It sounds simple, but scientists have debated for decades whether both the Antarctic and Greenland ice shee
28、ts actually were shrinking, and how much that melting contributed to rising sea levels. Now, a new study has provided the best evidence of how the polar ice sheets are responding to our warming world. In the study, An international team of scientists looked at 20 years of data in the ice sheets coll
29、ected by 10 satellite missions. The teams conclusion: The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets both are losing ice overall. The researchers also found that between 1992 and 2011, meltwater from those shrinking ice sheets caused sea levels to rise by about 11 millimeters. Over the 19 years studied, the
30、 Greenland ice sheet lost 2.7 trillion metric tons of ice. The Antarctic ice sheet also shrank by about l.3 trillion metric tons. Previously, some scientists disagreed whether the Antarctic sheet, the largest mass of ice in the world, was shrinking or growing or neither. While the Earth is warming o
31、verall, the effect of climate change varies from region to region.

Many studies found that the sheets lost a lot of ice and that not enough snow fell on the sheets to c
32、ompensate for the loss. But other studies found that the loss of ice was balanced by the gain in snowfall. Richard Alley, a glacier scientist at Penn State University, said that many of those studies looked at different areas, and over different time periods. In addition, the studies didnt all use t
33、he satellite data in the same way. Those differences made it difficult to compare the results. The data in the new study matched time periods and areas. The study also combined measurements from kinds of satellites.12. Why does the author use a common-sense phenomenon as the beginning? A. To present
