A
An important scientific report announced“irrefutable(不能反驳的)proof”that climate change is happening and it’s all our fault.How long has it been before people are against the global warming idea?But here’s a funny thing.Last year there was a very bad hurricane season in the Caribbean when,among other disasters,New Orleans was all but wiped off the map.We were wisely informed by the experts at the time that this was owing to global warming.
I remember watching a BBC science programme and hearing a learned professor with a beard tell us,“The increased frequency and strength of hurricanes is what we shall have to learn to expect given global warming.”
This year there have been far fewer hurricanes and those there have been were relatively mild.Why?Good old global warming again of course. Professor Bjorn Lomborg,author of The Skeptical Environmentalist,writes,“In the constant media reports of possible greenhouse-related disasters,almost any event is now linked to climate change.”He adds,“We should not spend vast amounts of money to cut a tiny slice of the global temperature increase when this leads to a poor use of resources and when we could probably use these funds far more effectively in the developing world”.For saying this,Lomborg has had death threats.
Other scientists who do not toe the global-warming-is-happening-and-it’s-all-our-fault line have received the same.There are plenty of people who count against global warming.A world of senior climatologists and meteorologists(气象学家) wrote to The Times last year to complain that they couldn’t get their research findings published—because they disagreed to it.We have had a warm autumn.The experts,fanatics(狂热者)all of them,put it down to global warming.If we have an extra cold winter,they will tell us it’s a result of global warming.If my big toe feels cold or hurts badly,it will be owing to global warming.

D.It experienced several disasters.
3.From the text,we can infer that .
A.people are taking measures to stop global warming
B.people have realized the side effects of development
C.a different idea sometimes may cost one all his life
D.the majorities usually stand for the correct opinion
4.The main idea of the last paragraph may be .

B.The Times refuses to publish articles on global warming
C.a warming autumn is not related to global warming at all
D.it is certainly incorrect to owe everything to global warming
B
One of the most ignored issues today is one that affects all life.Global warming and deforestation(森林开伐)are happening at a surprising rate,but it still seems like a foreign concept.The Earth’s temperature has been increasing,though slowly,but this is something we cannot simply reverse (逆转).All the damage we do to our Earth is permanent (永久的),and though we have already done exceptional damage,we can stop it from worsening.
This issue has not yet affected us directly,so we choose to ignore it and continue on with our everyday life.People have the need for visual evidence or proof before they decide that an issue is real,but by the time we have that evidence,it may be too late.
About one and a half acres of our most important source of oxygen is lost every second.Our life source,the rainforest, is being eliminated(根除) for our own selfish reasons.Christ will return eventually,but until then,we must take care of our home.We are trying to live on a planet that is slowly being destroyed,and soon it will be like basketball players trying to dribble(运球前进)a ball on grass and mud.For the time being,our kindness depends on the resources God has given us,and it has become like taking care of a pet.Parents will not allow a child a second dog until he shows he can take care of the first one,and God will not supply this Earth again until we show that we can be responsible and take care of it.
Showing this reality can only come with time,but time is valuable and slowly running out.Many have taken the first few steps towards saving our planet,but our only hope for survival is that all of the world will realise this before it is too late.
5.How do people react to the Earth’s environment?
A.People pay much attention to it.
B.People think little of it.
C.People haven’t felt it at all.
D.People have reduced the Earth’s temperature.
6.The author thinks that we should .
A.do less permanent damage to the Earth
B.be kind to little animals such as dogs
C.choose to ignore the environment issues
D.protect the environment as early as possible
7.The author thinks that protecting the Earth .
A.should be a self-conscious action
B.depends on the God
C.should be a forced action
D.depends on our desire
8.Why does the author think humans can realise the importance of the environment in time?
A.Because all humans think time valuable.
B.Because all humans hope to save our planet.
C.Because all humans long for survival.
D.Because humans will take steps to save the Earth.
Ⅱ.七选五
1 It makes people suffer a lot from it.Why can’t they find a cure for the common cold?The answer is easy.There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there.You never know which one you will get. 2
When a virus attacks your body,your body works hard to get rid of it. 3 You feel terrible because you can’t breathe well,but your body is actually eating the virus.Your temperature goes up and you get a fever,but the heat of your body is killing the virus.You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells.You may feel very uncomfortable,but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.
4 In China and some other countries,for example,some people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better.Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids.Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms of colds.
There is one interesting thing to note—some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you.The virus stays in your body longer because your body doesn’t have a way to fight it and kill it. 5 There is a joke,however,on taking medicine when you have a cold.It goes like this:it takes about one week to get over a cold if you don’t take medicine,but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.So you should trust the function of your body.
A.Therefore,there isn’t a cure for each one.
B.Bodies can indeed do an amazing job on their own.
C.How much do you know about the various viruses in the world?
D.Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it.
E.Different people do different things to deal with the cold.
F.The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your cold.
G.It is easy for many people to catch a cold in spring or fall.
