福建师大附中高三英语期中试题

It’s a fairy tale picked straight from Langteau’s own experiences as a kid with a fondness for video games and his own bouts with a bit of game addiction.But first, Langteau would like to make one thing clear: “I’m not saying that you shouldn’t play video games.I think video games are great.I think they do great things for kids.” Instead, Langteau says his book is all about a little something called “moderation(克制).”

“It’s about being well rounded,” he says.“Just like with anything else, we all need to make sure that there’s a variety in what we do.”

Video gamers can be rather bad-tempered when it comes to accepting criticism about their favorite entertainment.And understandably so.After all, most people who go around talking about the dangers of playing video games tend to be outsiders --- people who don’t play video games and certainly don’t understand that they can be a valuable and healthy form of entertainment.

But Langteau and “Soft Boy” seem to be in a unique position to deliver a message of gaming moderation that the young game masses might actually listen to.After all, this is a man who understands what it means to be a kid with a passion for games.His early experience has taught him a lesson.

A.The boy in the book is not an addict on games.

A.Langteau advises the young not to play games

B.playing video games is of no benefit to kids

C.playing video games ruins the future of kids

“The world’s oceans are slowly getting more acidic.” say scientists.The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The lowering of the waters’ pH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn.Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater.Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid.Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.

These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change.“This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere,” said Dr Caldeira.“And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed(超过) anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disastrous events such as asteroid(小行星) impacts.

However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life.Most organisms live near the surface, where the greatest pH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to pH changes.Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate(碳酸钙) may be particularly affected if the water’s acidity levels keep going up, the team predict.They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower pH.

In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power station in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming.But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered.“Previously, most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing --- because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.”

71.The ocean is becoming more acidic due to __________.

A.the higher level of CO2 in the air B.the warming atmosphere

C.the increasing use of oil fuels D. the lower water pH value

72.According to Dr Caldeira, __________.

A.more oil fuels will be used in the near future

B.ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thing

C.the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious

D.scientists may predict climate changes with computer models

73.If the water’s acidity level keeps rising, __________.

A.the waters’ pH value will become higher and higher

B.some disastrous events will occur more often than before

C.organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to pH changes

D.ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affected

74.Most experts once believed storing carbon dioxide in the ocean would reduce __________.

A.the CO2 absorbed by the ocean B.the amount of greenhouse warming

C.the acidity of the ocean D.the gradual release of CO2

75.The purpose of this passage is to __________.

A.show people the findings of a research team

B.introduce Dr Caldeira and his team’s research

C.warn people of the higher level of CO2

D.inform people of how acid the ocean is now
