27、ns play a major role in queuing up rapid climate changes, but that thus far the mechanics (机制，结构 ) of such changes were poorly under stood. “Its like being blindfolded and walking toward the edge of a cliff,“ said Wallace Brocker, a professor of environmental sciences at Columbia University. “We don

28、t understand (the factors) so we dont really know what to look for.“ Using ice cores drilled from glaciers and other ice sheets, the researchers have developed a model showing world temperatures rising and falling with unsettling frequency over the past110 000 years. While some of the changes have b

29、een slow and steady, such as the end of the last Ice Age some 12 000 years ago, others have been swift and unexpected, such as the rapid warming of the North Atlantic from 1920 to 1930 and the Dust Bowl drought of the 1930s. The most drastic temperature changes believed to be as much as 18 degrees F

30、ahrenheit over the space of just a few years exceed any recorded in human history, they said This was not in tended to alarm the public, but that they hoped it would stimulate policy makers to prepare for the possibility of rapid temperature flux. Greenhouse gases, emitted by fossil fuels such as oi

31、l and coal, have been linked by many re searchers to a rise in global temperatures. A 1997 Kyoto Treaty on global warming sought to cut emissions of such gasses by developed nations, but the Bush administration this year spurned (轻蔑或傲慢地拒绝 ) the treaty, saying pollution controls would be too costly f

32、or the U.S. economy. The NAS panel called for research to identify what it described as “no-regrets“ measures that would cost relatively little and would be good policies regardless of the extent of environmental change. Such measures could include regulations to reduce damage to water, air and land

33、, or slow climate change, or helping societies cope with abrupt climate changes by developing new financial instruments such as weather derivatives (衍生证券 ) and catastrophe bonds to reflect the risks. Societies have faced both gradual and abrupt climate changes for millennial and have learned to adap

34、t through various mechanisms, such as moving indoors, developing irrigation for crops, and migrating away from inhospitable (不适宜居住的 ) regions. It is important not to be fatalistic (宿命论的 ) about the threats posed by abrupt climate changes. 31 The passage cites “Its like being blindfolded and walking

35、toward the edge of a cliff,“ (Para.2) in order to show that_. （ A） so far we are still almost ignorant of the mechanics of rapid climate changes （ B） now we are still causing serious damages to the environment （ C） we are still not sure whether ocean plays a role in causing rapid climate changes （ D

36、） so far we are still unaware of the possibility of rapid climate changes 32 According to the passage, over the past 110 000 years, world temperature . （ A） has been keeping rising （ B） has risen and fallen at regular intervals （ C） has experienced no rapid and sudden changes （ D） has experienced bo

37、th smooth and abrupt changes 33 The Bush administration spurned the 1997 Kyoto Treaty on global warming because . （ A） the U.S. has already minimized its emissions of greenhouse gases （ B） the U.S. economy was depressing and couldnt afford the costs of pollution controls （ C） the U.S. government did

40、th the threats posed by it 36 Cars account for half the oil consumed in the U.S. , about half the urban pollution and one fourth the greenhouse gases. They take a similar toll (损 耗 ) of resources in other industrial nations and in the cities of the developing world As vehicle use continues to increa

41、se in the coming decade, the U.S. and other countries will have to deal with these issues or else face unacceptable economic, health-related and political costs. It is unlikely that oil prices will remain at their current low level or that other nations will accept a large and growing U. S. contribu

42、tion to global climatic change. Policymakers and industry have four options: reduce vehicle use, increase the efficiency and reduce the emissions of conventional gasoline-powered vehicles, switch to less harmful fuels, or find less polluting driving systems. The last of these in particular, the intr

43、oduction of vehicles powered by electricity-is ultimately the only sustainable (可持续的 ) option The other alternatives are attractive in theory but in practice are either impractical or offer only marginal improvements. For example, reduced vehicle use could solve traffic problems and a host of social

44、 and environmental problems, but evidence from around the world suggests that it is very difficult to make people give up their cars to any significant extent. In the U.S. mass-transit rider ship and carpooling (合伙用车 ) have declined since World War . Even in western Europe, with fuel prices averagin

45、g more than 1 a liter (about 4 a gallon) and with easily accessible mass transit and dense populations, cars still account for 80 percent of all passenger travel. Improved energy efficiency is also appealing, but automotive fuel economy has barely made any progress in 10 years. Alternative fuels suc

46、h as natural gas, burned in internal-combustion engines, could be introduced at relatively low cost, but they would lead to only marginal (边缘的最低限度的 ) reductions in pollution and greenhouse emissions (especially because oil companies are already spending billions of dollars every year to develop less

47、 polluting types of gasoline). 36 From the passage we know that the increased use of cars will_. （ A） consume half of the oil produced in the world （ B） have serious consequences for the well-being of all nations （ C） widen the gap between the developed and developing countries （ D） impose an intole

48、rable economic burden on residents of large cities 37 The U.S. has to deal with the problems arising from vehicle use because_. （ A） most Americans are reluctant to switch to public transportation systems （ B） the present level of oil prices is considered unacceptable （ C） other countries will prote

49、st its increasing greenhouse emissions （ D） it should take a lead in conserving natural resources 38 Which of the following is the best solution to the problems mentioned in the passage? （ A） The designing of highly efficient car engines. （ B） A reduction of vehicle use in cities. （ C） The development of electric cars. （ D） The use of less polluting fuels. 39 Which of the following is practi
