A

A rising population is one of the main reasons of global warming. From 1930 to the end of the century the population rose from two billion to over six billion. It is expected that this trend in the changing population will continue. The growing population requires increasing amounts of energy. These energy demands and other supplies require production, which almost always involves the release of greenhouse gases. The more the population increases, the more greenhouse gases are produced and the greater increase in temperature.

The burning of fossil fuels is one of the causes for global warming. When fossil fuels burn, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide in the car then leads to global warming.

Another source of carbon dioxide comes from cutting trees. In forests there is enormous amount of carbon that is stored in the trees and other plants. This carbon is out of the atmosphere because the trees consume the carbon from carbon dioxide. When these trees are cut down, they are frequently burned.This burning releases the carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Even when new trees are planted, it can take up to one hundred years to supply the carbon that was released.It is commonly thought that because young trees absorb more carbon dioxide, the atmosphere experiences positive effects.

An uncommonly recognized source of global warming is from the agricultural industry. The rice paddies release methane which is one of the greenhouse gases. Fertilizers that are used for crops release another greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide.

Another reason is vaporization of water. The warmer the earth is, the more

water that vaporizes from the oceans to clouds. These clouds can either increase the temperature or decrease it. The increased amount of vapor in the atmosphere will affect the earth's temperature but it is not completely known how.

31. The people in the world are over ________ now. A．1 billion B．2 billion C．13 billion D．6 billion

32. The burning of fossil fuels releases________． A．methane B．carbon dioxide C．vapour D．nitrous oxide

33. Which of the following statements is not right? A．Agricultural industry doesn't affect global warming.

B．These clouds can either increase the temperature or decrease it. C．Burning trees releases the carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. D．The growing population requires increasing amounts of energy. 34. The passage is mainly to tell about ________． A. the reasons of global warming B．global warming

C．how to deal with the global warming D．the population of the world

Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict(冲突)．It was the first serious one between them in 40 years of farming peacefully side by side.In the end，they fell apart.

One morning, a man with a carpenter's toolbox came for some work.The elder brother said，“I just have a job for you.Look at that farm across the creek(河沟). My younger brother lives there.It was he who used his bulldozer(推土机)to dig the creek last week to spite(刁难)me.So I want you to build me a fence, an 8-foot-high fence, in order not to see his place any more.” The carpenter smiled and said，“I see.I'll try to do a job that satisfies you.” Then the elder brother went downtown.

At sunset when the farmer returned，the carpenter had just finished his job.The farmer's eyes opened wide!

He saw his younger brother coming to him with the hands outstretching.The brothers stood at each end of the bridge，and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands.They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days.I've a lot of other work for you，”said the elder brother.“I'd love to stay on，” the carpenter said，“but I have so many more bridges to build.”
