Geographers predict that climate zones could completely disappear within the next eighty years. Where will crops be grown if this happens? When the climate changes a lot, polar regions will get colder and tropical regions will get even hotter. As a result, where will animals be forced to move on the earth?Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes(飓风) will not only increase but may also become stronger. If the changes come too quickly, animals and plants may not be able to adapt(适应) right away and could disappear from the earth.According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that, by the year 2100, many of todays familiar climates will be taken place by climate unknown in todays world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of far-reaching results for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a huge tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands more died in China in another big earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was destroyed seriously and became ruins in 2010 by another big earthquake.Not long ago, scientists discovered ice melting(融化) in west Antarctica(南极洲). This is very worrying because temperatures in this area have remained rather constant(不断的) and actually even lower at time. Melting occurs when temperatures increase and since temperatures have remained, the ice should not be melting. However, satellite data(数据) shows melting around west Antarctica.Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously expected. At this point, it doesnt matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. On the other hand, our world is getting more and more unstable(不稳定) every year. Natural disasters(灾难) are becoming more frequent(频繁的) and serious.However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connections between these. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.（1）Whats the writers attitude toward the climate changes?A . We should observe the great changes of the climate carefully.B . We must connect with other planets to prevent the climate changes.C . We should try our best to do something against the climate changes.D . We need to discover what causes the climate changes first of all.（2）What does the underlined word “tropical” mean?A . cold and dryB . cool and wetC . hot and wetD . warm and dry（3）What can be inferred from the passage?A . Collecting more data will help us to solve the problem.B . The climate will be much better than we have expected.C . Earthquakes can be avoided in a few years time.D . The ice in west Antarctica will stop melting in the future.（4）Whats the passage mainly about?A . It tells us how to protect the environment of the earth.B . It talks about the bad effects of the climate changes.C . It shows us how to prevent diseases from spreading.D . It describes what we should do with the earthquakes.5. （8分） Did you see snow in your hometown last winter? Did you feel it was warmer than before?There have been 21 warm winters in China since 1986, said scientists. They also said that in the past 100 years, as the global (全球的) temperatures went up by 0.74 C , the temperature in North China has climbed 1.4 C in only 50 years.China needs to take quick action to cut carbon dioxide emission (排放) because its the main reason for global warming. The good news is that China has seen the importance of going green. China set the goal of cutting energy use by 20% and pollution emission by 10% in the 11th Five-Year Plan.Can you slow down global warming? Sure! You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is sent out into the air.Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth.Wear used clothes. Wearing your brothers, sisters or dads old T-shirt means you save the energy. Change your light bulbs (灯泡). Use energy-saving light bulbs. And dont forget to turn off the lights when you leave a room and turn off your television and computer when they are not in use!Ride the bus.
