23、st 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday. Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is covering small island nations and threatening to destroy the low-lying, densely-popu

24、lated low regions around the globe.The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences rising oceans. It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on

25、 Climate Change (IPCC), according to the authors.Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice. Both processes are caused by global warming. The ice sheet that sits atop Greenland, for example, contains enough water t

26、o raise world ocean levels by seven meters, which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai.Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say.

27、 But up to now, there has been a puzzling gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans.The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reunite the model

28、s with observed data. Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 meters from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC.（分数：12.00）(1).What happens when the oceans

31、 finding of the study?A. The warming of the worlds oceans is not a threat.B. That not enough is being done about global warming.C. There is a puzzling gap between the model and observations.D. Ocean waters have warmed faster than scientists had previously thought.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Here are two letter

32、s from our readers expressing their concern about school assessment (评价):(1)Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades (学习成绩). Fortunately, most educators realize that students have different interests and abilities. However, grade-based assessment is still very common. Grades

33、 often hold back creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to go in for music, drama and sports. Grades are also an unfair measure of a student s ability. I do not demand, as some extremists do, that grades should no longer be recorded. However, I do bel

34、ieve that less importance should be placed on. grades. I hope that someday grades will become optional(可选择的) at Village High School.Magdalena Smith, PresidentDrama Club(2)Let s face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions(功能). First, grades get students to work at their highest

35、level of competence (能力). Second, they act as an encouragement for hard-working students and as a warming to those who are not. Finally, grades are an effective standard by which to measure students achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university.Ive spoken with a numbe

36、r of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired mainly because of their grades. My grades helped me get a part-time job and will help me into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.Simon Harper, Member,Science Club（分数：12.00）(1).Simo

37、n Harper writes from the viewpoint of someone who_A. insists grades should become optional in the near futureB. believe in the advantages of assessment based on gradesC. is concerned about improving students creativityD. supports using students interests to measure their abilities（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2

39、RUE about Village High School?A. Grades are effective in every way.B. Grades hold back students creativity.C. Grades bring about unnecessary worries.D. Grades are still in use at present.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What are the two letters mainly about?A. The role that grades should play in assessing stude

40、nts.B. The importance of art and music in students life.C. The need to have a standard measure for students success.D. The reasons why grades shouldnt be used to assess students.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharp

41、er in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1947), concluded from other mens work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is m

42、uch more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to

43、 be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring mans mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thi

44、nking!（分数：12.00）(1).Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have_.A. a great effect on everyones intelligenceB. same effect on most persons intelligenceC. some effect on a few persons intelligenceD. no effect on most persons intelligence（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It seems that the cold w

45、inter_.A. increases the ability to thinkB. is the best time for thinkingC. is better for thinking than is very warm weatherD. decreases the ability to think（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that_.A. all nature, including man, is growing thenB. it

47、C.D.There is one thing that everyone wants more than anything else. Some people try to get it by making money. They think that when they have enough money to buy such things as houses, farms, and cars, they will have the one thing that everyone wants.Other people believe that if they know enough the

48、y will find this thing. They study all their lives in search of it. Still others think that if they have power, they will find this thing. They keep telling themselves: when I am a boss, I will no longer have to search for this thing.What is it that everyone wants more than anything else? What is it

49、 that all of us keep working and striving for each day? It is happiness.Happiness is a strange thing. It does not mean the same to all men. What will make one man happy may not make another man happy. Some men say that happiness comes from helping others; other men say that happiness comes from making life more pleasant for everyone. What do you mean when you say
