本題屬其他方式提問的問題。短文的最后兩句話說：“解決這一理論難題的方法之一就是假定：當(dāng)太陽效應(yīng)控制地球氣候的慣性時(shí)就使冰河時(shí)代的出現(xiàn)推遲了幾千年。如果這個(gè)假設(shè)是正確的，那么二氧化碳的溫室效應(yīng)就可能對正在減少的太陽熱起到有用的平衡作用?！边@與D答案中的“溫室效應(yīng)有利于地球”意思相吻合，故應(yīng)選D答案。A的內(nèi)容在原文中未涉及；B與原文正相反；C的內(nèi)容與原文表達(dá)的內(nèi)容不符。

- 9 【英譯漢】 Think about driving a route that’s very familiar. It could be your commute to work, a trip into town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. On these sorts of trips it’s easy to zone out from the actual driving and pay little attention to the passing scenery. The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has. This is the well-traveled road effect: people tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route. The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel down a well-known route, because we don’t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. And afterwards, when we come to think back on it, we can’t remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it. So we assume it was shorter.
- 10 【英譯漢】 Quality of life is about more than the size of your pay cheque. It means being able to spend an evening with your family once a week--instead of keeping one parent at home with the kids while the other works, and then exchanging a few words when you switch roles halfway through the day. It means being able to request working hours that allow you to travel when buses are running so you do not have to walk miles to get to work. Those things matter to workers. When someone on a low wage talks about finding a better job, better pay is just part of the mix. This is why campaigns groups across America are trying to win better conditions--enabling mployees to address questions of health, safety and life quality, alongside their wage gains. Short-notice rotas, as much as low pay or unsafe conditions, are central to a spate of protests across the US.
