全國英語等級考試三級模擬題：閱讀理解（二）

The greenhouse effect might be causing the change,but it's a cycle that's been tracked for about a hundred years and in the past 20 years or so it just stopped cycling.And this is only affecting a small part of the world.People talk about greenhouse effect because they want to show how much concern they have about the future of the world.Don't be as silly as them.

Kac:

Spring just hits here,too.It's so nice--windows open,the fresh air of changing seasons just lights me up.When I was younger this was the season for walking through the melting snow and ice,across roadsides,through square acre forests among the fields,I got so excited to be out in the wild.It's tough to be in the city this time of year.Maybe I'11 go camping soon!

Sofia:

In the city you don't have seasons.Spring rain does not make man-made structure grow,and wet roads are not inconvenient for you because you can move around in your car.Summer's heat is no longer a problem and air-conditioning makes your rooms cool as autumn.The colors of the city don't change because nature is not powerful enough to change them as she changes the color of woods.Winter snow leaves nothing white but muddy roads.

harno:

Snow in Georgia is a funny thing.We have been having 24 hours weather news on the TV for the past week,just because there is a threat of snow.Schools have closed based on these predic-tions,and all we got was rain.But the rule is that if it sticks to the ground,school is canceled.It would be a great excuse to get the day off.People rush to the grocery store to buy milk and bread--I don't know why,but they do.When I was growing up here we used to get one or two big snow-falls a year,but there has not been any for the last few.Damn global wanning.

Maeland:

It's been so nice.I am of the firm belief that in February we get the day like cool autumn season in November...In February it's like a warm period that's been getting stronger and longer every year since my boyhood,and it gets defeated by the final blowing snowstorm of March at least once,but any-one can survive those snowstorms,since we all know they'11 be gone in a few days.

參考譯文：

下面幾段文字談?wù)摿藲夂虻淖冞w情況及各自對比的觀點。

詹尼弗：

溫室效應(yīng)可能是造成這種變化的原因，但是這是一個追溯到l00年前的循環(huán)，并且在過去20年左右的時間里，這種循環(huán)停止了，這只影響了世界的一小部分，人們談?wù)摐厥倚?yīng)是因為他們想顯示自己有多關(guān)心世界的未來，不要像這些人一樣愚蠢。

凱樂：

春天也來到這里了，這多美啊——打開窗戶，換季的新鮮空氣使我快樂。在我更小一些的時候，這個季節(jié)里我常常踩著正在融化的冰雪，走過路邊，穿過田間大片大片的樹林，呆在野外我是如此的興奮。一年中的這個季節(jié)呆在城市里是很難受的，或許我應(yīng)該馬上去露營。

索西婭：

在城市里，沒有四季的變換，春雨不會使人工建筑生長，潮濕的路面也不會使你不便，因為你坐在車?yán)镆苿?，夏熱不再是問題，空調(diào)使你的房間像秋天一樣涼爽。城市的顏色也不會變化，因為自然的力量不足以像改變樹林的顏色那樣來改變城市。冬雪沒有使任何東西變白，留下的只是泥濘的道路。

哈諾：

佐治亞下雪是很有趣的事情，就像上個禮拜，電視上每天有24小時天氣預(yù)報。就因為可能會下雪。因為這些預(yù)告，學(xué)校停課了，到最后卻只下了雨。但是如果堅持到底的話，規(guī)則就是取消上課了，這是放假的好

借口。人們涌向雜貨店去買牛奶和面包——我不知道為什么，但是他們這樣做了。在我成長的時候，這里每年要下1—2場大雪，但是近幾年卻沒有下過一場。該死的全球變暖!

麥克蘭：

那多漂亮啊，我堅信在2月份我們擁有像秋天11月份那樣涼爽的天氣，從我的孩提時代起，二月份這個溫暖的時期變得一年比一年強，一年比一年長，這個時期最終在3月至少一次的暴風(fēng)雪之中結(jié)束，但是任何一個人都會熬過這些暴風(fēng)雪，因為我們都知道它們只會持續(xù)幾天。
