    The Sea

    What do you know about the sea?We know that it looks very pretty when the sun is shining on it.We
    also know that it can be very rough when there is a strong wind.What other things do we know about it?The
    first thing to remember is that the sea is very big.When you look at the map of the world you will find there
    is more water than land.The sea covers three quarters of the world.
    The sea is also very deep in some places.It is not deep everywhere.Some parts of the sea are very shal-
    low.But in some places the depth of the sea is very great.There is one spot,near Japan,where the sea is
    nearly 11 kilometers deep!The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high.If that mountain
    were put into the sea at that place,there would be 2 kilometers of water above it！What a deep place!
    If you have swum in the sea,you know that it is salty.You can taste the salt,Rivers,which fi0w into the
    sea.carry salt from the land into the sea.Some parts of the sea are saltier than other parts,There i、one sea,
    called the Dead Sea,which is very salty.It is so salty that swimmers cannot sink!Fish cannot live in the
    Dead Sea!
    In most parts of the sea,there are plenty of fishes and plants.Some live near the top of the sca.Othurs
    live deep down.There are millions of tiny living things that float in the sea.These floating things are so small
    that it is hard to see them.Many fish live by eating them.
    The sea can be very cold.Divers,who go deep down in the sea,know this.On the top the water may be
    warm.When the diver goes downwards,the sea becomnes colder and colder. Another thing happens.When the
    diver goes deeper,the water above presses down on him.It squeezes him.Then the diver has to wear clothes
    made of metal.But he cannot go very deep.Some people who wanted to go very deep used a very strong diving
    ship!They went down to the deepest part of the sea in it.They went down to a depth of eleven kilometers!

    The sea is 6 kilometers in depth on average.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案：C
    解析：
    第一段说“当阳光普照大海时大海看起来很美丽”，但并没说“风平浪静”时也是如此。
    第一段的最后一句话说海洋覆盖了地球四分之三的面积，由此可推知陆地只占地球 25％的面积。
    第二段涉及大海的深度，但并没说到“平均深度”。
    第二段说死海咸度大，鱼类不能生存，但并没说所有生物都不能生存。
    第四段说在绝大多数海域，有丰富的鱼类和植物，有些生活在海洋表层，有些居住在深 海，因此说越往海洋深处鱼类和植物越少是没有道理的。
    由第五段可知潜水员潜得越深，其承受的水压就越大。

  • 第13题：

    The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 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-populated 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 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 to 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．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 models 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.

    What happens when the ocean's temperature rises?

    A.It causes sea levels to ris
    B.It causes sea levels to decreas
    C.It causes sea levels to remain unchange
    D.It causes sea flood all over the glob
