Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】D

【3】B

【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了人們一直努力減少溫室氣體的排放，并設(shè)立了到2100年我們應(yīng)該達成的目標以及達成目標要符合的條件。

【1】D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段三至六句“Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto ......stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming.”可知自從20世紀早期開始人類就一直在努力減少溫室氣體的排放，希望能減緩全球變暖的趨勢。故D項正確。

【2】D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions;可知如果各國的氣體排放能夠符合巴黎協(xié)議的要求，到2100年氣溫會比現(xiàn)在高三度。而根據(jù)第三段To meet this minimum goal可知最小的目標是上升兩度。也就是說即使各國的氣體排放能夠符合巴黎協(xié)議的要求，也達不到最小的目標。故D正確。

【3】B 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段1.5℃This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃ could save them from sinking.可知對于那些低海拔的國家來說溫度上升不超過1.5度，就可以避免他們被淹沒。故B正確。
