By 2005, only 27 remained, and those are expected to dis
73、appear completely by 2030, if not earlier.

Many of its glaciers are steadfastly retreating due to rising temperatures and declining rainfall. While this land doesnt stand to disappear
77、entirely, its landscape may soon be altered beyond recognition if global warming persists.E. BangladeshSet in the low-lying GangesBrahmaputra River Delta, Bangladesh sits in a perfect storm of climactic conditions. About 50 percent of the area would be flooded if the sea level were to rise by 1 mete
78、r. Bangladesh also lies at the heart of the monsoon belt. Natural calamities, such as floods, tropical cyclones, tornadoes and tidal bores(怒潮)occur here almost every year with tragic results.F. South AustraliaMuch like the Sahara in Africa, desertification also threatens South Australia. Across the
79、region, fresh water supplies are rapidly drying up. Meanwhile, the parched（焦干的 ）landscape increases the occurrence of wildfires, threatening agriculture, wildlife and hundreds of Australian homes.第卷（非选择题 共40分）第三部分：写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节：短文改错（满分10分） 下面短文中有10处语言错误。请在有错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个单词。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），并在下面加
