Part of the warming is natural; we have experienced a 20,000-year-long warming as
14、the last ice age ended and the ice _44_ away. However, we have already reached temperatures that are in _45_ with other minimum-ice periods, so continued warming is likely not natural. We are _46_ to a predicted worldwide increase in temperatures _47_ between 1 and 6 over the next 100 years. The war

18、 FABHJSection B(2*5=10) The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history, comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and ca
19、n communicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere.

20、arlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,” Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book The New Digital Age.Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examin
21、ing the implications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But if the book has one major shortcoming, its that authors dont spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these sweeping changes.In their book, t
22、he authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes and more importantly predicts how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades.

24、the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, theyre also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come on
