water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetableswithout urgent help, the countrys days are numbered but tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the seavenice, a historic city in italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24cm over the past 100 yearsexperts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050a century ago, stmarks square, the lowest point city, flooded about nine times a yearnowadays, it happens more than 100 timeswhile venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, global warming causes tuvalus rising sea level the average global temperature has increased by almost 05 centigrade degrees over the past century; scientists expect it rise by extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years warmer weather makes glaciers（冰川） melt, and adds more water to the oceanthe warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to risethe sea level has risen about 10-25 cm in the last 100 years the main cause of global warming is human pollutionthrough burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as co2this adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changesthe sea level could rise by one meter this century

causes the sea level to rised. there will be huge climate changes unless the warming is stoppedcin the year 1986 there was a terrible explosion. the explosion was at a nuclear power plant in another country called ukraine. the radiation(辐射) caused a lot of damage. it polluted the soil and other things. people lived in the area when the explosion happened. twenty years later those people are still

states are worried about the children living there. one group has been trying to raise money. they are called the chernobyl childrens project. they want to bring children from the ukraine to the u.s. each summer.a spokesperson for the group says that radiation is the highest in the summertime, so it is a good time to get the children out of the country. they want to help the children get away for

only mother nature knows when and where they are going to occur. even with modern technology it is still impossible to know exactly when or where one is going to occur. mountain climbers are wise to be careful, as avalanches kill many of them each year. the physics of how and why an avalanche occurs is complex. there are times of higher probability. during the year, the transition（转变 from winter to spring will cause some snow and ice to melt, which may trigger avalanches. also at daybreak there is a higher probability due to the temperature change .while climbers hike up slopes, some distance between the climbers should be kept. if an avalanche occurs, then there will be fewer lives lost and a higher probability that someone will be able to seek help. since an accident is more likely to happen when a top layer of snow is loose, avoid areas where heavy snow or rain has recently occurred. try to choose areas that you are familiar with and stay in areas with rocks, bushes and trees. trees and bushes allow snow to pile up and keep the layers stable. if an avalanche occurs, trees will take the impact of the snow, so there is a better chance of being safe. climbers must pay attention to the degree of the slope. avalanches wont occur on level ground and there is little snowfall on very steep areas. the greatest danger is in areas where the slope is between 25 and 40 degrees. remember that, if you get stuck in an avalanche, there is no car hire available to take you to the nearest airport. 33. what do we know from the first paragraph?a. many mountain climbers die of avalanches each year. b. of all the natural disasters, avalanches cause the greatest damage. c. most climbers who meet avalanches die for not paying enough attention to avalanches. with the development of science and technology, avalanches can now be predicted exactly. 34. the underlined word “trigger” in the second paragraph probably means “_”.a. make use of b. result in c. put an end to d. slow down35. why is there a higher probability that an avalanche occurs at daybreak?because daybreak is the coldest time of the day in the mountain. because it often snows heavily in the mountains at daybreak.because temperature changes at daybreak. because the top layer snow is loose at daybreak. 第二节 七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中又两项为多余选项。 efood is life; it
