A Travel website.BBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the worlds oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At t

18、he heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms (海洋微生物) called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytopla

19、nkton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the oceans appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury

20、 carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the oceans warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow,

21、 but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MITs Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3, it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects

22、that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing. ” she said, “b

23、ut the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.What

24、ever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “Itll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the

25、 colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”24. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A. The various patterns at the ocean surface.B. The cause of the changes in ocean colour.C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.D. The effo

26、rts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.25. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Sensitive. B. Beneficial. C. Significant. D. Unnoticeable.26. What can we learn from the passage?A. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.B. Dutkiewiczs model

27、aims to project phytoplankton changes.C. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.27. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.B. To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain

28、.C. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.D. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.CEnter Nick Spiglers room and youll find the delicate nest of a tree swallow and rows of books about birds. Clearly, this 16-year-old boy has his head in the clouds and his feet off the ground.

29、 Several times a week, Ellie Andreen, 15, visits a park near her home to check on her little family. The boxes she placed there last winter have produced several babies of bluebirds, which Ellie fusses over like a mother hen.These young bird-watchers are not the only youngsters who enjoy birding in

30、the United States county of Harford, Maryland. Local schools there offer programs in ornithology (鸟类学), even if some kids cant yet spell the word.Both Nick and Ellie took up birding early on. They call themselves the Early Birds, Feathered Friends or Bird Buddies. Once a month, they join groups of 2

31、0 to 30 students to walk through nearby fields before class at 7:30 am, hoping to spot a woodpecker (啄木鸟) or oriole (黄鹂) with binoculars (望远镜).“Being part of the bird club since second grade made it seem more common than just some strange hobby,” Nick said. “I had to get up at 6:30 am for the walks.

32、 That was for the birds, so I didnt mind.”Since then, he has attended bird camps, studied bird habits and migratory patterns, and personally seen 190 of the more than 400 species in Maryland.Raising youth awareness is a must, longtime birders say. Mary Murray, 65, a leading member of the Harford Bir

33、d Club, said, “These children are going to inherit Earth, and we need to teach them early how to take care of it. Birds are an indicator species, like canaries (金丝雀) in a coal mine, and if kids pay attention to what birds are doing, they will understand the health of their environment.”28. What does

34、 the underlined phrase “fusses over” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. looks at B. fights with C. plays with D. gives attention to29. What do we know about bird-watching in Harford County?A.

It will allow them to know more about different species.B. It will improve their understanding of their environment.C. It will teach them how to appre

36、ciate non-bird species.D. It will raise their awareness of teamwork.31. What is the best title for the passage?A. Bird protection is in actionB. Bird camps in MarylandC. How to take care of birds?D. Nick Spiglers bluebird boxesDIn the famous musical My Fair Lady, Eliza Doolittle, the poor daughter o

37、f a dustman who speaks with a thick Cockney accent, becomes the unwitting (不知晓的) target for a bet between two phonetics scholars. By the end of the musical, Doolittle is able to pronounce all of her words like a member of the British elite (精英), fooling everyone at an embassy (大使馆) ball about her tr

38、ue origins.Its hard to imagine a version of My Fair Lady set in the U.S. because, unlike the British, Americans seem either unwilling or unable to honestly acknowledge their own social class. But a new set of scientific studies conducted by Michael Kraus and his colleagues at Yale University show th

39、at Americans find it easy to make distinctions about other peoples social class just by listening to them speak.In one study, the researchers asked 229 people to listen to 27 different speakers who varied in terms of their age, race, gender and social class. The participants heard each speaker say a

40、 total of seven different words. Based on just this short audio, participants were able to correctly identify which speakers were college-educated 55 percent of the timemore than what would be expected by chance. A major limitation of this study, however, was that it used college education as a crit

41、erion (评判标准) for social class.Then in another experiment, 302 participants were asked to either listen to or read transcripts (文本) from 90 seconds of recorded speech in which the speakers talked about themselves without explicitly mentioning anything about their social class. Participants were asked

42、 to judge what they thought the social classes of the speakers were by using a 10-rung ascending (上升的) ladder of increasing income, education and occupation. They found that participants who heard the audio recordings were more accurate in judging where the speakers fell in terms of their social sta

43、tus. To show whether these inferences have real-world consequences, Kraus and his colleagues ran another experiment. They recruited 274 participants, all of whom had past hiring experience, to either listen to the audio or read a transcript of the content. The findings showed that participants were

44、able to accurately judge the social class of the candidates and that this effect was stronger for participants who had heard the audio recordings. In addition, participants judged the higher-class candidates as more competent, a better fit for the job and more likely to be hired. Taken together, thi

45、s research suggests that despite our discomfort about the topic, Americans are able to easily detect one anothers social class from small snippets (片段) of speech. Moreover, we use this information to discriminate against people who seem to be of a lower social class. This research identifies social

46、class as another potential way that employers may discriminate against candidates, perhaps without even realizing it.32. The author introduces his topic by_.A. making a comparison B. justifying an assumptionC. explaining a phenomenon D. relating the plot of a musical33. What do the experiments sugge

47、st?A. Participants tend to make objective judgments.B. The content rather than the speaking style is reliable.C. Ones social class can be inferred from how they speak.D. Education and income are the main criteria for social status.34. According to the passage, judgments about the way people talk_.A.

48、 disagree with the facts B. affect hiring decisionsC. favour competent people D. hardly provide reference35. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. Americans are slow to judge social classes. B. People in a low social class lose jobs easily.C. Social-class discrimination is hard to address.

49、D. Speech can create social-class discrimination.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。It is known to us that every year of high school is a tough and busy time._36_ We all know that not getting enough sleep is not good for our health, but it has been found that less sl
