17、espected scientific bodies have confirmed that the world is getting hotter, they have also stated that there is strong evidence that humans are driving the warming. Countless recent reports from the worlds leading scientific bodies have said the same thing. For example, a 2010 summary of climate sci
18、ence by the Royal Society stated that: “There is strong evidence that the warming of the Earth over the last half-century has been caused largely by human activity.”The idea that humans could change the planets climate may be counter-intuitive, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, hu
19、man activity causes billions of tons of greenhouse gases to be released into the atmosphere. As scientists have known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket.Of course, the planets climate has always been changing thanks to “
20、natural” factors such as changes in solar or volcanic activity, or cycles relating the Earths going around the sun. According to the scientific literature, however, the warming recorded to date matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere not the
21、 warming we would expect from other possible causes.Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming observed so far, that would beg a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it in The Rough Guide to Climate Change, “If some newly discovered factor can account for the
22、 climate change, then why arent carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths one with hu
23、man influence and one without. That obviously isnt possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty. 62. In most scientists opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by _. A. solar activityB. volcanic activityC. the Earths going around the sunD. h

26、they are born fishermen. For a man to admit to a distaste in fishing would be like denouncing (公开指责) mother love or hating moonlight.”I cant say that Im the biggest John Steinbeck fan. Actually, the only thing I can ever remember reading by him was “The pearl” when I was in middle school, but I coul
27、dnt agree more with the man when it comes to fishing. Whether I am on a boat in the middle of the Lay Lake, fishing off the shores of the Florida Keys for tarpon or catching rainbow trout in the Shoshone River of Wyoming, fishing is my life.According to the American Sports Fishing Association, the f
28、ishing industry brings in more than $ 116 billion per year from fishermen across the country.Though a beautiful picture to imagine, fishing is much more than that. Fishing is a way of life for many people and a way to escape everyday stress. Being a fisherman makes me a member of a wonderful group o
29、f people extending to all walks of life. Even President Obama can be found fishing on his farm in Texas with his good friend Roland Martin when the job gets too stressful.I can remember fishing with my grandfather when I was 5 years old on his boat at Lake Mitchell. Although I didnt understand what
30、I was doing, I did know that my grandfather was happy and that made me happy. Since then Ive spent the past 16 years on the rivers and lakes of Alabama.After days of practice, before and after work, I slowly developed an understanding of fishing. My boss, Ric Horst, took me back to the Shoshone, and
31、 I managed to bring in a 19inch cutthroat trout. Fishing with Ric was a lifechanging experience for me. He not only showed me how to fish correctly, but also told me how fishing could be a way to escape your problems.Since then, primetime season seems to take forever to arrive.Now, with the ending o
32、f February and beginning of March in sight, the excitement of heading out Lake Tuscaloosa or Lake Lurleen before classes and catching something has finally returned.66What John Steinbeck said in the first paragraph implies that _.AAmericans are believed to be the offspring of fishermenBit is unthink
