2017年大学英语六级阅读寒假练习题及答案
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
Small increases in temperature found to add power to storms in the
Atlantic.
Hurricanes that form in the Atlantic Ocean are expected to gain
considerable strength asthe global temperature continues to rise, a new
study has found.
Using modeling data focused on the conditions in which hurricanes form,
a group ofinternational researchers based at Beijing Normal University
found that for every 1.8°F ( 1℃ )rise of the Earth's temperature, the
number of hurricanes in the Atlantic that are as strong orstronger than
Hurricane Katrina will increase twofold to sevenfold.
Hurricane strength is directly related to the heat of the water where
the storm forms. Morewater vapor in the air from evaporating ocean water
adds fuel to hurricanes that build strengthand head toward land.
Hurricane Katrina is widely considered the measure for a destructive
storm, holding themaximum Category 5 designation for a full 24 hours in
late August 2005. It lost strength as itpassed over the Florida peninsula,
but gained destructive power fight before colliding withNew Orleans,
killing more than 200 people and causing $$ 80 billion in damage.
The study points to a gradual increase of Katrina-like events. The
warming experiencedover the 20th century doubled the number of such
debilitating(将人类摧垮的)storms. But theongoing warming of the planet
into the 21st century could increase the frequency of theworst kinds of
storms by 700 percent, threatening coastlines along the Atlantic Ocean
withmuitiple Category 5 storms every year.

temperatures is theprimary cause of hurricane variability,
Girnstead, a researcher with the Center forIce and Climate at the
University of Copenhagen. The large impact of small
sea- surfacetemperature increases was more than Girustead and his
colleagues had anticipated. Theentire study was published in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Global temperatures have steadily increased, making the past decade
the warmest onrecord. Earlier this year, climate researchers reported
that the Earth's temperatures have risenfaster in the last century than
at any point since the last ice age, 11,300 years ago. Theprimary cause,
a couseusus of scientists has said, is the rising emissions of
greenhousegases like carbon dioxide and methane.
Past hurricanes have supported the study's finding that global
temperature rise is linkedto more destructive storms. According to the
National Center for Atmospheric Research, whilethe frequency of storms
doesn't appear to have increased, the percentage of strong ones hasrisen
sharply over the past few decades. The trend may be similar further back
in time, butcomprehensive hurricane data doesn't exist.
61. According to the team of international researchers based at
Beijing Normal University,the rise of the Earth's temperature is likely
to cause
coming of ice age
Katrina-like or worse hurricanes
intense hurricanes
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
62. The ocean water in the region where the storm forms
heating the hurricanes
ates and becomes fuel
toward land
into water vapor that makes hurricanes stronger
63. Which of the following statement is TRUE about Hurricane Katrina?
did not lose its strength as it moved.
claimed over 200 people's lives.
