tuvalus nine little islands is more than five metres above sea level. salt water is already entering the countrys drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea. without urgent help, the countrys days are numbered.but tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. venice, a historic city in italy best known for its canals, has sunk about 24cm over the past 100 years. experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50cm by 2050.a century ago, st. marks square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine time a year. nowdays it happens more than 100 times.while venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands, tuvalus rising sea level is caused by global warming.the average global temperature has increased by almost 0.5 centigrade degree over the past century; scientists expect it to rise by an extra 1-3 degrees over the next 100 years.warmer weather makes glaciers（冰川） melt, adding more water to the ocean. the warmer temperatures also make water expand, so it take up more space, causing the sea level to rise. the sea level has risen about 10-25cm in the last 100 years.people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as co2, through burning coal, oil and gas. this adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.many scientists believe that, if the warming is not stopped, there will be huge climate changes. the sea level could rise by one metre this century.should this come true, millions of homes would be swallowed up by the sea and the world will be flooded with climate refugees looking for somewhere else to live.57we can infer from paragraph 2 that .atuvalu is in danger of being swallowed up

english杂志的读者来信片段（第6165题）。请从以下选项（a、b、c、d、e和f）中，为每封来信选取最佳的回信。选项有一项是多余项。61i am a reader of cr. recently i found students translate some articles of cr. i appreciate your offering an opportunity to us beginners to practise using english. so i want to ask how they can obtain these articles and translate them for you, and what qualities you require. thank you. 62i love your crazy english reader magazine! it provides valuable data for work in our english teaching. my wife and i are teaching conversational english so ive been giving you a bit of a plug at our middle school. i told the students to “get a copy”. its good stuff! fantastic!63im one of yaos fans from guangzhou. i have read some articles about yao ming in no. 7 crazy english reader. i want to know his correspondence address and the official website. could you please tell me? thank you very much indeed.64first of all, i must say thank you very much to all the cr reader editors who gave us a really good english magazine. secondly, i want to give you a piece of advice. in each passage, you gave us some new words with their chinese translation. however, as far as my knowledge, i think you should give us not only the chinese meaning but also the english meaning so as to know the words more accurately.65im an editor of the english monthly of our school. i have a question, that is, how to say the position of the paper e.g. , 编辑; 责任编辑and so on. i hope you can help me to tell me the word in english. the more the better. thank you so much! i love the book very much. now i do this work. i need to study more information about this work. if you have time, please email me. thank you.a. thank you for your suggestion. we may try that in some future issues of cr. i think the best way to improve your reading vocabulary is to be able to guess the meaning of the word from the other words around it. also, if you have an english dictionary, it is good to look up the words and them mark them down in a notebook and review them later on. then if you really want to learn how to use the words, try using them in conversation or in writing. hope this helps.b. the best way for you to learn the different positions in a newspaper or magazine is to get a copy of an all english magazine or newspaper and then copy down the different positions. there are also titles such as managing editor, reporter, copy editor, photo editor and layout editor. i hope this helps. if you have some more specific questions, you can send them to me and ill try to answer. c. the best way to reach yao directly is through his home team, the shanghai sharks. you can write to him at 2570 xietu road, shanghai. for more information on yao, you can look at the sports section in sina. com. i hope this helps. another idea is that you can try to write to yao while he is living and playing in houston. you can try to reach yao in the us at: yao ming compaq center 10 houston, tx 77046.d. thank you for being such a cheerful reader of cr. yes, youre right we made a mistake in the writing of that chinese word. each issue we try to read very carefully each article and its translation to make sure there are no mistakes, but unfortunately a few mistakes always get by. but you encourage us to keep improving, so thank you. e. yes, we do have several students who help us translate some of the articles in our magazine. we contact these translators directly after interviewing their translation work. afterwards we assign the articles to them for translation. if you are interested in being one of our translators you can send us some information about yourself and a sample of your translation work. f. thank you for helping us to promote cr. were glad its helpful to your students. we always try to include articles that reflect real life. its our hope that cr will not only improve students english but also open up a different worldview.walk through the amazon rainforest today and you will find it is steamy, warm, damp and thick. but if you had been around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same? for more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the amazon might have reacted（反应）to the cold, dry climates of the ice ages, but until now, no one has reached a satisfying answer. rainforests like the amazon are important for mopping up co2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming. currently the trees in the amazon take in around 500 million tones of co2 each year; equal to the total amount of co2 giving off in the uk each year. but how will the amazon react to future climate change? if it gets drier ,will it still survive and continue to draw down co2 ? scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past. unfortunately, getting into the amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult. to study past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen, kept in lake muds. going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments （沉淀物）, which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery . there are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes. rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest ,but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled（未取样）. so far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the amazon rainforest reacts to climate change. 1. the underlined phrase “mopping up” in the second paragraph means _.a. cleaning up b. taking in c. wiping out d. giving out 答案解析：答案为b。本题为词义推断题。结合上下文，与mopping up并列的是 “helping to slow global warming”，由此可以推断，mop up 就是去除co2；并且后面的 “currently the trees in the amazon take in around 500 million tones of co2 each year”中的 “take in” 也对此进行了呼应，故答案为b。“clean up”意为 “清洁”； “wipe out” 意为 “消灭，彻底摧毁”； “give out”意为“分发，散发”。2. how will the amazon rainforest react to future climate change?a. itll get drier and continue to remove c o 2.b. itll remain steamy, warm, damp and thickc. itll get warmer and then colder and drier.d. there is no exact answer up to present.答案解析：答案为d。本题为细节题。第二段提出问题，第三段进行探索问题。结合第三段首句 “unfortunately, getting into the amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult.” 和最后一句 “so far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the amazon rainforest reacts to climate change.” 可知，收集信息非常困难，即使目前收集到的一点信息也没有哪一点可以作出证明。故答案为d。3. whats the main idea of the last paragraph?a. its important to drill deep down into lake sediments to collect information.b. its impossible to prove how climate changes in the amazon rainforest.c. its hard to collect information for studies of the past climate in the amazon rainforest.d. its necessary to have specialized equipment and machinery to study the past climate. 答案解析：答案为c。从第三段的最后一句话 “so far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the amazon rainforest reacts to climate change.” 可知，答案为c。b选项显得绝对。4. the best title for this passage may probably be_.a. studies of the amazon b. climates of the amazonc. secrets of the rainforests d. changes of the rainforests答案解析：答案为c。 本文第一段前两句提出问题，第三句话引入文本的讨论点：热带雨林的变化。下文以亚马逊热带雨林为例进行研究，最终发现很难收集资料去证明热带雨林的变化，热带雨林的秘密有待人们去探索。故答案为c。本文的重心是在讨论如何收集到足够的证据来证明热带雨林的变化，而不是揭示热带雨林有何变化。故排除干扰性最强的d选项。bwind is the great maker of waves. there are exceptions, such as the tidal (潮汐的) waves sometimes produced by earthquakes under the sea. but the waves most of us know are produced by winds blowing over the sea.now before constructing an imaginary life history of a typical wave, we need to know certain physical things about it. a wave has height, from trough (low point) to crest (high point). it has long-the distance from this crest to that of the following wave. the period of the wave means the time it takes for succeeding crests to pass a fixed point. none of these things stays the same-for all depend upon the wind, upon the depth of the water and many other matters.the water that makes up a wave does not advance with it across the sea. each drop of water turns around in a little circle with the passin
