6、 begin to decrease today, we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change.Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process.We are therefore not talking about ad
7、apting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions.This is why, in part at least, the US National Climate Assessment says that:“there_is_noonesize_fits_all_adaptation”Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost.Around the world, people are
8、 adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries.Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades.Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster.His notforprofit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health cli
9、nics, and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities.Rezwan is creating floating connectivity(连接)to replace flooded roads and highways.But he is also working at a far more fundamental level:his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation
10、 during the wet season.Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken.Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man.The loss of glaciers(冰川)there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture.Without the glaciers, water
11、 will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops.Norphels inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needeDHe directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring.His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigatio
12、n(灌溉)water.Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200, 000m3 of water.Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphels ice reserves will not last forever.Warming will overtake them.But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps,
13、be able to find other means of adapting.Increasing Earths reflectiveness can cool the planet.In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses(which reflect light back to space)has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region.While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temp
14、eratures near the greenhouses have decreaseDThis example should act as an inspiration for all cities.By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the
15、entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the lifegiving ice.The outcome is still far from clear.But the World Bank has included the project on its list of “100 ideas to save the planet”More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere.A friend of min

17、same things differently.This is common sense.But some suggestions for adapting are not.When the polluting industries argue that weve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, its a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.Human beings will continue
18、to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways.But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution.After all, if we adapt in that way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others.文章大意:这是一篇科普类文章, 主题是环保与气候, 讲述了世界各地人
19、们为了应对不断变化的气候做出的举措。1The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies _Aadaptation is an everchanging processBthe cost of adaptation varies with timeCglobal warming affects adaptation formsDadaptation to climate change is challenging解析:D推理判断题。画线部分“there is noonesize fits all adaptation”中“onesize fits all”的字
20、面意思是“一种尺寸适合所有人”, 这显然是不可能的, 对气候的适应也不存在这种情况。这就说明适应气候的变化不是一件容易的事, 所以选D。2What is special with regard to Rezwans project?AThe project receives government support.BDifferent organizations work with each other.CHis organization makes the best of a bad situation.DThe project connects flooded roads and highw
21、ays.解析:C细节理解题。根据第三段中“Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster.”以及后面的内容可知Rezwan能在灾难中看到机会, 他的做法的特点就是充分利用糟糕的情形, 故选C。3What did the Ice Man do to reduce the effect of global warming?AStoring ice for future use.BProtecting the glaciers from melting.CChanging the irrigation time.DPost
22、poning the melting of the glaciers.解析:A细节理解题。根据第四段中“He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring.His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation water.”可知the Ice Man的做法是把水引入低洼的盆地, 在那里结成冰储存起来, 春天可以用来灌溉。故选A。4What do we learn from the Peru example
23、?AWhite paint is usually safe for buildings.BThe global warming trend cannot be stoppeDCThis country is heating up too quickly.DSunlight reflection may relieve global warming.解析:D根据第六段中“have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life
24、giving ice”以及文中“on its list of 100 ideas to save the planet”可知, 秘鲁农民把当地的山峰刷成白色, 希望增加对太阳光的反射, 使温度降低, 从而减少温室效应。所以D项正确。 5.According to the author, polluting industries should _Aadapt to carbon pollutionBplant highly profitable cropsCleave carbon emission aloneDfight against carbon pollution解析:D推理判断题。根据
25、倒数第二段中“When the polluting industries argue that weve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, its a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.”可知, 一些污染企业辩解说我们在控制二氧化碳的战役中已经输了, 除了适应别无选择, 这是为了继续照常做生意而编造好的无稽之谈。由此可见, 在作者看来, 污染企业应该和二氧化碳污染作斗争。故选D。6Whats th
26、e authors preferred solution to global warming?ASetting up a new standarDBReducing carbon emission.CAdapting to climate change.DMonitoring polluting industries.解析:B细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution.”可知作者认为最明智的适应

BCaring.CHumorou
35、s. DCourageous.解析:B考查推理判断。根据第三段最后一句“By this time,she was not only calm,but she was also happy.”以及第五段第二句中的“thousands of people responded,with many thanking the firefighters for going out of their way to calm down a frightened girl”可知,消防员通过让小女孩给自己涂指甲不仅使她镇静了下来,而且使小女孩很开心;在社交媒体上,很多人感谢消防员们设法安慰那个受了惊吓的小女孩。由
36、此可推知,这两个消防员是关心他人的。故选B。10What is the purpose of the text?ATo ask us to learn to calm down in times of danger.BTo speak highly of the warmhearted firefighters.CTo introduce the little girl who likes painting nails.DTo praise the two firefighters who learn to decorate nails.解析:B考查写作意图。文章讲述了两位消防员为了使一个两岁
