5、e worlds oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate,according to a new study.At the 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 surf

6、ace.Ocean colour varies from green to blue,depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton.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

7、carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)into the ocean while giving off oxygen.When these organisms die,they bury 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

8、affect phytoplankton growth,since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz,a scientist in MITs Centre 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 fou

9、nd that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur.The model projects 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

10、 only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing,”she said,“but 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 a

11、ble to survive.”Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever 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 happenin

12、g because of climate change,”Dutkiewicz said,“but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”1.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?A.The various patterns at the ocean surface.B.The cause of the changes in ocean co

13、lour.C.The way light reflects off marine organisms.D.The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.2.What does the underlined word“vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Sensitive.B.Beneficial.C.Significant.D.Unnoticeable.3.What can we learn from the passage?A.Phytoplankton play a declining ro

14、le in the marine ecosystem.B.Dutkiewiczs model aims to project phytoplankton changes.C.Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.D.Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.4.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.B.To analys

15、e the composition of the ocean food chain.C.To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.D.To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.BThe African elephant,the largest land animal remaining on Earth,is of great importance to African ecosystem(生态系统).Unlike other animals,the African elepha

16、nt is to a great extent the builder of its environment.As a big plant-eater,it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(稀树草原) surroundings in which it lives,therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.It is the elephants great desire for food that mak

17、es it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat.In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day,it kills small trees and underbrushes,and pulls branches off big trees.This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in t

18、he woodlands that cover part of the African savannas.In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.Take the rain forests for example.In their natural state,the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of

19、plants on the forest floor.By pulling down trees and eating plants,elephants make open spaces,allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor.In such situations,the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.What worries

20、scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species.If the elephant disappears,scientists say,many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna,greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.5.What is the passage mainly about?A.Disappearance of

21、 African elephants.B.Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.C.The effect of African elephants search for food.D.The eating habit of African elephants.6.What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?A.Fixing the time.B.Worsening the state.C.Improving the quali

22、ty.D.Deciding the conditions.7.What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?A.They result from the destruction of rain forests.B.They provide food mainly for African elephants.C.They are home to many endangered animals.D.They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.8.Accord

23、ing to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The African elephant is the largest animal on Earth.B.African elephants have 300 pounds of plants every day,including small trees and underbrushes.C.The African elephant is in a way the builder of the environment like other land animals.

24、D.If the African elephant disappears,the whole ecosystem wont be affected.四、七选五阅读理解Are we aware in protecting the environment?1 Lets take a review of how important environment is and how to protect it.2There are many organisations,at a local,national and international level devoted to the environmen

25、tal protection.Together they form the Green Movement.Whenever a habitat is threatened(威胁) by industry or development,the Green Movement takes the side of the environment.These groups already enjoy considerable public support.3Unless people understand how threats to the environment affect them,they c

26、annot see the importance of environmental protection.Encourage organic(有机的) farming.Farming without chemicals is known as organic farming.In several countries,organic produce has become very popular.Because no chemicals are used to grow the food,there are none to enter the human food chain.4Save the

27、 Rainforest.In developing countries,action is finally being taken to save the rainforests.In Africa,the Ivory Coast recently banned all timber exports.In Central America,the government of Panama made it illegal to cut down any tree more than five years old.5 As everybody knows,timber exports have be

28、en a major source of income for them.It is difficult to persuade poor people in developing countries of the importance of saving the forests.They need more food and want to use the land to grow crops on.What matters is not just our enjoyment of nature,but the future of life on Earth.A.But their most

29、 important work is education.B.Is there anything we can do about it?C.Why are people determined to take actions?D.Join the Green Movement.E.Such actions show great determination.F.Found organisations to protect our environment.G.In addition,people think it will save the environment.五、语篇填空Nowadays,ou
