五、任务型阅读
阅读下面文本,根据要求完成各小题。
In late June 2018, the weather forecast (天气预报) for western Japan predicted heavy rain, but no one was prepared for what was to come. By mid-July, large areas were flooded (淹没). Some areas received over 100 centimeters of rain. Cars and trucks floated down the streets. Whole buildings were washed away. At least 225 people died, and millions had to leave their homes.
The weather is changing. Over the last few years, heavy rains have caused floods in many parts of the world. There have been droughts (干旱) in Brazil and Australia. Heat waves in Europe have killed thousands. There have been more hurricanes and tornadoes (飓风和龙卷风), and they have struck with more power than ever before. In 2017 alone, the cost from weather events around the world was 340 billion dollars.
In recent years, Australia has seen a lot of wild weather. In 2018, heat waves influenced much of the country, with temperatures in some places nearing 50 degrees Celsius. In the same year, forest fires destroyed large areas of land. In early 2019-after years of drought-Queensland suffered from heavy flooding.
The cost of these weather events is huge. Estimates (估计) suggest that over the last 10 years, damage from wild weather has cost Australia at least 25 billion dollars. Because of this, more scientists are studying its weather patterns to see if they can help make better weather forecasts.
As more wild weather events happen, people are asking questions: What is happening with the weather? And why? Is this natural, or are we to blame?
The answer seems to be: a little of both. Wild weather is natural. But most scientists agree human activity has made the Earth warmer. This global warming makes heat waves more likely. The higher temperature also causes more water to enter the air. This causes heavier and more frequent rain. Many scientists also believe global warming makes hurricanes and other storms stronger.
This means we’re likely to see more wild weather. Scientist Michael and other experts say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer. We also need to be prepared to do things that will help save lives.
29.What is the main idea of the passage?
