27、atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide一氧化碳 and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive.“What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?“We shall have to take our own oxygen with us,which means a much heavier flying saucer than we planned at

28、first.“Are there any other dangers that you discovered in your studies?“Take a look at this photo.You see this dark black cloud hanging over the surface of Earth.We dont know what it is made of,but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venusian th

29、ere.Over here you will notice what seems to be a river,but the satellite findings indicate it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink.This means we shall have to carry our own water,which will add even greater weight to the saucer.“If all you say is true,wont this set back the flying saucer prog

36、eCO2in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen,while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth.“Predicting species reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology,said the researchers of several U.S.u

37、niversities.They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystems.The study,published on the Nature website,uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species

38、.It found that some experiments had underestimated低估the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times.“Across all species,the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advancefor both leafing and floweringthat results from temperature increases,the study said.The design of future experim

39、ents may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change,it said.Plants are necessary for life on the Earth.They are the base of the food chain,using photosynthesis光合作用to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water.They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every org

40、anism on the planet.Scientists believe the worlds average temperature has risen by about 0.8 since 1900,and nearly 0.2 every ten years since 1979.So far,efforts to cut emissions排放of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth from heating up beyond 2 this centurya poi

41、nt scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common,leading to drought,floods,crop failures and rising sea levels.25What is the key information the author wants to give in Paragraph 1?A.Plants reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosyst

45、an before解析:细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知B项正确。A项不能成为科学家们关注植物的原因;C项本身表述错误;D项只是气候改变造成的一种现象,不能成为引起科学家们关注的原因。答案:B28What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the worlds temperature?A.It has risen nearly 0.2 since 1979.B.Its change will lead to weather extremes.C.It is 0.8 higher in 1979 than that of 190

46、0.D.It needs to be controlled within 2 in this century.解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,到目前为止,人类在温室气体减排方面做出的努力还没有到达能控制这一危险指标的程度,我们应继续努力使全球气温在本世纪内上升不超过2度。故D项正确。根据倒数第二段中的“and.every ten years.可知A项错误;由倒数第二段可知C项在表述方面错误;B项在倒数第一段中提到,属于文中表述的事实,而非推断的内容,故不选。答案:DCIt was a village in India.The people were poor.However,they we

49、tch and hand over the money.For the first time,the people were able to dream of a better future.But the dream didnt last long.The change was hardly noticed at first,but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well.More worrying was that the children fell ill more often,and,there seemed to be mor

50、e insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldnt just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak.They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides杀虫剂and medicines.Soon there was no money left.Then the people realised what was happening.It was the frog.They had

56、lphins 海豚are not fish,but warm-blooded animals.They live in groups,and speak to each other in their own language.In this way they are like other animals,such as bees and birds.But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals.Their brain is nearly the same size as our own,and they live a

57、long lifeat least twenty or thirty years.Like some animals,dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around.They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food.We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds,but the lower part of the mouth,called the jaw.Strangely,dolphins seem to like man,and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century.In a dangerous part of t
