That problem will be felt most acutely in cities.The worlds rapidly growing population coupled with the urban “heat island” effect, which can make cities up to 7.8 warmer than the countryside, adds up to a recipe for dangerous and potentially deadly heat.Currently, about 54 percent of the worlds population lives in cities, and by 2050 the urban population is expected to have grown by 2.5 billion people. As those cities get hotter, weather patterns may shift and make extreme heat even more mon. That will, in turn, threaten public health and the economy.Under the high-pollution situation, currently mild Ottawa, Canada could have the tropical climate of Belize City by 2100. Mountainous Kabul, Afghanistan could feel like coastal Colombo, India. Already hot Cairo, Egypt could feel like its sweltering (闷热的) neighbor, Abu Dhabi.The average land temperature is projected to rise 4.8, but due to the differences in geography, some cities will warm much more. Sofia, Bulgaria is predicted to have the biggest overall temperature shift, with temperatures rising nearly 8.4 by 2100. That would make its summers more like in Egypt.The average summer temperature in Khartoum, Sudan is projected to skyrocket to 44.1 if carbon pollution continues to be unchecked. That shift emphasizes that unless carbon pollution is limited, the planet could be headed toward a state that humans have never experienced.Dealing with less extreme heat makes adaptation easier and less expensive, and given that choice, perhaps its no surprise cities are leading the charge on climate change. They face the worst impacts of extreme heat and are home to billions. Thats why thousands of mayors from around the world have banded together and promised to reduce their emissions. That includes lots of U.S. cities mitting to meet the Paris Agreement goals after President Trump announced he was pulling the U.S. out of the agreement.7. What may happen by the end of the century according to the passage?A. Carbon pollution will be worse and worse.B. The worlds population living in cities will decline.C. The temperature in cities will be too high to bear in summer.D. The economy and population will be impacted severely by pollution.8. Which city mentioned in the passage will have the greatest climate change?A. Ottawa, Canada. B. Sofia, Bulgaria.C. Khartoum, Sudan. D. Kabul, Afghanistan9. The underlined word “skyrocket” in the sixth paragraph probably means “ ”.A. rise rapidly. B. change graduallyC. reverse pletely D. drop naturally10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Dealing with the climate problems right now is hard and expensive.B. Officials are unwilling to deal with climate change.C. Extreme heat will have no impact on the climate in the countryside.D. Many U.S. cities are dealing with climate problems actively.【答案】7. C 8. B 9. A 10. D【解析】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过一些实际例子说明了城市气温不断上涨的现状，分析了其原因和人们采取的应对措施。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段Summers around the world are already warmer than they used to be, and they are going to get dramatically hotter by the centurys end if carbon pollution continues to rise.和第二段make cities up to 7.8 warmer than the countryside, adds up to a recipe for dangerous and potentially deadly heat.可知随着各种因素的影响，城市温度不断上涨，可能会导致了危险和致命的高温。因此推断到本世纪末城市的气温会很高以至于无法人数。故选C.【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段Sofia, Bulgaria is predicted to have the biggest overall temperature shift, with temperatures rising nearly 8.4 by 2100. That would make its summers more like in Egypt.可知保加利亚索非亚,预计有最大的整体温度转变, 到2100年气温将上升8.4。故选B.【9题详解】猜测词义题。此处指如果碳污染继续无节制的发展，夏天的平均温度在喀土穆,苏丹将飙升至44.1。与上文dramatically hotter和deadly heat意思一致，指温度上涨。“skyrocket”飞涨，上涨，与rise rapidly同义，故选A.【10题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段That includes lots of U.S. cities mitting to meet the Paris Agreement goals after President Trump announced he was pulling the U.S. out of the agreement.可知美国的一些城市都在积极应对气候问题。故选D.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。How to Pick a Good BookIts not news that we spend more time texting and surfing online than ever.
