Earths atmosphere acts like a greenhouse.Carbon dioxide, water vapor and other gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun.Some human activities have been shown to increase production of these gases.Recently, officials in cities like Seattle, Washington have been setting goals for carbon dioxide reduction.They are also urging people to use methods of transportation other than cars.The city of Chicago, Illinois, for example, is planting trees and creating grassy areas on building tops where plants and flowers can grow.And, the mayor of New York has announced plans to make his city the leader in reducing greenhouse gases.In all, mayors of more than three hundred American cities have said they will recognize the goals of the Kyoto Protocol.The treaty was reached nine years ago at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Kyoto, Japan.At the conference, major industrial nations agreed to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases they release into the atmosphere.The reductions are to take place between two thousand eight and two thousand twelve.The United States Senate never approved the Kyoto Protocol.The Bush administration says it supports efforts to reduce greenhouse gases as long as they are done by choice, and not required by law.Yet some local governments are making changes.One of the biggest examples is in the state of California.Earlier this year, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a law requiring reductions in the states release of greenhouse gases.The plan limits major industries, including coalburning producers of electric power, oil and gas processing centers and producers of building materials.Recently, the United States Conference of Mayors announced an agreement with the American Institute of Architects.They plan to cut in half the amount of oil, coal and gas used to build and operate buildings by two thousand ten.They then want to continue with reductions.By two thousand thirty, they want to make buildings that will completely end their use of such fuels.1What can make average temperatures slowly rising worldwide according to the text?AHeat from the sun.BGreenhouses.CEarths atmosphere.DIndustrial gases.解析: 选D. 细节理解题. 见第二段第12句: Studies have shown that average temperatures are slowly rising worldwide.Many scientists believe industrial gases are to blame.研究表明全球平均气温在日益上升；许多科学家认为工业气体应受谴责. 2What can be inferred from the text?AThe reductions by the Kyoto Protocol and mayors plans may hurt American economy.BThe reductions by the Kyoto Protocol and mayors plans may urge American economy.CMayors plan to cut in half the amount of fuels used for buildings to add reductions.DSome local governments are making changes to add reductions.解析: 选A. 推理判断题. 根据倒数第一二段分析判断: 美国参议院和布什政府反对“京都草案(the Kyoto Protocol)”；一些城市或州都计划要限制燃料、建筑等工业生产甚至减掉一半用于建筑方面的燃料. 3We can know from the text that_.Ausing cars can reduce the amount of carbon dioxideBcars can release carbon dioxideCcreating grassy areas on building tops are hardly helpful for carbon dioxide reductionDthe amount of carbon dioxide will be rising by the end of two thousand twelve解析: 选B. 细节理解题. 根据第三段第2句: They are also urging people to use methods of transportation other than cars.4Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?AFactories making electric power from water never release lots of greenhouse gases.BFactories dealing with oil and gas release few greenhouse gases.CProducers of building materials release not a bit of greenhouse gases.DBurning natural gas never releases greenhouse gases.解析: 选A. 细节理解题. 见倒数第二段最后一句: The plan limits major industries, including coalburning producers of electric power, oil and gas processing centers and producers of building materials.这个计划限制主要工业, 包括燃煤发电生产商、石油与煤气处理中心和建筑材料生产商；另见最后一段. 5What would be the best title for the text?AClimate is changingBHow climate is changingCHow officials in some American cities are fighting climate changeDWhy officials in some American cities are fighting climate change解析: 选C. 归纳标题题. 最近美国许多城市正在竞争当最绿色的城市. 这些城市正设法限制城市释放出的工业气体进入地球大气. .读写任务阅读下面的短文. 然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文. I used to watch a girl practice playing basketball from my kitchen window: she seemed so small among the crowd of boys on the playground.She would practice shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark.One day I asked her why she practiced so much.With no hesitation, she said“I want to go to college.The only way I can go is I get a scholarship.I like basketball.”Then she smiled and ran towards the court to do practice again.One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head cradled in her arms.Walking to her quietly, I asked what was wrong.“Oh, nothing”came a soft reply.“I am just too short.The coach said I would probably never get to play for a top ranked teammuch less offered a scholarshipso I should stop dreaming about college.”“So, are you kind of disappointed？”I asked her.“No.”She lifted her head from her hands, telling me that her father said those coaches were wrong.They just did not understand the power of a dream.He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good college, if she truly wanted a scholarship, nothing could stop her except one thingher own attitude.He told her again, “If the dream is big enough, the facts dont count.”【写作内容】1以约30词概括短文的内容. 2然后以约120个词就“梦想”这一主题发表看法, 包括如下要点
