16、句的主语和从句主语一致，且从句谓语含有动词be时，可省略从句的主语和be动词。因compare与主语之间是被动关系，故此处的完整形式为：when it is compared to other changes。3C句意为：全球转暖是人为的，而不是随意的自然现象。rather than而不是，符合题意。more than多于，超过；other than除了；except for除了(用于肯定主体，否定局部)。4D考查强调句型，it is/was.that/who.，当强调人时，可用that或who。此处强调主语a scientist called Charles Keeling。5D第一空用su
17、bscribe to表示“同意，赞成”；第二空用不定式表目的。apply to申请，应用于；correspond to符合，与一致；cater to满足于；迎合。6Cthe most important one of.是一个非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“greenhouse” gases。因先行词是物，故排除B项；that和these不能用于引导非限制性定语从句。7B句意为：这意味着更多的热能将被困在大气层中，从而引起了全球气温上升。go up上升，增长，符合题意。grow up成长，长大；build up增进；加强；bring up养育，抚养。8A句意为：正是由于越来越多的燃烧化石燃料导致了
18、二氧化碳的增加。result in导致，符合题意。lead to导致；result from由引起，因而产生；as a result因此，结果，在句中作状语。9Bbe opposed to反对，符合题意。object to反对；be supposed to do sth.应该做某事；be determined to do sth.决心做某事。10Aeven if即使，纵然，符合题意。as if好像；now that既然；as long as只要。二阅读理解.1.B主旨大意题，综观全文可以看出，文章开篇点题，在第一段点明了文章的主题：泰国首都曼谷(Bangkok)为了提高人们对全球变暖的认识在周
19、三关灯15分钟。然后下文对这一活动的情况作了详细的介绍，故选B项。这里要注意题目和原文中同义词的替代问题：raise awarenessremind.of。2D计算题。由倒数第三段的“.more than 26 million tons of carbon dioxide into the air each year，or nearly 20 percent of Thailands total CO2 emissions.”可以计算出泰国整个二氧化碳的排放量是130 million tons。3C推理判断题。由文章第三段中描述的“.with some malls and hotels ignoring the request.”可知，并不是所有的人都赞成这次活动。4A细节判断题。用排除法。由第一段可以判断C项正确；由倒数第二段可以判断D项正确；由倒数第四段可以判断B项正确。文章没有提到不关灯的市民要被罚款(be fined)。
