It happens when greenhouse gases -carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide(二氧化氮), and methane(沼气) trap heat and light from the sun in the earths atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a very hot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows, but it cant get back out. Once the light is inside the car, it is trapped and the heat builds up, just like it does in the earths atmosphere. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth. The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it cant get out. As a result, the temperature rises. Sometimes the temperature can change in a way that helps us. The greenhouse effect makes the earth appropriate for people to live on. Without it, the earth would be freezing, or on the other hand it would be burning hot. We would not get the suns heat and light to make the night somewhat warm. During the day, especially during the summer, it would be burning because the sun would be up with no atmosphere to filter(过滤) it, so people, plants, and animals would be exposed to all the light and heat. Although the greenhouse effect makes the earth able to have people living on it, if there gets to be too many gases, the earth can get unusually warmer, and many plants, animals, and people will die. They would die because there would be less food(plants like corn, wheat, and other vegetables and fruits). This would happen because the plants would not be able to take in the heat. This would cause us to have less food to eat, but it would also limit the food that animals have. Gradually, people, plants, and animals would all die of hunger. People are doing many things to try stop global warming. One thing people are doing is carpooling. Carpooling is driving with someone to a place that you are both going to. This minimizes the amount of greenhouse gases put into the air by a car. Another thing that people are doing is being more careful about leaving things turned on like the television, computer, and the lights. A lot of people are taking time away from the television, and instead, they are spending more time outdoors. This helps our planet out a lot. Now, more people are even riding buses, walking to school, and riding their bikes to lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the air. Planting trees and recycling also help. If you recycle, less trash goes to the dump, and less trash gets burned. As a result, there are fewer greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Although adults do many things to help stop global warming, kids can do just as much.68. By the example given in paragraph 1, the author wants to _.A. say that there are greenhouse gases in every carB. show his feeling in a car in hot summerC. tell us cars are causes of greenhouse gasesD. explain how greenhouse gases work69. What is the effect of atmosphere?A. It only traps the heat of the sun.B. It makes the earth neither too hot nor too cold.C. It works the same way as greenhouse gases.D. It prevents all the light from the sun shining on the earth.70. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?A. Although greenhouse effect is necessary, too much of it causes us to die.B. Human beings are likely to disappear from the earth.C. Crops cant take the heat if there is greenhouse effect.D. If there is greenhouse effect, all the plants will die.71. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. Why cars and buses pollute the air a lot.B. What global warming is doing to the environment.C. What kids can do to help stop global warming.D. Who should be responsible for the environmental problems.*结束 Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural(乡下的) areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years. In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows. In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers(摩天大楼) and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need. But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.72. The underlined phrase “a residential area means an area _.A. which is suitable for living inB. which is near a city centerC. where people can do businessD. where people can buy things73. Why do people move to live in cities or towns?A. Because they can live more comfortably there.B. Because they are sure of having a better life there.C. Because they mainly want to find work there.D. Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life.74. What can we know about the business district?A. Its reasonable for a business district without a park for children to play in.B. People usually work and live in the skyscrapers in the cities.C. A business district usually lies not far away from the city center downtown.D. Big companies usually have their main offices in the business district.75. We can infer that this movement from rural to urban areas _.A. has been going on for more than 2,000 yearsB. may not continue in the futureC. will surely continue in the futureD. has now stopped already参考答案
