Geographers predict that climate zones could completely disappear within the next eighty years. Where will crops be grown if this happens? When the climate changes a lot, polar regions will get colder and tropical regions will get even hotter. As a result, where will animals be forced to move on the earth?Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes(飓风) will not only increase but may also become stronger. If the changes come too quickly, animals and plants may not be able to adapt(适应) right away and could disappear from the earth.According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that, by the year 2100, many of todays familiar climates will be taken place by climate unknown in todays world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of far-reaching results for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a huge tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands more died in China in another big earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was destroyed seriously and became ruins in 2010 by another big earthquake.Not long ago, scientists discovered ice melting(融化) in west Antarctica(南极洲). This is very worrying because temperatures in this area have remained rather constant(不断的) and actually even lower at time. Melting occurs when temperatures increase and since temperatures have remained, the ice should not be melting. However, satellite data(数据) shows melting around west Antarctica.Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously expected. At this point, it doesnt matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. On the other hand, our world is getting more and more unstable(不稳定) every year. Natural disasters(灾难) are becoming more frequent(频繁的) and serious.However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connections between these. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data. （1）Whats the writers attitude toward the climate changes?A . We should observe the great changes of the climate carefully.B . We must connect with other planets to prevent the climate changes.C . We should try our best to do something against the climate changes.D . We need to discover what causes the climate changes first of all.（2）What does the underlined word “tropical” mean?A . cold and dryB . cool and wetC . hot and wetD . warm and dry（3）What can be inferred from the passage? A . Collecting more data will help us to solve the problem.B . The climate will be much better than we have expected.C . Earthquakes can be avoided in a few years time.D . The ice in west Antarctica will stop melting in the future.（4）The prediction of geographers is that_ A . human being will extinguish in 2010.B . the ice in the South Pole will all melt in the future.C . the sea level will decrease.D . climate zones will disappear.（5）which of the following is False? A . Climate changes cause the spread of diseases.B . In 2100,many of todays familiar climates will disappear.C . Scientist found that the ice is melting in east Antarctica.D . There are more and more natural disasters occurring in our world.（6）whats the passage mainly about? A . It tells us how to protect the environment of the earth.B . It talks about the bad effects of the climate changes.C . It shows us how to prevent diseases from spreading.D . It describes what we should do with the earthquakes.9. （10分）阅读下列材料，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。One little miracle (奇迹) has been happening to me recently， and it gives me a special joy.A few months ago， I was telling my daughter， Sally， some stories about my mother.

Around 132 years later in January, the bottle was found on the Australian coast, making it the oldest-known message in a bottle in the world.The bottle was thrown into the water to know, about ocean waves(海浪). Between 1864 and 1933, German sailors threw thousands of bottles into the sea. About 663 of those messages were found later.But throwing messages in bottles into the ocean is not just for scientists. People send out such messages for many reasons. Some people write information about themselves in the hopes of finding a pen pal. Others write down secrets, hoping that the waves will wash them away. And still other people just write down some jokes, songs or anything else they think might be fun. There are even online messages in bottles. People can send the messages through WeChat or QQ.The reasons mad ways might be different, but the goal is always the same: to reach out and try to connect with someone. This kind of shared feeling might be why this tradition has remained popular for so long. In 1988, the British band The Police wrote a song called Message in A Bottle that describes this feeling.As the songs lyrics say, we are a hundred billion castaways(被抛弃者) looking for a home. When will you feel relieved (释然的)? A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore. Seems Im not alone at being alone.（1）In 1886, the German captain used the bottle with a message_. A . to do scientific researchB . to send messages to AustraliansC . to get help from ships in the oceanD . to keep in touch with scientists（2）The third paragraph mainly tells us the _of throwing messages in bottles. A . reasonsB . feelingsC . historyD . importance（3）The underlined words this feeling in Paragraph 4 refer to_. A . the wish of keeping a secretB . the pleasure of playing jokesC . the pleasure of listening to the songD . the wish of connecting with someone（4）The best title of this passage can be_. A . A Gift from Ocean.B . Message Online.C . A Bottle of Secret.D . Message in Bottles.四、 词汇运用。 (共2题；共15分)11. （5分）选择词语适当形式填空,每词仅用一次。deaf feel cloud her hurt（1）I get such a strong _of satisfaction when I see the animals get better. （2）Jenny cut _.
