The Threat to Kiribati

The people of Kiribati are afraid that one day in the not-too-distant future, their country will disappear from the face of the earth - literally. Several times this year, the Pacific island nation has been flooded by a sudden high tide. These tides, which swept across the island and destroyed houses, came when there was neither wind nor rain. "This never happened before," say the older citizens of Kiribati.

What is causing these mysterious high tides？ The answer may well be global warming. When fuels like oil and coal are being burned, pollutants (污染物) are released; these pollutants trap heat in the earth's atmosphere. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand and also create more water by melting glaciers (冰川) and polar (极地的) ice caps.

if the trend continues, scientists say, many countries will suffer. Bangladesh, for example, might lose one-fifth of its land. The coral (珊瑚) island nations of the Pacific, like Kiribati and the Marshall Islands, however, would face an even worse fate - they would be swallowed by the sea. The loss of these coral islands would be everyone's loss. Coral formations are home to more species than any other place on earth.

The people of these nations feel frustrated. The sea, on which their economies have always been based, is suddenly threatening their existence. They don't have the money for expensive technological solutions like seawalls. And they have no control over the pollutants, which are being released mainly by activities in large industrialized countries. All they can do is to hope that industrialized countries will take steps to reduce pollution.

第6题

Wise compromise is one of the basic principles and virtues of the British. If a continenta

l greengrocer asks 14 shillings (or crowns, or francs) for a bunch of radishes, and his customer offers 2, and finally they strike a bargain agreeing on 6 shillings, this is just the low continental habit of bargaining; on the other hand if the British dock-workers or any other workers claim a rise of 4 shillings per day, and the employers first flatly refuse even a penny, but after a six weeks' strike they agree to a rise of 2 shillings a day -- that is yet another proof of the British genius for compromise.

Bargaining is a repulsive habit; compromise is one of the highest human virtues -- the difference between the two being that the first is practiced on the Continent, the latter in Great Britain. The genius for compromise has another aspect, too. It has a tendency to unite together everything which is bad. English club life, for instance, unites the liabilities of social life with the boredom of solitude. An average English house combines all the curses of civilization with the ups and downs of life in the open. It's all right to have windows, but you must not have double windows because double would indeed stop the wind from blowing right into the room, and after all, you must be fair and give the wind a chance. It is a right to have central heating in an English home, except in the bathroom, because that is the only place where you are naked and wet at the same time, and you must give British germs a fair chance. The open fire is an accepted, indeed a traditional institution. You sit in front of it and your face is hot whilst your back is cold. It is a fair compromise between two extremes and settles the problems of how to burn and catch cold at the same time.

English spelling is a compromise between documentary expressions and an elaborate code-system; spending 3 hours in a queue in front of a cinema is a compromise between entertainment and asceticism; the English weather is a fair compromise between rain and fog; to employ an English charwoman is a compromise between having a dirty house Or cleaning it yourself; Yorkshire pudding is a compromise between a pudding and the country of Yorkshire.

The tone of the author in writing this passage is ______.

A．satirical

B．earnest

C．sincere

D．delightful

第8题

In the desert world, the seasons differ from one region to another. The Gohi ,which lies r

oughly between 35℃ and 55℃ north of the equator, is a good example of seasonal change.

Four seasons are characteristic of the Gobi: spring, summer, fall, and winter, with usually a false spring at the end of winter. These seasons are distinct, with extremes of temperature, as much as 150 between the hottest day in summer and the coldest day in winter.

Spring in the Gobi usually begins about the second week April. For 2 or 3 weeks there is a period of delightful weather, with warm, sunny days and not too much wind. But these are the days of false spring. About the first of May, the tail end of winter returns, and cold, blustery days of dustburdened winds are the rule then, until early or middle June. The latter part of June, for 2 or 3 weeks after the blowy end of winter is the real spring. It spreads its rather comfortable warmth over the desert, and occasional light rains help the desert grass to come along nicely.

July, or sometimes mid-June to mid-August is summer. Hot days are the rule, but the nights are cool. Wind and dust again govern the desert, but this is the season when hard rains, if they come at all, are most likely to dump water on the plains.

Fall usually may be recognized by the encouraging, bright days beginning in mid-August and lasting until mid-September or the first of October. This is the time of year when both men and beasts feel best in the Gobi. The clear air, bright sun, and frosty temperatures make you glad to be alive.

Winter comes with a rush anytime after the middle of September. One day you may be enjoying a pleasant temperature near the eighties. But suddenly the air cools. In a few hours the temperature has slipped below 50; and a little later cold rain changes to snow and blustering wind.

In this passage the author briefly describes ______.

A．the different seasonal changes

B．the effects of climatic change on msn and beasts

C．the Gobi as a terrible place to live in

D．the seasonal cycle of the Gobi
