Section Ⅳ Using Language & Assessing Your Progress
Text 1
When people talk of exploring the sea more, they usually mean exploiting it. Sea exploration has caused many problems and will continue to cause more.
More exploration means more pollution. The Deepwater Horizon spilled over 200 million gallons of oil into the sea in 2010. Plastic pollution is also bad, killing many birds and fish [1], and has even been found in our tap water.
[1]此处是v.ing 短语作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果。
Mining for resources is very damaging, especially in the Arctic. Because of climate change, there is less ice now, which means we can look for more fossil fuels further north. But if we burn these, the ice will melt more and this negative cycle will continue. Climate change is warning us that something is very wrong.
Overfishing is another problem. Whales and dolphins are also hunted for their meat or for socalled research. Although this was banned in 1982, some countries are still “murdering” these intelligent creatures without mercy.
The sea is home to life, not human beings' possessions. It is huge, but it is more sensitive than we think. If we do not protect it, future generations will not forgive us.

To truly understand our planet, we must explore the oceans which cover most of it. Opponents may be concerned, but sea exploration is important for our future. For example, scientific research ships can help address important issues such as climate change. We need to understand what is happening to our planet so that we can take action. [2] Therefore, more research is necessary.
[2]本句是主从复合句,so that 在此引导目的状语从句。
Understanding more about the sea will also help us manage its resources better. Logging new species will improve our understanding of life on the earth. It may help us discover new medicines, as well as new sources of food and energy. Accessing the deep ocean may also help us to predict events such as earthquakes.
The population of the world is growing and we need new resources for future development. There are probably vast amounts of resources under the sea and ice, not just oil and gas but also valuable minerals.
Of course, there are still environmental risks. However, these should be balanced with economic needs. Hopefully, as technology improves [3], we may have more options for managing this balance.
[3]as在此引导时间状语从句。,
文章一
当人们说到加强海洋探索,他们的意思通常是开发海洋。海洋探索已带来诸多问题,(未来)也会引起更多问题。
更多的海洋探索导致污染增多。2010年,“深水地平线”向海洋泄漏了超2亿加仑的石油。塑料污染也是严重的,这导致大量鸟类和鱼类死亡,甚至在我们的自来水中都发现了塑料污染。
资源开采损害巨大,尤其是在北极地区。由于气候变化,现在冰量减少,这意味着人们可以前去更遥远的北方寻找更多的化石燃料。但是,如果我们使用这些燃料,更多的冰将会融化,这种恶性循环会持续下去。气候变化正警告我们,有些事是非常错误的。
过度捕捞是另一个问题。人类或是为了享用美食,或是打着研究的旗号,对鲸和海豚进行猎杀。虽然1982年此行为已被明令禁止,但一些国家仍在无情地“谋杀”这些智慧生物。
海洋是(所有)生物的家园,不是人类的财产。海洋广袤无垠,却又超乎想象地敏感。如我们不能保护海洋,后代将不会原谅我们。
文章二
我们要真正了解地球,就必须探索覆盖地球大部分的海洋。反对者可能感到担忧,但海洋探索对人类未来至关重要。例如,科考船可以帮助解决气候变化等重要问题。我们需要知道地球上正在发生什么,才能采取行动,因此加强海洋研究是必要的。
更多地了解海洋也有助于我们更好地管理海洋资源。记录新物种能够提高人们对地球上生物的认识。这也许能帮助我们发现新药物,找到新的食物和能源来源。潜入深海也有可能帮助我们预测地震等事件。
全球人口正在增长,我们需要新资源来推动未来发展。海洋和冰下可能蕴藏着大量的资源,除了石油和天然气,还有极富价值的矿物质。
当然,还存在环境危机。不过,化解环境危机要与满足经济需求相平衡。希望随着技术进步,人们能够拥有更多选择来调节这一平衡。

本句结构分析如下:
独立主格结构
独立主格结构是带有自己的逻辑主语的非谓语动词分句或无动词分句。由于在语法上有自己的逻辑主语,其在结构上与主句无关系,因此称之为“独立主格结构”。其实,所谓“独立主格结构”并非真正独立,它还是一种从属分句,与主句紧密联系在一起,共同表达一个完整的意思,通常在句中作状语。独立主格结构可放在句首、句尾,用逗号和主句隔开。
独立主格结构可以分为两部分:一部分是名词或代词,起逻辑主语的作用;另一部分是非谓语动词(现在分词、过去分词、不定式)或名词、形容词、副词或介词短语,表示前面名词或代词的动作或状态。基本形式是“名词/代词+现在分词/过去分词/不定式/名词/形容词/副词/介词短语”。
