第二节(共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分)

阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项中(A-F)，选出符合各个小题要求的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。

TUVALU, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea.

_(76)_Salt water is already entering the country’s drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. Without urgent help, the country’s days are numbered.

_(77)_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 20-50 cm 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 that 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, Tuvalu’s rising sea level is caused by global warming.

The average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degrees over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years.

._(78)_The warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10-25 cm in the last 100 years.

_(79)__ Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. _(80)_.

Many scientists believe that if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. The sea level could rise by one meter this century.

Should this come true, the sea will swallow up millions of homes and the world will be flooded with “climate refugees” looking for somewhere to live.

A. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.

B. The main cause of global warming is human pollution.

C. Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu’s nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level.

D. But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea.

E. The global warming is the most important cause of the sea level rising.

F. Warmer weather makes glaciers(冰川) melt, adding more water to the ocean.
