Pouring downpours. Scientists have long suspected that global warming can cause extreme weather events. Now experts have numbers to support that idea.The burning of fossil fuels has been leading to a buildup of carbon dioxide in the Earths atmosphere. This CO2 is a greenhouse gas. That means it can trap heat in the air. As a result, our planets temperature has been rising. And that global warming will account for a growing share of ever more frequent extreme weather events.Many governments hope to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius above temperatures that were typical before the Industrial Revolution. It will be hard for nations to achieve that. But even if they do, global warming still will be responsible for nearly all heat extremes. Global warming also will be to blame for about 2 out of every 5 extreme rains and snowfalls. “This is a considerable fraction of major weather events，” says climate scientist Peter Stott. So far, the Earth has warmed about 0.85 degree Celsius since 1750. Thats about when the lndustrial Revolution got its start. Thats also when fossil fuel use took off, spewing (喷出) lots of CO2 into the air. Overall, the new study shows that “relatively small rises in the global temperature translate into large increases in the likelihood of extremes，” Stott says. Erich Fischer and Reto Knutti analyzed 25 different computer models of global climate. These analyses looked at different climate periods, from preindustrial times to the present. The analyses also predicted what weather events were likely to be like in the future. This period was predicted to be warmer by 2 and 3 degrees Celsius. The computer looked at when extreme heat and precipitation (降水量) occurred during each climate period. It focused on events of unusual heat or heavy precipitation. Before the Industrial Revolution, such extremes typically would have occurred only once in every 1,000 days. But since the globe has been warming, such extremes are no longer nearly as rare. These new findings provide “a global statement”， Fischer says. “You can still get the biggest heat that you have ever seen without any human changes.”1The second paragraph is mainly about _.Awhat damage global warming causedBhow global warming came into beingCwhere global warming is becoming seriousDwhy fossil fuels have to be forbidden答案：B段落大意题。根据第二段的内容可知，这一段主要阐释了全球变暖是如何形成的。故选B。2What Peter said in Para.3 suggests that _.Ait is reasonable for climate change to happenBthere is no serious effect of global warming nowCthe influence of global warming is great Dthe extreme weather happens in small numbers答案：C推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This is a considerable fraction of major weather events”可知，彼得认为这是一个相当大的数量，说明了全球变暖的影响是巨大的。3In the future, the temperature may rise at least by _ degrees Celsius.A2.5 B3 C4 D2答案：D细节理解题。结合倒数第三段最后一句“This period was predicted to be warmer by 2 and 3 degrees Celsius.”可知，未来的温度至少上升两度。4According to the passage, extreme weather _.Awill happen more often than beforeBhappens once in every 1,000 daysCstrikes every region without differencesDbecomes a rare phenomenon across the planet答案：A细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“Before the Industrial Revolution, such extremes typically would have occurred only once in every 1,000 days.”和最后一段第一句“But since the globe has been warming, such extremes are no longer nearly as rare.”可知，未来这种极端的天气会频繁发生。BMore than three billion people are at risk from indoor air pollution because of the heating or cooking fuels they use. Most live in Africa, India and China. They use biomass fuels like wood, crop waste, animal waste or coal. These solid fuels may be the least costly fuels available. But they are also a major cause of health problems and death.The Aprovecho Research Center has been designing cooking stoves for the developing world. People having less money use wood or biomassfor cooking; the richer people use oil and gas. Its been estimated that wood is running out more quickly than oil and gas. The group has made stoves using mud, bricks, sheet metal, clay, ceramics and old oil drums. Most of the stoves look like large, deep cooking pots. They have an opening at the bottom for the fire and a place on top to put a pot.In the late 1970s, Aprovecho produced a popular stove called the Lorena. The Lorena was very good at reducing smoke and warming homes. But new tests years later found that it was not very efficient. The Lorena used twice as much wood as an open fire, and took much longer to heat food. Since then, they have experimented with countless other designs.Their goal is to make a very inexpensive stovelets say five dollarsthat makes very, very little smoke, so its safe for health and global warming and deforestation (采伐森林)Aprovecho has now partnered with a stove manufacturer in China. The company is making Aprovechos first mass produced stoves. They are said to use forty to fifty percent less wood than an open fire, and produce fifty to seventyfive percent less smoke. A company called Stove Tec is selling them through its website for less than ten dollars. Dean still says that more than one hundred thousand have been sold so far. 5The underlined word “biomass” in Paragraph 2 refers to _.Aoil and gas BwoodCcoal Dcrop waste or animal waste答案：D词义猜测题。根据下文“the richer people use oil and gas”可以排除A选项。第一段介绍了发展中国家的人们使用“wood，crop waste，animal waste or coal”，而biomass所在的句子为“People having less money use wood or biom
