四、阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)
A
| Coastal Cities at Risk
| Coastal cities around the globe are sinking(下沉) by up to several centimeters per year, on average, satellite observations show. The sinking land and rising seas mean that these coastal areas are at greater risk of flooding(洪水) than previously thought, researchers reported in the April 16 Geophysical Research Letters. |
| Solar Energy Matters |
| More and more scientists and engineers are beginning to believe that solar energy will become a major source of the world's future power. Recently, people are excited about building big solar farms that can compete with the power output of traditional stations. These solar farms will produce pollution - free energy. The hope is that they will eventually become the primary means of energy production globally. |
| Tropical(热带的) forests help cool Earth's temperature by over $1^{\circ}C$, says a new study. Most of this cooling (about two - thirds) happens because trees take in and store $CO_2$ from the air. The remaining cooling (about one - third) comes from other natural actions — like when trees give off water vapor (which helps make clouds that reflect sunlight) and aerosols (that can block heat). |
51. In which SECTION of the newspaper can we read the news?
A. COASTAL CITY.
B. GLOBAL SCIENCE.
C. SOLAR ENERGY.
D. MORE TREES.
52. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 has the same meaning as “
A. sometime before
B. finally
C. lately
D. at the same time
53. What can be inferred from the second piece of news?
A. Farms will be used for producing energy.
B. We will use up all the energy in the future.
C. Power stations will be taken place by solar energy.
D. Solar energy will play an important part in the future.
54. The best title for the third piece of news should be “
A. No Vapor, No Trees
B. No Trees, No Carbon
C. Forests Fight Heat
D. Nature Plays Tricks
55. What do all the pieces of news have in common?
A. They talk about cutting pollution.
B. They discuss about using technology.
C. They focus on saving energy.
D. They deal with environmental problems.

### 四、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）
#### A
| 面临风险的沿海城市 | 卫星观测显示，全球沿海城市平均每年下沉多达几厘米。研究人员在4月16日的《地球物理研究快报》中报告称，陆地的下沉和海平面的上升意味着这些沿海地区面临洪水的风险比之前认为的更大。 |
| --- | --- |
| 太阳能的重要性 | 越来越多的科学家和工程师开始相信，太阳能将成为世界未来能源的主要来源。最近，人们对建设大型太阳能发电场感到兴奋，这些发电场的发电量可以与传统电站相媲美。这些太阳能发电场将产生无污染的能源。人们希望它们最终将成为全球能源生产的主要方式。 |
| 热带森林有助于降低地球温度超过1℃ | 一项新的研究称，热带森林有助于降低地球温度超过1℃。这种降温的大部分（约三分之二）是因为树木吸收并储存空气中的二氧化碳。其余的降温（约三分之一）来自其他自然作用——比如树木释放水蒸气（这有助于形成反射阳光的云）和气溶胶（它们可以阻挡热量）。 |
51. 我们可以在报纸的哪个版块读到这些新闻？
A. 沿海城市。
B. 全球科学。
C. 太阳能。
D. 更多树木。
52. 第一段中划线的单词与“____”意思相同。
A. 以前的某个时候
B. 最终
C. 最近
D. 同时
53. 从第二条新闻中可以推断出什么？
A. 农场将被用来生产能源。
B. 我们将来会用完所有的能源。
C. 发电站将被太阳能取代。
D. 太阳能将在未来发挥重要作用。
54. 第三条新闻的最佳标题应该是“____”。
A. 没有水蒸气，就没有树木
B. 没有树木，就没有碳
C. 森林对抗炎热
D. 大自然耍把戏
55. 所有这些新闻有什么共同之处？
A. 它们谈论减少污染。
B. 它们讨论使用技术。
