II. Read the passage and complete the exercises. 阅读并完成练习。(30%)
Tornadoes(龙卷风), sometimes called “twisters”, are whirlwinds（旋风） with speeds of up to 400 km per hour. In the USA, there are 1,000 tornadoes every year. They look fascinating and dramatic when we are watching them on TV, but they can kill. In Britain, there were very few tornadoes in the past. Now, there are more than 50 tornadoes a year.
Tornadoes are only one sign of the world’s climate change. There are many others. The number of thunderstorms is increasing and there are more hurricanes. There are more floods in some parts of the world, and there’s much less rain in others. We know that these things happen because global temperatures are rising and many people believe the weather will get worse in the future. The problems of climate change won’t go away unless we do something about the causes.
Scientists still do not know enough about the reasons for these temperature changes. But most scientists think human activity is the problem. Cutting down trees, burning oil, and the increase in the number of cars and planes are some of the things that cause the problems.
Scientists believe that if the temperatures continue to rise, the ice at the poles will melt. If the ice melts, sea levels will rise. Some islands might disappear completely, and there might be floods in coastal（沿海的） cities. All this means that unless we do something to stop global warming now, there may be many other dramatic changes in the future.
