问题    Read the following text from a magazine article in which five persons talked about the problem of greenhouse effect and global warming. For questions 61 to 65, match each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
   Jennifer
   The greenhouse effect might be causing the change, but it’s a cycle that’s been tracked for about a hundred years and in the past 20 years or so it just stopped cycling. And this is only affecting a small part of the world, People talk about greenhouse effect because they want to show how much concern they have about the future of the world. Don’t be as silly as them.
   Carl:
   Spring just hits here, too. It’s so nice--windows open, the fresh air of changing seasons just lights me up. When I was younger this was the season for walking through the melting snow and ice, across roadsides, through square acre forests among the fields. I get so excited to be out in the wild. It’s tough to be in the city this time of year. Maybe I’ll go camping soon!
   Susan:
   In the city you don’t have seasons. Spring rain does not make man-made structure grow, and wet roads are not inconvenient for you because you can move around hi your car. Summer’s heat is no longer a problem and air-conditioning makes your rooms cool as autumn. The colors of the city don’t change because nature is not powerful enough to change them as she changes the color of woods. Winter snow leaves nothing white but muddy roads.
   Harold:
   Snow in Georgia is a funny thing. We have been having 24 hours/day weather news on the TV for the past week, just because there is a threat of snow. Schools have closed based on these predictions, and all we got was rain. But the rule is that if it sticks to the ground, school is canceled. It would be a great excuse to get the day off. People rush to the grocery store to buy milk and bread -- I don’t know why, but they do. When I was growing up here we used to get 1 or 2 big snowfalls a year, but there has not been any for the last few. Damn global warming.
   Mike:
   It’s been so nice. I am of the firm belief that in February we get the day like cool autumn season in November... In February it’s like a warm period that’s been getting stronger and longer every year since my boyhood, and it gets defeated by the final blowing snowstorm of March at least once, but anyone can survive those snowstorms, since we all know they’ll be gone in a few days.
   Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
   Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] Future is bright.
[B] In the city we can hardly touch nature.
[C] We can see the greenhouse effect on the climate.
[D] Human beings have to struggle hard against weather.
[E] The call of nature is there.
[F] He hates spring.
[G] Sometimes we worry too much about nothing.
Harold
选项
答案C
解析 Harold的发言主要是围绕气候变化：预报说有雪，因此学校被关闭了；但实际上并没有下雪，只是下雨。他把过去每年会下一两场雪而现在不下雪的原因归于全球变暖。选项中与气候相关的是[C] 。
