30、ded for large amounts四、PART 2 Reading Comp(总题数：7，分数：7.00)The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was set up in 1988 to assess information on climate change and its impact. Its Third Assessment Report predicts global temperature rises by 2100 of between 1.4C and 5.8C. Although the issue
31、of the changing climate is very complex and some changes are uncertain, temperature rises are expected to affect countries throughout the world and have a knock-on effect with sea-level rises. Scientists have argued about whether temperature rises are due to human activities or due to natural change
32、s in our environment. The IPCC announced in 2001 that “most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is likely to be attributable to human activities“. This was a more forceful statement than in 1996 when the Second Assessment Report stated that there was a “discernible human influence on the
33、climate“ which was the first time they had concluded such a link. Many experts believe the faster the climate changes, the greater the risk will be. Key points of the projections for climate change globally include that by the second half of the 21st century, wintertime rainfall in the northern mid
34、to high latitudes and Antarctica will rise, that meanwhile Australia, Central America and southern Africa are likely to see decreases in autumn precipitation, that some land areas in the tropics will see more rainfall, and that there will generally be more hot days over land areas. （分数：1.00）(1).IPCC

42、word “precipitation“ most probably refers to_.（分数：0.10）A.latitudeB.rainfallC.temperatureD.projection“What does the middleman do but add to the price of goods in the shops?“ Such remarks are aimed at the intermediate operations between manufacturers and final customers. This practice usually attracts
43、 a lot of attention from the public and the press and the operation most talked about is what is often called wholesaling. The wholesaler buys goods in large quantities from the manufacturers and sells them in smaller parcels to retailers, and for this service his selling price to the retailer is ra
44、ised several percent higher. But his job is made more difficult by retail demand not necessarily running level with manufacturers production. Because he adjusts or regulates the flow of goods by holding stock until required, he frees the manufacturer, to some extent, from the effect on production of
45、 changing demand and having to bear the whole risk. The manufacturer can then keep up a steady production flow, and the retailer has no need to hold heavy stocks, who can call on the wholesaler for supplies any time. This wholesale function is like that of a valve in a water pipe. The middleman also
46、 bears part of the risk that would otherwise fall on the manufacturer and also the retailer. The wholesaler provides a purely commercial service, for which he is too well rewarded. But the point that is missed by many people is that the wholesaler is not just someone adding to the cost of goods. It
47、is true one could eliminate the wholesaler but one would still be left with his function: that of making sure that goods find their way to the people who want them. （分数：1.00）(1).Middleman in the passage almost equals to all the following in meaning EXCEPT（分数：0.10）A.go-betweenB.intermediaryC.manufact

49、0.10）A.small parcels he sellsB.goods he buys in bulkC.the service he providesD.the information he offers(4).A middlemans work may become difficult because_.（分数：0.10）A.manufacturers run their production on a much higher levelB.market demand may not be the same as industrial productionC.retailers are not necessary in running their retailing businessD.retailers dem
