课时31 特殊句式（一） Ⅰ.阅读理解A The UN weather agency warned on Tuesday there was a good chance of an “El Nino” climate phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean this year， bringing droughts and heavy rainfall to the rest of the world. “If an El Nino event develops， it will influence temperatures and rainfall and contribute to droughts or heavy rainfall in different regions of the world，” Michel Jarraud， WMO(世界气象组织) chief. WMO pointed out on Tuesday that since February， trade winds had weakened and there had been significant warming of the waters below the surface in the central Pacific. “While there is no guarantee that this situation will lead to an El Nino event， the longer the trade winds remain weakened， and subsurface temperatures stay significantly warmer than average， the higher the likelihood is，” it said. Two thirds of climate models predicted that the phenomenon would begin sometime between June and August， with a few suggesting it could start as early as May， and the remainder predicting no El Nino this year. El Nino is often followed by a return swing of the pendulum (钟摆) with La Ninain the central and eastern tropical Pacific. Scientists， who closely monitor the two climate patterns， say that while they are not caused by climate change， rising ocean temperatures caused by global warming may affect their intensity and frequency. “El Nino has an important warming effect on global average temperatures，” Jarraud warned， stressing that combined with human-induced warming from greenhouse gases， such events had “the potential to cause a dramatic rise in global mean temperature”.
