期中综合测试题(一) 第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分） 第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分，满分25分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Levi Draheim, 11 years old, and 20 other young people have accused (控告）the US government of encouraging the climate change. For more than a century, human activities have been increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. That has caused a host of effects globally, from changes in weather to ice melting at the poles. Levi lives in Satellite Beach, Fla. He once had to leave his home because of strong storms. Heavy rains flooded the town’s streets. And he had trouble breathing during red tides, which can develop when harmful ocean algae (海藻）grow out of control.

Then they turned to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. That court said the case could go ahead, and the Supreme Court agreed. Both sides did work to get ready for trial. But the government again tried to get the case thrown out without a trial. Finally, trial was set to start on October 29, 2018. But on October 19, the US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts told the trial court to hold up. The youths5 lawyers objected. On November 2, the Supreme Court finally agreed that the trial could go forward. Right now, it is hard to say when that will happen. 1. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The increasing amount of greenhouse gases. B. The time
