Ⅱ.任务型阅读

(2019·南通、泰州模拟)Climate change has had a big impact on the timing of river floods across Europe over the past 50 years, according to a new study. In some regions, such as southern England, floods are now occurring 15 days earlier than they did half a century ago. But the changes aren't uniform, with rivers around the North Sea seeing floods delayed by around eight days.

Floods caused by rivers impact people more than any other natural disaster, and the estimated global damages run to over 100 billion dollars a year. Researchers have long predicted that a warming world would have direct impacts on these events but until now the evidence has been hard to establish. Floods are affected by many different factors in addition to rainfall, such as the amount of moisture (水分) already in the soil and other factors such as changes in land-use that can speed up water run-off (地表径流) from hillsides.

This new study looks at this issue in some depth, by creating a Europe-wide database of observations from 4,262 hydrometric stations in 38 countries, dating back to 1960. The analysis finds a clear but complex impact of climate change on river flooding. The most consistent changes are in north-eastern Europe around Scandinavia where earlier snow melt due to warmer temperatures is leading to earlier spring floods. Around 50% of monitoring stations are seeing floods eight days earlier than 50 years ago.

The biggest changes are seen along the western edge of Europe, from Portugal up to southern England. Half the stations recorded floods at least 15 days earlier than previously.

A quarter of the stations have seen flooding more than 36 days earlier than in 1960. In these regions, the issue isn't snow melt — it's more about soil of high humidity (湿度). Maximum rainfall tends to occur in the autumn and gets stored in the soils. Heavier and earlier rain means that the groundwater reaches capacity earlier.

In southern England, it has been raining more, longer and more intensely than in the past. This has created a rising groundwater table and higher soil moisture than usual and combined with intense rainfall that produces earlier river floods. However, around the North Sea, in the Netherlands, Denmark and Scotland, the trend is towards later floods. The scientists believe this is due to changes in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), the weather

phenomenon that pushes storms across the ocean into Europe. The NAO is driven by differences in atmospheric pressure between the Icelandic low and the Azores high. Recent, rapid changes in temperatures in the Arctic are influencing these pressure levels and changing the track of the storms as well. According to this study, the storms are arriving later and as a result some river flooding happens later too. This study shows clear evidence of the impacts of human-induced climate change in many regions — but there are still some areas of uncertainty. The study foresees subtle but significant impacts that could arise from the change in flood timing.

参考范文：

Due to their child's lying about the exam, a couple have a thorough discussion and decide to list some family rules, which they think will help regulate his behavior.

Family rules are an effective tool for motivating and disciplining children.First of all, under the guidance of family rules, every child in the family will become clear about parents' expectations.In addition, family rules help children understand what behaviors are acceptable, which can help children learn to observe rules in other places.

My family also has a list of family rules, which apply to not only me but also my parents.For instance, one of them is “Pick up after yourself”．We are expected to put away our stuff after we are done with it.It enhances household safety and cleanliness, helping me develop a good habit of keeping clean.

So let's work together to obey the family rules, which can result in a harmonious family relationship.
