Question

信息歸納 (本部分共5小題，每小題1分，共5分)
Scientists who study the climate (氣候) are still arguing about how fast the earth is warming and how much it will warm, but they do agree that the earth is warming and that it will keep warming if we don’t do anything about it.
Scientists agree that the burning of fossil fuels (化石燃料) like oil and coal cause greenhouse gases to escape (釋放) into the air and that these gases are causing most of the warming. Another cause is deforestation ( cutting down trees ) . Trees soak up carbon dioxide  (二氧化碳) , one of the greenhouse gases, from the air.
There are already some changes happening because of global warming. Sea level is rising and some animals are already moving to new homes. It’s already too late to stop global warming completely.
If the warming gets worse, as scientists expect, there may be some kinds of plants and animals that become extinct (滅絕的) because they can’t move to new homes. There may be more storms and floods. Sea level may rise so much that people have to move away from the coasts. Some areas may become too dry for farming.
Global warming is a very difficult problem to fix. People are having a hard time agreeing on what to do about it. For example, everyone agrees that wasting energy is a bad thing to do. But some people think that the federal government (聯(lián)邦政府) should make laws about it, while other people think it should be up to each person or business to decide what to do.
Many states and businesses in the United States are not waiting until the federal government decides what to do. They have already started working on the problem.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成下面表格中的信息。每空詞數(shù)不限。
Global warming

Causes	1. ______                 __  ; 2. _______                _  ;
Possible results	3. _______                 _  . Plants and animals become distinct. 4. _____             _   __  . People move away from coasts. Some areas become too dry for farming.
What to do	5. _______                _  .

 

Answer 1

1. Burning of fossil fuel    2. Deforestation 3. Sea level is rising and some animals are already moving to new homes
4. There are more storms and floods    5. Stop wasting energy

1和2處要求填寫全球變暖的原因。第二自然段介紹了導(dǎo)致全球變暖的兩個(gè)原因。the burning of fossil fuels (化石燃料) like oil and coal cause greenhouse gases to escape (釋放) into the air and that these gases are causing most of the warming. Another cause is deforestation ( cutting down trees ) .所以1處填寫the burning of fossil fuels；2處填寫deforestation。
3和4處要求填寫全球變暖產(chǎn)生的可能后果。第三自然段介紹了由于全球變暖已經(jīng)發(fā)生的變化，Sea level is rising and some animals are already moving to new homes.所以，3處的答案就很明了了。第四自然段介紹了氣候繼續(xù)變暖的可能后果，其中本段第二句提到There may be more storms and floods.題干當(dāng)中沒有涉及，故4處應(yīng)該填入此內(nèi)容。
5處要求填寫應(yīng)對(duì)全球變暖，需要做什么。倒數(shù)第二自然段提到：For example, everyone agrees that wasting energy is a bad thing to do. 所以，我們不應(yīng)浪費(fèi)能源，故5處可填寫Stop wasting energy。
