Question

The Earth has warmed by about half a degree（0.50℃）over the last 100 years. It could be getting warmer on its own, but many scientists think that people are making the Earth warmer by making a greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is important.  Without it, the Earth would not be warm enough for us to live on. But just a little warmer than it is now could cause problems for humans, plants and animals.
Many of the things we do every day can change the Earth’s temperature by sending greenhouse gases into the air. We send greenhouse gases into the air when we watch TV, turn on lights, dry hair, play video games, wash or dry our clothes or drive cars. The rubbish from factories and homes also produces greenhouse gases.
Even a small change in temperature can affect our weather. This can cause changes in the sea levels, the air, flooding, and our fresh water.
The change in the temperature can also cause changes in the living places for animals and plants, endangering many animals.
Global warming is a big problem, and every little bit we do can help. We can save electricity. We can save energy in other ways such as by taking buses or walking rather than driving cars. We can recycle to reduce the rubbish and save natural resources such as trees, oil and metals. We can buy products that don’t do bad to the environment and we can turn to solar energy. Remember the little bit that you do will bring a better world.

小題5: Global warming is a big problem but ___________ .

A．we can't do anything to help	B．we don't need to do anything
C．we can do something to help	D．we can do something to stop it

Answer 1

小題1:D
小題2:B
小題3:B
小題4:D
小題5:C

試題分析：本文主要講述人們通過溫室效應使地球更溫暖。在我們的日常生活中如當我們看電視、開燈、吹干頭發、玩電子游戲、洗或甩干我們的衣服或者是開車的時候，我們把二氧化碳輸送到大氣中。全球變暖是一個大問題，一定要引起我們人類的重視。
小題1:細節理解題。根據We send greenhouse gases into the air when we watch TV, turn on lights, dry hair, play video games, wash or dry our clothes or drive cars（當我們看電視、開燈、吹干頭發、玩電子游戲、洗或甩干我們的衣服或者是開車的時候，我們把二氧化碳輸送到大氣中。）可知，本題選D。
小題2:細節理解題。根據people are making the Earth warmer by making a greenhouse effect（人們通過溫室效應來時地球更溫暖）可知，本題選B。
小題3:細節理解題。根據Without it, the Earth would not be warm enough for us to live on（沒有它，地球將不夠溫暖以致我們不能居住）可知，本題選B。
小題4:細節理解題。根據We can save energy in other ways such as by taking buses or walking rather than driving cars（我們可以用其他方式來節約能量，例如坐公共汽車或者步行，而不是開汽車）可知，本題選D。
小題5:細節理解題。根據Global warming is a big problem, and every little bit we do can help（全球變暖是一個大問題，我們做的每一點可以幫助）可知，本題選C。
