18、ea.Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalus nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the countrys drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. Without urgent help, the countrys days are
19、numbered.But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 24cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Marks Square, the lowest point in the city, f
20、looded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking where it stands, Tuvalus rising sea level is caused by global warming.The average global temperature has increased by almost 0. 5 centigrade degrees over the past century, and scientists expect i
21、t to rise by extra 1.3 degrees over the next 100 years.Warmer weather makes glaciers(冰川) melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen 10.25 cm in the last 100 years. Many scient
22、ists believe that if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “climate refugees“ looking for somewhere to live.24. What can we

Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the seaD. Tuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves625. Why are Tuvalu and Venice used as examples?A. becau

26、100 years.C. The warmer temperature causes the sea level to rise.D.

27、hey are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.The average temperature in a city of a million or more
28、 people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city c
29、ooler.7As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt（沥青）. It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowe
30、ring temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma（哮喘）and other breathing problems.Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will
31、also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftopsat least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees.
32、 LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.“This is an urgent challenge, and its much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. “Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day.” 28.

40、ironment of the Dubai desert is terrible for rice growth. The daytime temperatures could be as high as over 50 , and nighttime temperatures could drop by 30 . Humidity(湿度) stays below 20 percent and there are sandstorms from time to time. The biggest challenge is the desert soil, which 9is low in or
41、ganic matter and unable to keep soil moisture as it is totally sand. To make it worse, sea water remains just 7.5 meters below the soil, which makes it easy to be full of salt.With this success, the center and the private investment office of the ruler of the Emirate of Dubai plan to set up a 100-he
