21、DBAD 51-55DCABC 阅读理解 E In the atmosphere carbon dioxide acts rather like a one-way mirror or the glass in the roof of a greenhouse which allows the suns rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping According to a weather experts prediction， the atmosphere will be 3C warmer in the year 2050 than
22、 it is today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present rate If this warming up took place， the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt, thus raising sea level several meters and severely flooding coastal cities Also， the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the c
23、limate of the northern hemisphere， possibly resulting in an alteration of the earths chief food growing zones In the past， concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet But the weather experts are no
24、w paying more attention to West Antarctic， which may be affected by only a few degrees of warming， in other words， by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappear
25、ing The evidence available suggests that a warming has taken place This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere， where temperatures seem to be falling Scientists conclude， therefore， that up to now natural influences on the we
26、ather have gone beyond those caused by man The question is： Which natural cause has most effect on the weather One possibility is the variable behavior of the sun Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and cold spots (that is， the relatively less hot spots)on the sun As the s
27、un rotates， every 27 5 days， it presents hotter or colder faces to the earth， and different aspects to different parts of the earth This seems to have a considerable effect on the distribution of the earths atmospheric pressure，and consequently on wind circulation The sun is also changeable over a l
28、ong term：its heat output goes up and down in cycles， the latest trend being downward Scientists are now finding shared relation between models of solar weather interaction and the actual climate over many thousands of years， including the last Ice Age The problem is that the models are predicting th
29、at the world should be entering a new Ice Age and it is not One way of solving this theoretical difficulty is to assume a delay of thousands of years while the solar effects overcome the inertia(惰性 )of the earths climate If this is right， the warming effect of carbon dioxide might thus be serving as
30、 a useful opposed balance to the suns fading heat 72 It can be concluded that a concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would _ A mean a warming-up in the Arctic B raise the temperature of the earths surface C prevent the suns rays from reaching the earths surface D explain the cause of gr
31、eat changes in the climate in the northern hemisphere 73 Although the fuel consumption is greater in the northern hemisphere, temperatures there seem to be falling This is _ A mainly because the levels of carbon dioxide are rising B partly due to changes in the output of solar energy C possibly beca
32、use the ice caps in the poles are melting D only due to the effect of the inertia of the earths climate 74 On the basis of their models , scientists are of the opinion that _ A the climate of the world should be becoming cooler B the new Ice Age will be delayed by the greenhouse effect C the man mad
33、e warming effect helps to increase the solar effects D it will take thousands of years for the inertia of the earths climate to take effect 75 If the assumption about the delay of a new Ice Age is correct , _ A ice would soon cover the northern hemisphere B the greenhouse effect could work in favor
34、of the earth C the best way to overcome the cooling effect would be to bum more fuels D the increased levels of carbon dioxide could warm up the earth even more quickly 答案： 72-75 BBAB D A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but th
35、is should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. A charge ma
36、de against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think
37、, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered. There are also people who object to fairy
38、stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must s
39、ay so peculiar(奇怪的 ) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend. No fairy story ever declar
40、ed to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was. 68. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _. A. repeated without any change B. treated as a joke C. made some changes by the parent D. set in the present 69. The advantage claim
41、ed for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _. A. makes them less fearful B. develops their power of memory C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs 70. The authors mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that
42、_. A. fairy stories are still being made up B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales C. people try to modernize old fairy stories D. there is more concern for childrens fears nowadays 71. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _. A. they are full of ima
43、gination B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth C. they are not interesting D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach 答案： 68-71 CABB C Everybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigge
44、r one. Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite cross. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georg
45、ia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well. The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys. They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily. Above all, like female human beings
46、, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males. Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnans study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens (奖券 ) for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to ex
47、change pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different. In the world of monkeys， grapes are excellent goods (and much preferabl
48、e to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber.
