高中英语《Unit 4 Global warming》阅读训练 新人教版选修61 Global Warming Section A 本文词数:302 参考时间:2\'40\'\' Rising temperatures in coming years would lead to le sea ice in the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica and fewer habitats and feeding grounds for penguins, says the World Wildlife Fund (世界自然基金会) in its report 2 Degrees is Too Much. Antarctica and the Arctic are the most threatened regions from climate change.In the Antarctica, the temperature has risen 2.5 degrees in the past 50 years.This speed is nearly five times faster than that before the Industrial Revolution.It is mainly caused by burning foil fuels.Unle nations reduce carbon dioxide emiion1, the world will warm by an average of 2 degrees in le than 40 years.Rich nations should agree to reduce greenhouse gas emiion.Temperatures near the Poles 23have risen much faster, which has led glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula to melt quickly. The situation is quite critical, because in the past 50 years the number of emperor penguins (帝企鹅) has decreased by 50 percent acro the whole Antarctica.On the Antarctic Peninsula’s northwest coast, the number of Adelie penguins (阿德里企鹅) has dropped surprisingly over the past 25 years. Fifty percent of the habitats of the emperor penguin and 75 percent of the habitats of the Adelie penguin face a rapid reduction, or even disappearance, if the global temperature rises 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels. With a 2-degree increase in global temperature and the decrease in sea ice thickne, emperor penguins will find it difficult to find new areas to live.With le sea ice, penguins could be pushed further south, but this could prevent them from hunting for food during the dark winters, because they need at least a few hours of daylight to find their food.Notes: 1.emiion n.排放 2.glacier n.冰川 3.melt v.溶化 词数:150处理时间:2′45″ Read the paage and then choose the best answer for each question.1.The purpose of the paage is to _____.A.introduce readers to the Adelie penguins and emperor penguins B.tell readers about the rising temperatures in the Antarctica C.tell readers about the effect of global warming D.warn people that Antarctica is becoming smaller and smaller 2.In the writer’s opinion, what has caused global warming?
