Ice is melting so fast in the Arctic that the North Pole will be in the open sea in 30 years,according to scientists.Ships will be able to sail over the top of the world and tourists will be able to visit what was,until climate change,one of the planet’s most inaccessible(难以到达的)landscapes.Some ice would still be found on coastlines(海岸线),especially Greenland and Ellesmere Island,but the rest of the Arctic Ocean,including the pole,would be open water.
Some leading climatologists(气候学家)said that the ice melting is likely to remain fairly constant until 2024 when there will be a sudden speeding up of the process.In 30 to 50 years,they concluded,summer sea ice will have disappeared around the entire Arctic region.
Their forecast may,however,already be out of date and over-optimistic, said Professor Chris Rapley,head of the British Antarctic Survey.He said a recent study by the Global Carbon Project suggested that emissions(排放物)were rising more than twice as fast as in 2000,which was likely to speed up ice-loss even further.
He described what he said as “worrying” but said it inosculated recent findings based on satellite observations of the speed at which ice was melting.Over the past 25 years,Arctic ice has been reduced by 25 percent,which is faster than before.And disappearing ice is already causing problems for the polar bear.Other wildlife,including seals(海豹),are also likely to suffer.“We have already witnessed major losses in sea ice,but our research suggests that the decrease over the next few decades could be far more terrible,”said Professor Chris Rapley.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。科学研究发现,冰川的融化进程将会加快,在未来的30年里北极将会是一片汪洋。
According to the text,the ice is melting so fast that in 30 years .
A.no ice could be found on coastlines
B.the Arctic Ocean will be open water completely
C.the North Pole will become the most popular tourist holiday zone
D.more people will probably visit the North Pole
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Shipswillbeabletosailoverthetopoftheworldandtouristswillbeabletovisit...inaccessible(难以到达)landscapes.”可知,随着冰川的融化,船只和游客可以很容易地进入到从前很难靠近的北极,由此可知到北极的游客数量可能会比从前多。
2.Some leading climatologists forecasted that the process of the ice melting .
A.may stop speeding up in 2024
B.will always keep constant
C.will suffer an unexpected change someday
D.may change all the time
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。由文中第二段的“...theicemeltingislikelytoremainfairlyconstantuntil2024whentherewillbeasuddenspeedingupoftheprocess.”可知,冰川融化的速度在2024年之前将保持不变,2024年后的某一天会突然加快。
3.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that .
A.what the climatologists said was not science-based
B.increasing emissions may speed up ice-loss
C.the ice melting will take a longer time than predicted
D.people should be positive towards the results of study
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知答案。
4.What is the main idea of this text?
A.The threat to the polar bear is coming near.
B.Greenland’s and Ellesmere Island’s ice will disappear in 30 years.
C.The ice in North Pole might wholly melt in several decades.
D.The emissions of carbon dioxide cause serious problems.
答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。通过阅读全文可知,本文主要讲述了北极冰川的融化,所以选C项。

When the holiday season began a few weeks ago,my wife suggested we start introducing our 9-year-old son to some of the movie classics by watching them with him,and when she mentioned It’saWonderfulLife,I rolled my eyes.I had seen it so many times before,and while it is truly one of my all-time favourites,did I really want to sit through it again?
But I relented,I watched it with both of them,and I am glad I did.And if you are a parent,and your child has never seen this movie,it really is worth watching it together.It was made in 1946 and stars James Stewart as the small town owner of a family-run bank who dreams of leaving in order to accomplish something “big and important”,but gets nothing.At last he is about to take his own life,but the people who love him have been praying for him,so God sends an angel,Clarence,to prevent his improper behaviour.When George states,“I wish I were never born,”Clarence shows him what life in the town and elsewhere would be like had that been the case.I’ll leave it at that,because if you haven’t seen it,I don’t want to tell you everything of the film.
I think it is a particularly important movie for young people because the messages it delivers are so powerful.The movie beautifully shows that so many times we are affecting others in beneficial ways without even realising that we are doing so.The movie tells us,“This is what is important,not that you are well-known,or make a lot of money,or are a super-successful executive/sports star/singer/actor,or have a certain body type or a beautiful face.”
I have been working with children and teenagers for over 30 years,and it’s hard for me to think of messages that are more important for young people today to learn,and it’s hard for me to think of a film that does a better job of it.

We all wish we had just a bit more time.Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine,or spring-clean the house,or write your novel,or learn the guitar and so on.
1 But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.
GetOutofBedEarlier
If you normally get up at 7:30 a.m.try getting up at 7:00 a.m.That half-hour might not sound like much,but it could be time that you use to exercise,to read that book you’ve been meaning to finish, 2
DotheImportantTasksFirst
Once you get to work,get the important ones done first (not the easy ones,or even the urgent ones).You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big,important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.
3 The urgent tasks will still get done,and you won’t miss the important ones.
ReduceInterruptions
If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat,or if the phone is constantly ringing,you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter.Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time,they also break your concentration.
When you’ve got a big task to focus on,let your calls go to voicemail. 4 Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.
5
A few minutes chatting,browsing the web,and so on,can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day.
When you’re working,work.If your concentration is slipping,take a proper break: go and get a glass of water,or stretch your legs a bit.And if you’re facing a difficult task,try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.
A.Stay Focused on Your Work
B.Take Breaks When Necessary
C.If you have an office door,close it.
D.If you work like this,you’ll usually save time.
E.Would you want me to make your day longer?
F.I can’t magically make all your days 25 hours long.
G.or simply to get your day off to a calm and organised start.
答案:1F 2G 3D 4C 5A
