The sun is the major source of energy for our planet. It causes the

35、evaporation(蒸发)of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food.Much of the energy that comes from the sun never reaches the earths surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that re

36、aches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the earths surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.Ma

37、ny gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the earths surface back to the earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the sun to enter but prevent energy form leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.When sunlight s

38、trikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. Dark-colored surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy.（分数：3.00）(1).According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the earth is（分数：1.00）A.the atmosphe

41、 is made use of on the earthD.greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the earths surfaceDComputer programmer David earns $40,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank to let him have a credit card.
