【延申阅读】
The gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere is primarily caused by human activity. We burn fossil fuels, and pump carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases act like a greenhouse. 16
Already, the consequences of global warming are measurable and visible 17 Lakes around the world are warming rapidly-in some cases faster than the surrounding environment. Animals are changing migration patterns, and plants are budding their leaves earlier in the spring and dropping them later in the fall.
One of the most immediate and obvious consequences of global warming is the increase in temperatures around the world. The average global temperature has increased by 0.8℃ over the past 100 years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. 18 That year, Earth's surface temperature was 0.99℃ warmer than the average across the entire 20th century.
19 We have more unpredictable extreme weather. These extremes come in different flavors. One effect can be colder than-normal winters. Changes in climate can cause the boundary between the cold North Pole air and the warm equatorial air to migrate south. 20 This is why some areas can have a sudden cold snap or colder-than-normal winter, even during the long-term trend of global warming.
A．That will bring with it cold, Arctic air.
B．They trap in heat and cause global warming.
C．An immediate consequence is freezing weather.
D．Our Earth is heating up, and heating up quickly.
E．Ice is melting in both polar ice caps and mountain glaciers.
F．Since 1895, the hottest year on record worldwide was 2016.
G．As global average temperatures go up, weather patterns are changing.
16．B 17．E 18．F 19．G 20．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了全球变暖给人类带来如温度上升和极端天气等一系列的难以预料的结果。
16．上文“These gases act like a greenhouse.(这些气体就像是一座温室)”说明了这些气体和温室的作用相似，B项“它们困住热量并且导致全球变暖”正是对温室作用的解释说明，是对上文内容的承接。故选B项。
17．上文“Already, the consequences of global warming are measurable and visible.(全球变暖的结果已经是可测量和可见的)”说明了下文要介绍全球变暖产生的后果，E项“极地冰盖和山地冰川的冰都在融化”就是对全球变暖的结果的举例说明。故选E项。
18．下文“That year, Earth's surface temperature was 0.99℃ warmer than the average across the entire 20th century.(那一年，地球表面温度比整个二十世纪的平均值高出 0.99℃)”中的“That year”指代的是F项“自1895年以来，全球有记录以来最热的年份是2016年”中的“2016”，下文是对F项内容的解释说明，解释了2016年成为自1895年以来最热一年的原因。故选F项。
19．下文“We have more unpredictable extreme weather. (我们有更多难以预测的极端天气)”说明了极端天气的出现是我们始料未及的，G项“随着全球平均气温的上升，天气模式正在发生改变”是为了引出下文，说明天气模式的改变是向极端天气转变。故选G项。
20．下文“This is why some areas can have a sudden cold snap or colder-than-normal winter, even during the long-term trend of global warming.(这就是为什么一些区域即使在全球变暖的长期趋势下，也会有突然的寒流或比正常冬天更冷的原因)”和A项“那将会带来寒冷的北极空气”构成因果关系，是对北极空气带来的结果的解释说明。故选A项。
