That's the prediction suggested by new research on the impact of climate change.An international team of researchers looked at the impact of rising temperatures on nearly 50,000 species of plants and animals. They came to the conclusion that these are to decline due to changes in their habitat. They looked at temperature and rainfall records for the habitats in which these species now live, and mapped the areas that would remain suitable for them under different weather conditions.The scientists projected that if no significant efforts were made to limit greenhouse gas emissionss, by the year 2100 global temperatures would be 4C above pre-industrial levels. In this scenario, some 34% of animal species and 57% of plants would lose more than half of their current habitat ranges. The impact on species will be felt more heavily in some parts of the world such as the Amazon region.Our society would be affected too, according to Dr. Rachel Warren, from the University of East Anglia in Britain. She says: "There'll be a knock-on effect for humans because these species are important for things like water and air purification, flood control and nutrients cycling, and eco-tourism."In spite of the conclusions to this paper, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, it is not all doom and gloom. Dr Warren says: "Swift action to reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gases can prevent the biodiversity loss by reducing the amount of global warming to 2C rather than 4 degrees." The researcher believes that this would buy time for plants and animals to adapt to the change.If nothing is changed and the predictions of this study are confirmed, the world might look very different in a few generations.4. What made animals and plants decrease?A. Temperature and rainfall.B. The transition in their living surroundings.C. Weather conditionD. The change of nature.5. What does the underlined word "scenario" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Assumption.B. Theory .C. Expectation .D. Truth .6. What will happen if we take measures to reduce greenhouse gases immediately?A. The temperature will not increase.B. The biodiversity loss can be totally prevented.C. Animals and plants have more time to fit.D. Current habitat will not be affected.7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. The impact of climate change.B. Massive species may die from climate change.C. Plant and animals are in danger.D. Global warming are threatening us.【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项有关气候变化的新研究，研究人员预测到，如果不迅速采取行动减少温室气体的排放，大量物种可能死于气候变化。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“An international team of researchers looked at the impact of rising temperatures on nearly 50,000 species of plants and animals. They came to the conclusion that these are to decline due to changes in their habitat.（一个国际研究小组研究了气温上升对近5万种动植物的影响。他们得出的结论是，由于栖息地的变化，它们的数量将会减少。）”可知，造成动植物减少的原因是生活环境的转变。故选B项。【5题详解】词句猜测题。上文“The scientists projected that if no significant efforts were made to limit greenhouse gas emissions, by the year 2100 global temperatures would be 4C above pre-industrial levels.（科学家们预测，如果不采取重大措施限制温室气体排放，到2100年，全球气温将比工业化前的水平高出4摄氏度。）”提出科学家们的猜想。结合划线词所在句“In this scenario, some 34% of animal species and 57% of plants would lose more than half of their current habitat ranges.（在这种scenario下，约34%的动物物种和57%的植物将失去其现有栖息地的一半以上。）”可知，this scenario指的就是前文科学家的猜想，提出在这种设想的情况下会产生的可能性。所以scenario意为“设想”。A. Assumption.猜想；B. Theory.理论；C. Expectation.期望；D. Truth.真相。故选A项。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Dr Warren says: "Swift action to reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gases can prevent the biodiversity loss by reducing the amount of global warming to 2C rather than 4 degrees." The researcher believes that this would buy time for plants and animals to adapt to the change.（沃伦博士说：“迅速采取行动减少二氧化碳和其他温室气体，可以通过将全球变暖幅度降低到2摄氏度而不是4摄氏度来防止生物多样性的丧失。”研究人员认为，这将为植物和动物争取时间来适应变化。）”可知，如果我们立即采取措施减少温室气体，动物和植物将有更多的时间来适应环境的变化。故选C项。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Can you imagine a world where more than half of our common plant species and a third of our known animals disappear from sight? That's the prediction suggested by new research on the impact of climate change.（你能想象一个超过一半的常见植物物种和三分之一的已知动物从我们的视线中消失的世界吗？这是一项关于气候变化影响的新研究提出的预测。）”和全文内容可知，文章主要讲述一项有关气候变化的新研究，研究人员预测到，如果不迅速采取行动减少温室气体的排放，大量物种可能死于气候变化。B项“Massive species may die from climate change.（大量物种可能死于气候变化。）”概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。CWhen the Chinese spacecraft Change-5 returned to Earth on December 17, 2020, it brought back something not seen on our planet since the 1970s: moon rock samples. This precious cargo, collected by Change-5s robotic research vehicle in the northwest region of the lunar near side, is now being studied by scientists in Beijing. The success of the latest Chinese space mission also showcased technology that may be used in future years to create human settlements on Earths near neighbor.The returned lunar samples will “absolutely add new knowledge of the history of the moon, particularly its volcanoes,” says Xiao Long, a planetary scientist at China University of Geosciences. The rocks sent back by Change-5 “will ask us to rethink about why and how the moons volcanic history lasted this long,” he says.The Change-5 mission was more than just a trip to collect moon rocks. It was also the latest stage of a long, planned sequence of robotic lunar explorations by China that have grown ever more scientifically advanced.The program began with the 2007 launch of Change-1 and Change-2 three years later. These craft circled the moon collecting data used to help guide Change-3 and Change-4, the first Chinese spacecraft to land on the moon surface, and to direct their robotic vehicles. The robot on Change-5 was able to collect rock and soil samples and return them to Earth. In the near future, an identical spacecraft called Change-6 will attempt a sample-return mission from the moons south polean area of intense scientific interest-given the large amount of water ice present.The more advanced Change-7 and Change-8 spacecraft are also planned to land near the south pole to carry out analysis of the region and test new technologies, including detecting and obtaining materials that could be useful to future human explorers, such as water and hydrogen, and testing 3D printing on the lunar surface.The long-term aim of the Changs program is to establish an International Lunar Research Station around 2030 to support robotic and, eventually, crewed missions.8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The moons recent volcanic activities.B. The significance of the moon rock samples.C. New knowledge of the history of the moon.D. Further studies of the returned lunar samples.9. What distinguishes the mission of Change-6 from that of Change-5?A. The technology they use.B. The time they spend on the moon.C. The specific locations they explore.D. The amount of material they bring back.10. Change-7 and Change-8 space missions are mainly intended to _.A. transport researchers to the moon stationB. build up an International Lunar Research StationC. collect data necessary to guide moon-landing spacecraftD. find and test resources and means to support living on the moon11. Which of the following best summarizes the Changs space program?A. A project to study the surface of the moon.B. A plan to improve human settlements on the moon.C. A set of experiments to test the possibility of manned spacecraft.D. A series of increasingly challenging scientific lunar explorations.【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11.
