　　Hundreds of years ago,a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland.The Scots,a brave people,loved their country very much.They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland,but there were too many Romans.It looked as if the Romans would win.

　　One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill."We will rest here tonight,my men,"he said."Tomorrow we will fight one more battle.We must win or we will die."

　　They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep.There were four guards on duty,but they，too，were very tired,and one by one,also fell asleep.

　　The Romans were not asleep.Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill.Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound.Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots.They were almost at the top.A few minutes more，the war would be over.Suddenly,one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟).He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots.In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle.The fighting was hard but it did not last long.The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.

　　The thistle is not a beautiful plant.It has sharp needles all over it.Few people like it.But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.

　　Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.

　　Small increases in temperature found to add power to storms in the Atlantic.

　　Hurricanes that form in the Atlantic Ocean are expected to gain considerable strength asthe global temperature continues to rise, a new study has found.

　　Using modeling data focused on the conditions in which hurricanes form, a group ofinternational researchers based at Beijing Normal University found that for every 1.8°F( 1℃ )rise of the Earths temperature, the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic that are as strong orstronger than Hurricane Katrina will increase twofold to sevenfold.

　　Hurricane strength is directly related to the heat of the water where the storm forms.Morewater vapor in the air from evaporating ocean water adds fuel to hurricanes that build strengthand head toward land.

　　Hurricane Katrina is widely considered the measure for a destructive storm, holding themaximum Category 5 designation for a full 24 hours in late August 2005.It lost strength as itpassed over the Florida peninsula, but gained destructive power fight before colliding withNew Orleans, killing more than 200 people and causing $ 80 billion in damage.

　　The study points to a gradual increase of Katrina-like events.The warming experiencedover the 20th century doubled the number of such debilitating(将人类摧垮的)storms.But theongoing warming of the planet into the 21st century could increase the frequency of theworst kinds of storms by 700 percent, threatening coastlines along the Atlantic Ocean withmuitiple Category 5 storms every year.

　　"Our results support the idea that changes in regional sea surface temperatures is theprimary cause of hurricane variability," said Aslak Girnstead, a researcher with the Center forIce and Climate at the University of Copenhagen.The large impact of small sea-surfacetemperature increases was more than Girustead and his colleagues had anticipated.Theentire study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

　　Global temperatures have steadily increased, making the past decade the warmest onrecord.Earlier this year, climate researchers reported that the Earths temperatures have risenfaster in the last century than at any point since the last ice age, 11,300 years ago.Theprimary cause, a couseusus of scientists has said, is the rising emissions of greenhousegases like carbon dioxide and methane.

　　Past hurricanes have supported the studys finding that global temperature rise is linkedto more destructive storms.According to the National Center for Atmospheric Research, whilethe frequency of storms doesnt appear to have increased, the percentage of strong ones hasrisen sharply over the past few decades.The trend may be similar further back in time, butcomprehensive hurricane data doesnt exist.

　　61.According to the team of international researchers based at Beijing Normal University,the rise of the Earths temperature is likely to cause

　　A.the coming of ice age

　　C.more Katrina-like or worse hurricanes

　　B.less intense hurricanes

　　D.more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

　　62.The ocean water in the region where the storm forms

　　A.is heating the hurricanes

　　B.evaporates and becomes fuel

　　C.heads toward land

　　D.turns into water vapor that makes hurricanes stronger

　　63.Which of the following statement is TRUE about Hurricane Katrina?

　　A.It did not lose its strength as it moved.

　　B.It claimed over 200 peoples lives.

　　C.It caused 80 billion dollars loss for Florida peninsula.

　　D.It lasted for full 24 hours.

　　64.What result can regional sea surface temperature changes produce?

　　A.Hurricane changes.

　　C.Global warming.

　　B.Increasing greenhouse gas emissions.

　　D.Destructive hurricanes.

　　65.It can be inferred from the passage that

　　A.there is no link between greenhouse gas emissions and destructive storms

　　B.reduction of greenhouse gas emissions may reduce destructive storms

　　C.the higher percentage of strong ones rose as more hurricanes appeared

　　D.past records on hurricanes included everything needed

　　参考答案

　　61.C。本题考查地球温度上升带来的变化。定位句提到“地球温度每上升l.8华氏度(1摄氏度)，那么大西洋中强度可匹敌甚至胜过卡特里娜飓风的飓风数量会增加两倍乃至七倍”，故C“更多像卡特里娜那样或是更糟糕的飓风”为答案。

　　62.D。本题考查对飓风形成的区域中海水情况的理解。定位句提到“从海洋中蒸发到空气中的水分越多，那么飓风的威力就越强，然后会直扑陆地”，故D“蒸发成水蒸气，使得风暴威力增强”为答案。

　　68.B。本题考查飓风卡特里娜的细节。定位句提到“卡特里娜飓风在抵达新奥尔良州之前威力大增，其巨大的破坏力致使200余人丧生，并造成了800亿美元的经济损失”，故答案为B。

　　64.A。本题考查局域海面温度的变化对飓风造成的影响。根据定位句，局域海面温度的变化是飓风变化的主要原因，故答案为A。

　　65.B。由倒数第二段最后一句和最后一段的第一句可知，全球变暖是由温室气体大量排放引起的，而全球变暖和破坏性风暴频率变高之间存在联系，由此可推知，减少温室气体排放，或可缓解全球变暖的趋势，从而减少破坏性风暴的发生频率，故答案为B)。
