33、th a package of sugar (and possibly a cup of water and a chocolate, depending on where you are). Many cafes only offer paper cups for special occasions when more people than chairs are expected.Europeans generally dont have coffee “to go” since they consider coffee drinking to be more of a social ac
34、tivity. If you go to a caf in Europe, you will find that people drink their coffee with ease.

40、. S. and EuropeB. the restaurant culture between the U. S. and EuropeC. the coffee culture between the U. S. and EuropeD. the social activities between the U. S. and EuropeCClimate change can happen naturally or in response to human activities, including the burning of fossil fuels and clearing of f
41、orests. Burning fossil fuels creates gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. In fact, about 90 percent of the heat is absorbed by the ocean. So its really important to track the oceans warming, says Jrn Callies. Hes an oceanographer at the California Institute of Technology. Tracking how that heat a
42、ffects the ocean is difficult because of its depth and size, though. This makes it hard for scientists to understand long-term changes in temperature. In September 2020, Callies and other scientists reported a new way to check the temperature of the ocean. As temperature affects how fast sound trave
43、ls (sound travels faster in warmer water than colder water). Scientists originally proposed using sounds produced by machines to measure ocean warming, but it would affect marine animals. Whales, for example, use sound to communicate. Finally, Callies and his team showed they could use the natural s
44、ounds produced by earthquake instead. For their study, the scientists looked at data for 2,000 pairs of earthquakes. Each earthquakes pair happened in the same place but at different times. What did the scientists find? The sound waves traveled a few tenths of a second faster in more recent quakes t
45、han in older ones. This difference suggests a warming trend of 0.04 degrees Celsius (about 0.08 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade. A tiny amount of a degree may not sound like a lot. But it represents a huge of heat that the ocean absorbed. It takes a lot of heat to change the temperature of a body of
46、water almost 3,200 kilometers (2,000 miles) wide and several kilometers deep.However, Callies says its not the time to worry about that yet. They dont know if the warming is only specific to the one region (East Indian Ocean) or if its happening elsewhere. “We just dont have the data yet.” he says.6
47、1. The heat caused by burning fossil fuels is mainly _.A. cleared by the forestB. disappearing naturallyC. taken in by oceanD. trapped by human activities62. It is difficult to track the heat in the ocean because _.A. scientists cant understand the changes in temperatureB. measuring the temperatures
48、 cost too muchC. the changes in temperature is too smallD. oceans are so deep and big to measure63. Scientists choose sounds produced by earthquakes to track the oceans warming because _.A. natural sounds is less harmful to marine animalsB. sounds produced by machines are not correctC. marine animal
49、s absorb sounds produced by machinesD. sounds produced by earthquakes travels faster than those by machines64. Which conclusion can be drawn from the third paragraph?A. The change of sound sped affects temperature.B. The change in the oceans heat can be ignored.C. The experiment was not a success.D.
50、 The change in the oceans heats is actually very big.65. What does Callies mean in the last paragraph?A. Study should be continued and more data need to be collected.B. There is no need to worry about the climate change.C. He lost confidence in the study.D. The scientists cant analyze the data corre
