18、e swallowed up by the sea.Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalus nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the countrys drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. Without urgent help,

19、 the countrys days are numbered.But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 24cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Marks Square, the lowe

20、st point in the city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking where it stands, Tuvalus rising sea level is caused by global warming.The average global temperature has increased by almost 0. 5 centigrade degrees over the past century,

21、and scientists expect it to rise by extra 1.3 degrees over the next 100 years.Warmer weather makes glaciers(冰川) melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen 10.25 cm in the last

22、 100 years. Many scientists believe that if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “climate refugees“ looking for somewhere

23、to live.24. What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. drinking water in Tuvalu has been destroyedB. all Tuvalus islands are about five meters above the sea levelC. Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the seaD. Tuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves25. Why are Tuvalu and Venice use

24、d as examples?A. because they are facing the trouble caused by global warmingB. because they are both sinking into the mud on which they standC. because they are the first places sinking into the sea- 6 -D. because they will disappear in the future26. What does “climate refugees“ mean?A. Climate eff

25、ect. B. Climate changes.C. Rare animals. D. People who are forced away from their homeland by climate.27. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Tuvalus nine little islands are less than five meters above the sea level.B. The average global temperature has risen by 13 centigr

26、ade degrees over the past 100 years.C. The warmer temperature causes the sea level to rise.D. There will be huge climate changes unless the warming is stopped.CCities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees,

27、which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.The average temperature in a

28、 city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials ar

29、e going to make the city cooler.As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt（沥青）. It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And i

30、t will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with - 7 -asthma（哮喘）and other breathing problems.Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool

31、 off the city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftopsat least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the

32、temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.“This is an urgent challenge, and its much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. “Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day.” 2

33、8. Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect?A. Planting more trees in the streets.B. Covering the streets with white paint. C. Applying reflective paint to rooftops.D. Furnishing every house with air conditioners.29. What should the city officials emphasize during hot summe

34、r?A. How to make the city cooler.B. Where to wear a white shirt.C. Why to coat the roads with black paint.D. When to cut off the electricity supply.30. What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal?A. Increasing the indoor activities.B. Making life easier and more comfortable.C. Reducing the

41、rt soil, which is low in organic matter and unable to keep soil moisture as it is totally sand.
