Big snowstorms and cold air swept across Northern China in the first week of November. At the same time,a global(全球的)meeting on climate change was held in Glasgow, Scotland. There, leaders from around the world tried to deal with global warming.
Why are we having such a cold winter on a warming planet? In fact, the cold winter and global warming are not contradictory. Global warming does not happen evenly(均衡地)on earth, and it leads to more extreme(极端的)heat and cold.
Because of the warming climate, China has seen a growing temperature in winter. It has risen by 0.41℃ every 10 years since 1961. But in some cases, the country has also seen extreme cold—for example, the icy weather in early 2008.
Global warming has changed the earth’s air circulation(循环),affecting the local weather through sea-air or land-air interaction(相互作用). For example, in October, La Nina affected China. It was caused by strong winds above the Pacific Ocean. It brought more cold air to China. Another reason for the cold weather is the warming Arctic, according to BBC. It is warming almost three times as fast as any other place on earth. The polar vortex(极地涡旋)—a rotating(旋转的)pool of cold air—becomes active as the temperature rises there. So lots of cold Arctic air then goes southward.
Will this winter be much colder? The official forecast(预报)said a cold winter is possible. Northern China may see more snow than usual, and Southern China, less rainfall than usual.
( ) 5. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. We may have cold winter under global warming.
B. Global warming doesn’t happen in cold winter.
C. The cold winter leads to global warming.
D. The cold winter has nothing to do with global warming.
( ) 6. The icy weather in early 2008 may show that global warming .
A. doesn’t happen everywhere B. is not as serious as we thought
C. can cause more heat and rain D. can also lead to more cold
( ) 7. When La Nina happened, China .
A. had a rise in temperature B. went through extreme floods
C. was much colder than usual D. had a hotter summer than usual
( ) 8. The cold weather in October in China was affected by cold air from .
A. ab
B. ac
C. bc
D. bd

In a fire, remember to stay low to the ground. Smoke rises, making the air near the floor cleaner. Crawl(匍匐前进) on your hands and knees, using a wet cloth to cover your mouth and nose. 4
Before opening any doors, feel them with the back of your hand, lf a door feels hot, it may lead directly to the fire. Open it slowly and check for smoke or flames before going forward, Remember: safety first, always.
Call for help
Once you've safely exited the building, call the emergency services immediately. Gather with your family or classmates at a predetermined(顸先确定的) safe location. Avoid using elevators and never go back inside the building. 5
In conclusion, knowing what to do in a fire emergency can make a difference between life and death.
A. Follow safety instructions
B. Prepare an escape plan in advance
C. Stay calm and wait for further notice,
D. Run away as soon as you get out of your building.
