A greenhouse is a building made of glass which is used for keeping plants when the outside temperature is low. In a similar way there are several gases in the atmosphere which trap(捕捉)the heat produced by the sun and prevent it from escaping. These gases are known as"greenhouse gases"，and the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the "greenhouse effect". This is not simply air pollution. Most of the main greenhouse gases exist naturally in small amounts in our atmosphere, and without them earth would be 30 degrees colder and human life would not exist. In other words, the greenhouse effect is a natural course which is to some degree helpful to us.
The problem is that in the last century and a half, we have been putting too many of these gases into the earth's atmosphere by burning large quantities of coal and oil and by cutting down forests. The rapid increase in greenhouse gases is making the world warmer. The world's temperature has already gone up by half a degree this century, and the sea level has risen by 10 centimetres. If the amount of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the atmosphere doubles, there will probably be a rise in the earth's temperature of between 1 and 4 degrees. This may seem a small increase, but it would be enough to cause major changes in geography and agriculture. Large areas of the world would be flooded, and some areas would become dry and unable to produce crops. It is important, too, to consider that there may be a delay of about 30 years in the greenhouse effect. This means that we are probably experiencing only now the effect of the gases put into the atmosphere before the 1960s. Since then, our use of these gases has greatly increased.
1. The"greenhouse effect"means _____.
A. the way in which gases are used for keeping plants warm
B. a natural course which is some degree helpful to us
C. the way"greenhouse gases"trap heat on the earth
D. the whole course in which greenhouse gases prevent heat
2. If there were no greenhouse effect, _____.
A. no plants would grow on our planet
B. earth would be thirty degrees colder
C. man could not live on the earth
D. All of the above answers are correct
3. Which of the following is NOT true? _____
A. Burning too much coal and oil produces lots of greenhouse gases.
B. It has become warmer on the earth now than in the past.
C. Gases put into the atmosphere now will affect the earth years later.
D. The temperature in a greenhouse is as high as that in the atmosphere.
4. Suppose the earth's temperature rose by 3 degrees, _____.
A. great harm would be done to mankind
B. the sea level would go by 10 centimetres
C. all the land in the world would be flooded
D. crops would be unable to grow on the earth
5. This passage mainly deals with _____.
A. the concept(概念)and harm of greenhouse effect
B. the relation between greenhouse gases and man
C. the concept and change of greenhouse effect
D. the effect of the rise of the earth's temperature

第3题：
According to the text, recycling ______.
A. helps control the greenhouse effect
B. means burning packaging for energy
C. is the solution to gas shortage
D. leads to a waste of land
细节理解题。根据If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy.可知A项正确。

什么是温室效应？
温室效应(英文：Greenhouse effect)，又称“花房效应”，是大气保温效应的俗称。大气能使太阳短波辐射到达地面，但地表向外放出的长波热辐射线却被大气吸收，这样就使地表与低层大气温度增高，因其作用类似于栽培农作物的温室，故名温室效应。自工业革命以来，人类向大气中排入的二氧化碳等吸热性强的温室气体逐年增加，大气的温室效应也随之增强，已引起全球气候变暖等一系列严重问题，引起了全世界各国的关注。
