According to a survey, with only 69% accepting the earth is warming only 1/4 Americans see global warming as a major threat, public opinion 1 the scientific conclusion.Climate scientists and campaigners have long debated how to better municate the message to nonexperts so that climate science can be 2 into action. According to Christopher Rapley, the usual tactic(策略) of climate experts to provide the public with information isnt 3 because it does not address key potential causes. We are all exposed to the evidence of climate change on an almost a daily basis. The information is almost 4 .Then whats wrong? 5 our brains.Daniel Gilbert mentioned our brains failure to accurately notice gradual change. Robert Gifford also _6_ the point about our brains difficulty in grasping climate change because of limited cognition and social _7_ with other people (Why should we change if X wont?) . A more powerful barrier is the 8 of perceived(感知的) behavioral control; I m only one person; what can I do ? is certainly a big one. For many, the first challenge will be in recognizing barriers 9 they can overe them.But for those of us who understand that climate change is a problem yet make little effort to cut the number of overseas trips we make or the amount of meat we consume, neither the uncaring attitude nor denial really explains the 10 between our actions and beliefs. Lertzman has e to the conclusion that the conflict between _11 _ both the planet and our way of life is too painful to bear. When we dont 12 the pain of that, thats when we get 13 and cant move forward. Lertzman refers to this 14 as environmental melancholia(忧郁症), and points out that theres a lot to be said for providing a means 15 acceptable to talk about.Rosemary Randall suggests that climate change is such a(n) 16 subject that it can raise fears and anxieties that people feel have no 17 in polite conversation.Lertzman says the munity has been slow to realize the value of psychology. Gifford says otherwise, _18_ climate change, and not mental health, is the biggest psychological problem.Despite the pain, shame, difficulty in fully addressing climate change, both Lertzman and Gifford are still _19_ about our ability to face up to the challenge. There cant be anything about the human mind that stops us struggling with these issues given that so many people 20 are maybe thats what we should be focusing on instead. says Lertzman.1.

Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, its an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since its all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only ponents required, though, are a 55 sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container perhaps just a drinking cup to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catchers productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up and out the side of the hole. Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheets center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup. The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and wont have to break down the still every time you need a drink. 1. What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?A. Its delicate. B. Its expensive.C. Its plex. . D. Its portable.2. What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. The tube. B. The still.C. The hole. D. The cup.3. Whats the last step of constructing a working solar still?A. Dig a hole of a certain size. B. Put the cup in place.C. Weight the sheets center down. D. Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.4. When a solar still works, drops of water e into the cup from .A. the plastic tube B. outside the holeC. the open air D. beneath the sheetBIts most keen advocates say that global warming is gradually ruining our parts of our planet. But the effects of the phenomenon might be felt more positively a little closer to home, after scientists claimed that it would make flowers smell sweeter.Some flowers could give out a smell that is nine times more fragrant than they currently produce, according to a report. It says that a temperature increase of between 1 and 5 will vastly increase the ability of flowers to produce their sweet smells.The study suggests that plants are able to produce more terpenes (萜烯) the chemicals that give them their smells in hotter conditions. Despite the environmental risk linked to climate change, the effect on flowers could also help bee populations as the stronger smells make flowers easier to find and pollinate. It also found that the effect could be more significant in cooler countries such as the UK and would have a strong impact on fruit trees.The findings e as the unseasonably warm autumn weather this year has led to reports that plants are being tricked into blooming early.Guy Barter described the findings as interesting and said it could have a significant effect on lightly scented flowers. We think about climate change in terms of rising temperatures and sea levels, but there are more delicate potential effects which we have not thought about, he said.Last year, experts warned the average global temperature had risen by 0.5 in 50 years. They predicted temperatures will increase by 3 over the next century, causing a rise in sea levels, flooding, disease outbreaks and mass migration of refugees (难民).The researchers looked at a variety of plants. In the paper the researchers said, The species with the highest increases in emissions were those with the lowest fragrance rates. The increases calculated for floral terpene emissions show that very significant increases in the amount of floral scents will likely occur in a warmer world. The rates of floral terpene emission by the end of the century could increase 0.349.1 times because of a 5 increase in the average maximum temperature during the flowering peak of the season.5. We can infer from the text that in England .A. plants bore more fruits in autumn this yearB. the seasons werent in order this whole yearC. the autumn of this year was a little coolerD. plants began to produce flowers early in autumn this year6. What Barter said indicates that .A. every coin has two sidesB. a miss is as good as a mileC. dont claim to know what you dont knowD. dont put the cart before the horse7. The last paragraph implies that in hotter conditions .A. plants will have the lowest fragrance ratesB. plants will send more sweeter chemicalsC. plants will suffer the rising temperatureD. plants will finish their flowering peak soon8. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Will plants produce more chemicals in the future?B. Is it easier to find sweeter flowers everywhere?C. Could global warming make flowers smell sweeter?D. Do flowers smell stronger in the cold temperature?. 语法填空Walking down the city streets, you look up and see 1 red telephone box. Behind it, on the road, a big red double-floor bus passes by, 2 (carry) citizens and tourists. This is London. And the red is what the city is famous 3 .Modern transportation has changed the way we lead our lives. One important means of transport has been the bus. In London, buses take on a bigger role.

B【解析】推理判断题。根据Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catchers productivity可知最好在潮湿的地方挖洞，以提高接水器的工作效率。“接水器”指的是在潮湿的地方挖洞，在洞的底部放一个杯子，杯子上方用膜覆盖，整个装置构成接水器，而不是某个部分。这一题很容易错选D，但是就算在干燥的地方挖洞，杯子也可以接水，杯子接水的事实并不会因为周围环境的变化而变化，杯子的工作效率是不变的。故选B。3. C【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheets center down with a rock.可知最后一步是weighting the sheets center down with a rock(放一块石头在覆盖膜的中间，把它压下去)，故选C。4. D【解析】推理判断题。结合第四段中的Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup可知地下水蒸发，在覆盖膜上聚集起来，直到形成小水滴落在杯子里，覆盖膜是在杯子上面的，水滴落入杯子里，所以水滴是凝聚在覆盖膜的下面。故选D。B【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。全球变暖带来的海平面上升、生物链断裂、飓风、海啸等危害数不胜数,但令人意想不到的是,它可能还有好的一面。7. B【解析】考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的The increases calculated for floral terpene emissions show that very significant increases in the amount of floral scents will likely occur in a warmer world可知,经过研究发现,将来在更温暖的世界里,花香的量将大大增加。8. C【解析】考查标题判断。本文主要介绍了植物能够在温度较高的环境中分泌更多产生香气的萜烯。气温上升到1到5时能够极大地增强花朵产生香甜气味的能力。在全球气候变暖的影响下,一些花朵的气味甚至比原来香甜了9倍。故C项最适合作文章的标题。. 语法填空【语篇解读】文章对英国伦敦的公交车为什么选择红色作为装饰颜色进行了介绍。1. a考查冠词。此处指“一个红色的电话亭”。red是辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。2. carrying考查非谓语。句子有谓语passes by，主语a big red double-floor bus与carry之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作伴随状语。故填carrying。3. for考查介词。此处表示“伦敦因为红色而出名”，运用be famous for短语。故填for。4. roofs考查名词。根据前面的buses可知，此处用复数，指公交车的车顶。故填roofs。5. themselves考查代词。enjoy oneself是固定搭配，指“玩得高兴”。故填themselves。6. have been used考查时态和语态。根据时间状语since 1829可知，本句用现在完成时；主语they指代Horse-drawn buses，与use之间是被动关系。故填have been used。7. biggest考查形容词。此处指最大的公司之一；one of the+形容词最高级+可数名词的复数形式。故填biggest。8. it考查代词。在此it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是for the citizens to pick out the bus。故填it。9. widely考查副词。此处指“最广泛使用的颜色”，修饰形容词used用副词。故填widely。10. that考查强调句。本句运用了强调句式“it is/ was+强调部分+that+句子其他部分”，在此强调了时间状语“in the mid-1950s”。故填that。. 短文改错Last weekend, my and I went on a camping trip near the river.
