Unit 4 Global warming-section 1Part Two: Teaching Resources (第二部分:教学资源)Section 1: A text structure analysis of THE EATH IS BECOMING WARMER—BUT DOES IT MATTER?I. Type of writing and summary of the texthas caused the global warming or whether it is just a natural phenomenon.Many scientists believe that it is human activity that has caused the increase in the earth’s temperature. They think that the increased extra amount of carbon dioxide is trapping more heat energy, thus causing the global temperature to go up. It is believed that the levels of carbon dioxide have increased greatly over the last 100 to 150 years. However, there are some different attitudes towards the causes of this increase in carbon dioxide.On one hand, some scientists find that, over the next 100 years, the amount of warming could be as low as 1 to 1.5 degrees Celsius, but it could be as much as 5 degrees Celsius. They think that an increase of five degrees would be a catastrophe. It is possible, in their opinions, future warming would cause the sea level to rise by several meters. On the other hand, some other scientists predict that anywarming will be mild with few bad environmental consequences. They are convinced that more carbon dioxide is in fact a positive thing.What is certain is that at present no one knows what the effects of global warming will be.。

Wang and Overland sought models that best matched what has actually happened in recent years, because, “if a model can't do today's conditions well, how can you trust its future predictions?” Wang says.

答案: CⅡ.阅读理解The play The Doctor’s Dilemma by George Bernard opens on the day when Ridgeon,a famous research doctor,is knighted (封爵).His friends gather to congratulate him.The friends include Sir Patrick,a well­known old physician,Walpole,an aggressive surgeon,Sir Ralph Bloomfield Bonington,an attractive society doctor,and Blenkinsop,an honest government doctor.Each one has his favorite theory of illness and method of cure.One_man’s_cure_is_another_man’s_poison,but they all get along.A young woman (Mrs Dubechat) desperately seeks help for her husband from Ridgeon,who has evidently found a way to cure her husband’s illness.Ridgeon initially refuses,but then he changes his mind for two reasons—Mr Dubechat is a fine artist and Ridgeon falls in love with his wife.When the doctors meet Mr Dubechat,however,they find that he is a dishonest person.Ridgeon eventually decides to treat Blenkinsop,who has the same disease,and refers the artist to Bloomfield Bonington.As a result,he will die.In the end,Ridgeon justifies his behavior as a plan to let Mr Dubechat die before his wife finds out how dishonest he actually was.This,in fact,hap pens and Mr Dubechat’s artistic reputation grows.At one level this play deals with allocation (分配) of rare medical resources.Which of the two men will Sir Ridgeon save?Blenkinsop is an honest doctor who works for the poor.Mr Dubechat is a charming sociopath (反社会者),who happensto be an extraordinary artist.Ridgeon solves this problem with an interesting moral twist—he explains that Mr Dubechat’s death will be a benefit because it will keep his reputation.It will also potentially benefit Ridgeon,who wants to get Mrs Dubechat.语篇解读作者介绍了萧伯纳的作品The Doctor’s Dilemma的主要情节。
