【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。
You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world's temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤離) of an island nation, the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.
During the 20th century, sea level rose 8~12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water that has polluted the country's drinking water.
Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.
Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (排放), which are a main cause of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years.” Laupepa told the BBC.
Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.
Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影響的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.
(1)What is the text mainly about?
A.Rapid changes in earth's temperature.
B.Bad effects of global warming.
C.A country moving to a new place.
D.Reasons for lowland flooding.
(2)According to scientists, what is the direct cause of more and fiercer storms?
A.Greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations.
B.Higher surface water temperatures of the sea.
C.Continuous global warming.
D.Rising sea levels.
(3)Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not ________.
A.agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions
B.believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real
C.allow Tuvaluans to move to the US
D.sign an agreement with Tuvalu
(4)The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is ________.
A.Australia
B.New Zealand
C.the Maldives
D.the United States

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Woman Uses Daughter's Key to "Steal" Car
Charlie Vansant, a college student of Athens, Ohio, who reported that his car was stolen, got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it for her daughter's car and taken it — using her key.
Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when picking up her daughter's car near an Ohio University building last week. Anderson spotted the Toyota Camry(豐田凱美瑞)and used her daughter's key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home — without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's.
When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldn't find a record of it, they took a theft(偷竊) report.
The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers. Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.
When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway, "It sounded really suspicious at first, as she wanted to hold the thing for ransom (贖金) , ” said Vansant. He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to the police report, the case was closed "because of mistaken car identity", and Anderson wasn't charged.
Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief". "Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition(點火裝置)as well — so high-five for Toyota, I guess." he said.
(1)What does the underlined word "towed" mean in paragraph 3?
A.sold

D.Mrs. Anderson used her daughter's key to unlock Charlie's car and drive home.
(3)What does Charlie mean by "high-five for Toyota"?
A.He should thank Toyota for returning his car.
B.He thinks highly of Toyota for producing large quantities of cars.
C.He wants to celebrate with Toyota for getting his car back.
D.He is blaming Toyota for the poor quality of car keys.
(4)What is likely to happen next according to the passage?
A.Mrs. Anderson was charged with stealing a car.
B.Charlie blamed Mrs. Anderson for mistakenly taking his car.
C.The Toyota Company would give Charlie a new car as compensation.
D.Charlie would ask the Toyota Company to give him an explanation.
