At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms (海洋微生物) called phytoplankton. Beca
16、use of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it
17、 in other spots, leading to changes in the oceans appearance. Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate.
18、But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the oceans warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients. Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MITs Center for Global Change Sci
19、ence, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 39， it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. But in some
20、waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing，” she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing. ”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the
21、 base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “It will change the type of fish that will be able to survive. ” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain. Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gr
22、adual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes. “Itll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change，” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have chang

26、候变暖，世界海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿。这一现象的原因是因为一种叫作浮游植物的微小海洋微生物，因为光线反射的作用，它们在海洋表面形成了五颜六色的图案，现在浮游植物受到海洋变暖趋势的影响，让浮游植物的生长更加旺盛，所以海洋相应会变得更蓝、更绿。1C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“ Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. ”可知海洋的颜色从绿色到蓝色不等，取决于浮游植物的种类和浓度。故选 C项。2C词义猜测题。根据下文 “The model proje
27、cts that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer. ”可知，杜基维奇的模型预测，目前只有少量浮游植物的蓝色区域可能会变得更蓝。因此推断划线句句意：麻省理工学院全球变化科学中心的科学家斯蒂芬妮杜基维奇建立了一个气候模型，预测整个世纪海洋的变化。故划线词词义与predict意思相近。故选C项。3A细节理解题。根据第三段的 “But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the oceans warming trend. ”可知，浮游植物很容易受到海洋变暖趋势的影响
28、，也就是很敏感。故选A项。4B推理判断题。第一段提出文章的主旨 “By the end of the century, if not sooner, the worlds oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study. ”可知，一项新的研究表明，到本世纪末，由于气候变暖，如果不尽快的话，世界上的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿，接下来详细讲述了原因。因此推断写作目的是解释气候变化对海洋的影响。故选B项。. 书面表达假定你是李华， 上周日你校举办了5公里越野赛跑活动。请你为学校英
