You are one of the most familiar faces in class, not because you are funny or have great note-taking abilities but because you ask the most number of questions.1. It is important to have a good way to ask questions. Here are a few tips for improving your questioning skills:
Be clear about what you want to know.
Be clear about what you want to know and frame your question accordingly2. If you beat around the bush, your teachers won’t be entirely sure what it is that you haven’t understood, or need an explanation for.
3.
If you are uncertain about a particular subject, make it clear when it is being discussed. If you put your question in context (语境), you can be sure of it. Because questions often open up new avenues within a subject, doing this would benefit the whole class.
Don’t hesitate to talk to your teacher after class.
4. Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable about asking a question in front of your classmates, wait till the class is over. This will probably put you more at ease.
Write down your questions.
5. They may appear when you’re studying, reading or taking notes. Note them down on a piece of paper so that you won’t forget to ask them later. This can also make sure that you don’t have any unanswered questions when the exam approaches.
A. Don’t ask more questions once a time.
B. Questions may appear at any time.
C. Being curious is not a bad quality.
D. You may think it is good to ask no questions.
E. Ask questions related to the context.
F. A question needs to be easy to be understood and to the point.
G. One-to-one interactions (互动) are always much better than one-to-many.
Asia’s mountain glaciers (冰川) will lose at least a third of their mass through global warming by the century’s end, with serious consequences for millions of people who rely on them for fresh water, researchers have said. The high mountains of Asia consist of a geographical region surrounding the Tibetan Plateau, holding the biggest store of frozen water outside the poles. It feeds many of the world’s great rivers, including the Ganges, the Indus and the Yarlung Zangbo River, on which hundreds of millions of people depend.
Nearly 200 nations adopted the Paris Agreement in 2015, which sets the goal of limiting warming to a level of “well below” 2°C, while “pursuing efforts” to achieve a lower ceiling of 1.5°C. Earth’s surface has already warmed by about 1°C, according to scientists.
The Asian high mountains, the new study said, were already warming more rapidly than the global average. A global temperature rise of 1.5°C would mean an average increase in the region of about 2.1°C, with differences between mountain ranges - all of which will warm by more than 1.5°C. The Hindu Kush mountain range would warm by about 2.3°C and the eastern Himalaya Mountains by 1.9°C, the study forecast.
“Even if temperatures stabilize at their current level, (glacier) mass loss will continue for decades to come,” the researchers added. “For the high mountain glaciers to survive, it is vital to reduce the global temperature increase to the lowest possible level.”
A study in July in the journal Nature Climate Change said there was only a 5% chance of holding global warming under 2°C. For 1.5°C, the chance was about 1%. On current trends, some experts project Earth is on track to warm by about 3°C.
1.What is stressed about Asia’s mountain glaciers in the first paragraph?
A. The reason for its melting.
B. Its importance.
C. Its geographical condition.
D. The consequences caused by its decrease.
2.What do we know about the temperature on the earth’s surface?
A. It keeps up its normal level.
B. It has risen too much since the Paris Agreement was made.
C. It is far below the level that the Paris Agreement demands.
D. It is near the lower ceiling that the Paris Agreement demands.
3.How may we guarantee these glaciers, continued existence, according to researchers?
A. Hold global warming under 2°C.
B. Try to save water as much as we can.
C. Keep global temperature increase to a minimum.
D. Make the global temperature stable at its current level.
4.How does the author develop the passage?
A. Giving examples. B. Describing.
C. Presenting data. D. Comparing.
