1、Reading What is the greenhouse made and used for?A greenhouse is made of glass and is used for growing plants,especially during cold weather.How does it work?The air inside is warm because the glass traps the heat from the sun and keeps it from escaping.This makes the greenhouse heat up and so the p

2、lants can grow throughout the cold period.What are the“greenhouse gases”?In the atmosphere surrounding the earth there are gases,which are called“greenhouse gases”,including carbon dioxide,methane(甲烷甲烷,沼气沼气)and water vapor.What do you think greenhousegases do?They trap heat from the sun and therefor

8、ed about one degree Fahrenheit during the 20th century.B.The carbon dioxide content in the air increased by 70 parts per million from 1957 to 1997.C.All scientists accept the data in graph 2 except Charles Keeling.D.Janice Foster says that more carbon dioxide will make plants grow faster.A2.Which of

9、 the following is Dr Janice Fosters opinion?A.The result of the temperature increase will be serious.B.The amount of warming is nothing serious.C.We neednt worry about high levels of carbon dioxide.D.Global warming is a natural phenomenon.AComprehendingComprehending浓度浓度单位单位 Glance quickly at the mag

10、azine article and answer the questions.1.Who wrote the magazine article?What is the name of the magazine?Sophie Armstrong wrote the magazine article.The name of the magazine is Earth Care.2.What are the names of the three scientists mentioned in the article?They are Dr.Janice Foster,Charles Keeling

11、and George Hambley.3.What do they think about global warming?Do they agree with one another?They dont agree with each other.Dr.Janice Foster thinks the effects of global warming could be very serious.George Hambley thinks global warming will be mild with few bad environmental consequences.Charles Ke

12、eling believes it is the burning of more and more fossil fuels that is resulting in a big increase in carbon dioxide.4.What are the two graphs about?Graph I shows the temperature increase of one degree Fahrenheit between 1860 to 2000.Graph 2 is about the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere,1958

13、-1990.5.What is the main topic of the article?Global warming/the warming of the earth.2.True:3,5,6,7,8 False:1,2,4,9,10Correct sentences:1.The temperature last century increased much.2.Not everyone believes that global warming is caused by human activities.4.Natural gas is not a greenhouse gas but a

14、 fossil fuel.9.George Hambley thinks that more carbon dioxide is a positive thing and it will make plants grow faster.10.It is unknown what the effects of global warming will be.Debate Instructions Get into groups of six.Decide which three in your group are going to agree with the statement (Group A

15、)and which three are going to disagree with the statement(Group B).Group A discuss why they agree with the statement;Group B discuss why they disagree.Group A and B get together.Tell each other the reasons why agree or disagree with the statement.Supplementary materials for debating Global warming 1

16、.The planet has warmed anywhere from 0.5 to 1.0C(1 to 2F)over the last century.This small amount makes a huge difference,causing glaciers to melt and,potentially(潜在的潜在的),sea level to rise.We could see even more of this in the future,(maybe another 3C,or 5F)global warmingglobal warming2.A definition

17、of global warming would have to include a measurable,consistent temperature rise,like the one we have seen in recent history.A question remains Is it an unusual change?Much debate about that one.3.The earth gets one kind of energy(visible light)from the sun and gives off another kind(infrared红外线红外线)

18、.This kind is what gets trapped by green house gases(GHGs)in the atmosphere.Green house gases4.The global warming green house effect really is a bogus(假的假的)term.A greenhouse keeps warm by physically trapping the air inside and preventing convection(对流对流).The atmosphere helps keep the planet warm by

19、trapping outgoing radiation instead.5.The leading gasses are Carbon-dioxide,Methane,Ozone(臭氧臭氧)and Nitrous Oxide(一氧化二氮一氧化二氮).Gas analyzers show the concentrations of this stuff have increased somewhat since the beginning of the industrial revolution.6.The greenhouse effect raises the average tempera
