【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 with more of it and part of the increase of agricultural yields in the past century certainly came from additional CO2 in the atmosphere. Although the number of the scientists who are publicly opposed to the claim is growing, many young scientists secretly say that while they also have serious doubts about the globalwarming message, they are afraid to speak up for fear of not being promoted or worse. Why is there so much passion about global warming? There are several reasons, but a good place to start is the old question Cui bono?, or the modern update, Follow the money. Alarmism (危言聳聽(tīng)) over climate is of great benefit to many, providing government funding for academic research, and thus those people who benefit from this fiercely defended their dogma (信條) and the privileges it brought them. Every country should support rational ( 合理 的) measures to protect and improve our environment, but it makes no sense at all to back expensive programs that turn away resources from real needs and are based on alarming but shaky claims of incontrovertible evidence.（1）What can we infer about the author39。s opinion on global warming?

A.Because it is a good chance for young scientists to be promoted.B.Because the scientists want to have an insight into the problem.C.Because the government values the problem and tries to solve it.D.Because some people can greatly benefit from the research about it.（4）What39。s the writer39。s attitude toward the programs to protect and improve our environment?

One approach to make this whole process easier? Pair students up with an adviser. That39。s the idea behind CollegePoint, an initiative to help gifted students go to schools that match their intellectual(智力的)ability. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT, SAT or ACT——and they score in the 90th percentile, and their families make less than$80, 000 a year, they get an from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listen, guide and answer students39。questions. Connor Rechtzigel, an adviser in Minnesota, sees the importance of his role, for research shows that lowine students are far more likely to undermatch because they don39。t think they have what it takes to get in and because many don39。t even know what schools are out there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin, the first in his family to apply to college, think about what his ideal learning experience was. Finally, Justice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice：Skidmore College in New York. He felt empowered by the process. Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what, CollegePoint advisers do. Nakhle, an adviser in North Carolina, is working with Hensley, an Ohio high school senior who can39。t get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time paring and analyzing her financialaid award letters, which made her decision much clearer. Finally, the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing. Staying instate wasn39。t her first choice, but it was the best option for her.（1）What is the second paragraph mainly about? CollegePoint works. goal of CollegePoint. to apply for a free adviser. challenge of choosing colleges.（2）What prevents lowine students from attending proper colleges? their abilities. little about colleges. of enough learning experience. to get support from their families.（3）Why did Hensley finally choose the Ohio State University? didn39。t want to stay far from home. favorite major was provided there. would show her talents to the full. university met her financial needs.（4）What is the best title for the text? to Be a Financial Adviser for Top Students to Select Ideal Colleges Help Poor Students Apply to Suitable Colleges—a Program Helping Students Score High【答案】 （1）A（2）B（3）D（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了一款幫助貧困家庭的優(yōu)秀生申請(qǐng)合適大學(xué)的虛擬建議程序。 （1）考查段落大意。根據(jù)第二段“That39。s the idea behind CollegePoint，an initiative to help gifted students go to schools that match their intellectual(智力的)ability.
