    The marine environment is fascinating to study and work in due to its beauty, richness, and complexity. It covers three quarters of the surface of the Earth, yet we know more detail about the surface of Mars.
    In the past, it was seen as both an inexhaustible resource and a bottomless sink for our wastes. Yet the increasing pressures of overpopulation, pollution and the threat to our natural environment mean that there is an increasing need for scientists who can understand how it all works, how it affects us, and how we are affecting it from global warming through to the smallest plankton.
    From local issues to global concerns, we now know that the marine environment is inextricably linked to our lives, and to our future survival. It is an area where much remains to be discovered, and where only a multidisciplinary approach can cover the breadth of issues to be confronted. This is the approach taken on our Marine Environmental Science degree course.
    This course takes a multi-disciplinary approach to explore and understand the marine environment. After an initial grounding in basic science, optional choices are available in specialist topics such as marine ecosystems and pollution, coastal navigation and oceanography, among others.
    Our new harbor side marine laboratory is used for some of the specialist lectures, laboratory and project work, while a week's residential field course in the Isle of Man provides training to prepare for the research project conducted in your final year. There is an optional trip to Belize in the final year to study tropical marine environments.
    小题1: From the passage, we can infer that ______.
    A．people waste a lot of resource
    B．marine environment covers 3/4 of the surface of Mars
    C．marine environment is beautiful for its sufficient resources
    D．the Earth is similar to Mars
    小题2:The present environment of the Earth forces the experts and scholars to study ______.
    A．the relationship between people’s actions and natural environment
    B．the relationship between people’s actions and pollution
    C．the relationship between people’s actions and overpopulation
    D．the relationship between people’s actions and plankton
    小题3: According to the passage, a multi-disciplinary approach is effective because _______.
    A．we can choose some issues as optionally as we can
    B．we have practiced the approach for a long time
    C．the approach is linked to our future survival
    D．the approach covers a lot of problems we will meet
    小题4:We can divide the lectures of the course into ______ parts.
    A．1B．2 C．3D．4
    小题5:If a student choose marine Environmental Science degree course, he must ______.
    A. make lectures about the issues to be confronted
    B. provide training to get ready to do research project
    C. take several days residential field in the Isle
    travel to Belize to study tropical marine environments

You may even have entered the shop just to find a shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon become interested in some books or others, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and have to rush off to keep some forgotten appointment.

Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from his usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was tucked away in a corner. "I put it there in case anyone tries to buy it !"He said, and left the delighted student continuing his reading.

    The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported on Wednesday. Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is submerging small island nations and threatening to great damage in low-lying, densely-populated delta regions around the globe.
    The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences of rising oceans. It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change（IPCC）, according to the authors.
    Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal（热）expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice. Both processes are caused by global warming. The ice sheet that sits at the top of Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven metres（23 feet）, which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai.
    Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say. But up to now, there has been a confusing gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans.
    The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reconcile（与…一致）the models with observed data. Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 metres（2,300 feet）from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimetre-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC.
    64. What happens when the ocean's temperature rises?
    A. It causes sea levels to rise.
    B. It causes sea levels to remain constant.
    C. It causes sea levels to decrease.
    D. It causes sea level to change.
    65. Which of the followings would be buried by the rising sea?
    A. Small island nations.
    B. All coastal cities around the world.
    C. People who enjoy holiday on the beach.
    D. Low-lying regions.
    66. The new study in this passage _____________.
    A. shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.32 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels.
    B. did not reveal anything that scientists hadn't already known.
    C. used new techniques to assess ocean temperatures.
    D. shows that models contradict the observed data.
    67. What was the main finding of the study?
    A. Nothing enough is being done about global warming.
    B. That ocean waters have warmed faster than scientists had previously thought.
    C. That the warming of the world's oceans is not a threat.
    D. A massive report issued last year by IPCC was wrong.

    We may all have had the embarrassing moment: Getting half-way through a story only to realize that we’ve told this exact tale before, to the same person. Why do we make such memory mistakes?
    According to research published in Psychological Science, it may have to do with the way our brains process different types of memory.
    Researchers Nigel Gopie, of the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, and Colin Macleod, of the University of Waterloo, divided memory into two kinds. The first was source memory, or the ability to keep track of where information is coming from. The second was destination memory, or the ability to recall who we have given information to.
    They found that source memory functions better than destination memory, in part because of the direction in which that information is travelling.
    To study the differences between source and destination memory, the researchers did an experiment on 60 university students, according to a New York Times report. The students were asked to associate (联想) 50 random ( 随意的) facts with the faces of 50 famous people. Half of the students "told" each fact to one of the faces, reading it aloud when the celebrity's (名人的) picture appeared on a computer screen. The other half read each fact silently and saw a different celebrity picture afterward.
    When later asked to recall which facts went with which faces, the students who were giving information out (destination memory) scored about 16 percent lower on memory performance compared with the students receiving information (source memory).
    The researchers concluded that out-going information was less associated with its environmental context （背景）---- that is, the person ---- than was incoming information.
    This makes sense given what is known about attention. A person who is giving information, even little facts, will devote some mental resources to thinking about what is being said. Because our attention is limited, we give less attention to the person we are giving information to.
    After a second experiment with another group of 40 students, the researchers concluded that self-focus is another factor that undermines destination memory.
    They asked half the students to continue giving out random information, while the other told things about themselves. This time around, those who were talking about themselves did 15 percent worse than those giving random information.
    "When you start telling these personal facts compared with non-self facts, suddenly destination memory goes down more, suggesting that it is the self-focus component ( 成分) that's reducing the memory, Gopie told Live Science.
    72. The point of this article is to ____.
    A. give advice on how to improve memory
    B. say what causes the memory to worsen
    C. explain why we repeat stories to those we've already told them to
    D. discuss the differences between source and destination memory
    73. What can we learn from the article?
    A. Source memory helps us remember who we have told the information to.
    B. One's limited attention is one of the reasons why those reading aloud to the celebrity's pictures perform worse on the memory test.
    C. Silent reading is a better way to remember information than reading aloud.
    D. It tends to be more difficult for people to link incoming information with its environmental context than outgoing information.
    74. The underlined word "undermines" probably means ____.
    A. weakens         B. benefits        C. explains        D. supports
    75. What did the scientists conclude from the second experiment?
    A. Destination memory is weaker than source memory.
    B. Focusing attention on oneself leads to relatively poor source memory performance.
    C. Associating personal experience with information helps people memorize better.
    D. Self-focus is responsible for giving information twice or more to the same person.

    Educators and explorers Will Steger, John Stetson, Elizabeth Andre and Abby Fenton joined four Inuit hunters on a 1,200-mile, four-month-long dog-seld expedition (考察队) across the Canadian Arctic’s Baffin Island.
    The expedition is travelling with four Inuit dog teams over traditional hunting paths, up frozen rivers, through steep-sided bays, over glaciers and ice caps, and across the sea ice to reach some of the most remote Inuit village of the world.
    The travelers wake up early around 6 a. m . During the course of the day they are able to travel about 17 miles. They hope to be able to travel 25 miles or 30 miles per day. They manage their body temperature by adding or taking off layers depending on their level activity.
    Team member Elizabeth Andre had to leave the expedition because of frostbite(冻伤) . She was disappointed to miss part of the expedition, but leaving the field was the right decision to protect her fingers from any more damage. She will rejoin the expedition in Pangnirtung, the next village. Elizabeth feels how tough the weather condition can be in the Arctic. She is beginning to appreciate how much skill and knowledge of the environment the Inuit people have.
    The expedition team plan to eat a combination of country foods from Iglulik, fresh meat hunted on the trail, and dried food packed out from Steger’s homeland in Minnesota.
    The expedition members have already begun to notice the effects of global warming. Theo, a native Inuit traveling with the team, points out that “Looking at what we saw today －we saw that there haven’t been caribou(驯鹿) tracks for a long time. Usually, you look out of your window in Iqaluit and you see them. Now numbers are down”. Theo was born in an igloo(冰屋)and has lived in Inuit for most of his life.
    49. The main purpose of the expedition is to_______.
    A. experience the hard life of Inuit
    B. appreciate the beautiful environment of Inuit village
    C. do some research about the Inuit’s life style
    D. explore the effects of global warming

    A. Four       B. Six       C. Seven      D. Eight
    51. The author gives an example of the caribou to show that_______.
    A. global warming has had bad effects on the environment there
    B. caribous are dying out because of the cold weather
    C. the Inuit hunters have killed too many wild animals
    D. good measures haven’t been taken to protect wild animals
    52. From the text we can learn that_______.
    A. the expedition team will walk across the Arctic
    B. the expedition members only eat their packed food
    C. the final stop for the expedition team is Pangnirtung
    D. traveling to Inuit villages needs skill and knowledge of the environment.
