22、A warmer global climate will certainly mean more than just more sweat! It may, for example, change wind and rain patterns and it may lead to rising sea levels. These changes will affect plant and animal life as well as human health. The future climate will be determined partly by how many greenhouse gases are emitted (散发). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has identified (识别) how much we can expect the climate to change. According to the IPCC, if we don t take action to limit emissions of greenhouse gases, by 2100 we can expect the mean surface temperature to increase by (1.4-58C) compared to 1990 the sea level to rise between 9 and 88 cm 5-20% more rain and snow.
The reason why scientists do not know whether the temperature will increase by a little more than one degree or up to six degrees is that, first, they do not know how many greenhouse gases will be emitted in the future, and second it is still uncertain how sensitive (敏感的) the climate on Earth is to emissions of greenhouse gases.
Moreover, the above figures are averages (平均值) for the entire planet. This means that some places may become much warmer, while others may change little, or even become cooler. But the degree of climate change that a certain country faces has little to do with how many greenhouses gases have been emitted. Greenhouse gases are well mixed with the other gases in the air. After they are emitted, they do not stay in the same place, but spread throughout the atmosphere. Once they are there they stay a long time. This is why it is not true that the biggest emitters will suffer the biggest climate changes. The most serious results of an increased greenhouse effect are just as likely to show up in places far away from where the emissions began.
【1】Global warming will lead to________.
A.higher sea levels
B.a good harvest
C.a changeable economy
D.greenhouse gases
【2】The reason for not knowing an accurate change in the temperature is that________.
A.the scientists haven’t found a way to measure it
B.the temperature is so changeable that we can not measure it
C.the scientists are not sure about the number of the greenhouse gases that will be emitted
D.there have been few changes in recent years
【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The whole planet will become warmer and warmer.
B.The mixed air will stay in the same place.
C.The biggest changes always happen in the cities which are the biggest emitters.
D.It is possible that greenhouse gases will have effects on faraway places.
23、Even if trees cannot walk, they are still on the move.
In parts of the Arctic, entire forests are moving northward. Across the Arctic, temperatures are rising faster than anywhere else in the world. As that happens, the tree line that marks where forests stop and the treeless tundra(冻原) starts has been moving northward. Trees growing along the tree line must protect themselves from the cold wind. To do this, plants tend to grow horizontal(水平的) branches low to the ground. The energy it takes for trees to grow this way means they don’t have enough energy to make seeds.
But as Earth’s climate has been warming, trees no longer have to just grow horizontally. Many can instead grow up toward the sky. This takes less energy. This happens especially in places where white spruce(白云杉) grows. White spruce, which is a North American trees, is quite able to produce a lot of seeds, which can move long distances in the wind. When wind-blown seeds end up on the tundra beyond the tree line, they finally sprout(发芽) new trees. This explains how a forest can move. Of course, the process would work only if the tundra were warm enough. But in recent years, the whole planet has been warming.
New trees will provide shelter for some snow. Keeping the sun’s rays from making the white surface disappear. Instead, the trees absorb(吸收) the sun’s heat. This warms the air around. The extra warmth encourages even more trees to produce seeds. That further increases a forest’s ability to expand(扩展). What’s more, more trees will trap more snow, preventing much of it from being blown away. Snow can trap heat in the soil below, which encourages trees to grow. The recent rise of temperatures has helped more trees grow past the tree line. People worry about effects on the animals that depend on frozen conditions for food and shelter.
【1】What is the main cause of the trees in the Arctic moving northward?
A. The reducing of northern tundra.
B. The rising temperature.
C. The cold and strong wind.
D. The rich resources in the north.
【2】What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. To produce more seeds.
B. To move northward.
C. To respond to the climate change.
D. To protect themselves from the cold wind.
【3】 What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. New trees can trap the snow, which may make the soil colder.
B. The trapped snow prevents new trees from producing more seeds.
C. New trees can make the air around warmer.
D. New trees can bring more food and shelter to local animals.
