Tuvalu, north of Fiji, is a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean. Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu's nine little islands is more than five metres above a level. Salt water is already entering the country's drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable.It fears it will be swallowed up by the a. Without urgent help, the country's days are numbered. But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the a. Venice, a historic city in Italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24cm over the past 100 years. Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark's Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times.While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu's rising a level is caud by global warming.The average global temperature has incread by almost 0.5 centigrade degree over the past century; scientists expect it to ri by an extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years.Warmer weather makes glaciers melt, adding more water to the ocean. The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the a level to ri. The a level has rin about 10-25cm in the last 100 years.People have been increasing the greenhou gas in the atmosphere, such as CO2, through burning coal, oil and gas. This adds to the power of the greenhou effect, making the planet even warmer.Many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The a level could ri by one metre this century.Should this come true, millions of homes would be swallowed up by the a and the world will be flooded with "climate refugees" looking for somewhere el to live.小题1: We can infer from Paragraph 2 that ______.A.Tuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up by the aB.all Tuvalu’s islands are about five meters above the a levelC.drinking water in Tuvalu has been destroyedD.Tuvalu is often flooded by storms and waves小题2:The author us Tuvalu and Venice as examples in order to explain ______.A.they are the first places sinking into the aB.they are both sinking into the mud where they standC.they will disappear in the futureD.their trouble is caud by global warming小题3: What does the underlined word “refugees” mean?A.People forced away from their homeland.B.Sudden changes caud by world climate.C.Animals who lives are cloly connected with weather.
