Question

【题目】Global warming happens when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun in the earths atmosphere, which increases the temperature. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a hot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car, by going through the windows，but it can’t get back out. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth .The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it can’t get out. As a result，the temperature rises.

Sometimes the temperature can change in a way that helps us. The greenhouse effect makes the earth appropriate for people to live on. Without it，the earth would be freezing，or it would be burning hot. It would be freezing at night because we would not get the sun’s heat and light .During the day, especially during the summer, it would be burning because the sun would be up with no atmosphere to filter(过滤)it，so people，plants，and animals would be exposed to all the light and heat.

Although the greenhouse effect makes the earth able to have people living on it，if there gets to be too many gases，the each can get unusually warmer, and many plants，animals．and people will die. Plants would die because they would not be able to take the heat .This would cause us to have less food to eat,and it would also limit the food that animals have. With less food for the animals that we need to/span> survive we would even have less food. Gradually,people，plants，and animals would all die of hunger．

People are doing many things to try to stop global warming .One thing is carpooling—driving with someone to a place that you are both going to. Another thing is being more careful about leaving electrical devices turned on. Now,more people are even riding buses or bikes to lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the air .Although adults do many things to help stop global warming,kids call do just as much.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】C

【4】D

【5】A

【解析】

试题分析：文章主要讲述温室效应产生的原因以及温室效应对人类的利和弊 。

【1】A细节理解题。根据文章第一段作者给出浅显易懂的例子，其目的是给读者解释全球变暖的原因。故A正确。

【2】B词义推测题。根据文章第二段it的前一句The greenhouse effect makes the earth appropriate for people to live on可知此处的it代指greenhouse。故B正确。

【3】C细节理解题。根据文章第二段Without it，the earth would be freezing，or it would be burning hot.可知大气使得地球不热也不冷，故C正确。

【4】B主旨大意题。根据文章第三段首句Although the greenhouse effect makes the earth able to have people living on it，if there gets to be too many gases，the each can get unusually warmer, and many plants，animals．and people will die.可以得出答案。故B正确。

【5】A推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的最后一句Although adults do many things to help stop global warming, kids call do just as much.可以推测出下一段要写的内容。故A正 确。
