Part of the warming is natural; we have experienced a 20,000-year-long warming as the last ice age ended and the ice _38_ away. However, we have already reached temperatures that are in _39_ with other minimum-ice periods, so continued warming is likely not natural. We are contributing to a predicted worldwide increase in temperatures _40_ between 1 and 6 over the next 100 years. The warming will be more _41_ in some areas, less in others, and some places may even cool off. Likewise, the _42_ of this warming will be very different depending on where you are-coastal areas must worry about rising sea levels, while Siberia and northern Canada may become more habitable （宜居的） and _43_ for humans than these areas are now.The fact remains, however, that it will likely get warmer, on _44_, everywhere. Scientists are in general agreement that the warmer conditions we have been experiencing are at least in part the result of a human-induced global warming trend. Some scientists _45_ that the changes we are seeing fall within the range of random （无规律的） variation-some years are cold, others warm, and we have just had an unremarkable string of warm years _46_ but that is becoming an increasingly rare interpretation in the face of continued and increasing warm conditions.III.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. AThe iPhone, the iPad: each of Apples products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” - and many other brands are following suit. The BBCs iPlayer - which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet -used the title in 2008. A lovely bear - popular in the US and UK - that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of Londons Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.Most “i” products are targeted at （针对）young people and considering the major readers of Independents “i”, its no surprise that theyve selected this fashionable name.But its hard to see whats so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at Kings College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didnt have one clear definition（定义）,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).学校： 班级： 姓名： 考试号 密 封 线 But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.57. People use iPlayer to _.A. listen to music B. make a callC. watch TV programs online D.read newspapers58. We can infer that the Independents “i” is designed for _.A. young readers B. old readersC. fashionable women D. engineers59. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “_”.A. popular B. uncertainC. clear D. unique60. The writer suggests that _.A. “i” products are often of high qualityB. iTeddy is alive bearC. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the productsD. the popularity of “i” products may not last longBKuringai Chase National Park Guided Walks and Nature ActivitiesSUNDAY MAY 7 EASYEarly Morning Stroll in Upper Lane Cove ValleyMeet at 7:30 a.m. at the end of Day RD, Cheltenham, while the bush is alive with birdsong.Round trip: 4 hoursFRIDAY MAY 12 MEDIUMPossum prowlMeet 7:30 p.m. at Seaforth Oval carpark.
