Question

【題目】 We all know that we need water to live. Up to 75% of our bodies is water and we need to drink water every day to be healthy! So what will happen to the Earth’s water if global warming （全球變暖）gets worse?

About 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. When the temperature of the Earth rises, the temperature of the water rises, too. Higher water temperatures will kill the underwater plants and tiny fish. But it’s not just the fish! Higher temperatures also have an influence on animals on land. Some scientists think that because of global warming, two thirds of the world’s polar bears will never be seen on our planet by 2050.

Global warming makes the weather change, too. In some places, there will be less rain. This will cause deserts to be larger. In other places, the rain will become very strong and heavy, so we will have less farmland and not enough food for humans.

Global warming is a big problem. But we can help by making small changes like turning off the water, lights, and TV when we aren’t using them!

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】About 71%.

【2】They will be killed. / Higher water temperatures will kill them.

【3】We can turn off the water, lights and TV when we aren’t using them.

【解析】

本篇講述地球變暖會給地球帶來怎樣的后果。水溫的升高會導致魚類和水中植物死亡、北極熊消失、大陸沙漠化、暴雨等災害性的天氣會導致農田減少。我們應該幫助改變這一狀況。

【1】根據(jù)第一段“About 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water.”可知地球表面大約71%覆蓋著水，故答案為About 71%.

【2】根據(jù)第二段“Higher water temperatures will kill the underwater plants and tiny fish.”可知水溫升高會殺死水下植物和小魚，故答案為They will be killed. / Higher water temperatures will kill them.

【3】根據(jù)第四段“But we can help by making small changes like turning off the water, lights, and TV when we aren’t using them”可知我們不用的時候可以把水、燈和電視關掉，故答案為We can turn off the water, lights and TV when we aren’t using them.

本篇任務型閱讀考查學生歸納概括能力和語篇能力；本篇考查文本表層理解，設定問題都是5W1H問題，解答時要根據(jù)題干關鍵詞——疑問詞來確定問題信息：題1 how much問多少；題2 what happen to問會發(fā)生什么事；題3 What small changes 問做什么改變；然后在原文中找出與題干對應的信息作答；解答完，要復讀文章，核實信息。
