山东省枣庄市台儿庄区2015年高考英语单项选择及阅理选练4阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。 the earth is getting warmer. over the past 100 years earths temperature rose by about 1f. scientists predict that earth will continue to warm by about 26fover the next 100 years. that may not sound like much, but think about this: during the last ice age, earth was only 9f cooler than it is today, and large sheets of ice called glaciers(冰河) covered large parts of north america! the warming of earths climate is called global warming scientists are not sure of what causes climate change. earth could be warming on its own, however, most scientists believe that human activity is speeding up the climate change. earth warms itself through a process called the greenhouse(温室) effect. when sunlight enters earths atmosphere(大气), it passes through a layer of greenhouse gases. greenhouse gases occur naturally, but humans also create them by burning fossil fuels. when sunlight hits earths surface it bounces_back toward the sky. the greenhouse gases trap some of the sunlight on earth and allow the rest to go back into space, making earths temperature warm. the process works much in the same way as a greenhouse, hence its name. if there are too many greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, too much sunlight may be trapped, making earth warmer. scientists cannot predict exactly what will happen as earths temperature rises. they believe a rapid climate change could upset the balance of the ecosystem(生态系统), causing some land and marine(海产的) life to become extinct. as temperatures rise, the worlds glaciers will melt(融化)into the ocean, causing sea levels to rise between several inches to three feet during the next 100 years. higher sea levels could cause flooding of coastal lands. warmer ocean water could cause increased storm activity on the coasts while areas away from the coasts may experience droughts. these are just a few of the possible effects of global warming.1the best title for

fuels”。因此选d。3解析：选a。推理判断题。由最后一段知，b、c、d三项都提到了，因此选a，这是气候变化的表现而非影响。4解析：选b。词义猜测题。由所在句知该短语意思是“反弹；反射”，由构词法知识可推断rebound有此义。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c和d项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 when 7-year-old warren buffett said,“i will be the richest man one day,” his friends made fun of his “daydreaming”. but ever since then the little boy has set about learning how to make money by selling drinks, delivering newspapers and buying stocks. the american had already earned $9,000 (equal to $90,000 today) by the time he graduated from high school. and this month the 78-year-old man, who earned his fortune by making a lot of sound investment in the stock market, took the place of microsoft founder, bill gates, as the worlds richest man. gates worth declined $1.5 billion to $55.5 billion in 33 days after the recent financial storm, according to forbes magazine. buffett, the only son of a stockbroker, was ready to think outside the box to develop his business from a very early age. at 8, he went to golf courses collecting and selling the used balls. at 11 when he sold soda pop door-to-door with a friend, the pair collected lids on streets to judge which flavor was the most popular. as a paper boy during high school, buffett delivered two competitor papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions, he could still make a profit from the other. with his paper delivery savings, buffett bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collected rent. young buffett stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $5. the experience taught him one of the virtues in investing, patience. after graduating from university, buffett started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. he researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. by sticking to companies such as american express and coca-cola, buffett has become rich. “learning is important to buffetts success. he is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading. he keeps learning from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. in this way, he over-achieved his aptitude (能力).” said charlie munger, his longtime business partner. 16. the passage is mainly about _.a. why buffett took the place of bill gates as the worlds richest manb. what effect buffetts childhood experiences had on his successc. how buffett earned his fortune and achieved his aptituded. what buffett dreamt about when he was a child【答案】c 【解析】主旨大意题。根据本文的几个段落分别介绍了巴菲特一生中几个阶段挣钱、创业的例子。因此可判断c为正确答案。而其他三项的内容只是文中所提到的一个方面。故选c。17. which of the following is true about buffett?a. his worth is more than $ 55.5 billion now. b. he is next to bill gates in wealth at the present time.c he achieved great success on stepping into the stock market.d he bought 162,000 square meters of farmland by selling soda pop.【答案】a【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“gates worth

prefers some inexpensive stocks.b. he will buy the stock whose price is lower than its value.c. he always borrows money from his friends to buy stocks.d. he will sell the stock if its price doesnt go up.【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段中的“he researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time.”可以确定答案，他将买股票的价格低于它的价值，故选b。19. which is the main factor
