are a constant threat and none of Tuvalus ninelittle islands is more than five meters above sea levelSalt water is alreadyentering the countrys drinking water supply,as well as damaging plants thatproduce fruit and vegetablesWithout urgent help,the countrys days are numberedBut Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the seaVenice,4a historic city in Italy best known for its canals,has sunk about 24cm over thepast 100 yearsExperts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050A centuryago,St Marks Square,the lowest point city,flooded about nine times ayearNowadays,it happens more than 100 timesWhile Venice is slowly sinking intothe mud on which it stands,global warming causes Tuvalus rising sea levelThe average global temperature has increased by almost 05 centigradedegrees over the past century;scientists expect it rise by extra 1-3 degrees overthe next 100 yearsWarmer weather makes glaciers（冰川）melt,and adds more water to theoceanThe warmer temperatures also make water expand,so it takes up more space,causing the sea level to riseThe sea level has risen about 10-25 cm in the last100 yearsThe main cause of global warming is human pollutionThrough burningcoal,oil and gas,people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere,such as CO2This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect,making the planet evenwarmerMany scientists believe that,if the warming is not stopped,there willbe huge climate changesThe sea level could rise by one meter this centuryShould this come true,the sea would swallow up millions of homes andthe world will be flooded with“climate refugees”looking for somewhere to live25.We can infer from the second paragraph thatA.Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the seaB.all Tuvalus

stopped5CIn the year 1986 there was a terrible explosion.The explosion was at a nuclear powerplant in another country called Ukraine.The radiation(辐射)caused a lot of damage.It polluted the soil and other things.People lived in the area when the explosionhappened.Twenty years later those people are still suffering.Effects from theexplosion will go on for a long time.Over two million people still

the Chernobyl ChildrensProject.They want to bring children from the Ukraine to the U.S.each summer.A spokesperson for the group says that radiation is the highest in the summertime,so it is a good

disasters that can cause great damageand only Mother Nature knows when and where they are going to occur.Even with moderntechnology it is still impossible to know exactly when or where one is going to occur.6Mountain climbers are wise to be careful,as avalanches kill many of them each year.The physics of how and why an avalanche occurs is complex.There are times of higherprobability.During the year,the transition（转变 from winter to spring will causesome snow and ice to melt,which may trigger avalanches.Also at daybreak there isa higher probability due to the temperature change.While climbers hike up slopes,some distance between the climbers should be kept.If an avalanche occurs,then there will be fewer lives lost and a higher probabilitythat someone will be able to seek help.Since an accident is more likely to happenwhen a top layer of snow is loose,avoid areas where heavy snow or rain has recentlyoccurred.Try to choose areas that you are familiar with and stay in areas with rocks,bushesand trees.Trees and bushes allow snow to pile up and keep the layers stable.Ifan avalanche occurs,trees will take the impact of the snow,so there is a betterchance of being safe.Climbers must pay attention to the degree of the slope.Avalanches wont occur onlevel ground and there is little snowfall on very steep areas.The greatest dangeris in areas where the slope is between 25 and 40 degrees.Remember that,if you get stuck in an avalanche,there is no car hire available totake you to the nearest airport.33.What do we know from the first paragraph?A.Many mountain climbers die of avalanches each year.B.Of all the natural disasters,avalanches cause the greatest damage.C.Most climbers who meet avalanches die for not paying enough attention toavalanches.With the development of science and technology,avalanches can now be predictedexactly.34.The underlined word“trigger”in the second paragraph probably means“_”.A.make use ofB.result inC.put an end toD.slow down35.Why is there a higher probability that an avalanche occurs at daybreak?Because daybreak is the coldest time of the day in the mountain.Because it often snows heavily in the mountains at daybreak.Because temperature changes at daybreak.Because the top layer snow is loose at daybreak.第二节 七选五（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中又两项为多余选项。EFood is life;it gives us the nourishment(营养)we
