Scientists have reported that the sea ice in Antarctica (南极)is at a record low level. Antarctica is a great, icy land, surrounded(围绕)by the huge Southern Ocean. The ice in Antarctica doesn't just cover the land. There's also a large area of sea ice on the ocean's surface.
Every year, the sea ice at the South Pole goes through a cycle. In the summer, the huge sea ice melts(融化)to its smallest point. Over the colder winter months, the sea ice grows and grows until it covers a wide area. Usually, the sea ice covers the greatest area around September 23, as winter ends at the South Pole.
Scientists have been measuring the area of the sea ice in Antarctica since 1979. For most of this time, Antarctica has seemed to be almost unaffected by the changing weather conditions experienced in other parts of the globe. That began to change around 2016. Now, for several years, the area of Antarctica's sea ice has been shrinking.
This year, the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre(NSIDC)reported that Antarctica's sea ice covered its greatest area on September 10—almost two weeks earlier than normal. And the sea ice was at a new record low-not just by a little bit, but by a lot.
The last time Antarctica's low sea ice set a record at the end of winter was in 1986. And this year, there's about 398, 000 square miles less sea ice than in 1986.
Scientists are still trying to understand what is driving the change in Antarctica. One likely direct cause for the change is the rising temperatures of the world's oceans. Ted Scambos, a research scientist at the University of Colorado, says Antarctica's ice levels have always changed some, but the sharp loss this year is “pointing towards warmer ocean conditions around the continent. ”
The new low record has concerned the scientists. Scientists are working hard to better understand Antarctica. They don't know yet if this is just a short-term problem, or part of a long-term shift(转变)towards less sea ice in Antarctica.
1. What does the underlined word "shrinking" mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Getting smaller. B. Being flat. C. Observed. D. Measured.
2. Why does the author mention the record in 1986?
A. To give an example. B. To make a comparison.
C. To make a summary. D. To offer an argument.
3. What is the possible direct reason for the change in Antarctica's sea ice?
A. The changing weather conditions.
B. Human activities in Antarctica.
C. Increased volcanic activities in the area.
D. The increasing temperatures of the global oceans.
4. How do scientists feel about the low record?
A. Worried. B. Annoyed. C. Excited. D. Satisfied.
B
A new song by the famous band The Beatles has been released(发行)despite half of the band members no longer being alive, thanks to the help of AI.
The Beatles was a legendary British rock band that remained second to Elvis Presley from the 1960s. It was made up of four musicians—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. The new song, titled Now and Then, is unique because it combined the singing of McCartney and Starr with Lennon, who passed away in 1980, and the guitar skills of Harrison, who passed away in 2001.
The song was initially(起初)written and partly recorded by Lennon in the late 1970s and further developed by band mates years later but as technology then was limited, they didn't release it due to the sound quality not being satisfying.
Peter Jackson, most famous for directing The Lord of the Rings, directed the music video for Norw and Then and it can be watched now online. It was thanks to new Al audio restoration (音频修复)technology that Peter Jackson allowed the four band members to “come together” one last time.
Since its release last week, the song has been well received in the UK. Beatles fans around the world favoured this historic musical event.
"Now and Then is an absolutely heart-warming piece of work, "posted Liam Gallagher, whose hits were affected by The Beatles' musical style.
Of course, there are those who are not totally interested in the song. "Now and Then is not terrible. . But honestly, it's kind of boring, "Geoff Edgers wrote in The Washington Post.
The Times in the UK said the song showed Al being used to its best advantage.
5. Why was the song "Now and Then" not released at first?
A. The song was not completed.
B. The sound quality was not good enough.
C. The band members did not like the song.
D. The song was let out before its official release.
6. How did Peter Jackson contribute to the song?
A. He wrote and recorded the song.
B. He invented new audio restoration technology.
C. He restored the band members' sound using AI.
D. He played the guitar on the recording.
7. What is the attitude of The Times towards the release of Now and Then?
A. Supportive. B. Curious. C. Unfavourable. D. Unclear.
8. What is the best title of the text?
A. The Beatles Remains Second to Elvis Presley
B. Beatles Fans Welcome the New Song of The Beatles
C. Peter Jackson Directed the Music Video for The Beatles
D. The Beatles Released a New Song with the Help of Al
