浙江省丽水市2014高考英语阅读理解（暑假）训练（12）及答案tuvalu, north of fiji, is a tiny country in the pacific ocean.storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of tuvalus nine little islands is more than five metres above sea level. salt water is already entering the countrys drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea. without urgent help, the countrys days are numbered.but tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. venice, a historic city in italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24cm over the past 100 years. experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050.a century ago, st. marks square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine time a year. nowdays it happens more than 100 times.while venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, tuvalus rising sea level is caused by global warming.the average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degree over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by an extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years.warmer weather makes glaciers（冰川） melt, adding more water to the ocean. the warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it take up more space, causing the sea level to rise. the sea level has risen about 10-25cm in the last 100 years.people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as co2, through burning coal, oil and gas. this adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. the sea level could rise by one metre this century.should this come true, millions of homes would be swallowed up by the sea and the world will be flooded with climate refugees looking for somewhere else to live.17we can infer from paragraph 2 that .atuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the seaball tuvalu islands are about five meters above the sea levelcdrinking water in tuvalu has been destroyeddtuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves18the author uses tuvalu and venice as examples in order to explain . ait is first places sinking into the seabit is sinking into the mud where they standcit will disappear in the futuredits trouble is caused by global warming19what does the underlined word refugees (in the last paragraph)mean?apeople forced away from their homelandbsudden changes caused by world climatecanimals closely connected with weatherdbad effect of climate changes20which of the following is not true according to the text?athe main cause of global warming is human pollutionbthe average global temperature has risen by 1-3 over the past century.cthe warmer temperature causes the sea level to risedthere will be huge climate changes unless the warming is stopped 1720 adab *结束阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。ait was a cold day in december in now york city. a little boy about ten years old was standing before a shoe store on broadawy, barefooted, peering（端祥，仔细看）through the window, and shaking with cold. a lady approached the boy and said, “my little fellow, why are you looking so earnestly in that window?” “i was asking god to give me a pair of shoes.” was the boys reply.the lady took him by the hand and went into the store, and asked the clerk to get a half dozen pairs of socks for the boy. she then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. the clerk quickly brought them to her. she took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel. by this time the clerk had returned with the socks. placing a pair upon the boys feet, she then purchased him a pair of shoes, and tying up the remaining pairs of socks, gave them to the boy. she patted him on the head and said: no doubt, my little fellow, you feel more comfortable now? as she turned to go, the astonished lad caught her by the hand, and looking up in her face, with tears in his eyes, answered the question with these words: are you gods wife? 1we can infer from the text that .athe boy asked god to give him a pair of socksbthe woman was a caring and loving ladycthe clerk was very kind-hearteddthe little boy was the womans son2which of the following statements is right according to the passage?athe lody bought the boy a pair of shoes before getting socks.bthe clerk washed the boys feet.cthe boy was very thankful to the lady.dthe boy shook with fear.3the underlined word “lad” in paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to .aclerkbboycladydgods wife13、 bcb*结束bonce i saw a sign hanging in a classroom that read, “your mother doesnt work here-clean up your own mess.” there must be a reason why such a sign was every created. your child is never too young for housework.from the time your child can walk and understand basic commands you can start teaching the fine art of putting things away. put your cup on the table for mommy. younger children are capable of helping feed the pets, putting clothes away and can certainly find the toy box to pick up after playing. other areas younger children may be able to help with include bringing their own laundry basket into their room and cleaning countertops with paper towels. youll find that children really want to help. they feel grown up and special helping mommy and daddy.as the children age, youll need to increase their responsibilities. by the time they are five they should be able to help quite a bit in the kitchen. they can help mix baking items;
