the Earth s ozone layer 臭氧层 has until now protected Antarctica from the worst effects of global warming But scientists have warned that as the hole closes up in the next few decades temperatures on the continent could rise by around 3 on average with melting ice contributing to a global sea level increase of up to 1 4 metres In the past decades the western Antarctic has seen rapid ice loss as the world has warmed but the other parts of the continent have paradoxically been cooling resulting in a 10 increase in ice in the seas around the region This is because the hole in the ozone layer has increased cold winds in Antarctica making much of the continent surface colder than usual But now that the gasses that cause the ozone hole have been banned scientists expect the hole to repair itself within the next 50 to 60 years By then the cooling effect will have faded out and the Antarctic will face the full impact of global warming This means an increase in average air temperatures of around 3 and a reduction in sea ice by around a third The biggest threat to the continent comes from warming seas Robert Johnson a scientist who monitors Antarctica ice sheets said The ice sheets in Antarctica are hundreds of metres thick But once warm ocean waters start flowing underneath the ice will begin thinning and could break up very quickly Thinning ice sheets cause ice to break away from the continent and to melt even faster Escaping ice from western Antarctica has already resulted in a 10 rise in global sea level in recent decades Johnson believes that international action to reduce global warming is required immediately or it may be too late Everything is connected Antarctica may be a long way away but it is an important part of the Earth s system said Johnson It contains 90 of the world s ice 70 of the world s fresh water and that is enough if it melts completely to raise sea levels by 63 metres Even in a worse case situation scientists don t expect the ice to entirely disappear but predict that because of the melting ice sheets average sea level rise will be around 1 4 metres higher by the end of the century 16 The underlined word paradoxically in Paragraph 2 most probably means A rapidly B approximately C contradictorily D apparently 17 What is the effect of the hole in the ozone layer on Antarctica A It is causing the ice to melt faster B It is making much of the continent colder C It is making the effects of global warming in the region worse 用心 爱心 专心 3 D It is reducing the amount of water in Antarctica 18 What do scientists think is the biggest danger facing Antarctica A Rising sea levels B Warming sea water temperature C Water pollution D Growing ice sheets 19 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage A Antarctica is currently experiencing the full effects of global warming B The average temperature has increased by 3 in recent decades C Antarctica contains most of the world s fresh water D Ten percent of Antarctica s ice has already been lost 20 The best title for the passage is A Our Planet in Danger B Antarctica Is Melting away C Action Plan to Save Antarctica D Let s Save the Ozone Layer B A popular saying goes Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me However that s not really true Words have the power to build us up or tear us down It doesn t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves the positive and negative effects are just as lasting We all talk to ourselves sometimes We re usually too embarrassed to admit it though But we really shouldn t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit This self talk helps us motivate 激发 ourselves remember things solve problems and calm ourselves down Be aware though that as much as 77 of self talk tends to be negative So in order to stay positive we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back The next time you finish a project do well on a test or finally clean your room join me in saying Good job Often words come out of our mouths without us thinking about effects they will have but we should be aware that our words cause certain responses to others For example when returning an item to a store we might use warm friendly language during the exchange And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner Or we can use harsh 苛刻的 critical language which will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive Words possess power because of their lasting effects Many of us regret something we once said And we remember unkind words said to us Before speaking we should always ask ourselves Is it true Is it loving Is it needed If what we want to say doesn t pass this test then it s better left unsaid Words possess power both positive and negative Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively We can offer hope build self esteem 自 尊 and motivate others to do their best Negative words destroy all those things Will we use our words to hurt or to heal The choice is ours 用心 爱心 专心 4 21 The author argues in the first paragraph that A words will never hurt us at all B words have

world in various situations And ideas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another Some societies such as America and Australia are mobile and very open people here change jobs and move house quite often As a result they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time So it s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal On the other hand there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long term relationships are more important A Malaysian or Mexican business person will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business But when you do get to know each other the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society To Americans both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first On the other hand as a passenger from a less mobile society put it it s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don t want to answer Cross cultural differences aren t just a problem for travellers but 用心 爱心 专心 5 also for the flights that carry them All flights want to provide the best service but ideas about good service are different place to place This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with Some societies have universalist cultures These societies strongly respect rules and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way Particularist societies on the other hand also have rules but they are less important than the society s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person This difference can cause problems A traveller from a particularist society India is checking in for a flight in Germany a country which has a universalist culture The Indian traveller has too much luggage but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family He expects that the check in official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him The check in official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage it wouldn t be fair to the other passengers But the traveller thinks this is unfair because the other passengers don t have his problem Title 用心 爱心 专心 6 Cross cultural 26 Problems for 27 In mobile and veryopen societies 28 People
