2014高考英语阅读理解基础精品练习题（67）及答案阅读理解we experience different forms of the suns energy every day. we can see its light and feel its warmth. the sun is the major source of energy for our planet. it causes the evaporation (蒸发) of water from the oceans and lakes. sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. these green plants then provide food for all organisms (生物) on the earth.much of the energy that comes from the sun never reaches the earths surface. it is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the earths surface. the remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the earths surface back to the earth. these gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. they are therefore called greenhouse gases.when sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. the amount reflected depends on the surface. for example, youve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. snow reflects most of the energy from the sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. dark-coloured surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air.64. according to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the earth is _.a. the atmosphere surrounding the earthb. water from oceans and lakesc. energy from the sun d. greenhouse gases in the sky65. only a small part of the suns energy reaches the earths surface because most of it is_.a. absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphereb. reflected by the gases in the upper atmospherec. lost in the upper and lower atmosphered. used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes66. we learn from the passage that _.a. all living things on the earth depend on the sun for their foodb. a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energyc. only 0.023% of the energy from the sun is made use of on the earthd. greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the earths surface参考答案64 cca 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。a ray travers sat back at the large desk, and looked around his plush（豪华的）office. he was
