2、Thereductionofgreenhousegasbycuttingdownfossil-fuelusewillfinallydelaythe

globalwarming.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文章在第一段最后两句话中提到：“Effbrlsloreduceman-made

emissionsofGHGsbycuttingdownonfossil-fuelusewillreduceemissionsofboththe

gases.ThereductioninC02willcutwarming,buttheconcurrentSO2cutmaymask

thateffectbycontributingtothewarming.“人为地限制使用石化燃料会减少温室气

体的排放，但是同时也会使二氧化硫减少，最终导致气候变暖，而不是延缓气候变

暖。故该句话的说法不正确。

3、Inrecentyears,scientistshavereportedthatsomeuncertainfactorsdisruptthe

climatechange.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：依据文章第二段首句话“Therearcsomanysuchfuzzyfactors—ranging

fromaerosolparticlestocloudstocosmicradiation——thatwcarelikelytoseedisruptions

offamiliarclimatepatternsformanyyearswithoutknowingwhytheyarehappeningor

whattodoaboutthem.”可知，多年来气候异常的原因还是个未知数，亩能是由于

空气中悬浮颗粒，抑或太空的辐射等诸多不明因素造成了全球变暖。

4、Scientistshopethatby2040thetemperaturewillstillbestablebythecooperation

amongsomecountries.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：C

知识点解析：文章第三刍然段中虽然提及了科学家们努力维持大气中二氧化碳的浓

度不超过规定的限度，并且到2040年温度的差异同以前相比也不是很大，但是并

未提及各国合作保持温度的稳定。故此答案为NG。

5、WcknowthatsinceIndustrialRevolutionhumanscausedthegreenhouseeffect

greatly,thusmakingthetemperaturerising.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析:文章第五段第一句话提到"Wealsoknowthatsincetheindustrial

revolutionbegan,mankind'sactionshavecontributedsignificantlytothatgreenhouse

effect.”，说明工业革命对温室效应产生了很大的作用，故此句话的说法是正潴

的。

6、Overthenextcenturythetemperaturewillbemorelikelytorisefrom

accordingtotheestimationofIPCC.

标准答案：1.4。（：105.8汽

知识点解析：文章在第六段第二句话中提到了“TheIPCChasestimatedalikelyrange

forthatincreaseof1.4℃—5.8℃overthenextcentury...”，所以此处为“1.4°Qo5.8cC”。

7、Therapidriseintemperaturewillleadtoclimatechangeswhichfinallyinturnwill

inthelongrun.

标准答案：bringforththreattotheearth

知识点解析：文章第七段首句阐述了气温的升高会导致气候的变化，接下来的两段

具体说明了其结果最终会对地球造成威胁“bringforththreattotheearth”。

8、Theoretically,peoplecanburnalloftheconventionalnaturalresourcesandcanstill

realizethegreatgoalsof.

标准答案:dealingwithclimatechange

知识点解析：根据第十二段第三句话“Intheory,wecanburnalloftheconventional

oilandnaturalgasinthegroundandstillmeetthemostambitiousgoalsfortackling

climatechange.”可以得出答案为"dealingwithclimatechange”。

9、IfagoodwaycanbefoundtotrapanddisposeoftheassociatedCO2,thereisthe

possibilityofcontinuingtousefossilfuelsas.

标准答案：themainsourcesofmodernenergy

知识点解析：由文章第十三段第一句话“Thatleavesscopeforthecontinueduseof

fossilfuelsasthemainsourceofmodernenergyifonlysomemagicalwaycanbefound

tocaptureanddisposeoftheassociatedCO2.“可知Themainsourcesofmodern

energy”为正确答案。

10、AccordingtotheMontrealProtocol,theproductionofCFCsalmoststopped,and

therearcalreadysignsthattheozonelayeris.

标准答案：onthewaytorecovery

知识点解析：由第十四段最后一句话“ThemanufactureofCFCsisnearlyphased

out,andtherearealreadysignsthattheozonelayerisonthewaytorecovery.“可知差

不多已经不产生CFCs,并且有迹象表明臭氧层正在恢复。故"onthewayto

recovery”是正确答案。

11、Newscientificdataprovethathavebeenmuchmoredevastatingthanpeople

thoughtatthetimewhentheydecidedtotakeaction.

标准答案：thethreatfromozonedepletion

知识点解析：根据文章坡后一段最后一句话“Newscientificevidenceshowsthatthe

threatfromozonedepletionhadbeenmuchdeadlierthanwasthought..."可知，臭氧层

遭到破坏所造成的威胁是毁灭性的，比人们预想的要严重得多。故"thethreatfrom

ozonedepletion”为正确答案。
