11、uccessful.阅读理解AThe average temperature around the world is rising. People living in the US Midwest might find a fact hard to believe, though. The scientists suggest that the change in the Midwest climate may have happened because of farming.The first study was led by David Changnon, a climatologist(
12、气候学家) at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb.Changnon and his team studied temperature records from the sites in the Midwest. They found that since 1970, the average temperature in the region during July and August has gone downby up to one degree Fahrenheit(华氏度)from what it was during the years
13、between 1930 and 1969. Their investigation also showed that the average rainfall in those states during those two months has increased. Between 1970 and 2009, about 0.33 inch more rain fell than between 1930 and 1969.These_changes may be connected by humidity(湿度), Changnon says. Humidity is the meas
14、ure of how much moisture is in the air. Humid air, which contains a lot of moisture，takes longer to heat up than dry air, Changnon notes. And humid air often releases its moisture through rainfall.So where did the extra moisture in the air come from？Changnon points to farms in the region. As plants
15、grow, they pull moisture from the ground and release it into the air. And among plants, soybeans (大豆) and corn plants release a lot of moisture. Midwestern farms now plant more soybeans and corn than in the past, with 97 percent of farmland today planted with these two crops. In the 1930s, corn and
16、soybeans covered only about 57 percent, Changnon says. He also notes that the plants are planted closer together now than they used to be, so there are more plants per acre than in the past.The second study, like Changnons, also found an increase in rainfall in the same area. But it points to anothe
17、r possible source for the increased moisture. Alan Robock at Rutgers University was part of the team that produced the second study and presented the groups findings. The team found that irrigation practices in the Great Plains have changed over the years. The researchers studied a vast area in the
18、region. They found that in 1930, farmers in that region irrigated only about 1.8 million acres of farmland. In 1980, however, farmers irrigated nearly 15 million acres. Plants use the water and then release it into the air.These results by Changnon and Robock and their colleagues are the first step
19、toward understanding a change in the weather.【语篇解读】这是一篇科普类说明文。全球变暖是一个不争的事实，然而在美国中西部地区人们却感受不到这种变化，这是为什么呢？1What does the underlined term “These changes” refer to?ALower temperatures and more rainfall.BHigher temperatures and higher humidity.CMaking a record both in the past and now.DThe two periods of
20、 the 40year investigation.【解析】代词指代题。上文中提到1970年以来，七月和八月的平均温度比1930年到1969年这段时间下降了1华氏度，而平均降雨量增加了0.33英寸。由此可知“These changes”指的是：温度降低，降雨量增多。【答案】A2Which of the following could be the possible sources for the increased moisture in the US Midwest?AScientists research and farmers attention.BLess farmland and m
21、ore plants.CMore plants and irrigation practices.DNatural reservoirs and underground rivers.【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段内容和第四段中的第二、四句话和最后一句可知空气湿度增加的原因是C项。【答案】C3The studies show that in Americas Midwest，_.Athe average temperature is getting higher and higherBmore and more farmland has been desertedCthe amount of
22、rain is closely related to the temperatureDsummers are now cooler and wetter than they were in years past【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，近四十年美国中西部地区七月和八月的平均气温比前四十年的平均气温要低1华氏度，而降雨量多0.33英寸。由此可知D项正确。【答案】D4According to the passage, irrigating more and more plants means _.Amaking more space for farms and buildingsBm
23、aking more and more water into the air, and thus causing more rainCmore farms depending on watersaving systemsDusing plants to change the climate【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中的Plants use the water and then release it into the air.可知，植物吸收灌溉的水，然后再将水释放到空气中，从而形成降雨。【答案】BBA few days ago I asked my sons governess(家庭女教师)
24、 Julia to come into my study. “Be seated，Julia，”I said，“Lets settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money，but maybe youre too polite to mention it. Now then，we agreed on thirty dollars a month. ”“Forty.”“No，thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well，um，youve
25、 been here for two months，so.”“Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take nine Sundays off.you know you didnt work with Tom on Sundays，and you only took walks. And three holidays.”Julia was biting her fingernail n
26、ervously，her face red，but，not a word.“Three holidays，therefore take twelve dollars off your pay. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons，as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven makes ninete
27、en. Take nineteen off.that leaves，hmm.fortyone dollars. Correct？”Julias left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled，and she coughed nervously and blew her nose，but still not a word.“Around New Years Day you broke a teacup and a saucer；take two dollars off your pay. The cup cost more，b
28、ecause it was a treasure of the family，but forget it. Then，due to your neglect(疏忽)，Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket；take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dicks shoes. You ought to watch everything！You get paid for it. So，that means five more dollars off. The tenth of Janu
29、ary I gave you ten dollars.”“You didnt.” sobbed Julia.“But I made a note of it.”“Well.if you say so.”“Take twentyseven from fortyone，and that leaves fourteen.”Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose.Poor girl!“Only once was I given any money，”she whi
30、spered，her voice trembling，“and that was by your wife. Three dollars，nothing more.”“Really？You see now，and I didnt know that！Take three from fourteen and it leaves eleven. Heres your money，my dear. Three，three，three，one and one. Here it is！”I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed the
31、m.“Merci(Thanks)，”she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the floor. I was overcome with anger. “For what，this merci？”I asked.“For the money.”“But you know Ive cheated yourobbed you！I have actually stolen from you！Why this merci？ ”“In my other places they didnt give me anything at all.”
32、“They didnt give you anything？No wonder！I played a little joke on you，a cruel lesson，just to teach you.Im going to give you all the eighty dollars！Here they are in the envelope all ready for you.Is it really possible to be so spineless(懦弱)？Why didnt you protest？Why were you silent？Is it possible in
33、this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)to be such a fool？”Embarrassed，she smiled. And I could read her expression，“It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and，to her great surprise，gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little “merci” several times and went out. I looked a
