高考英语二轮复习冲刺练习附答案

　　When I first heard about geocaching (地理寻宝),I was skeptical.But the more I thought about it,the more it seemed like an interesting idea.I at least wanted to try it once.

　　Having familiarized myself with how the game works,I set out in search of my first cache.My trip took me through a series of lively hutong (胡同),past a number of small temples,and right into the courtyard of a quiet youth hotel.I spent several minutes looking around,but couldn抰 find anything.Just before I was about to give up,I spotted a colorful object in the crack of a wall.Could it be the hidden cache?n

　　At that moment a group of backpackers arrived.According to the game抯 rules,people who are not in the game must not be allowed to find out about secret caches.So I pretended to make a phone call while waiting for them to leave.When the coast was clear,I griabbed the object.It was the cache! I opened it and pulled out a crumpled (皱的) sheet of paper with several names and celebratory messages written on it.I added my own and replaced the cache in its hiding place,ready for the next geocacher to find.

　　It may seem like a simple game,but the idea that there are caches hidden all around us is exciting.Once you抮e hooked,it抯 easy to set yourself the goal of finding every single cache in a neighborhood or even an entire city.The real treasure,however,is norit the cache itself,but the places it takes you to.

　　Hunting for further caches has since introduced me to places which I didn抰 even know existed.Some are peaceful parks,while others are forgotten historical sites.A few caches have even been in places I passed regularly without giving them any thought.Now,Ii feel a much closer connection.

　　It’s true that quite a few most respected scientific authorities have confirmed that the world is becoming hotter and hotter.There’s also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming.Countless recent reports have proved the same thing.For instance,a 2010 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that:揟he global warming over the last half-century has been caused mainly by human activity.?e

　　You may not believe that humans could change the planet抯 climate,but the basic science is well understood.Each year,billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity.As has been known for years,these gases holnd heat that would otherwise escape to space,wrapping the planet in an invisible (看不见的)blanket.

　　Of course,the earth’s climate has always been changing due to“natural”factors such as volcanic eruption or changes in solar,or cycles concerning the Earth’s going around the sun.According to the scientific research,however,the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere梟ot the warming we would expect from other possible causes.t

　　Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far,that would give birth to a difficult question.As Robert Henson puts it:揑f some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change,then why aren抰 carbonch dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be??The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths梠ne chwith human influence and one without.That obviously isn抰 possible,and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.m

　　29.In most scientists?opinion,the global warming is mainly caused byh　　　.

　　A.solar activity B.volcanic activity

　　C.natural factors D.human factors

　　30.The text is developed by　　　.

　　A.giving typical examples

　　B.following the order of space

　　C.analyzing a theory and arguing it

　　D.comparing and finding differences

　　31.The underlined word “identical” in the last paragraph probably means “　　　”.

　　A.totally different B.exactly the same

　　C.extremely important D.partly independent

　　32.Which of the following can be the best title?

　　A.Are All the Scientists Really Scientific?

　　B.Where Is Global Warming Leading Us to?

　　C.Are Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming?

　　D.What’s the Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases?

　　Dear Chris,

　　I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble fitting in at your new school. Such problems are quite normal. Perhaps the following suggestions may be helpful.

　　First, I think you may need to communicate with your classmates as much as possible. In this way, you will get to know each other better. Second, it might be a good idea for you to take part in more activities, which usually involve teamwork and interactions with other students and are therefore good for developing friendly relationships. Lastly, faced with some tough problems, you might consider asking your teachers, who can usually offer you some sensible suggestions.

　　I sincerely hope my advice will be of some help to you. If there is anything more I can do to help, please let me know.
