2、agraph 1 （As the temperature rises）, （so does the sea level-with profound consequences for us all）. As伴随状语 ； so does 倒装句。语法：倒装了the sea level-with profound consequence for us all rises. so do.句型一般可用来表示与前面意思相同的倒装省略，表示“与.一样也.” 翻译：随着温度的升高，海平面也升高，这对我们所有人都产生了深远的影响。 新单词： profound prfaund adj. 深刻的；意义深远的；渊博的

33、 heat only the surface layer of the sea? (warm water is less dense than cold, so it would not spread downwards) 举个例子，需要考虑热量如何传递到海洋的。是直接从温度高的空气垂直散开到海水中吗？还有，热量只是停留在海水的表层吗？（温度高的水密度比温度低的水低，停留在表层，不会向下传递）。 Conventional models of sea-level rise have considered that this is the only method, but measurements

34、 have shown that the rate of heat transfer into the ocean by vertical diffusion is far lower in practice than the figures that many modelers have adopted. 常规模式认为这是海平上升的唯一方法，但是测量的结果表明，热量通过垂直传递的方式传入大海的传导率远比实际的低。很多设置模型的科学家都接受了这个事实。Paragraph tenGlobal Warming Vs Rising Sea LevelsMuch of the early work,
