23、ns will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms (海洋微生物) called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocea

Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the oceans appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull car

But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the oceans warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and
26、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 Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by
27、3， 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 waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these areas will tur

Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type o

31、terns at the ocean surface.BThe cause of the changes in ocean colour.CThe way light reflects off marine organisms.DThe efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.答案：B段落大意题。文章第一段点题：由于气候变暖，全球的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿。第二段介绍由于光从生物体反射的方式，这些浮游植物在海洋表面形成了五颜六色的图案；气候变化又使得这些浮游植物在某些区域加速生长而在其他地方有所减少，导致海洋表面的颜色变化。由此可知前两段讲了海洋颜
32、色变化的原因，故B项正确。5What does the underlined word“vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?ASensitive. BBeneficial.CSignificant. DUnnoticeable.答案：A词义猜测题。画线词后一句提到，气候变暖改变了海洋的主要特点并能影响浮游植物的生长，因为它们要生长不仅仅需要阳光和二氧化碳，也需要营养。由此可知，这些浮游植物对海洋变暖很敏感，故A项正确。6What can we learn from the passage?APhytoplankton play a declinin
33、g role in the marine ecosystem.BDutkiewiczs model aims to project phytoplankton changes.CPhytoplankton have been used to control global climate.DOceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.答案：D推理判断题。文章倒数第二段提到这些浮游植物是海洋食物链的基础，如果某些种类的浮游植物消失了，会影响能存活的鱼的类型，从而影响海洋食物链，并结合文章第四段倒数第二句可知浮游植物多的区域海水会变得更绿，故D
34、项正确。7What is the main purpose of the passage?ATo assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.BTo analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.CTo explain the effects of climate change on oceans.DTo introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.答案：C主旨大意题。文章主要论述了随着气候变暖，全球的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿，即气候变化对海洋有影

However, by taking advantage of GSM which has many different elements, we could all enjoy the ability to go around the world in 217 countries, land in any
37、of it and know a phone will work.答案：1第一句：删除a考查冠词。communication是不可数名词，所以删除a。2第二句：werewas考查主谓一致。“the global system for mobile communication or GSM”是单数意义，所以were改成was。3第三句：offout考查固定短语。此处表示“设计标准和规则的国际协议”，lay out “设计”，是固定用法，所以off改成out。4第三句：regulationregulations考查名词。and连接并列结构，and之前是可数名词的复数形式，and之后的可数名词也要用
38、复数形式，所以regulation改成regulations。5第四句：butand考查连词。“the worlds first mobiles were not so attractive”与“the range of effectiveness wasnt very well”之间是并列关系，所以but改成and。6第四句：wellgood考查形容词。这里表示“实效范围也不好”，well表示身体健康的，所以well改成good。7第五句：wealthwealthy考查形容词。修饰名词people，用形容词，所以wealth改成wealthy。8第五句：could前加who/that考查定语从句。本句中含有一个定语从句，修饰先行词wealthy people，关系词在从句中作主语，指人，所以could前加who/that。9第六句：couldcan考查动词的时态。本句描述经常且反复发生的动作，用一般现在时，所以could改成can。10第六句：itthem考查代词。指代前面的“217 countries”，是复数意义，所以it改成them。
