C

A crisis is on the way．Global warming? The world economy? No，the decline of reading．People are just not doing it anymore，especially the young．Who’s responsible? What is responsible? The Internet，of course，and everything that comes with it—Facebook，Twitter，etc..

There’s been a warning about the coming death of literate civilization for a long time．In the 20th century，first it was the movies，then radio，then television that seemed to end the written world．None did．Reading survived；in fact it not only survived，it has developed better．The world is more literate than ever before — there are more and more readers．and more and more books．

The fact that we often get our reading material online today is not something we should worry over．The electronic and digital revolution of the last two decades has arguably shown the way forward for reading and for writing．Interconnectivity allows for the possibility of a reading experience that was barely imaginable before．Where traditional books had to make do with photographs and illustrations，an e-book can provide readers with an unlimited number of links：to texts，pictures，and videos．

On the other hand，there is the danger of trivialization(碎片化)．One Twitter group is offering its followers single-sentence-long“digests”of the great novels．War and Peace in a sentence? You must be joking．We should fear the fragmentation(碎片)of reading．There is the danger that the high-speed connectivity of the Internet will reduce our attention span—that we will be incapable of reading anything of length or which requires deep concentration．

In such a fast-changing world，in which reality seems to be remade each day，we need the ability to focus and understand what is happening to us．This has always been the function of literature and we should be careful not to let it disappear．Our society needs to be able to imagine the possibility of someone entirely in pace with modern technology but able to make sense of a dynamic，confusing world．

1.In Paragraph 2，we can learn 　　　　　　 ．

A．the disappearance of traditional books

B．the development of human civilization

C．the historical challenges for reading

D．the birth of pioneering e-books

2.According to the passage，the advantage of e-books is　　　　　　 ．

A．1imited link

B．imaginative design

C．low cost

D．varied contents

3.How does the author feel towards single-sentence-long novels?

A．Doubtful　　　　　　　 B．Worried

C．Shocked　　　　　　　　 D．Hopeful

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Technology is an opportunity and a challenge for traditional reading．

B．Technology pushes the way forward for reading and writing．

C．Interconnectivity is a feature of new reading experience．

D．Technology offers a greater variety of reading practice．

Global warming is when the earth heats up，the temperature rises.It happens when greenhouse gases—carbon dioxide，water vapor，nitrous oxide(二氧化氮)，and methane(沼气) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere，which increases the temperature.This is like when heat is trapped in a car.On a very hot day，the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot.This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car，by going through the windows，but it can’t get back out.Once the light is inside the car，it is trapped and the heat builds up，just like it does in the earth’s atmosphere.This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth.The heat and light can get through the atmosphere，but it can’t get out.As a result，the temperature rises.

Sometimes the temperature can change in a way that helps us.The greenhouse effect makes the earth appropriate for people to live on.Without it，the earth would be freezing，or on the other hand it would be burning hot.We would not get the sun’s heat and light to make the night somewhat warm.During the day，especially during the summer，it would be burning because the sun would be up with no atmosphere to filter(过滤) it，so people，plants，and animals would be exposed to all the light and heat.

Although the greenhouse effect makes the earth able to have people living on it，if there gets to be too many gases，the earth can get unusually warmer，and many plants，animals，and people will die.They would die because there would be less food (plants like corn，wheat，and other vegetables and fruits)．This would happen because the plants would not be able to take in the heat.This would cause us to have less food to eat，but it would also limit the food that animals have.Gradually，people，plants，and animals would all die of hunger.

People are doing many things to try to stop global warming.One thing people are doing is carpooling.Carpooling is driving with someone to a place that you are both going to.This minimizes the amount of greenhouse gases put into the air by a car.

Another thing that people are doing is being more careful about leaving things turned on like the television，computer，and the lights.A lot of people are taking time away from the television，and instead，they are spending more time outdoors.This helps our planet out a lot.Now，more people are even riding buses，walking to school，and riding their bikes to lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the air.

Planting trees and recycling also help.If you recycle，less trash goes to the dump，and less trash gets burned.As a result，there are fewer greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.Although adults do many things to help stop global warming，kids can do just as much.

1.By the example given in Paragraph 1，the author wants to ________.

A．explain how greenhouse gases work

B．show his feeling in a car in hot summer

C．tell us cars are causes of greenhouse gases

D．say that there are greenhouse gases in every car

2.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to “________”．

A．light　                                 B．heat

C．temperature　                             D．greenhouse effect

3.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A．If there is greenhouse effect，all the plants will die.

B．Human beings are likely to disappear from the earth.

C．Crops can’t take the heat if there is greenhouse effect.

D．Although greenhouse effect is necessary，too much of it causes us to die.

4.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A．Why cars and buses pollute the air a lot.

B．What kids can do to help stop global warming.

C．What global warming is doing to the environment.

D．Who should be responsible for the environmental problems.
