　　Based on new analysis, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe. Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear. Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate (遷徙) north.

　　Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.

　　According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of today's familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today's world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.

　　Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought. At this point, it doesn't matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. What's more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There is war and threat of war everywhere. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.

　　However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this. No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.

　　語篇解讀：本文敘述了氣候的變化將離我們越來越近了及其導致的嚴重后果。由于氣候的變化會導致動物遷徙，一些物種滅絕，疾病的蔓延。今天熟悉的氣候類型會被我們不知道的氣候代替。近幾年我們的星球已經有了氣候變化的跡象，像各地的地震和海嘯。現在導致氣候變化的原因不重要了，重要的是我們應該采取措施，應對氣候的變化。

　　1．Which of the following would be the best title for the Passage?

　　A. Ways to protect our planet.

　　B. Solutions to climate change.

　　C. Be prepared for climate change.

　　D. Climate change and its effects.

　　答案：D　標題歸納題。全文內容主要介紹氣候的變化及其后果。故選D。

　　A．To show the damage earthquakes caused.

　　B．To remind people to prevent future earthquakes.

　　C．To show major changes are taking place on the planet.

　　D．To tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future.

　　答案：C　作者意圖題。根據第三段的“earthquake in Sumatra, Egypt, Haiti”可以看出作者解釋“The planet itself has been showing signs of change”，我們的星球已經表現出變化的跡象。故選C。

　　3．What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 3 mean?

　　A. Separated.B. Destroyed.

　　C. Removed.D. Affected.

　　答案：B　詞義猜測題。根據第三段的“Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.”埃及2009年發生了大地震，2010年海地遭受了大地震，被地震破壞，摧毀。故選B。

　　4．What can be inferred from the Passage?

　　A．Animals and plants won't die out as long as climate changes slowly.

　　B．There's enough data for us to predict the future of climate change.

　　C．The world is getting more unstable because of animal migration.

　　D．The earth is not the only planet that is experiencing climate change.

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。根據最后一段的“However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own.”不僅我們的星球而且其他星球都在經歷著全球變暖。故選D。

　　B

　　If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life, new research may come as a shock. According to a recent scientific study, people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.

　　Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die. The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers. The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries (動脈). Over time, this can cause serious injuries.

　　Peter Schnohr, a researcher in Copenhagen, said, “If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy, jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy. Anything more is not just unnecessary, and it may be harmful.”

　　The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi, yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than“iron man” events, triathlons and long-distance running and cycling. According to Jacob Louis Marott, another researcher involved in the study, “You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health. And perhaps you shouldn't actually do too much.”

　　語篇解讀：本文為說明文。介紹了劇烈運動不利于健康長壽這一研究結果。

　　5．The underlined word “strenuous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”．

　　A．hard B．regular

　　C．practical D．flexible

　　答案：A　猜測詞義題。這里在陳述研究結果，由上下文的內容可知這里指像馬拉松、鐵人三項這樣的劇烈運動不利于長壽，故選hard。

　　6．The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ________.

　　A．suggest giving up jogging

　　B．show risks of doing sports

　　C．provide supportive evidence

　　D．introduce the research process

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。第二段介紹的是丹麥科學家所作研究的過程，其中引用了一些數字，其目的是為其研究結果提供證據，故答案為C項。

　　7．According to the scientists, why is too much exercise harmful?

　　A．It may injure the heart and arteries.

　　B．It can make the body tired out.

　　C．It will bring much pressure.

　　D．It consumes too much energy.

　　答案：A　事實細節題。根據第二段倒數第一、二句“科學家們認為這是因為劇烈運動會給心臟及動脈造成結構性變化。長時間會造成嚴重損傷。”可知答案為A項。

　　8．What can be inferred from the text?

　　A．No exercise at all is the best choice.

　　B．More exercise means a healthier life.

　　C．Marathon runners are least likely to die.

　　D．Proper exercise contributes to good health.

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。根據最后一段可知答案為D項。
