There is a fierce debate over whether it is human activity which has caused this global warming and it is just a natural phenomenon.Many scientists believed that people have caused the increase in the earths temperature through the burning of fossil fuels. Some byproduct of this process are called “greenhouse” gases, the most importantly one being carbon dioxide.When they burn fossil fuels , we add huge quantities of extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The increased amount of carbon dioxide means that more heat energy is trapping in the atmosphere ，causing the global temperature to rise. Scientists believe that the burning of more and more fossil fuels has resulted at this increase in carbon dioxide.参考答案：During the 20th century the temperature of earth rose rapidly comparing to other the/Earth comparednatural changes.

Unusual incidents are being reported across the Arctic. Inuit(因纽特人) families going off on snowmobiles to prepare their summer hunting camps have found themselves cut off from home by a sea of mud. There are also reports of sea ice breaking up earlier than usual, carrying seals beyond the reach of hunters. Climate change may still be a rather abstract idea to most of us, but in the Arctic it is already having great effects-if summertime ice continues to shrink at its present rate, the Arctic Ocean could soon become almost ice-free in summer. The knock- on effects(连锁反应) are likely to include more warming, cloudier skies, and higher sea levels. Scientists are increasingly eager to find out whats going on in the Arctic.For the Inuit the problem is urgent. They live in unsteady balance with one of the environments on earth. Climate change, whatever its causes, is a direct danger to their way of life. Nobody knows the Arctic as well as the locals, which is why they are not content simply to stand back and let outside experts tell them whats happening. In Canada, where the Inuit people are trying hard to guard their hard-won autonomy in the countrys newest land, Nunavut, they believe their best hope of survival in this changing environment lies in combining their ancestral knowledge with the best of modern science. This is a challenge in itself.The Canadian Arctic is a vast, treeless polar desert thats covered with snow for most of the year. Adventure into this area and you get some idea of the hardships facing anyone who calls this home. Farming is out of the question and nature offers few pickings. Humans first settled in the Arctic a mere 4,500 years ago, surviving by taking advantage of sea first. The environment tested them to the limits: sometimes the settlers were successful; sometimes they failed and disappeared. But around a thousand years ago, one group appeared that was uniquely well adapted to deal with the Arctic environment. These Thule people moved in from Alaska, bringing dogs, iron tools and the like. They are the ancestors of todays Inuit people.Life for the descendants(后代) of the Thule people is still tough. Nunavut is 1.9 million square kilometers of rock and ice, and a handful of islands around the North Pole. Its currently home to 2,500 people, all but a handful of them Inuit. Over the past 40 years, most have abandoned their nomadic(游牧的) ways and settled in the areas 28 isolated communities, but they still rely heavily on nature to provide food and clothing.Supplies available in local shops have to be flown into Nunavut on one of the most costly air networks in the world, or brought by supply ship during the few ice-free weeks of summer. It would cost a family around 7,000 a year to replace meat they obtained themselves through hunting with imported meat. Economic opportunities are few, and for many people state benefits are their only income.63. The Inuit people believe the way to deal with the climate change problem is.A. to change their way of lifeB. to do as their ancestorsC. To try to protect the environment from now onD. to use their ancestral knowledge and modern science64. It can be concluded from Paragraph 3 that .A. the first settlers in the Arctic survive there quite easilyB. its hard to farm in the Arctic due to climate changeC. the ancestors of the new people stood out among the settlersD. the Thule people from Alaska invented iron tools65. What may be the main reason of Inuits low income?A. Their nomadic ways of lifeB. Their conservative thought.C. The severe environment they live in.D. The natural disasters.66. Which of the following is the best title for this text?A. Climate Change and the InuitB. Climate Change around the ArcticC. Global Warming around the WorldD. The Inuit and Their Ancestors around the World参考答案：63. D 64. C 65. C 66. A本文讲述的是气候变化和因纽特人之间的关系。无论它的原因是什么，气候变化都是对他们生活方式的直接威胁。【63题详解】D细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句they believe their best hope of survival in this changing environment lies in combining their ancestral knowledge with the best of modern science.可知，因纽特人相信解决气候变化问题的方法是利用他们的祖先知识和现代科学。故选D。【64题详解】C推理判断题。根据第三段中around a thousand years ago, one group appeared that was uniquely well adapted to deal with the Arctic environment. These Thule people moved in from Alaska, bringing dogs, iron tools and the like. They are the ancestors of todays Inuit people.可知，从第3段可以得出结论，新人类的祖先在定居者中脱颖而出。故选C。【65题详解】C推理判断题。根据第三段中The environment tested them to the limits: sometimes the settlers were successful; sometimes they failed and disappeared.可知，因纽特人收入低的主要原因是他们所处的恶劣环境。故选C。【66题详解】A主旨大意题。根据第二段第一、二句For the Inuit the problem is urgent. They live in unsteady balance with one of the environments on earth. Climate change, whatever its causes, is a direct danger to their way of life.可知，对于因纽特人来说，这个问题很紧迫。他们与地球上的一个环境保持着不稳定的平衡。气候变化，无论它的原因是什么，都是对他们生活方式的直接威胁。故A项为本文主题。22. When you put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. Its time to enjoy yourselves!There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts. High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. Its to mark the time kids turn into young men and women. After the prom(毕业舞会), teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres (a small collection of flowers they pin to their jackets). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly color1 ed materials.Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning (加冠) of a prom king and queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school.High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure cruise boat.But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip-hop.The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honors that the pair take very seriously. The two dance with each other to celebrate their election.Sometimes teachers and
