27、SHEET with a single line through the center. 31 In the world of climate change, it is in the Earths Cold regions where trends can most easily be seen. The cryosphere, where water is found in solid form, is among the most sensitive regions to temperature change. The sensitivity of ice and snow to tem
28、perature changes is an early indicator of even relatively small differences, says University of Colorado at Boulder senior researcher Richard Armstrong. He has found that todays receding and thinning sea ice, mountain glacier mass losses, decreasing snow extent, melting permafrost (永久冻土 ), and risin
29、g sea level are all consistent with warming. Global mean temperatures have risen one degree Fahrenheit over the past 100 years, with more than half of the increase occurring in the last 25 years, observes Armstrong who is affiliated with the National Snow and Ice Data Center headquartered at CU-Boul
30、der. “As slight as that may seem, its enough to make a difference,“ said Armstrong. “Now, long-term monitoring of a series of cold region, or cryospheric, parameters (参数 ) shows that for several decades the amounts of snow and ice around the world have been decreasing. “ The extent of Arctic sea ice
31、 is shrinking by about 3 percent per decade, but the trends are not uniform. While recent studies have indicated that the ice thickness also had decreased over several decades, new information shows that the ice may have thinned rapidly, Armstrong said. Examination of springtime ice thickness in the
32、 Arctic Ocean indicates that the mean ice thickness decreased 1.5 meters (4. 8 feet) between the mid-1980s and early 1990s. To mark its 25th anniversary, the National Snow and Ice Data Center has organized a special session at the 2001 Fall Meeting of American Geophysical Union, taking place this we
33、ek in San Francisco, that illuminates overall changes in the cryosphere. The session begins Tuesday and extends through Thursday afternoon, with 75 contributions from all areas of cryospheric study. Papers and posters include examinations of lake and river ice, glacier dynamics, and mass ice balance
34、 studies in polar and continental glaciers, regional and polar snow cover trends, and variations in Canadian ice cap elevations. 31 Trends of climate change can be most easily sensed _ . （ A） in the oceans （ B） in icy and snowy regions （ C） on high mountains （ D） in the south hemisphere 32 The signs
35、 of global warming include all of the following EXCEPT _ . （ A） thinning sea ice （ B） decreasing snow extent （ C） melting permafrost （ D） falling sea level 33 According to Armstrong, _ . （ A） slight changes in global mean temperature are insignificant （ B） the amounts of snow and ice around the worl
36、d began to decrease in the 1990s （ C） the past 100 years witnessed the greatest rise in global mean temperature in human history （ D） the global mean temperature increased more than 0.5 degree Fahrenheit in the last 25 years 34 Studies have indicated that _ . （ A） the extent of Arctic sea ice has sh
37、runk by about 3% in the Past several decades （ B） the mean ice thickness in the Arctic Ocean decreased 1.5 meters in the 1990s （ C） the amount of ice around the world has been decreasing for several decades （ D） the ice thickness decreased most rapidly between the mid-1980s and the 1990s 35 The spec

39、iscuss changes in the cryosphere 36 What began with the invention of the telephone in 1876 has today become a global net of cables, satellites, transmitters, and receivers that enables half the population of the planet to exchange works, data, and images in seconds. It could take less than 25 years
40、more to give the other half of the worlds people this same power. The unified global telecommunications system, which is called “the Meganet, represents the greatest construction project ever undertaken. If present trends continue, by early in the 21st century the Meganet will link every computer te
41、rminal, fax machine, databank, and telephone instrument on earth. Unlike its anarchic (无政府主义的 ) cousin the Internet, which evolved from free interaction among interest groups of computer users, the Meganet of local telephone service, long-distance lines, communications satellites, and mobile relays
42、has been planned, constructed, regulated and largely sponsored by governments and for-profit business interests. As new materials and technologies bring reliable voice and data links to formerly isolated or closed communities, political and economic power struggles grow. The Meganet breaks long-esta
43、blished patterns of social identity and responsibility. Where private individuals have uncensored access to global information sources, local standards of legality or decency become difficult even to set, let alone to enforce. Economic values may shift, too. Public utility companies have long suppli
44、ed electric power over miles of high-tension lines, or pumped water through underground pipelines into thousands of homes. Now they are finding that their power-line rights-of-way and physical into-home connections let them compete with cable TV and phone companies to supply information services as
45、well. Meganet impacts are often double-edged for finance and business, too. New Yorks Wall Street district lost 20% of its work forcesome 100 000 jobsin less than a decade, as computers took over tasks once performed by clerks and banks did more of their business by phone transfers and automated tel
46、ler machines. 36 “The Meganet“ is _ . （ A） sponsored by governments （ B） similar to its cousin the Internet （ C） the continuity of the Internet （ D） evolved from spontaneous interaction among interest groups of computer users 37 According to the passage, what is the difference between “the Meganet“
47、and Internet? （ A） Both of them are developed by some interest groups of computer users. （ B） Meganet is the continuity of Internet. （ C） Meganet is planned and regulated, while Internet is disorganized. （ D） Meganet has fewer users than Internet. 38 Meganet is changing human life largely because _
48、. （ A） the individuals are able to link to the global information sources without any control （ B） people accept the standards of legality consciously （ C） it is not necessary to set some standards of decency （ D） lots of people neednt work any more 39 The word “uncensored“ (Line 2, Para. 4) probabl
49、y means _ . （ A） unguarded （ B） unchecked （ C） unidentified （ D） unwarranted 40 What kind of opinion does the author have toward the Meganet impacts? （ A） Objective. （ B） Subjective. （ C） Appreciating. （ D） Criticizing. 40 In the past, young people in Japan were expected to take on responsibilities to support their parents and grandparents. Now they expect to be supported well into young adulthood. The “
