pointed out to the worlds politicians and planners: sea-level rise is now unavoidable不可避免, it will happen faster than expected, and it will go on for a very long time. even if greenhouse gas emissions排放stopped tomorrow, the oceans will continue to become larger as they get warmer. the climate scientists estimate that sea-level rise may be in the range of 1 to 2 meters by 2100, with a small risk of an even greater rise. for many islands and low-lying regions, even small rises will cause disasters. but for most countries, the problem is what has been built on that land: new york, sydney and tokyo, to mention just a few cities. unless something is done, great areas of urban network will disappear underwater. it will take a great engineering effort to protect these cities an effort that may be far beyond economies that have been brought to their knees. none of this means we should fear, and stop trying to forbid emissions. but together with these efforts, we need to start acting now and we must stop building in danger zones. billions of dollars are being spent on constructing homes, offices and roads in vulnerable coastal areas. for example, the skyscrapers of shanghai are being built on land that is only 4 meters above sea level on average, and they are sinking under the weight of the buildings. therefore, planning for new coastal developments is to go against reality. if we build a lasting building for our children, we should do so on the land that is in no danger from the sea. its one of the good ways to slow down climate change, and we should be acting on it now.66. the most possible reason for the rising of sea levels should bea. developing coastal areasb. temperature change of the oceans c. greenhouse gas emissiond. fast city development and expansion67. new york, sydney, and tokyo are mentioned in this passage to showa. climate changes have been completely out of controlb. modern cities are usually built along the coastlinec. the coastline is very important for modern countriesd. climate changes will seriously damage economies68. the effort to protect coastal cities may be far beyond economies because a. protecting cities may cost even more than what they get. b. people have no interest in developing their economy c. economy development has made climate change worse d. much money has been wasted building coastal cities69. the underlined划线 word in the last paragraph probably means _.a. safe b. weak c. beautiful d. strong70. according to the author, we should _ to deal with sea level rise.a. move big cities like new york and shanghai to higher places b. stop building skyscrapers in big cities like sydney and tokyo c. realize the danger of greenhouse gas emission into the oceand. build cities on the land free from the danger of sea level rise d“tweenager” is the new term being used in the uk to describe kids at either 812 or 1013 years old.more and more companies are beginning to create products and services for tweenagers. the disney company sells music and film to tweenagers and their parents. you can get everything from lunchboxes and mobile phone covers, to monthly fan magazines and clothing. its all about sales, which suggests that tweenagers must have more money, freedom and influence upon their parents than theyve ever had before.most kids in the uk today get more pocket money than kids did ten years ago. parents have more money to give their kids than before, since parents are having fewer children. in addition, the divorce离婚 rate in the uk is continually rising and parents spend less time with their children than they used to, so many parents try to please their children by buying them presents. its a bad habit for both parents and kids to get into, but parents are under pressure from commercial marketing and the pleas请求 of their children.uk kids today are very media and computer-literate. a lot of kids have a tv, if not a computer, in their bedrooms. they have easy access to much more information about life and the world. they may have experienced a lot in life as well, since 24% of uk kids live in single-parent families, so people now say that “kids are getting older younger”. with such maturity 成熟at such a young age, its no wonder tweenagers are able to influence their parents and have more freedom than previous generations.uk tweenagers never used to be worried about spending money on clothes. thats changed. now, they are much more fashion时尚 conscious and concerned about their image形象. many of them outgrow the bright colors and fashions of kids years ago and go for something darker and more rebellious叛逆.surely none of the above is a good thing. the uk government is certainly concerned, and for that reason has strict laws preventing companies from marketing their products and services at children.71.
