27、sion (40 minutes, 40 points) Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the

28、 center. 30 Researchers said it was clear that the worlds oceans 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 understood. “Its like being blindfolded and walking toward the edge of a cliff,“ said Wallace Brocker, a prof

29、essor of environmental sciences at Columbia University. “We dont 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 freque

30、ncy over the past 110 000 years. While some of the changes have been 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 d

31、rastic temperature changes believed to be as much as 18 degrees Fahrenheit over the space of just a few years exceed any recorded in human history, they said. This was not intended to alarm the public, but that they hoped it would stimulate policy makers to prepare for the possibility of rapid tempe

32、rature flux. Greenhouse gases, emitted by fossil fuels such as oil and coal, have been linked by many researchers 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

33、拒绝 ) the treaty, saying pollution controls would be too costly for 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

34、could include regulations to reduce damage to water, air and land, 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 a

35、nd abrupt climate changes for millennial and have learned to adapt 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 chan

36、ges. 31 The passage cites “Its like being blindfolded and walking 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 s

37、ure whether ocean plays a role in causing rapid climate changes （ D） 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）

38、has experienced no rapid and sudden changes （ D） has experienced both 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 couldn

39、t afford the costs of pollution controls （ C） the U. S. government didnt want to invest in pollution controls （ D） the U. S. thought the problems of emissions only existed in developing countries 34 According to the passage, developing new financial instruments such as weather derivatives could_. （

40、A） help societies cope with abrupt climate changes （ B） reflect the risks of abrupt climate changes （ C） help prevent slow climate changes （ D） Both A and B 35 According to the author, confronted with abrupt climate changes, people should_. （ A） move indoors （ B） move away from inhospitable regions

41、（ C） develop irrigation for crops （ D） take active measures to cope with the threats posed by it 35 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

42、 the cities of the developing world. As vehicle use continues to increase 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 le

43、vel or that other nations will accept a large and growing U. S. contribution 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 l

44、ess polluting driving systems. The last of these in particular, the introduction 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 examp

45、le, reduced vehicle use could solve traffic problems and a host of social 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 ridership and carpooling (合伙用车 ) have d

46、eclined since World War II. Even in western Europe, with fuel prices averaging 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 automo

47、tive fuel economy has barely made any progress in 10 years. Alternative fuels such 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 becau

48、se oil companies are already spending billions of dollars every year to develop less 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

49、） widen the gap between the developed and developing countries （ D） impose an intolerable 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 protest its i
