Blue. Specifically: Classic Blue.For

21、the 21st continuous year, Pantone has named a color of the year, a trend-forecasting stunt（噱头）as it is closely watched by the news media as by the industries marketing, fashion, design that actually traffic in visual trends.Classic Blue is the color of blueberries, a Pepsi can and the sky when its “

22、that beautiful color at the end of the day,” said Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, which researches and advises companies on human responses to color. In choosing Classic Blue, the organization said it first examined what was going on in the world.“Were living

24、t too specific about why people feel “shaky.” Political unrest seemed an obvious source of the shakiness, but, Ms. Pressman said, “We werent looking at this as a political message.” The decision wasnt about impeachment or the election or Brexit. It also wasnt a sly endorsement of the blue Democratic

25、 Party. Rather, Pantone has pinned the worlds anxiety and stress on a more common enemy: technology.“It has sped things up to the point where we cant necessarily handle all thats coming in,” Ms. Eiseman said. Classic Blue “provides a shelter,” according to Pantone, fulfilling a “desire for a dependa

26、ble, stable foundation.” Classic Blue is “nonaggressive,” “easily relatable” and “honest.” “The color of the year is really a marketing effort on the part of Pantone to get media attention,” she said. “What Pantone has brilliantly done is figure out how to exploit celebrity culture.

Pantone Declares a Year of BlueDScientists are reporting that ice cover in the Bering Sea decreased during the winters of 2018 and 2019 to levels not seen in thousands

31、of years. The new report adds to concerns about the effect of climate change in the Arctic.The scientists said satellite images and records provide a clear picture of how the sea ice has changed over the past 40 years. Before that, the only ice records available were from those found in ship records

32、 and other observations. So, scientists turned to peat land on Saint Matthew Island, off the coast of Alaska. Peat is plant tissue thatbreaks downin wet conditions. It can hold organic substances from plants that lived thousands of years ago.The researchers studied different forms of oxygen molecule

33、s trapped in the peat land.

36、ommunities that depend on hunting for food and clothing. Shrinking sea ice intensifies warming in the Arctic. That is because areas of dark watertake the place ofthe sea ice. The dark water absorbs solar radiation instead of reflecting it back into the atmosphere.The study suggests that changes in t

37、he flow of ocean waters and atmospheric conditions linked to climate change have had a big effect. So says Miriam Jones, the lead writer of the study. She is a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey. “Theres a lot more going on than simply warming temperatures,” Jones said. “Were seeing a shift i

38、n circulation patterns both in the ocean and the atmosphere,” she added.12. According to the passage, why did scientists turn to “peat land” for their study?Because peat is plant tissue that breaks down in wet conditions.Because the peat land can affect the rainfall and the sea ice cover.Because it

39、can help research on atmospheric and ocean conditions.Because the living plants on the peat land hold organic substances.13.
