The UN weather agency warned on Tuesday there was a good chance of an "El Nino" climate phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean this year, bringing droughts（干旱） and heavy rainfall to the rest of the world.
The World Meteorological (气象的) Organization (WMO) said its modeling suggested a "fairly large potential for an El Nino, most likely by the end of the second quarter of 2016".
The El Nino phenomenon occurs every two to seven years, when the trade winds that circulate surface water in the tropical (熟带的) Pacific start to weaken.
WMO pointed out Tuesday that since last December, trade winds had weakened and there had been a significant warming of the waters below the surface in the central Pacific.
“While there is no guarantee this situation will lead to an El Nino event, the longer the trade winds remain weakened, and subsurface temperatures stay significantly warmer than average, the higher chances are," it said.
Two thirds of climate models predicted that the phenomenon would begin sometime between June and August, with one-fifth suggesting it could start as early as May, and the remaining predicting no El Nino this year, it said.
It is often followed by a return swing of La Nina, which is characterized by unusually cool ocean surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific.
"El Nino has an important warming effect on global average temperatures," Jarraud cautioned, stressing that combined with warming from greenhouse gases such events had "the potential to cause a sharp rise in global average temperature".
1. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that -'
A. a weather agency warned an "El Nino" would appear on Tuesday
B. WMO showed an El Nino would probably happen by June in 2016
C. an El Nino would bring heavy rainfall to the Pacific Ocean
D. The phenomenon of El Nino happens every seven years
2.What does the underlined phrase "this situation" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Cool ocean surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific.
B. A significant warming of the waters below the surface in the central Pacific.
C. Trade winds that circulate surface water in the Pacific.
D. Heavy rainfall in different areas all over the world.
3.According to the text, what might be the percentage of no "El Nino" this year?
A.13%. B.20%. C.67%. D.87%.

Yesterday I started the Year of Giving, my first day of a year-long journey into exploring the act of giving and the meaning of charity. I chose December 15 as the starting date, which marked three years since my mother died from heart disease. She was one of the most generous people that I have ever known. She always thought of others first and certainly serves as an inspiration to me.
I had a rather busy day yesterday, ironic(具有讽刺意义的) for someone who is unemployed right now. In the morning I went to the gym, and unsuccessfully got the phone call from the unemployment office for some job searching. Before I knew it, it was noon. I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed down to a meeting. On my way to Connecticut, I wondered if I would see someone that I would feel forced to give my first $10 to. I was running late and decided to do it afterwards.
After the meeting I had about half an hour to find the first person of my Year of Giving! I decided to check out Dupont Circle. I had met a guy there named Jerry once and thought he would willingly accept my first $10. He wasn’t there, but I did see a man sitting by himself who looked really lonely, so I approached him. Now I had to figure out what I was going to say. I think I said something like, “Hi, can I sit down here?” “I would like to know if I could give you $10?” He asked me to repeat what I had said. I did, then he looked at me funny, got up and left.
I then started walking south where I spotted a man standing by the bus stop on Connecticut Ave. He appeared to be in his 60s. I don’t know what drew me to him, but I thought I would make my second attempt. I was a bit nervous and asked him which bus came by that stop. Then I explained that I was starting a year-long project to give $10 to someone every day and that I wanted to give my $10 for today to him. The gentleman, I later found out that his name was Ed, responded without hesitation that he could not accept my offer and that there were many people more deserving the money than him. This was exactly one of the things that I hoped would happen. People would think of others before themselves!
1. The author set the starting date on December 15 to .
A. help the charity
B. remember his mother
C. make an exploration
D. fulfill a wish of his mum
2. In the author’s first attempt to give away the money， .
A. he was considered ridiculous
B. he hesitated for a long time

3.In the author’s second attempt, the gentleman refused his offer because .
A. he didn’t need others’ help
B. he thought more for others
C. he didn’t care about money
D. he wanted to get more money
4.We can infer that the author was inspired by .
A. true friendship B. his own kindness
C. generous donations D.human’s good nature
