1、阅读理解-细节理解三1、 As the Earth warms from the increase of carbon dioxide in its atmosphere, the oceans that cover 70 percent of its surface are warming too. This warming will likely benefit some sea species at the expense of others. A study in the May 20 issue of the journal Nature confirmed that there h
2、as been a warming trend in the worlds oceans since 1993, as the waters have absorbed much of the extra energy in the planets atmosphere. The warming that has already occurred, and is expected to continue in the coming decades, will likely spell bad news for many ocean species, such as corals and spe
3、cies that live in the cold waters of the planets poles. But some creatures beneath the ocean surface might actually have an advantage in the newly wanned waters. A 2008 study, for example, said that a warming of just a few degrees Fahrenheit in Antarctic waters could make them suitable to sharks,whi
4、ch havent lived in the area for about 40 million years. Its easier for sharks to keep their high metabolism in warmer waters. If sharks do move into the area,they could cause damage to the existing ecosystems of the oceans around Antarctica. A study of starfish found these typical ocean creatures gr
5、ew faster in water at warmer temperatures and higher carbon dioxide levels ( another result of all the extra greenhouse gas in the atmosphere) than at normal conditionswhich is bad news for the shellfishes they live on. Work by Jeremy Jackson, a professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at th
6、e University of California at San Diego, suggests that ocean warmingalong with other threats such as overfishing and habitat destructioncould change once complex ocean ecosystems into ones that favor simpler species, such as microbes, toxic algal blooms and jellyfishes.1.How is Paragraph 3 developed

10、rfax, Virginia. He says students in his beginning phonetics class are mostly interested in teaching English as a second language. They wanted to study how non-native speakers pronounce different sounds. So we sent the students out to record non-native speakers, and we compared those speakers to each
11、 other and to native speakers of English,” said Steven Weinberger. Professor Weinberger wrote a paragraph for all of the speakers to read. The paragraph uses common words but contains almost all of the sounds used in English. Here is that sixty-nine-word paragraph: “Please call Stella. Ask her to br

Professor Weinberger says the site gets a million visits a month and would like more people to send in theirown samples of the sixty-nine-word paragraph. Steven Weinberger said, Right now we only have sa
15、mples from about 350 languages, including English. You know, there are 6, 000 languages in the world today, so we need lots more. Thats why the archive work will never be finished.1.Why did Professor Weinberger let his students record non-native speakers?A.Most of his students are interested in phon
