For 30 years we have been told how temperatures have been rising rapidly to unheard of levels. This is causing polar ice to melt, sea-levels to rise and has brought about adangerous increase in extreme weather events. These intense climatic changes would likely present challenges to our society and environment.
The causes of climate change are mainly anthropogenic (人为的) in nature. Since the industrial revolution, human activities have increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The increased amount of gases which absorb heat has led to more heat being kept in the atmosphere, causing global warming.
The certainty of global warming can be seen through some of the natural phenomena like the effect on crops and extreme weather conditions around the world. The most recent assessment report says that the earth’s average temperature has risen by 0. 74 degrees in the period from 1906 to 2005, and that the average temperature will continue to rise. There have also been more violent downpours, sea levels have risen and the ice at the world’s poles and on its mountains is melting. The rising sea level is flooding the low-lying countries inAsiaand small islands in the Pacific. This may lead to the displacement of millions of people, loss of millions of land and consequently billions of dollars.
Troubled by the serious situation, world leaders came together for the 2015 United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference inParis. The climate talks led to 196 countries reaching a landmark agreement that will, for the first time, commit nearly every country to lowering planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions to address global climate change. That was certainly an encouraging step forward for our earth and mankind!
As the world leaders continue to commit themselves to monitor our sick planet, we need to continue to take small steps to heal the world. We are left with not much of a choice. If only we could just pack our bags and migrate to Mars!
4. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The information of industrial revolution. B. The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. C. The reasons of climate change. D. The result of extreme weather events. 5. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. We have made great achievements. B. Some measures are still required to take. C. Mars is suitable for people’s living. D. Some countries will receive urgent aid. 6. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Long Live Planet Earth! B.Environment Changes Rapidly! C. What Serious Global Warming! D. How Important the UN Agreement Is!
7. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?
A. B.
C. D.
C
The climate change is already eating into the output of the world's agricultural systems, with productivity much lower than it would have been if humans hadn't rapidly heated the planet, new research has found.
Advances in technology, fertilizer (化肥)use and global trade have allowed food production to keep pace with an increasing global population since the 1960s. But rising temperatures in this time have acted as a handbrake (手刹) to farming productivity of crops, according to the new research, published in Nature Climate Change. Productivity has actuallyslumpedby 21% since 1961, compared to if the world hadn't been affected by global heating.
With the global population set to rise to more than 9 billion by 205, the UN'S Food and Agriculture Organization has estimated that food production will have to increase by about 70%,with annual crop production
increasing by almost 1 billion tons and meat production by more than200mtons a year by this point. Meanwhile, global temperatures are rising at a rate that scientists warn is extremely dangerous for human civilization.
“The impact already is larger than I thought it would be,” said Ariel Ortiz- Bobea, an economist atCornellUniversitywho led the research. “It was a big surprise to me. The worry I have is that research and development in agriculture takes decades to translate into higher productivity. The projected temperature increase is so fast that I don't know if we are going to keep pace with that.”
Weston Anderson, a researcher of food security (安全) and climate at Columbia University who didn't take part in the study, said the new research provides fresh insight into the importance of the impact upon agriculture.
“The regions that this paper highlights as experiencing the largest reductions in agricultural productivity-CentralAmericaand theSahel- contain some of the least food secure countries in the world, which is a real concern,” he said.
8. What does the underlined word “slumped” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Fallen. B. Gathered. C. Approached. D. Benefited. 9. What is Ariel Ortiz-Bobea worried about? A. Fertilizer is used in food production. B. Population will rise to over 9 billion. C. Global temperatures are rising too fast. D. Agricultural research needs many years. 10. What can we learn about Weston Anderson? A. He puts forward a different solution. B. He proposes carrying on with the research. C. He pays more attention to food insecure regions. D. He supports improving agricultural productivity. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The Impact of Growth in Farm Productivity B. Productivity in Agriculture is Growing C. Causes and Effects of Global Heating
D. Rapid Global Heating is Hurting Farm Productivity

When 36-year-old J Andy Duran decided to return to his favorite high school hobby—skateboarding, the only trouble he expected to have was his own ability to get back on the skateboard after such a long time. However, the 340-pound skateboarder soon realizedthatwas the least of his problems.
Duran's problems began before he even stepped on a skateboard. He couldn't find anything for fat skaters. What Duran did find was a belief that plus-size people should not be skating. Determined to do something to change the image(形象) of plus-size people in sports, Duran set up Chub Rollz—a skating and skateboarding community for overweight skaters. He knew that not only did he need to get back into it to prove people wrong, but he needed to create a safe space where others can haverepresentation as well.
To encourage plus-size people to take part in the fun sport, Duran created a list of recommended products for fat skaters. He also hosted roller skating and skateboarding classes to teach beginners.
After an article about his thoughts in the San Francisco Chronicle, Duran received lots of messages from strangers thanking him for giving them the courage to take up skateboarding. He has also been contacted by some skateboarding brands offering to create larger clothing sizes and beenoffered free equipment by skating organizations like \"Skate Like a Giri \".
Though encouraged, Duran believes a lot more needs to be done to remove body image stereotypes(刻板印象).“I want to see more changes in communities. Maybe skate shops create a more welcoming environment for all types of skaters. Or boards are made in a variety of strengths and sizes—everyone is making thinner, lighter products, but sometimes we need those heavy-duty choices to stay available,\" he explains.
For those hesitant of taking up their desired activity due to their body size, Duran has this to say:“Be kind to yourself. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean you can't be it.” 12. What does the underlined word \"that\" in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The skateboard. B. His hobby. C. His ability. D. The time. 13. Why did Duran found Chub Rollz? A. To realize his childhood dream. B. To help plus-size people lose weight. C. To fight for the equal right for fat people. D. To change people's impression of the fat in sports. 14. Which word can best describe Duran? A. Generous. B. Inspiring.
C. Adaptable. D. Talented. 15. Which is most likely Duran's belief? A. Everyone has a gift for sports. B.No one is too fat to enjoy sports. C. Fat people do deserve social concern. D. Skateboarding is most suitable for fat people. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
