A new study warns that millions of Europeans could die from heat-related causes by the end of the century. The study was based on predicted climate activities in 854 different European cities. It found that hot weather could kill as many as 2.3 million people in Europe by 2100.
Presently, cold weather kills far more people in Europe than hot weather. But the study found that as temperatures continue to rise, deaths from cold weather will reduce over time. However, heat-related deaths are predicted to rise greatly.
The researchers said the number of predicted deaths could be reduced if nations were able to find better ways of cutting down carbon (碳) pollution levels. They called for increased efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and develop air-cooling systems in parts of Europe. Without such efforts, places in Italy, southern Spain and Greece are likely to see large increases in heat deaths related to climate change.
On the other hand, much of Scandinavia and Britain are predicted to see fewer cold-related deaths, largely because low temperatures are expected to be moderate.
Pierre Masselot helped lead the research of the environmental effects on human health. “The Mediterranean (地中海) is a so-called climate hotspot,” he said. “It’s an area that is warming much quicker than the rest of the world. And Malta is right in the middle of it.” The study predicts Malta’s temperature-related deaths will increase by 269 in every 100,000 people by the end of the century.
European officials reported several heat waves had killed thousands of people in recent years. The highest number was in 2003 when about 70,000 deaths were recorded. Among the areas predicted to see the most deaths from future temperature rises is Barcelona, Spain. The study found almost 250,000 people could die from temperature-related causes in that city by 2100.
1. What can we infer(推断) from the article?
A. Temperatures in Europe are keeping on going up now.
B. The whole of Europe will face the danger of hot weather.
C. The study has researched enough actual climate activities.
D. About 854 European cities are suffering from hot weather.
2. Which paragraph talks about how to reduce the heat-related deaths?
A. Paragraph 3.
B. Paragraph 4.
C. Paragraph 5.
D. Paragraph 6.
3. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “moderate”?
A. Freezing.
B. Heated.
C. Changeable.
D. Comfortable.
4. What can be the best title(标题) for the article?
A. Dangers will come at the end of the century
B. Barcelona will be hit by heat-related deaths
C. Millions of Europeans face deadly heat risks
D. Actions are needed to reduce carbon pollution

答案
主题时文阅读
[语篇解读] 本文主要讲述了一项研究预测到21世纪末数百万欧洲人可能因高温而死亡，该项研究分析了气候变化对不同地区的影响并呼吁人们减少碳污染。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But the study found that as temperatures continues to rise, deaths from cold weather will reduce over time.”可知，欧洲的气温在持续升高。故选A。
2.A 段落大意题。根据第三段中的“The researchers said the number of predicted deaths could be reduced if...and develop air-cooling systems in parts of Europe.”可知，第三段谈论了可以通过减少碳污染和开发空气冷却系统来减少与高温相关的死亡人数。故选A。
3.D 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的前半句可知，斯堪的纳维亚半岛的大部分地区和英国与寒冷有关的死亡人数将减少，故可推测低温将会变得适中。和moderate意思最接近的是comfortable。故选D。
4.C 最佳标题题。文章主要讨论了到21世纪末数百万欧洲人可能面临与高温相关的死亡危险，并详细分析了不同地区的情况。因此，C项“Millions of Europeans face deadly heat risks”最能概括文章的核心内容。故选C。
