阅读理解（本题10个小题,每小题2分,共20分。）。
A
Our climate is changing around the world. Because of man-made pollution, the earth is becoming warmer and warmer. The 1990s were the warmest ten years and the 20th century was the warmest century. There are many signs of the climate change around us.
In Europe, the glaciers (冰川) of the Alps are disappearing and the droughts in the Mediterranean are worse than before. Southern Spain is turning into desert. And, as ice melts, sea levels all over the world are rising. We are in danger because it will rain less because of the hot weather. In southeast England there used to be much rain. But the amount of rain will drop by half in the next 40 years. Fewer people may die from cold in winter. But many more could die from heat in summer. In the summer of 2003, about 20, 000 people died from heat in France and soon happened in Britain.
( )31. What makes the earth warmer and warmer？
A. The waste of water. B. The heat of summer. C. The heavy rain. D. Man-made pollution.
( )32. Which is one of the signs of the climate change？
A. The number of people in the world is growing. B. There is more snow than before.
C. There isn’t much water as before in the Mediterranean. D. It is very cold in winter.
( )33. What can cause the rise of sea levels？
A. The melting of ice. B. The reducing of rain. C. The cold weather. D. The strong wind.
( )34. When will the amount of rain in Southeast England drop by half？
A. Next year. B. Two years later. C. In the next thirty years. D. In the next forty years.
( )35. This passage is mainly about the
A. change of climate B. disappearance of glaciers C. pollution of the air D. droughts in the Mediterranean
B
A city without cars would be very strange, right But Venice is such a city.
Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn’t built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.
Even so, travel isn’t difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery（风光）and cool summer nights while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.
Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war over 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.
Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there’s nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.
Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt（融化).
Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water cones, more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy’s biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be build under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.
( )36. According to the passage, Venice is _______ of Italy.
A. in the northeast B. in the west C. in the southwest D. in the south
( )37. _______have always been the best way to go here and there in the city.
A. Taxis and cars B. The waterways C. 400 bridges D. Boats and rain shoes
( )38. Venice_______ small islands in saltwater lakes more than 1,500 years ago.
A. change into B. used to be C. became D. developed from
( )39. Which is NOT the reason why the city gets lower and lower？
A. The higher temperature. B. Overused underground water.
C. Too many waterways. D. The rising seawater.
( )40. The passage is mainly about _______ in Venice.
A. the waterways and bridges B. the MOST project and problems
C. the specials and problems D. the history and scenery
