A

The scene in the Hollywood movie The Day After Tomorrow, when global warming could soon turn the global climate(气候) into a new ice age, may never occur，according to new research.

The next ice age could be 15,000 years away, say European scientists who last month announced a continuous record of 740,000 years of climate data obtained from the Antarctic ice.

Scientists  from  10  nations  have  now  almost completely drilled through a 3,000－metre depth of ice high in the Antarctic mainland. They figure out that the area where summer temperatures can fall to －40℃， has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls，kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree. And the ice and air caught in each layer(层) have begun to answer questions about the climates in the past.

The results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740,000 years and eight warmer periods. And by comparing the pattern of global conditions today with those of the past, the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15,000 years.

Research suggests that there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temperatures. It also shows that carbon dioxide levels are the highest for at least 440,000 years.

 “If people say to you: the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into an ice age otherwise，our data say no，a new ice age is not hanging over our heads，” said Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey. “Now we have eight examples of how the climate goes in and out of ice ages ...and you can learn what the rules are that tell us about the future.”

Scientists found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record, so did carbon dioxide level. “In 440,000 years we have never seen greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today，” said Dr Wolff.

21．In drilling through the ice in Antarctica, scientists  have found that ________.

   A．the lowest temperature there is －40℃

   B．the depth of ice is 3,000 metres

   C．the ice has existed for 15,000 years

   D．snowfalls are kept in certain patterns

22．We can infer from Eric Wolff's words that ______.

  A．there is something wrong with the data

  B．greenhouse effect is always a bad thing

  C．a new ice age will not come in the near future

  D．greenhouse gas will get thick in the future

23．What would be the best title for the passage?

  A．Research over the Antarctic area.

  B．Warm period to last about 15,000 years.

  C．Report on the eight ice ages in the past.

  D．Hollywood movies and the global climate.

B

Going green seems to be a fad(时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad，we can't really say，but for the two of us，going green is not a fad but a life－style.

On April 22,2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things，and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy，we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.

With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.

Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic(有机的) stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home－made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.

Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

24．What might be the best title for the passage?

  A．Going Green

  B．Protecting the Planet

  C．Keeping Open－Minded

  D．Celebrating Our Green Year

25．It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for  the whole year because ________.

  A．they were expected to follow the green fad

  B．they didn't know how to educate other people

  C．they were unwilling to reduce their energy

  D．they needed to perform unusual green tasks

26．What did the couple do over the course of Our   Green Year?

  A．They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.

  B．They ignored others' ungreen behavior.

  C．They chose better chemical cleaners.

  D．They sold their home－made food.

27．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

  A．The government will give support to the green project.

  B．The couple may continue their project in the future.

  C．Some people disagree with the couple's green ideas.

  D．Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.

三、阅读理解

【答案与解析】

21．D细节理解题。第三段中“They figure out that the  area where summer temperatures can fall to －40℃， has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls，kept as neatly  as the growth rings of a tree.”说明科学家们发现，积雪保持着一定的模式。

22．C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段艾瑞克•沃尔夫说的“...a new ice age is not hanging over our heads ...”可判断出，他认为新的冰川时代不会很快到来。

23．B主旨大意题。阅读全文可知，本文主要叙述了作者对全球气候变化的观点以及对温室效应的态度。D项明显偏离主题，可排除；A项过于泛泛，没有提及气候问题；C项只是文章内容的一个侧面；只有B项适合用作标题。

【答案与解析】

本文为记叙文。2011年4月22日，“我们”夫妻二人决定每天都追求一种绿色的生活方式，并且要坚持一整年。这意味着“我们”要做365件“绿色的”事情，这对“我们”来说是个挑战。最后，“绿色之年”改变了“我们”的思维，“我们”很感激有这个机会，也坚信“我们”确实有能力保护我们的地球。

24．A主旨大意题。概括文章大意可知，文章主要介绍了我们夫妻二人追求绿色生活方式的行为。在本文中going green为关键词，可概括文章主旨。B项概括范围过大；C项意为“保持思维开放”，曲解了文章主旨；D项意为“庆祝我们的绿色之年”，概括范围过小。

25．D推理判断题。根据第二段的最后两句可知，整整一年都要过绿色的生活，不是件容易的事情，因为这不仅意味着要做365件不同的“绿色的”事情，还意味着除了一些简单的事情，我们还要不断地挑战自己，追求环保。这些都是不寻常的(unusual)环保任务，D项与之意思一致。文章并未提及其他几项内容。

26．A细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，在这一年里，我们完全改变了生活方式，做每一件事都追求环保、绿色，否则就要接受惩罚，所以A项正确。B项意为“他们无视他人不环保的行为”，与倒数第二段最后一句矛盾；C项意为“他们选择更好的化学清洁剂”，与倒数第二段的“Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners.”表达意思不一致；D项意为“他们出售自制的食品”，与倒数第二段的倒数第二句不一致。

27．B推理判断题。最后一段指出，我们的思维已经发生了变化，我们坚信自己有能力改变一些事情，保护我们的地球，由此可知，我们会继续自己的这种绿色生活方式。故B项正确。文章并未提到“政府会支持这个绿色计划”“有人和这对夫妻持有不同观点”或者“绿色之年正成为一项全国性活动”，故排除其余选项。

三、完形填空

【答案与解析】为削减全球6种温室气体的排放量，许多国家签署了《京都议定书》。2002年包括中国在内的104个国家接受了《京都议定书》。

28．B由and前的句子可知极地的冰原和高山的冰川正在融化。由此带来的后果应是地球面临着被洪水淹没(flooding)，而不是snowing(降雪)，watering(浇水)和raining(下雨)。

29．A地球面临着被淹没的危险，这是一种特殊的灾难。因此本题应选择catastrophe(灾难)。luck“运气”；movement“运动”；existence“存在”。

30. D由该段首句中的“The ice sheets in the poles ...are  melting”可知此处应选择melting，表示“假如冰盖真的融化了，那该怎么办？”。

31．A “据上周一发布的一项科学研究”。according  to ...“根据……”，为固定搭配；look forward to“盼望着”；used to“过去常常”； see to“处理，照管”。

32．D renew“再生”；manage“设法”；await“等待”；disappear“消失”。本文谈论冰盖融化，最后的结果应是北极冰盖的消失，应选disappear。

33．B从unless看出，此处是否定的假设。increase“增加”；reduce“减少”；die“死亡”；raise“抬起”。北极冰盖的消失应在二氧化碳排放量不能大幅度下降的前提下。

34．B size“大小，尺寸”；temperature“温度”；length“长度”；weight“重量”。由下文的“rise seven degrees centigrade”可知此处谈论的是温度。

35．C到2100年，北极有可能上升7摄氏度。special“特殊的”；normal“正常的”； average“平均的”；abstract“抽象的”。此处表示北极温度正在以全球平均气温2倍的速度上升。

36．A介词by表示升降的程度。句意为：“冰盖融化将导致全球海平面上升1米”。

37．C  force sb.to do sth.“逼迫某人做某事”。

38．D pattern“样品”；modal“形式”；style“风格”；example“例子，实例”。北极熊是可能在本世纪末灭绝的极地动物中的一个例子。

39．A从on the positive side看出，此处是转折关系。but表示转折关系；and表示并列关系；so表示因果关系；or表示逆向假设关系。

40．B现在冰盖并没有完全融化，海平面正在逐渐上升，新的渔场、油气资源等的开辟还没有展开，因此应用一般将来时。

41．B发达国家正在进行另外一项实验。carry forward“发扬；推进；结转”；carry out“开展，实现”；carry on“继续开展”； carry about“随身携带”。

42．C sky“天空”；weather“天气”；climate“气候”；atmosphere“大气”。此处指长期的天气现象——气候。

43．A  accept“接受”；receive“收到”；get“得到”；push“推；按”。此处表示俄罗斯接受(签署)了《京都议定书》。

44．B而世界最大的污染国美国却拒绝加入该协议。从but推断出美国和俄罗斯的行为是相反的。

45．D为削减全球6种温室气体的排放量，许多国家签署了《京都议定书》。2002年包括中国在内的104个国家接受了《京都议定书》。B、C两项意义相同，故排除；as well“也”，后不接宾语。故选D项。

46．A study“研究”；learning“学习”；knowledge“知识”；understanding“理解”。许多国家发起的应是对气候变化的研究。

47．D句意为：“全球近30%的二氧化碳排放量来源于美、加等发达国家”。who引导一个非限制性定语从句。从句中缺少主语，四个选项中，只有who可以作主语。
