【題目】You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature. But, rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤離) of an island nation—the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.

During the 20th century, sea level rose 8—12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country’s drinking water.

Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.

Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreements the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC.

Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries, Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影響的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.

【4】C

【解析】試題分析：本文主要講述的是全球變暖導(dǎo)致海平面上升，讓一些海洋中的島國(guó)深受其害。呼吁我們對(duì)此采取措施。

【1】B 主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation（撤離）of an island nation—the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.說(shuō)明全球變暖不僅僅是穩(wěn)定升高；而且海平面的上升更是讓很多的島國(guó)都遇見(jiàn)了很大的困難，故B項(xiàng)正確。

【2】B 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第三段最后2行Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.

說(shuō)明表層海水的穩(wěn)定升高是主要的問(wèn)題，故B正確。

【4】C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后一段Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable （易受影響的）to rising sea levels .Maumoon Gayoon ,president of the Maldives ,told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.說(shuō)明Maldives這個(gè)國(guó)家和Tuvalu遇見(jiàn)了相似的難題。故C項(xiàng)正確。

【題目】There are so many things we do in our daily lives that have become a "habit".【1】How you answer the phone is a habit. The way you sit in the car when you drive is a habit. Have you ever tried to change the way you do something, after you ve done it in a certain way for so long? It's not very easy to do. The minute your mind drifts to something else, you go right back to the old way of doing things.【2】it's a way of doing things that has become routine or commonplace. To change an existing habit or form a new one can be a boring task.

Let's pick something fairly easy to start with, like spending 15 minutes in the morning reading a book. If you want to turn something into a habit that you do every day, you have to WANT to do it.【3】Make a firm decision to do this on a daily basis.

Imprint it in your mind. Write several notes to yourself and put them in places where you will see them. By the alarm clock, on the bathroom mirror, on the refrigerator door, in your briefcase, and under your car keys are good places to start.

After the newness wears off, then you will have to remind yourself, "Hey, I forgot to..." Keep using the notes if you have to.【4】Some people say it will take over a month to solidify it and make it something you will do without having to think about it. I tend to agree with the last statement. Two to three weeks will help you to remember, but thirty days or more will make it a part of your everyday routine.【5】

A. What is a "habit" anyway?

B. Forming a bad habit is easy.

C. Brushing your teeth is a habit.

D. Is doing things in an old way good?

E. If you don't, you will find a way to do everything but that.

F. It takes 16 to 21 times of repeating a task to make it a habit.

G. that's something you won't necessarily have to think about before you do it—habit.

【題目】Small islands that bear the brunt of rising sea levels also face the greatest risk of diseases linked to a warmer planet, health leaders said on Saturday, as 13 million medical professionals added to the calls for a global climate pact.

Hundreds of thousands more people will die every year from heat stroke and tropical illnesses unless negotiators in Paris can agree a strong global deal to decrease global warming the Global Climate and Health Alliance said.

The Would Health Organization has warned that the effects of extreme weather on the fight against malnutrition, malaria and diarrhea alone will account for an extra 250,000 premature deaths a year by 2030.

“In the case of small island states like Tuvalu, the health impacts of climate change are palpable,” said the island’s health minister.

“When we are talking about climate change, this is important for the future health of our people, and people everywhere.”

John Usamate, health minister for Fiji, said the island was suffering from climate-related diseases such as dengue fever and chikungunya, a disease transmitted by mosquitoes and unknown in Fiji.

“As the climate changes, we are seeing new infectious diseases and many other health impacts,” he said.

The Global Climate and Health Alliance groups more than 1,700 health organizations and 8,200 hospitals and health facilities.

It is said it had collected 13 million signatories（簽字者）from its members, wanting to come to a medical agreement on the need to fight against global warming.

Even without the wider effects of climate change, air pollution from fossil fuels, especially from coal-fired electricity and vehicle emissions（排放）, is a major cause of early death.

In the European Union, more than 400,000 early deaths a year are linked to air pollution that cause respiratory disease and some forms of cancer, the European Commission has found.

【1】What is the possible result of global warming?

A. Many small islands will appear.

B. Many cars will be banned driving.

C. The sea level will continually decrease.

D. Many people will die from climate-related diseases.

【2】Why did so many people join together?

A. To fight against global warming.

B. To fight off climate-related diseases.

C. To decrease the effects of climate change.

D. To force the government to take measures.

【3】What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A. Cancer is a disease caused by air pollution.

B. More than 400,000 people die each year in Europe.

C. Climate change is the main cause of many diseases.

D. No air pollution, no deaths.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to prevent climate change.

B. How to prevent emission of harmful gases.

C. The effect that climate change has on health.

D. Measures to prevent air pollution.
