Everyone on Earth should care about and protect the earth! The earth has warmed by about 1°F （华氏度） over the past 100 years, but why and how? Well, scientists are not quite sure. Maybe the earth gets warmer and warmer on its own. But many scientists say that people are doing many things which makes the earth warmer. First, greenhouse effect （温室效应） is a very important reason for the change of the earth. People give out too much energy into the air every year. It makes the earth warmer. Climate （气候） change is another important reason. Sometimes it becomes too hot and sometimes too cold. Sometimes there is too much rain and sometimes too little. The change of the climate makes the earth warmer. In turn, the warmth of the earth changes the climate, too. When the earth becomes warmer, there may be more rain and a rise in sea level. It will affect the growth of plants, animals and people. On a Pacific island, 100 people have to move to higher ground because the sea is rising. These people can no longer live on the coast. Before that, two islands without people went underwater in 1999. Scientists say that the seas can rise by nearly one meter by 2100. People can affect the earth's air, land and water. As for us, we can do many things to protect the earth. For example, we can use fridges less. We can tell more people about protecting the earth. （1）Earth Day is probably set for people to _. A. learn more about the earth B. make full use of the earthC. take better care of the earth. D. study the warmth of the earth（2）Greenhouse effect comes from_. A. sea rising B. climate change C. nature's unbalance D. people's activity（3）According to the passage, _ many affect each other.

A. not very clear B. completely secret C. well known D. not given yet（5）The passage mainly tells us that _. A. there is more rain now B. we should protect the earth C. we must stop pollution D. sea level is getting higher 【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）B（4）A（5）B 【解析】【分析】 这篇短文中作者主要分析了地球变暖的原因，并号召我们行动起来保护地球。（1）推理题。 根据April 22 is Earth Day.

Through our geography lessons, we know the earth goes round the sun, and the moon goes round the earth. We have day and night because the earth keeps turning all the time. When our part of the earth turns to the sun, it is day. When our part of the earth turns away from the sun, it is night. Just because the moon is closer to the earth than the sun, it looks much bigger than the sun. Big things will look smaller when they are farther, and small things also look bigger when they are nearer. The sun is bright enough to give out very strong light. The moon can't give any light at all, but it looks quite bright, too. Why? In fact, the light from the moon comes from the sun. The moon looks much bigger and brighter than the stars. But actually（事实上）the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. They look smaller than the moon also because they are farther away from the earth. There are still many other planets in the universe. But of all these planets, only on the earth there are living things and people can only live on the earth, too.

Some value it highly, believing that it is good for social progress. Others say that competition is bad. It sets one person against another. And it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

Among the most vocal are youngsters who are under competitive pressures（压力）from their parents or society. They are always told to be the top ones, but they think it's really hard. When I teach these young people, I often find them in a desire to fail. They seem to search for failure（失败）by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse:" I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try. If I had tried and lost, that would mean a lot." Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief.

Only as this fear begins to dissolve（消除）can we discover a new meaning in competition, （1）Why do some people welcome competition according to the passag? A. It pushes society forward.B. It improves one's abilities.C. It develops human qualities.D. It builds up friendly relationship.（2）The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means . A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who depend on others most for successD. those who are against competition most strongly（3）Which of the following may the writer agree to? A. Every effort should be paid back.B. Competition should be encouraged.C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.D. Fear of failure should be taken away in competition.（4）What does this passage mainly talk about? A. Competition helps to set up self-resp
