　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　There is no doubt that certain regions of the United States experienced extremely cold temperatures this winter. But, as any climate scientist will tell you, that’s no reason to doubt the overwhelming(强大的) evidence about climate change.

　　Weather is to climate as mood is to personality. Just as you don’t change your opinion of a generally good friend because she had a rough day and behaved poorly during lunch, you shouldn’t ignore climate change because of some cold weather and snowstorms. Here are four things to consider about the recent cold weather and climate change.

　　While parts of the United States were suffering through freezing temperatures, the Earth as a whole had its 4th warmest January on record. Australia went through a massive heat wave in the beginning of 2017, with temperatures above 120 ; it was over 60  in parts of Europe on Christmas Day; and Russia had its warmest November-December since record keeping began in 1900. Even in the United States, Alaska and the Rocky Mountains were unusually warm this winter, and California set the record for warmest winter ever recorded.

　　The wintertime warming trend is most obvious in some of the coldest areas of the country, such as the Northeast and Upper Midwest. But for many cities, including New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, winter temperatures ranked in the middle of the range of historical winters.

　　More snow is also an indication of climate change. It is scientifically expected that a warmer atmosphere holds more moisture (湿气), and more moisture means more rainfall. If temperatures drop below freezing, this means more snow. Several cities nationwide set snowfall records this winter.

　　Research teams are starting to connect the dots (分布图) between a warming Arctic and cold winters in the United States. While it is still too early for scientists to reach an agreement about this link, it is guessed that melting sea ice in the Arctic can weaken the jet stream, allowing for cold Arctic air to go into the mid-latitudes.

　　Unfortunately climate change is very real, and we need to take measures sooner rather than later to slow it down and prevent terrible warming in the long-term. Or we won’t have a snowball’s chance in a very warm place.

　　1. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. Reasons for the climate still changing.

　　B. Measures to control climate change.

　　C. Examples for the world temperatures.

　　D. Warm places spreading over the world.

　　2. When your best friend is not in his normal state ________.

　　A. you will change your view on him forever

　　B. you won’t get in touch with him forever

　　C. you won’t have a different view towards him

　　D. you will send him to see a doctor at once

　　3. We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.

　　A. the whole of United States had a cold winter in 2017

　　B. Australia suffered great disasters at the beginning of 2017

　　C. California turned into the warmest place in the USA

　　D. many places have been influenced by climate change

　　4. What can we know according to the passage?

　　A. More snow means the reduction of climate change.

　　B. The melting sea ice will have some effect on the earth.

　　C. Some scientists don’t believe there is climate change.

　　D. No one decided to take measures to control climate change.
