Increased agriculture, deforestation, 4 ,
6、industrial production, and mining also contribute a significant 5 of emissions. In 1997, the United States 6 about onefifth of total global greenhouse gases.

Worldwide precipitation over land has increased by about one percent. The 11 of extreme rainfall events has increased throughout much of the United States. Increasing co

13、l, some is absorbed by vegetation, some evaporates, and the remainder, which reaches stream channels, is called runoff (径流). Floods occur when soil and vegetation cannot absorb all the water; water then runs off the land in quantities that cannot be carried in stream channels or retained in natural
14、ponds and constructed reservoirs. About 32 percent of all precipitation (雨的降落) is runoff, and this amount may be increased by melting snow masses. Periodic floods occur naturally on many rivers, forming an area known as the floodplain (涝原). These river floods often result from heavy rain, sometimes
15、combined with melting snow, which causes the rivers to overflow their banks; a flood that rises and falls rapidly with little or no advance warning is called a flash flood (暴洪). Flash floods usually result from intense rainfall over a relatively small area. Coastal areas are occasionally flooded by
16、unusually high tides induced by severe winds over ocean surfaces, or by tidal waves (海啸) caused by undersea earthquakes. Floods not only damage property and endanger the lives of humans and animals, but exert other effects as well. Rapid runoff causes soil erosion as well as sediment (沉淀物) depositio
17、n problems downstream (下游). Spawning (产卵) grounds for fish and other wildlife habitat are often destroyed. High-velocity currents increase flood damage; prolonged high floods delay traffic and interfere with drainage and economic use of lands. Bridge abutments (桥台), bank lines, sewer outfalls, and o
18、ther structures within floodways are damaged, and navigation and hydroelectric power are often impaired (侵害). Financial losses due to floods all over the world are commonly billions of dollars each year. The basic methods of flood control have been practiced since ancient times. These methods includ

23、Part B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Charleson Then I make a commitment to keep talking even when it might not be comfortable-in other words, to work at it. The will to talk is important to becom a better talker. I think one reason I“ve had a certain amount of success in broadcasting is that the audience can see th
24、at. I love what I“m doing. You can“t fake that. And if you try, you will fail. Rew Careful listening makes you a better talker. Good follow-up questions are the mark of a good conversationalist. I find this is always true. Actually, I have an important rule that I remind myself of every morning: not
25、hing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I“m going to learn, I have to do it by listening. Sapir The best conversationalists are capable of talking about issues and experiences beyond their own daily lives. You can expand your world through travel, but you can also do it without leaving you
26、r own back yard. The point is:people with backgrounds different from your own can help you and your thinking. Tate Anybody I“ve ever talked to for more than a few minutes knows at least two things about me: I“m from Brooklyn, New York, and I“m Chinese. That“s because I“m deeply proud of both. You sh
27、ould be as open and honest with your conversational partners as you“d want them to be with you, willing to reveal what your background is and what your likes and dislikes are. Aza One of my cardinal rules of conversation is never to stay too serious too long. Similarly, a key quality I look for in a
28、 potential guest is a sense of humor, preferably self-deprecating. Frank Sinatra“s never been afraid to make fun of himself-I think the key to his story-and most appealing to the audience-is that he so obviously enjoys retelling this joke at his own expense.
