Part I Dialogue Communication

1．C2．D3．B4．D5．A6．B7．B8．B9．Cl0．B11．Cl2．Bl3．Bl4．Cl5．D Part IReading Comprehension Passage l

1．D事实细节题。根据文中第一句，以前人们都认为空气污染只会影响那些有众多工厂和严重交通堵塞现象的大城市及其周边地区，所以选D。根据下文，A、B、C都是后来人们意识到的。

2．B推理判断题。根据文章第一段最后两句，作者引用了一些科学家的观点，空气中二氧化碳的增多会导致温室效应。然后作者提出一种假设，如果这是真的的话，那么南极的冰雪就会融化，将纽约等城市淹没。然而对这种观点的正确性从文章很难看出。另外文中第二段第三句提到“今天我们还不能确定这两种情况能否发生?”，所以作者的态度应是“uncertain”。

3．B推理判断题。即使不认识“0ffset”这个词，我们也可通过上下文猜出来。文章提到的两种可能性一是全球变暖，一是全球降温，只有这两种可能性相互抵消，即冷暖相互弥补，才能出现最后一句的“气温和现在一样正常”。所以选B(make up for“弥补”)。slip into“滑进”；set up“建立，创造”；catch up with“追上，赶上”。
