Climate change, global warming, the greenhouse effect … these days nobody denies that there is something strange and worrying happening to the atmosphere. Scientists are puzzled by the rise in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They are afraid that the world may be a short way from what they refer to as uncontrolled global warming.
At Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, meteorologists(气象专家) have been carefully monitoring the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere for the past 50 years. Until recently, there has been a gradual increase of around 1.5 parts per million (ppm). In 2013 the figure rose to 2.08 ppm and in the following year they registered an increase of 2.54 ppm.
.Climate analysts feel that it istoo soon to draw conclusions about the phenomenon although the public are concerned that the carbon dioxide emissions are getting out of control. Jason Samenow, the chief meteorologist in the American National Weather Service,thinks that instead of having decades to find a solution to the problem, people might have only a few years. He believes that the Earth’s natural systems for absorbing the gas are breaking down resulting in the uncontrolled green house effect. He insists that this is something that could happen if the Earth’stemperatures rose to such a degree that it was unable to contain the heat. .
One interesting aspect of this climate change ng down resulting in the uncontrolled greenhouse effect. He insists that this is something that could happen if the Earth’s temperatures rose to such a degree that it was unable to contain the heat.is that it is not happening in a uniform way around the world. Carbon dioxide levels in the South Pole are noticeably lower. This suggests that something has happened in the northern hemisphere that set off the rise. Forest fires in North America might hold the answer to the puzzle, along with very hot summers in Europe.
The 2014 heat wave was certainly out of the ordinary. Statistics claim that more than 30,000 people lost their lives as a direct result of the high temperatures. Scientists are being cautious in their interpretations. Most feel that it is too soon to say that a new trend has been set. All agree that the phenomenon needs to be closely observed.
1.What puzzles scientists according to Paragraph 1?
A. Something strange and worrying in life.
B. Uncontrolled global warming.
C. The increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
D. The effects of climate change on everybody.
2.What opinion does Jason Samenow hold on the gradual increase of carbon dioxide?
A. People still have decades to solve this problem.
B. Uncontrolled greenhouse effect may happen in some situation.
C. The Earth’s natural systems for absorbing the gas have completely broken down.
D. The public shouldn’t be responsible for carbon dioxide emissions.
3.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Forest fires in North America.
B. Low temperatures in the South Pole.
C. Hot summers in Europe.
D. North and South differences in climate change.
4.How will scientists deal with the high temperatures?
A. By observing the phenomenon closely.
B. By giving a solution directly.

Think about the last time you felt afraid. Was it a fear of height? Did you oversleep on a weekday and fear you’d get into trouble at the office? In any case, you know what it feels like to feel fear.
But one woman doesn’t The woman, code-named “UM”, gave her first-ever interview after years of being studied by a team of researchers. The woman is given a code name because the researchers want to protect her from anyone who would take advantage of her inability to feel afraid.
UM can’t tell you what fear is because she’s never experienced it. “I wonder what it’s like to actually be afraid of something,” she said. The formal name for the disease is Urbach-Wieth disease, which is characterized by a hoarse(粗哑的)voice,small bumps around the eyes, and calcium deposits(钙沉积的)in the brain.
In the case of UM,the disease has transformed the part of her brain that controls the human response to fear. In the interview, UM talks about an event in her life where she was held at knifepoint and gunpoint, “I was walking to the store,and I saw a man on a park bench.He said. “Come here,please,” so I went over to him. He grabbed me by the shirt,put a knife to my throat and told me he was going to cut me. I told him, “Go ahead and cut me,” I wasn’t afraid at all. And for some reason,he let me go.”
Doctors who have been studying UM’s condition for years have been trying different things that could strike fear into her. They finally figured something out—increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels.Extra carbon dioxide concentration in the blood is known to cause fear and panic in health individuals. Increasing UM’s carbon dioxide levels did manage to give her a fright.
1.The text starts by_______.
A. challenging the reader
B. solving daily problems
C. listing situations
D. giving explanations
2.Why is the woman with Urbach-Wieth disease given a code name?
A. To tell her case from other patients
B. To respect her privacy
C. To meet the researchers’ demands
D. To ensure her safety
3.From UM’s case,we can know that Urbach-Wieth disease may________.
A. stop the brain from functioning normally
B. lead to a decrease in calcium deposits
C. stop the brain from responding quickly
D. lead to an increase in carbon dioxide
4.What will probably happen to UM from the last paragraph?
A. Dying of the Urbach-Wieth disease.
B. Getting the sense of panic.
C. Experiencing another danger.
D. Speaking with a hoarse voice.

All hotels redecorate regularly.However,very few do it as frequently as Sweden’s Icehotel. As the name indicates,the hotel that is located in the remote village of Jukkasjarvi,is built entirely from ice and,therefore,has to be rebuilt annually! The 26th version of Icehotel,which welcomed its first visitors on December 11th,features 69 rooms.To make them affordable for everyone,they range from expensive luxury suites(豪华套房)to basic accommodations.
Among this year’s unique suite offerings is the“Elephant in the Room”,which features a massive 3-m tall sculpted African elephant overlooking an ice—framed bed.The“Counting Sheep”suite features frozen sheep that may help those who don’t sleep well get a good night’s rest. Though the atmosphere between the luxury suites and the budget rooms may differ,they are all subject to the bone-chilling-5℃ temperatures.To get a good night’s rest guests have to lie inside sleeping bags and keep their gloves and hats on.Though that seems a little uncomfortable,visitors say it is an experience like none other.
The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an Ice Bar that will serve drinks in ice glasses.Though dining options are limited to the hotel’s only restaurant,guests will have little to complain about with Michelin—trained chef Alexander Meier.To keep customers entertained,the hotel offers a variety of fun activities like snowshoeing,moose or snowmobile safaris,dog sledding,and even overnight wilderness camping.
The 26-year-·old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an art exhibition to draw winter visitors to the remote village that lies 200 km north of the Arctic Circle.Among the many tourists was an adventurous group and they announced their intention of spending the night in the place where the exhibition was being held.That’s when the idea of building the icy accommodations dawned on the locals.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Since the day of its birth, the United Nations has been the subject of much debate. 1.
Others think that it is too weak. We can better understand this debate if we learn more about the U.N. and its history.
The U.N. was started for two reasons. First, when the idea was born, people all over the world were tired of war. They felt that there must be peaceful answers to the world’s problems.
2.
The second reason was that modern science had developed new bombs and airplanes. 3.
National borders were beginning to lose their meaning. Science would develop even more dangerous weapons in the future. Only an international organization would be able to control modern science.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, U.S. President at the time, believed that the Allies (联盟) should plan for peace before the war ended. On December 1, 1943, Roosevelt, Britain’s Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin from Soviet Union agreed to start an organization for world peace. 4.
During the next year and a half, the idea of such an organisation was debated around the world. Then came the big day. On April 11, 1945, the first international meeting of the United Nations took place in San Francisco. The goal of the meeting was to write the U.N. Charter (宪章). All of the fifty-one nations at the meeting had their own ideas to offer for the Charter. 5.
Every nation present voted for the Charter. No one voted against it.
A. After a long debate, a final Charter was agreed upon.
B. The U.N. Charter is a beautiful piece of writing.
C. They asked all countries, large and small, to join the organization.
D. Even the smallest country on earth can have its voice heard.
E. They also felt that only an international organization could keep world peace.
F. These weapons made it almost impossible for a country to defend itself.
G. Some people attack the organization because they think it is too powerful.
