Ⅱ. 阅读理解
【科普报道类】
Based on new analysis,we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe.Geographers predict that within the next eighty years,current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear.Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter,forcing animals to migrate(迁徙) north.
Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases.Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense.If the changes come too quickly,animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.
According to Science Daily,a new study predicts that by the year 2100,many of today’s familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today’s world.It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world.The planet itself has been showing signs of change.In 2004,a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008,thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake.Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Nepal was nearly destroyed in 2015 by yet another massive earthquake.
Within just the last few months,new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought.At this point,it doesn’t matter what is causing it,but rather,what can be done about it.What’s more,our world is getting more and more unstable every year.There is war and threat of war everywhere.Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.
However,other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this.No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for invite me to the summer English course in your school. As for your choice between the two courses,I prefer the four-week course because this will allow me more time to do some traveling but make a few new friends. Of all the subject I’m learning at school,I like English well. I had been learning English for eleven years but my spoken English remains poorly. So I really hope to take this chance improve it. If possible,I’d like to stay with a family for a couple of days in order that I can know some customs in England,that I’m particularly interested in. I believe I will have wonderful time this summer.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
【答案及解析】
第一句中:invite→inviting for为介词,接v.-ing形式作宾语。
第二句中:your→my 是“我”选择课程,而不是“你”。
but→and 两种行为表示并列,而不是转折。
第三句中:subject→subjects subject为可数名词,有all修饰,故用复数。
well→best,此处应该用最高级。
第四句中:had→have 到现在为止,学习英语已有11年,故用现在完成时态。
poorly→poor remains为系动词,接形容词作表语。
第五句中:chance后加to take this chance to do sth.借此机会做某事。
第六句中:第二个that→which that不引导非限制性定语从句。
第七句中:have后加a have a wonderful time意为“玩得高兴”。
