25、ed the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London. Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar stor
26、ms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and interact links sending five Olympic broadcast from London. The Suns activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of communications satellites, said
27、Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射 ) occur in the Suns atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electrically-charged matter. A coronal mass eject
28、ion can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power failures on Earth and disturb communications, Professor Harrison added. The risk is the greatest during a solar m
29、aximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots. Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available. The
30、 Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑 ) and explosions as they occur. Professor Richard Harrison, the labs director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to
31、 affect satellite communications on Earth If we have advanced warning, well be able to reduce the damage.

Migrating or mobile
37、animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas. Birds may fly from one part of the world to another, perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way. Whales and turtles (海龟 ) cover vast areas of ocean. The report says that changes in any one of t
38、he places which these animals use can cause serious harm. Obviously these animals have developed their travelling patterns over thousands of years. But climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits
39、fast enough, said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth. Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles. Scientists have found that at higher temperatures, turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones. In parts of Malaysia, turtle birthing sites are producing only females, the report says. It
40、also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer. With birds, the main problem is climate-related damage to important areas at either end of the travels or at resting places along the way. About one-fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because
41、 of climate-related changes including rising sea levels, land loss and more violent storms, the report concludes. Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include: the North Atlantic Right Whale, whose main food (tiny shrimp) is disturbed by the change in ocean flows and the White-Nose Dol
42、phin, which is out-competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters. The report is not all bad news. Even with major climatic changes, protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover. We need governments to start taking action at the national and international lever. “The clo
43、ck is running.” said Dr Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting, with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviour, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat. 【小题 1】 What is the main topic of the text A The effect of climate change on migrating animals. B How
44、 animals are adapting to changes in temperature. C The actions required to save migrating animals. D The need for government policies to prevent global warming. 【小题 2】 By saying the clock is running in the last paragraph, Dr Hepworth means that “_”. A it may be too late to save some animals B it is
45、time to start protecting the animals C there is not much time to solve the problem D it takes time to complete the actions 【小题 3】 According to the report, how will global warming affect turtles in the future A They will only produce female babies. B Their food supply will gradually disappear. C Some
46、 will suffer from higher rates of cancer. D They will be in greater danger because of more violent storms. 【小题 4】 Which of the following is mentioned as a consequence of rising temperatures A More storms will affect the ability of whales to find their feeding grounds. B 20 percent of all birds are l
47、ikely to die out because of land loss. C Migrating animals are likely to start adapting to the changes more quickly. D Warmer oceans will increase the competition between different kinds of dolphins. 【小题 5】 What can be inferred (推断 ) about turtles from the text A They are the only animals besides hu
48、mans that suffer from cancer. B They have traditionally lived longer than other ocean-based animals. C Those born nearer a hotter area are more likely to be female. D Most kinds of turtles are likely to die out within 50 years. 答案： 【小题 1】 A 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 D 【小题 5】 C FOR many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare.
