　　(2017·莆田质检)

　　As we know, the earth's climate has changed over time.The present rate of climate change depends, in large part, on human activities.Today, people all over the world are making everyday choices that help the environment.Small actions matter.In other words, climate change is your business.

　　A woman in Nicaragua buys fluorescent (荧光的) light bulbs that are 80 percent more energy­saving than traditional ones. Many

　　governments are now subsidizing energy­saving lights to encourage people

　　to turn to them.Consumers are discovering that the new­generation bulbs

　　help them save money in the long run.

　　Agriculture accounts for about 14 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions (排放) , and transporting the food around adds to the environmental cost.There is a team of young vegetable growers in the United Kingdom who want to encourage kids to start planting their own fruit and vegetables.

　　A young lawyer wearing business clothes rides her bicycle to work in a large U．S.city.She's been biking to work every day for the past two years and says it's a lot easier than many people think.A recent study shows that more Americans bike or walk to work today than before.

　　A university student from southeastern China carries a reusable shopping bag to cut back on disposable (一次性的) plastics.Some large shopkeepers have removed paper and plastic bags, and consumers are responding.

　　In Canberra, Australia, summers are hot and winters cold.To save electricity, Adam Wilson in Canberra uses an energy­saving heating system, and he keeps the temperature lower than he did in years past.He still makes it through the summer without air conditioning.

　　文章大意：气候变暖和我们每个人都息息相关。从现在做起，从我们自己做起。

　　1．The passage mainly tells us that________.

　　A.climate change is concerned with everyone

　　B.the global warming is getting worse

　　C.saving energy is of great necessity

　　D.human is to destroy the environment

　　答案：A　主旨大意题。由文章第一段最后一句话可知，环境变化与我们每个人都息息相关。

　　2．The underlined word “subsidizing” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．

　　A.charging

　　B.producing

　　C.giving allowance to

　　D.taking advantage of

　　答案：C　猜测词义题。为鼓励人们使用节能灯，许多政府对人们使用节能灯给予补助。因此画线词是“给予补助”的意思。

　　3．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

　　A.The governments don't expect consumers to use the new­generation bulbs.

　　B.Agriculture should be responsible for part of the global gas emissions.

　　C.Many people in Nicaragua go to work on foot or by bike.

　　D.University students from China always carry disposable shopping bags.

　　答案：B　细节理解题。由第三段第一句话“Agriculture accounts for about 14 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions (排放) , and transporting the food around adds to the environmental cost.”可知，B项正确；由第二段最后一句话可知，顾客们发现使用节能灯从长远看是合算的，所以A项错误；由第二段第一句话可知，Nicaragua的人们使用节能灯，没有提到步行或者骑自行车，所以C项错误；由倒数第二段第一句话可知，D选错误，只是提到一位大学生使用环保袋。

　　4．We can learn from the last paragraph that________.

　　A.the climate in Canberra is mild all the year round

　　B.an energy­saving heating system will come into use

　　C.Adam Wilson has a good habit of saving energy

　　(2017·南昌市二模)

　　“Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in atmosphere, but

　　changes in temperature, humidity and nutrient availability seem to trumped the benefits of

　　increased carbon dioxide，” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.

　　45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. The

　　researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate

　　change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.

　　“We do not yet know the mechanisms involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected，” the researchers said. “Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we can't yet quantify.”

　　The change was big in cold­blooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles smaller. An increase of 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism (新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth. There is a recent report on warmer temperatures' negative effects on plankton, the base of the marine ecosystem.

　　Warm­blooded animals weren't immune from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Mammals have been miniaturized too. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaker. And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records.

　　This is not the first time this has happened in Earth's history. 55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a long time than the current climate change.

　　The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times. So, it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in future.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇科普说明文。主要报道了一项新发现，研究人员发现了气候变暖会导致地球上许多生物个体变小的现象。

　　5．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

　　A．Why do some species become smaller?

　　B．How does temperature change in Earth's history?

　　C．Climate change has many negative effects

　　D．Species become smaller as climate warms

　　答案：D　标题概括题。通读全文及第二段首句“45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past.”可知，本文主要讲述了气候变暖会导致许多生物个体变小的现象，故D项正确。

　　6．The underlined word “trumped” in the first paragraph can be replaced by ________.

　　A．been neglected by

　　B．had strong influences than

　　C．been weakened by

　　D．been less than

　　答案：B　词义猜测题。根据本句中的but可知，划线词与其前面的内容“大气中二氧化碳的增加会使植物个体变大”是转折关系，并根据下文中气温、湿度、可利用的营养等条件对生物的影响可知，这些条件的改变似乎比二氧化碳浓度增加更有影响力。故B项正确。

　　7．Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that ________.

　　A．how climate change effects animals' size has not been found clearly

　　B．all the animals on the earth have become smaller

　　C．too many studies on animals' size have been done

　　D．people can avoid the negative effects of climate change

　　答案：A　细节理解题。文章第三段研究人员提到“We do not yet know the mechanisms involved”，其中the mechanisms指的是气候变暖影响了生物个体大小的机制，故A项正确。

　　8．What can we learn from the passage?

　　A．Climate change has even affected plankton negatively.

　　B．Birds have suffered more from climate change than fish.

　　C．Ants, bees and spiders have been shrinking by 50% to 70% in the past decade.

　　D．A warming event causing species to become smaller has never happened before.

　　答案：A　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“There is a recent report on warmer temperatures' negative effects on plankton, the base of the marine ecosystem.”可知，气候变化已经对浮游生物产生了有害影响。故A项正确。

　　9．What's the author's attitude toward climate change in the passage?

　　A．Concerned.

　　B．Optimistic.

　　C．Indifferent.

　　D．Confident.

　　答案：A　观点态度题。根据文章最后一句“So, it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in future.”可知，作者对气候变暖对生物的影响有些担忧。故A项Concerned(关心的)符合语境。
