is unclear whether the climate in different areas will become more variable（变化无常的）.
64．Which of the following statements is not mentioned in the first paragraph?
A．The snow has been seen covering the Southern Hemisphere .
B．More and more major rainfall events have happened to the U.S.
C．On the whole earth, sea level has risen 4—10 inches.
D．The amount of the rain in the world has increased by about 1%.
65．According to scientists, the reason why the climate becomes warm is that________.
A．the snow covering Northern Hemisphere has decreased
B．evaporation has increased in the recent years
C．greenhouse gases concentrate increasingly
D．the floating ice in the Arctic Ocean has decreased
66．It is because______ that strong rainstorms become more frequent.
A．average global little of rain and snow increases
B．the climate becomes warm
C．soil moisture decreases
D．sea level rises two feet

四、阅读理解（本题有16小题，每小题2分，共32分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。
It’s important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us:
1. Reduce
If you want to reduce waste, you should use things wisely. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly and throw it out, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the waste.
2. Reuse
You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them out. Give your used clothes or the small ones to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.
3. Recycle
Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By doing so we save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat (压平) and melted (融化) and the metal things are made for new coke cans.
4. Recover
When you buy a box of apples, there may be few rotten apples, you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apples away, or you could cut off the rotten parts and use the good parts. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.
5. Repair
If one of the legs of your table is broken, you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones, it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair. It is true that North America is a “throw-away” society, but the time has come to change our way of life so that we can protect our environment. Every one of us should try our best.
51. The “Reduce” rule mainly requires us _______.
A. to use things wisely                          B. to cut down many trees
C. to use a lot of paper                          D. to throw away your old clothes
52. What’s the right order of recycling coke cans?
a. collect the used cans                              b. melt them
c. smash them flat                                     d. send them to a factory
A. a b c d                    B. a d c b                     C. d b c a                     D. c a b d
53. The “Recover” rule mainly requires us _______.
A. to throw waste things away                          B. to cover waste things with earth
C. to get back the useful parts                           D. to throw the whole things away
54. Which is the best way to do with your broken tables?
A. Throwing them away.                                  B. Repairing them.
C. Selling them.                                              D. Putting them away.

Water goes around and around Earth in a never ending journey called the water cycle（循环）. The sun heats up lakes, oceans, and other wet places on Earth. When the water gets warm enough, it changes into vapour. Plants also give off lots of water vapour. Some of this water vapour cools off high in the sky and becomes clouds. Then it falls back to Earth in a new place as rain or snow. This cycle happens over and over again.
The ground can absorb water like a sponge (海绵). If you could see this groundwater, it wouldn’t look like a lake or river. The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers(层) below Earth’s surface.
Groundwater moves along slowly. How slowly? Maybe 1.5 kilometres in one century. Some of this water has been underground for thousands of years. And once groundwater is pumped out of the ground from a deep well（井） by people, it may take hundreds of years for another water to take its place.
小题1:In which order does water go around Earth?

B．becda

C．caebd

D．bceda

A．be just on the ground	B．be pure water like that in a lake or river
C．exist in rocks and sand	D．flow along like rivers or streams
