10、i danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time to evacuate （撤出）as possible.

Dubbed Zealandia the landmass that lies east of Australia covers 4.9 million km. Over

16、94 percent of it is submerged (淹没的) in the southwest Pacific Ocean, with just the islands of New Zealand and New C aledonia visible above sea level.To be clear, the underwater land is not a recent find. Researchers have known about its existence since 1995 when Bruce Luyendyk discovered and proposed

17、 an eighth continent that he called Zealandia. At the time, the area was dismissed as a collection of islands and land fragments (碎片), or at the most, classified as a micro continenta landmass of continental crust that is not geologically connected to the nearest continent, in this case, Australia.H

18、owever, after observing the areas features on an underwater topography map, New Zealand geologist Nick became convinced that Zealandia is a continent. Mortimer says that while Zealandia is much smaller than our seven continents, at over half the size of Australia, it is unfair to classify it as a mi

19、crocontinent. The geologist argues, “If you could pull the plug on the worlds oceans, then Zealandia would probably long ago have been recognized as a continent.”Geologist Christopher Scotese argues that too much of the landmass is underwater, asserting its “almost a continent the way Pluto is almos

20、t a planet.” Richard Ernst, a geologist, proposes coining a new term minicontinentfor Zealandia. He thinks this is perfect given that it is too large to be called a microcontinent and too small to be classified as a full-sized continent. Given that there is no international panel to decide the fate

21、of Zealandia, its future as a continent is uncertain. Mortimer hopes that if supporters start using the term Zealandia, it may eventually catch on. Whether that happens remains to be seen, but for now, we will have to be satisfied with just seven continents!28. According to the text, Zealandia _.A.

What might be the best title for the text?A. Is Minicontinent a New Name for Zealandia?B. Is a Continent App

24、earing in the Pacific Ocean?C. Is the World Map Going to Be changed?D. Is Zealandia an Eighth Continent?(D)There have been many problems with our schools today, the biggest of which is closely related to our culture. In general, our culture, as represented in the media, gets excited by famous stars,

25、 and constantly stresses that its what you have, not what you are, that counts. Parents are encouraged to be away from even very small children for most of the day. Too many voters go for politicians who would rather cut school funding than to get rid of tax cuts for the wealthy. All contribute grea

26、tly to the problems of educating our children.Todays teachers have to deal with a culture that is vastly different than in the past. They report that there is, among more children than ever, a lack of motivation, no drive to succeed or even try. The role models that boys view in the media mostly con

27、sist of men in comedies and other shows who are rude and often extremely immature; self-centered overpaid athletes; men in movies, television dramas, video games, etc. who are preoccupied with violence and power. As Leonard Sax wrote in “Boys Adrift”, “Teenage boys are looking for models of mature a

28、dulthood, but we no longer make any collective effort to provide such models.” Girls are attacked not only with such annoying images of males, but also with women who are preoccupied with appearance and are extremely materialistic.In such a cultural environment, it is more important than ever to hav

29、e responsible, loving and caring parents who have enough time and motivation to devote to their children and see to it as their duty to model for them and raise them with high standards of honesty and responsibility along with tending to their physical needs. They need to care enough to see that the

30、ir children are not attacked with the garbage that comes from movie, television and computer screens.
