21、We know that the earth has become warmer over the last century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a group established by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Program, reports that the average surface temperature of the earth has increased during the twentieth century by 0.6°+0.2°C.(The+0.2°C means that the increase might be as small as 0.4°C or as great as 0.8°C). This may seem like a small shift, but although regional and short—term temperatures do fluctuate(变动) over a wide range, global temperatures are generally quite stable. In fact, the difference between today’s average global temperature and the average global temperature during the last Ice Age is only about 5 degrees C. Indeed, it’s warmer today around the world than at any time during the past 1,000years, and the warmest years of the previous century have occurred within the past decade.
We also know that human activities—primarily the burning of fossil fuels—have increased the greenhouse gas content of the earth’s atmosphere significantly over the same period. Carbon dioxide is one of the most important greenhouse gases, which trap heat near the planet’s surface.
The vast majority of climate researchers agree with these overall findings. The scientific disagreements that do still exist primarily concern detailed aspects of the processes that make up these largely accepted general themes.
You can think of this website as a window into the world of scientific research. In this primer, you’ll find a general discussion of the physical processes underlying the earth’s climate, an outline of the kinds of data that may shed light on how the climate is changing—and the role of human activity in these changes—and a description a some of the questions and uncertainties that researchers continue to explore. This primer is organized into four interconnected sections: the Atmosphere; the Hydrosphere(水圈); the Cryosphere(低温层); and the Biosphere(生物层).
【1】We know from the text that “IPCC”___.
A. engages in the climate and changes about the earth.
B. is a group by scientists who like to walk around the moon
C. works in the World Meteorological Organization
D. often greets the passers-by from the outer space
【2】We know from the text that carbon dioxide ___.
A. is one of the most important greenhouse gases
B. has fossil fuels
C. traps cold near the planet’s surface
D. exist in human activities
【3】From the text, we know when we say the temperature of something has increased by about 0.7+0.2°C, the+0.2°C means___.
A. the increase might by as small as 0.3°C or as great as 0.7°C
B. the increase might by as small as 0.5°C or as great as 0.8°C
C. the increase might by as small as 0.5°C or as great as 0.9°C
D. the increase might by as small as 0.4 C or as great as 0.8°C
【4】What would be the best title for this text?

23、 A gadget which makes water out of air could become the greatest household invention since the microwave.
Using the same technology as a dehumidifier (除湿器), the Water Mill is able to create a ready supply of drinking water because it can always get it from an unlimited source — the air.
The company behind the machine says not only does it offer an alternative to bottled water in developed countries, but it is a solution for the millions who face a daily water shortage.
The machine works by drawing in wet air through a filter (过滤器) and over a cooling instrument which changes it into water droplets. It can produce up to 12 liters a day. The Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over, as the amount of water which is contained in the air increases. In keeping with its eco-development, the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three lights.
Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said: “The demand for water is off the chart. So people are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable.”
The machine, which is about 3 feet wide, is likely to cost￡800 when it goes on sale here in the spring. Its maker, Canadian Firm Element Four, roughly calculates that a liter of water costs around 20p to produce.
Environmentalists state that half the world’s population will face water shortage because of climate change by 2080. One in five is said to lack access to safe drinking.
The Water Mill is not effective in areas where the amount of water contained in the air is below about 30 percent, but in Britain that won’t be much of a problem.
【1】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Water Mill. B.Invention.
C.Microwave. D.Drinking water.
【2】What do we learn about the machine?
A.It absorbs steam and turns it into water.
B.It is very expensive for families to afford.
C.It works in the same way as microwaves.
D.It helps to make the water clean to drink.
【3】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.A New Way to Solve Water Problem B.A Dehumidifier to Produce Water
C.A Machine to Make Water out of Air D.An Absolutely New Invention
24、How to describe the rising philosophy of the day ? I’d say it is data-ism . We now have the ability to gather huge amounts of data . This ability seems to carry with it certain cultural assumptions—that everything that can be measured should be measured ; that data is a transparent and reliable lens that allows us to filter out emotionalism and ideology ; that data will help us do remarkable things—like foretell the future . At the outset let me celebrate two things data does really well .
First , it’s really good at exposing when our intuitive（直觉的）view of reality is wrong . For example , nearly every person who runs for political office has an intuitive sense that they can powerfully influence their odds of winning the election if they can just raise and spend more money . But this is largely wrong .
After the 2006 election , Sean Trende constructed a graph comparing the incumbent（在任的）campaign spending advantages with their eventual victory . There was barely any relationship between more spending and a bigger victory .
Likewise , many teachers have an intuitive sense that different students have different learning styles : some are verbal and some are visual , some focus on details and some on whole . Teachers imagine they will improve outcomes if they tailor their presentations to each student . But there’s no evidence to support this either .
Second , data can clarify patterns of behavior we haven’t yet noticed . For example , I’ve always assumed people who frequently use words like “ I , ” “ me , ” and “ mine ” are probably more self-centered than people who don’t . But as James Pennebaker of the University of Texas notes in his book , The Secret Life of Pronouns , when people are feeling confident , they are focused on the task at hand , not on themselves . High-status , confident people use fewer “ I ” words , not more .
In sum , the data revolution is giving us wonderful ways to understand the present and the past . Will it transform our ability to predict and make decisions about the future ? We’ll see .
【1】What do people running for political office think they can do ?
A. Use data analysis to predict the election result .
B. Win the election if they can raise enough funds .
C. Manipulate public opinion with favorable data .
D. Increase the chances of winning by foul means .
【2】Why do many teachers favor the idea of tailoring their presentations to different students ?
A. They think students prefer flexible teaching methods .
B. They will be able to try different approaches .
C. They believe students learning styles vary .
D. They can accommodate students with special needs .
【3】What does James Pennebaker reveal in The Secret Life of Pronouns ?
A. The importance of using pronouns properly .
B. Repeated use of first-person pronouns by self-centered people .
C. Frequent use of pronouns and future tense by young people .
D. A pattern in confident people’s use of pronouns .
【4】Why is the author skeptical of the data revolution ?
A. Data may not be easily accessible .
B. Errors may occur with large data samples .
C. Data cannot always do what we imagine it can .
D. Some data may turn out to be outdated .
