That increase sounds small, but studies by Kerry Emmanuel at MIT and others have proved that hurricanes are getting more serious. Extreme storms like the one that flooded New England with more than 10 inches of rain in May are being more frequent, too. Birds are migrating earlier. Trees are blooming, and flowers and crops are popping up unseasonably early across the country. The warming has produced clear winners: pests. Mosquitoes love the warmer weather and are celebrating by bringing infectious diseases to new places. Beetle populations have exploded in evergreen trees. Why should we care about beetles? It was beetles that killed the trees in Southern California, which provided the dry fuel for the wildfires that destroyed hundreds of homes in 2020. Higher temperatures are also causing glaciers to melt fast. Mount Kilimanjaro, for instance, has been topped with ice for at least 11,700 years. Within the next 15 years, however, its summit might be icefree, according to Lonnie Thompson, a glaciologist at Ohio State University. The fastest warming is taking place in the far north, where glaciers are disappearing and permafrost (永凍土 ) is proving to be not so permanent. You may think this isn’ t connected with those of us farther south, but snow and ice play a big role in balancing Earth’ s climate by reflecting sunlight back into space. As the Earth warms, melting snow and ice expose dark surfaces such as land and oceans, and the change from heatreflecting to heatabsorbing surfaces could lead to further warming. 56. Which of the following is NOT the result of increasing global warming? A. Hurricanes and floods are being more serious and frequent. B. More pests are being produced than before. C. The water on the earth is being more and more limited. D. Glaciers are melting faster. 57. According to this article, what’ s the main function of snow and ice on the earth? A. Watering the crops after they melt. B. Covering the ground to keep it warm. C. Keeping the atmosphere moist all the time. D. Reflecting sunlight back into space to balance Earth’ s climate. 58. The melting snow and ice may lead to further warming because _____. A. there will be less snow and ice to absorb the heat B. they expose dark surfaces which absorb heat C. they make the atmosphere much more moist D. they give off heat as they melt 59. Which of the following could be the title of this article? A. The Terrible Consequences of Global Warming B. How to Prevent Global Warming C. People’ s Behavior and
