18、ir greenhouse gas emissions (减少温室效应气体排放), which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years，” Laupepa told the BBC.Tuvalu has

19、 asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影响的) to rising sea levels.

24、According to a weather experts prediction, the atmosphere will be warmer in the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn fuel 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 coa

25、stal 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 manmade warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet. But the wea

26、ther 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 a

27、re 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

28、influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man. The question is: Which natural cause has the 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,

29、on the sun. This seems to have a greater effect on the distribution of the earths atmospheric pressure, and consequently on wind circulation (循环). The sun is also variable (可变的) over a long term.

31、第一段讲到二氧化碳在大气中吸收太阳的光线并阻挡热量的流失，文章第二段最后一句话又再次提到二氧化碳能使地球变热的理论。因此，答案为D项。6Although the fuel is greater in the northern part, temperatures there seem to be falling. This is _ .Amainly because the carbon dioxide is risingBpossibly because the ice caps in the poles are meltingCdue to the effect of the earths

32、 climateDpossibly due to the activity of the sun答案：D细节理解题。文章第三段提及这一现象时讲到，科学家们认为：这一现象的产生是因为到目前为止自然界对天气的影响要大于人类对天气的影响。而究竟是哪种自然力量对天气的影响最大呢？文章第四段第一句话给出了答案：其中一个可能就是太阳的活动。D项与此意相符。7What does the underlined word “exceeded” mean?ATo be the same as. BTo be slower than.CTo be better than. DTo be bigger than.答案

33、：D词义猜测题。由画线词所在句子中的“natural influences”和下一句中的“which natural cause has the most effect”及最后一段的第三句可知，自然界对天气的影响要大于人类对天气的影响。故选D项。8The article was written to explain _ .Athe greenhouse effectsBthe solar effects on the earthCthe solar weatherDthe causes affecting weather答案：D主旨大意题。全文讲述的是影响天气的诸多原因。只有D项符合题意。.短
