Increased agriculture, deforestation, 4 ,

6、industrial production, and mining also contribute a significant 5 of emissions. In 1997, the United States 6 about onefifth of total global greenhouse gases. The 20th century“s 10 warmest years all 7 in the last 15 years of the century. Of these, 1998 was the warmest year on 8 . The snow 9 in the No

7、rthern Hemisphere and floating ice in the Arctic Ocean have decreased. Globally, sea level has 10 48 inches over the past century. Worldwide precipitation over land has increased by about one percent. The 11 of extreme rainfall events has increased throughout much of the United States. Increasing co

8、ncentrations of greenhouse gases are likely to 12 the rate of climate change. Scientists expect that the average global surface temperature could rise 14.5F (0.62.5) in the next fifty years, and 2.210F (1.45.8) in the next century, 13 significant regional variation. Evaporation will increase 14 the

9、climate warms, 15 will increase average global precipitation. Soil moisture is likely to decline in many regions, and 16 rainstorms are likely to become more frequent.

13、l, some is absorbed by vegetation, some evaporates, and the remainder, which reaches stream channels, is called runoff (径流). Floods occur when soil and vegetation cannot absorb all the water; water then runs off the land in quantities that cannot be carried in stream channels or retained in natural

14、ponds and constructed reservoirs. About 32 percent of all precipitation (雨的降落) is runoff, and this amount may be increased by melting snow masses. Periodic floods occur naturally on many rivers, forming an area known as the floodplain (涝原). These river floods often result from heavy rain, sometimes

15、combined with melting snow, which causes the rivers to overflow their banks; a flood that rises and falls rapidly with little or no advance warning is called a flash flood (暴洪). Flash floods usually result from intense rainfall over a relatively small area. Coastal areas are occasionally flooded by

16、unusually high tides induced by severe winds over ocean surfaces, or by tidal waves (海啸) caused by undersea earthquakes. Floods not only damage property and endanger the lives of humans and animals, but exert other effects as well. Rapid runoff causes soil erosion as well as sediment (沉淀物) depositio

17、n problems downstream (下游). Spawning (产卵) grounds for fish and other wildlife habitat are often destroyed. High-velocity currents increase flood damage; prolonged high floods delay traffic and interfere with drainage and economic use of lands. Bridge abutments (桥台), bank lines, sewer outfalls, and o

18、ther structures within floodways are damaged, and navigation and hydroelectric power are often impaired (侵害). Financial losses due to floods all over the world are commonly billions of dollars each year. The basic methods of flood control have been practiced since ancient times. These methods includ

19、e reforestation (再造林) and the construction of levees (防洪堤), dams, reservoirs, and floodways.（分数：6.00）(1).When it rains or snows, some of the water _.（分数：1.20）A.is absorbed by the soil and vegetationB.turns into steamC.reaches stream channelsD.all of the above(2).Which of the following statements is

20、NOT true according to the passage?（分数：1.20）A.When snow is melting, the amount of runoff will become more.B.Many rivers are flooded periodically.C.Flash flood is usually caused by earthquakes.D.Floods also destroy the spawning grounds for fish.(3).Flood does harm to us because _.（分数：1.20）A.it delays

21、traffic and interferes with drainageB.in interferes with the economic use of landsC.it endangers our lives and propertyD.all of the above(4).To control floods, people usually _.（分数：1.20）A.plant more trees and construct levees and reservoirsB.dill the ponds with rocks and stonesC.damage the floodways

22、D.get warnings in advance(5).It can be inferred that _.（分数：1.20）A.floods will not lead to the financial losses in the world because floods fertilize the soilB.floods never occur in coastal areasC.flood plain resulted from severe winds over ocean surfacesD.environmental protection is very important七、

23、Part B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Charleson Then I make a commitment to keep talking even when it might not be comfortable-in other words, to work at it. The will to talk is important to becom a better talker. I think one reason I“ve had a certain amount of success in broadcasting is that the audience can see th

24、at. I love what I“m doing. You can“t fake that. And if you try, you will fail. Rew Careful listening makes you a better talker. Good follow-up questions are the mark of a good conversationalist. I find this is always true. Actually, I have an important rule that I remind myself of every morning: not

25、hing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I“m going to learn, I have to do it by listening. Sapir The best conversationalists are capable of talking about issues and experiences beyond their own daily lives. You can expand your world through travel, but you can also do it without leaving you

26、r own back yard. The point is:people with backgrounds different from your own can help you and your thinking. Tate Anybody I“ve ever talked to for more than a few minutes knows at least two things about me: I“m from Brooklyn, New York, and I“m Chinese. That“s because I“m deeply proud of both. You sh

27、ould be as open and honest with your conversational partners as you“d want them to be with you, willing to reveal what your background is and what your likes and dislikes are. Aza One of my cardinal rules of conversation is never to stay too serious too long. Similarly, a key quality I look for in a

28、 potential guest is a sense of humor, preferably self-deprecating. Frank Sinatra“s never been afraid to make fun of himself-I think the key to his story-and most appealing to the audience-is that he so obviously enjoys retelling this joke at his own expense. Now match each of the persons with the ap

29、propriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. Be the genuine you. B. You don“t have to be quotable. C. Luck is the key. D. Attitudes counts. E. Keep it light. F.

37、cur at the same time. M: They do. It“s no possible to have one without the other since thunder is a direct result of lightning. W: Really? M: Yes. Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion and contraction of highly heated air along the path of an electrical discharge. W: In other words, lightning qui

38、ckly heats the air and causes thunder. But if the lightning is there, why can“t we see it? M: Because it sometimes occurs very high in the clouds.
