The long journey of a four-ton elephantswept by floodwaters from India toBangladesh has ended in tragedy. “The causes of its death were weakness due to its long journey, physical and mental stress and heart failure,” Ashit Ranjan Paul, the director of the Wildlife Crime Control Unit from Bangladesh’s Forest Department said. The elephant was initially separated from its herd in Assam, India. The hardy beast endured a 620-mile journey that included crossing the Brahmaputra River, a major waterway that cuts through four countries. After spending weeks in flooded areas, the elephant almost died during a rescue attempt on the 11th of August. The rescuers first tried to calm down the animal but it became distressed and charged into a pond, where it quickly fell unconscious. Villages saved the animal by using ropes and chains to pull it from the water. The rescuers also tried using another elephant to help the exhausted beast. However, it eventually died of exhaustion.1.What do we know about this elephant?A) It was swept from India to Bangladesh by floods.B) It endured a 420-mile journey crossing six countries.C) It was initially separated from its herd in Bangladesh.D) It was charged into a pond and got drowned there.2.What did people do to save the elephant?A) They first tried to calm it down and succeeded.B) They made it unconscious to pull it from the water.C) They tried to use ropes and chains to pull it out but failed.D) They tried using another elephant to help this animal.

四、阅读理解AScientists have long suspected that globalwarming can cause extreme weather events liketerribly hot weather and pouring downpours. Now2020_2021 学年高二英语上学期寒假作业 5GlobalWarming&ThePowerofNature 新人教版experts have numbers to support that idea。The burning of fossil fuels has been leading to abuild-up of carbon dioxide in the Earth’satmosphere 。 This CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Thatmeans it can trap heal in the air。 As a result， ourplanet’s temperature has been rising 。 And thisglobal warming will account for a growing share ofever more frequent extreme weather events。Many governments hope to limit global warmingto 2 degrees Celsius above temperatures that weretypical before the Industrial Revolution 。 It will behard for nations to achieve that. But even if they do，global warming still will be responsible for nearly allheat extremes. Global warming will also be to blamefor about 2 out of every 5 extreme rains andsnowfalls. “This is a considerable fraction（分数） of2020_2021 学年高二英语上学期寒假作业 5GlobalWarming&ThePowerofNature 新人教版major weather events," says climate scientist PeterStott.So far， the Earth has warmed about 0.85 degreeCelsius since 1750. That’s about when the IndustrialRevolution got its start. That’s also when fossil fueluse took off, spewing(喷出） lots of CO2 into the air.“Overall,the new study shows that relatively smallrises in the global temperature translate into largeincreases in the likelihood of extremes，” Stott says。Erich Fischer and Reto Knutti analyzed 25different computer models of global climate 。 Theseanalyses looked at different climate periods ， frompreindustrial times to the present. The analyses alsopredicted what weather events were likely to be likein the future. This period was predicted to be warmerby 2 and 3 degrees Celsius.2020_2021 学年高二英语上学期寒假作业 5GlobalWarming&ThePowerofNature 新人教版The computer looked at when extreme heat andprecipitation（降水量） occurred during each climateperiod. It focused on events of unusual heat or heavyprecipitation。 Before the Industrial Revolution， suchextremes typically would have occurred only once inevery 1，000 days.“But since the globe has been warming ， suchextremes are no longer nearly as rare 。 These newfindings provide a global statement ， " Fischer says.“You can still get the biggest heat that you have everseen without any human changes。”1. The second paragraph is mainly about ________.A。 what damage global warming causedB. how global warming came into beingC. where global warming is becoming seriousD。 why fossil fuels have to be forbidden2. What Peter said in Para。 3 suggests that ________.2020_2021 学年高二英语上学期寒假作业 5GlobalWarming&ThePowerofNature 新人教版A. it is reasonable for climate change to happenB。 there is no serious effect of global warming nowC. the influence of global warming is greatD。 the extreme weather happens in small numbers3. In the future， the temperature may rise at least by________ degrees Celsius。A。 2。5 B。 3 C。 4 D. 24. According to the passage ， extreme weather________。A. will happen more often than beforeB. happens once in every 1，000 daysC。 strikes every region without differencesD. becomes a rare phenomenon across the planetBGoing green seems to be a fad（时尚) for a lot ofpeople these days。 Whether that is good or bad, wecan't really say， but for the two of us， going green2020_2021 学年高二英语上学期寒假作业 5GlobalWarming&ThePowerofNature 新人教版is not a fad but a lifestyle。On April 22， 2011, we decided to go green everysingle day for an entire year.
