Salt water is already entering the countrys drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. Without urgent help, the countrys days are

19、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.

20、looded 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, and scientists expect i

21、t 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 100 years. Many scient

22、ists believe that if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes.

26、100 years.C. The warmer temperature causes the sea level to rise.D.

27、hey 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.

28、 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 are going to make the city c

29、ooler.7As 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）.

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

31、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 temperature by planting trees.

32、 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.” 28.
