29、 DesignedDIf humans pump enough carbon dioxide (CO 2) into the atmosphere, the stratocumulus clouds(层积云)could disappear, and the earths temperature could climb sharply to heights not predicted in current climatemodels. It would burn the planet. Thats the conclusion of a paper published inthejoumalNa

31、 changes in cloud behavior. But cloudsare important. They reflectsunlight away from the earths surface. And stratocumulus clouds are those white blankets you might have seen as you looked out the window of arm airplane, rolling out below you and hiding the groundResearchers suspect that certain sudd
32、en, past jumps in temperature may have been caused by changes to clouds like these.For the new research, scientists modeled just a small patch of sky using a supercomputer. They found that if carbon dioxide levels reach about 1, 200 parts per million(ppm) in the atmosphere, stratocumulusclouds break
33、 up. Thats a very high carbon dioxide concentrationRight now, levels have climbed past 410ppm -a dangerous change from 280 ppm before the Industrial Revolution.But humans put more and more CO2 into the atmosphere every year. If current trends continue, theearth could reach 1, 200 ppm within 100 to 1
34、50 years. This could happen if our society doesnt followthrough on any of its commitments to reduce emissions( 排放 ), Wolchover reported. And even if it does, the result would be another 8 degrees Celsius of heat added to the global average, on top of the dangerous changes already underway due to gre
35、enhouse gases.That ans enormous change, and it goes beyond predictions of worldwide ice melt and catastrophic sea-level rise, And, once the stratocumulus clouds are gone, Wolchover reported, they likely wouldnt reappear until atmospheric carbon dioxide levels dropped below where they are currently.T
36、heres still some uncertainty in the data. The 1, 200 ppm figure could change as scientists look into the issue further.32. What can we learn from paragraph 2?A. Most climate systems are not complex.B Cloud behavior is uncertain and hard to predictC. Temperature changes affect the stratocumulus cloud
37、sD. The stratocumulus clouds protect planes from sunlight.33. How did the scientists study clouds in the new research?A. By measuring the sea levelB. By experimenting in a natural stateC. By comparing climate models34. What doesitrefer to in paragraph 4? A. The atmosphere.B The earthC. Our society.D
38、. The result35.Which of the following statements would Wolchover most probably agree with?A. The effects of CO2 emissions have beer fully assessedB. The stratocumulus clouds wont return if they are goneC. The breakup of stratocumulus clouds could result in catastrophesD. Once CO2 level reaches 1, 20
