　　Polar-ice meltdownSome scientists warn that ice near the Earth’s Poles may indeed be melting. This “polar meltdown” may be the first sign that the Earth is heating up. We could be in very serious trouble if this trend continues. It is estimated that a meltdown of as little as 10 percent of Antarctica’s ice would raise sea levels around the globe by 4 to 9 meters. Floods would cover low-lying regions and turn coastal cities like New York and New Orleans into real life underwater world.Scientists first predicted in the 1970s that heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere could cause a polar meltdown. Many now believe that human activities are turning up the heat. When we burn fossil fuels like coal and oil, we add carbon dioxide(CO2) gas to the Earth’s atmosphere. Cutting down trees also makes CO2 levels raise because trees normally soak up CO2 to make food. Scientists say higher CO2 levels strengthen the “greenhouse effect” and could increase the Earth’s temperature. In fact, CO2 levels have risen by 30 percent since the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries.Over the past three years, satellite measurements have shown a sea level rise of about a quarter inch worldwide. “If nothing is done to reduce fossil-fuel pollution and global warming, sea levels will rise even more.” says geologist Richard Alley.But even Alley admits that a polar meltdown would take time. The ice in Antarctica and Arctic locks up nearly nine times the volume of water contained in all the world’s rivers and lakes. These are such big “ice cubes” and it would probably take thousands of years to melt them.Another scientist Charles Bentley doesn’t think a meltdown will happen at all. “Even if warmer temperatures begin to melt polar-ice,” he says, “the excess moisture would most likely be redeposit as snow.” In other words, the melted ice would evaporate into the atmosphere, refreeze, and fall as rain and snow over the Poles.

　　1. What consequence of global warming is mentioned in the -font-weigpassage?

　　A. More tropical storms. B. More tropical diseases.

　　C. Changes in farm productivity. D. Coastal flooding.

　　2. Which of the following statements does the second paragraph support?

　　A. CO2 in the atmosphere cannot keep the heat from escaping into space.

　　B. The increase of CO2 gas may warm the planet and help to melt polar ice.

　　C. Cutting down trees helps to greatly reduce CO2 levels.

　　D. The end of the short-lived age of fossil fuels is already in sight.

　　3. Geologist Richard Alley most likely agrees that _______.

　　A. the sea-level rise can be prevented by cutting back on energy-consuming activities

　　B. the recent breaking off of ice blocks from Antarctica is just a natural part of a long-term cycle

　　C. Antarctica temperatures have significantly changed since the Industrial Revolution

　　D. the polar meltdown may be an accidental change of climate rather than a sign of global warming

　　4. Charles Bentley believes that a polar meltdown will not occur because _______.

　　A. governments around the world are beginning to reduce CO2 levels in the air

　　B. a melting of the polar ice cannot be achieved with the present technologies

　　C. the melted ice in the polar areas would change into snow and rain over the Poles

　　D. the sun’s heat would have no chance of being absorbed by the polar ice

　　5. In which paragraph does the author mention the immense quantities of polar ice?

　　A. In the second paragraph. B. In the third paragraph.

　　C. In the fourth paragraph. D. In the fifth paragraph.

　　The United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its findings on the safety of cloned animals.

　　The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult cattle, pigs and goats are safe to eat. An F.D.A. official called them as safe to eat as the food we eat every day. And when those clones reproduce sexually（有性繁殖）, the agency says, their offspring（后代） are safe to eat as well. But research on cloned sheep is limited. So the F.D.A. proposes that sheep clones not be used for human food.

　　The United States this year could become the first country to approve the sale of foods from cloned animals. First, however, the public will have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents. On December 28th the F.D.A. released a long report, called a draft risk assessment, along with two policy documents.

　　The agency says it must receive comments by April second. The F.D.A. seemed ready to act several years ago, but an advisory committee called for more research.

　　For now, the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they not sell foods from cloned animals.

　　Clones are still rare. They cost a lot and are difficult to produce.

　　The F.D.A. says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves, but from their sexually reproduced offspring. It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.

　　Public opinion studies show most Americans do not like the idea of food from cloned animals. But this research also shows the public knows little about cloning.

　　Cloning differs from genetic engineering. A cell taken from a so-called donor animals is grown into an embryo（胚胎）in the laboratory. Next, the embryo is placed into the uterus（子宫）of a female animal. If the process is successful, the pregnancy reaches full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.

　　1. From the passage we know that .

　　A. foods from cloned animals are popular in America

　　B. cloned adult animals are safe to eat except sheep.

　　C. cloned animals will be easy to produce

　　D. most foods from cloning is expected to take place of other foods

　　2.The main purpose of the text is to .

　　A. tell a interesting story B. give some advice on foods

　　C. give a report D. compare different opinions

　　3. Who believe that foods from cloning are safe to eat?

　　A. Most Americans B. An advisory committee

　　C. Critics D. The F.D.A.

　　4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .

　　A. cloning has much in common with genetic

　　B. not every cell taken from a donor animal can grow into a genetic copy

　　C. the donor animal should be a female one

　　D. cloned animals grow faster than normal ones

　　答案及解析：

　　1.B.推理判断题。从文中第二段可推出。

　　2.C.主旨大意题。本篇文章是关于克隆食物的安全问题的报道。

　　3.D.事实细节题。从“The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult cattle, pigs and goats are safe to eat.…”可知。

　　4.B. 推理判断题。从最后一段“If the process is successful, the pregnancy reaches full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.”可知答案。
