Part III ReadingComprehension (40 points) Directions: There are fourreading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions.Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the correspondingletter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage one How might we stabilize the composition of the atmosphere? That questionlooms large in the eyes of scientists and political leaders as the levels ofcarbon dioxide grow. Carbon dioxide and methane have long lives in theatmosphere and, once they are there, Earth may be destined to become warmer. Ifwe find that the climate is becoming too warm, there is no easy or rapid way toremove the gases and return to an earlier climate pattern. We may be able to control fossil fuel use and rates ofdeforestation, but tere is no direct way to control the acceleration of decayexcept by stopping the warming. To stabilize the composition of the atmosphereimmediately, we would have to cut present release about 4 billion tons ofcarbon annually. It is not now possible to accomplish this without reducingboth defrestation and our comsumption of fossil fuels. Most scientists believe that if immediate global action is nottaken, the rapid increases of atmospheric carbon from decay will exceed thereductions made possible through controlof fossil fuel use and management of forests. In 1990, the United Nationsgathered many scientists from around the world to review these issues. Thisgroup, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, concluded that animmediate 60 percent reduction in fossil fuel use would be necessary. But byApril 1992, no nation had accepted the goal, though several had recognized aneed for reducing emissions by 20 percent. At the Earth Summit in June 1992, leaders from most industrializednations agreed in principle to return to earlier levels of carbon dioxideemissions --- though opposition from the United States prevented them fromagreeing to specific targets for emissions, as many scientist had hoped. Theleaders also agreed to assist developing nations in limiting their releases ofgreenhouse gases. Human beings are only one of millions of organisms sufficientlydifferent one another to be recognized as species. Unitl the 1980s,scientistsestimated that there were between 3 million and 10 million species on Earth.Then, scientists began to examine populations of insects living in the high foliage of trees in tropical forest, andthe experience caused them to increase their estimate to 30 million species.After scientists began to consider the populations of microorganisms in thetropics, the upper limit of their estimates rose to 100 million species. Weshall probably never have an accurate count of the different kinds of organismsthat share our planet. We do know, however, that these species --- plants and animalstogether --- keep the planet functioning as a habitat suitable for all. We alsoknow that human activities are reducing both the numbers of species on Earthand the potential of land and water for supporting them. This process iscommonly called biotic impoverishment --- the loss of the rich biological ofEarth. 41. The reason why it is not easyto correct global warming is that ______. A. most scientists and politicalleaders have not awakened to the severity of the problem B. deforestation is rampant inmany parts of the world C. there is no easy way to restorethe atmosphere to its normal state once damaged D. the United States is unwilling to cut down on its carbon dioxideemissions 42. To stop the global warming, we have to ______. A. cut both deforestation and useof fossil fuels B. remove carbon dioxide from theatmosphere C. find a new source of energyother than fossil fuel D. cut present releases to 4billion tons of carbon a year 43. It is implied that, at the 1992 Earth Summit,______ . A. many scientists had hopedspecific targets for emissions might be reached B. the U.S. showed itsunwillingness to reduce the level of carbon dioxide emissions C. several countries hadrecognized a need for reducing emissions by 20 percent D. most countries promised to cuttheir carbon dioxide emissions to earlier levels 44. Which of the following is true about specieson earth? A. There are about 100 million ofthem on earth. B. About one third of them arefound in tropical forest. C. The human population has wellexceeded that of other species. D. Human and other species areclosely linked for survival. 45. The text is mainly about ______ .
