Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the fllowing passage.The terms“global warming" and“climate change" are used by many, seemingly interchangeably. But do they really mean the same thing?Scientists shaped the history of the terms while attempting to accurately describe how humans continue to alter the planet. Later, political strategists adopted the terms to influence public opinion.In 1975, geochemist Wallace Broecker introduced the term“climate change" in an article published by Science. In 1979, a National Academy of Sciences report used the term“global warming" to define increases in the Earth's average surface temperature, while“climate change" more broadly referred to the numerous effects of this increase, such as sea-level rise and occan acidification (酸化).During the following decades, some industrialists and politicians launched a campaign to sow doubt in the minds of the American public about the ability of fossil-fuel use, deforestation and other human activities to influence the planet s climate.Word use played a critical role in developing that doubt. For example, the language and polls expert Frank Luntz wrote a memo encouraging the use of“climate change" because the phrase sounded less scary than“global warming,”reported the Guardian.However, Luntz's recommendation wasn't ncessary. A Google Ngram Viewer chart shows that by 1993 climate change was already more commonly used in books than global warming. By the end of the next decade both words were used more frequently, and climate change was used nearly twice as often as global warming.NASA used the term“climate change" because it more accurately reflects the wide range of changes to the planet caused by increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.The debate isn't new. A century ago, chemist Svante Arrhenius started one of the first debates over the potential for humans to influence the planet's climate. Arrhenius calculated the capability of carbon dioxide to trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, but other chemists disagreed. Some argued that humans weren't producing enough greenhouse gases, while others claimed the effects would be tiny. Now, of course, we know that whatever you call it, human bchavior is warming the planet, with grave consequences ahead.1. Why did politicians use the two terms“global warming" and“climate change"?A) To sway public opinion of the impact of human activities on Farth.B) To more accurately describe the consequences of human activities.C) To win more popular votes in their campaign activities.D) To assure the public of the safety of existing industries.2. As used in a National Academy of Sciences report, the term“climate change" differs from“global warming" in thatA) it sounds less vagueC) it covers more phenomenaB) it looks more scientificD) it is much closer to reality3. What did industrialists of the late 20th century resort to in order to mislead Americans?A) Made-up survey results.C) False research findings.B) Hired climate experts.D) Deliberate choice of words.4. Why did NASA choose the term“climate change"?A) To obtain more funds.C) For political needs.B) For greater precision.D) To avoid debate.5. What is the author's final conclusion?A) Global warming is the more accurate term.B) Accuracy of terminology matters in science.C) Human activities have serious effects on Earth.D) Politics interferes with serious scientific debate.

Color is fundamental in home design — something you'll always have in every room. A grasp of how to manage color in your spaces is one of the first steps to creating rooms you'll love to live in. Do you want a room that's full of life? Professional? Or are you just looking for a place to relax after a long day? 36 , color is the key to making a room feel the way you want it to feel. Over the years, there have been a number of different techniques to help designers approach this important point. 37 , they can get a little complex. But good news is that there're really only three kinds of decisions you need to make about color in your home: the small ones, the medium ones, and the large ones. 38 . They're the little spots of color like throw pillows, mirrors and baskets that most of us use to add visual interest to our rooms. Less tiring than painting your walls and less expensive than buying a colorful sofa, small color choices bring with them the significant benefit of being easily changeable. Medium color choices are generally furniture pieces such as sofas, dinner tables or bookshelves. 39 . They require a bigger commitment than smaller ones, and they have a more powerful effect on the feeling of a space. The large color decisions in your rooms concern the walls, ceilings, and floors. Whether you're looking at wallpaper or paint, the time, effort and relative expense put into it are significant. 40 . 1. 36 A: While all of them are useful B: Whatever you're looking for C: If you're experimenting with a color D: Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with E: It's not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces F: So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time G: Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways 2. 37 A: While all of them are useful B: Whatever you're looking for C: If you're experimenting with a color D: Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with E: It's not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces F: So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time G: Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways 3. 38 A: While all of them are useful B: Whatever you're looking for C: If you're experimenting with a color D: Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with E: It's not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces F: So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time G: Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways 4. 39 A: While all of them are useful B: Whatever you're looking for C: If you're experimenting with a color D: Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with E: It's not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces F: So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time G: Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways 5. 40 A: While all of them are useful B: Whatever you're looking for C: If you're experimenting with a color D: Small color choices are the ones we're most familiar with E: It's not really a good idea to use too many small color pieces F: So it pays to be sure, because you want to get it right the first time G: Color choices in this range are a step up from the small ones in two major ways
