阅读理解 You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation（撤离）of an island nation—the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland. During the 20th century , sea level rose 8—12 inches. As a result ,Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country’s drinking water. Paani Laupepa , a Tuvaluan government official ,reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years .Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions（导致温室效应的气体排放）,which are a main cause of global warming . “By refusing to sign the agreement ,the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC. Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries .

BBAC解析文章讲述温室气体排放导致海平面上升一些岛国被迫迁移的事情。1.主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了全球变暖的影响，最直接的就是海平面上升，一些岛国受灾。2.细节题。根据第三段第三行Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.3.推理题。根据第四段内容可知，Laupepa批评美国拒绝签署京都协议也就是拒绝减少温室气体的排放。4.细节题。根据最后一段Maumoon Gayoon ,president of the Maldives ,told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311,000 an “endangered nation”.
