Phan Thi Kim Chi’s connection with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began at an early age. Growing up in a small village in Vietnam, it was inconvenient for Phan to travel to hospitals in neighboring cities. Whenever she caught a cold or experienced a headache as a child, her family would seek the help of a local TCM practitioner. This led her to major in TCM at a traditional medical school in China. According to Phan, even though TCM has long been commonly practiced and accepted in Vietnam, finding a good school to learn TCM in Vietnam is not easy.
As a foreign student, Phan finds the TCM basic theory course to be the most challenging one in the courses. Being widespread and far-reaching, TCM is deeply connected with Chinese philosophy. It requires years of learning and practice to truly understand the concepts of yin and yang, harmony between human and nature, and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Sometimes she even translates the TCM vocabulary and scripts into Vietnamese so she can remember and understand them better.
Overseas students of TCM, like Phan, are not rare. According to a report, the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8,187 last year, with the largest population of 6,441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and 432 from Europe. Also, many Chinese medical universities had projects that sent professors overseas to teach TCM.
The fast-developing situation of TCM is not limited to schools and clinics. It has also become a lifestyle choice for many young people.
36. Which of the following best explains “practitioner” underlined in Paragraph 1?
A. visitor B. officer C. student D. doctor
37. How did Phan Thi Kim Chi find the TCM basic theory course?
A. Confusing. B. Inspiring. C. Tough. D. Common.
38. Why are there many numbers mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To attract more students.
B. To prove the popularity of TCM.
C. To show the difficulties of promoting TCM.
D. To explain causes of students choosing TCM.
39. What does the last paragraph imply about the current development of TCM?
A. It faces rejection from younger generations.
B. It values commercial success over cultural value.
C. It is mainly promoted through academic research.
D. It has expanded beyond medical fields into daily life.
40. What is the best title for the text?
A. Global Rise of TCM B. The Development of TCM
C. The Hidden Power of TCM D. Promising Future of TCM
C
All animals take in oxygen from the air they breathe in, and release CO₂ from their blood when breathing out. Most mammals (哺乳动物) can’t directly detect oxygen levels in the blood supplied to their tissues. Instead, they rely on the rising level of CO₂ in their blood to signal that they might need to take a breath. But a recent study published in Science suggests seals (海豹) can sense the amount of oxygen in the blood, and change their diving behavior in response.
To find out if oxygen levels affected seal behavior, Professor McKnight at the University of St. Andrews and his colleagues created a special section in a pool where young seals were held. In one corner, there was a breathing chamber (呼吸室), where they were sheltered from the rain and the wind.
The breathing chamber was surrounded by panels that prevented surface swimming, yet swimming below the surface for about 200 feet would give the seals access to a feeder where they could eat as much fish as they liked. Once the seals got familiar with the setup, the researchers started to gradually change the composition of the air in the breathing chamber, increasing or reducing the levels of oxygen and CO₂ to see an effect on their behavior. Sure enough: the higher the level of oxygen, the longer the seals stayed at the feeder.
The finding suggests that seals don’t just physically respond to oxygen levels by changing their heart rate or breathing, but that they are sufficiently aware of them to change their behavior. This ability would put seals in a class beyond any land mammals that have been tested. Since oxygen levels on land remain stable, humans don’t seem to have evolved (演化) to notice low blood oxygen levels, sometimes not even when they’re about to pass out in free-diving.
Therefore, in free-diving without oxygen tanks, accidents are quite common. Our reliance on sensing CO₂ levels in our blood instead of oxygen may be to blame. Actually, this is a perfectly reasonable strategy on land, where growing CO₂ tends to signal breathing issues. But when holding our breath during diving, relying on CO₂ levels is risky, especially on repeated dives. Because every time we surface and breathe in, our sensitivity to CO₂ is decreased, even if its levels are already high, and this increases the chance that a person will, without awareness, pass out before they get to the surface.
41. What do most mammals rely on to determine when to take a breath?
A. The growing amount of CO₂ in their blood.
B. The rising level of oxygen in their lungs.
C. The intensity of their physical activity.
D. The blood supply to body tissues.
42. When would the seals stay at the feeder for a longer period of time?
A. When they needed to take in more food at the feeder.
B. When the oxygen level in the chamber grew higher.
C. When they familiarized themselves with the setup.
D. When the CO₂ level in the chamber was raised.
43. What results in humans’ inability to notice low oxygen levels in their blood?
A. The unstable CO₂ levels in the air.
B. Their lack of attention to breathing.
C. The constant oxygen levels on land.
D. Their functionally changeable heart rate.
44. Why do accidents often occur when divers go free-diving?
A. Their breath cannot be held long enough.
B. They cannot adjust the consumption of oxygen.
C. They may fail to notice rising CO₂ levels soon enough.
D. Their breathing organs stop working properly underwater.
45. Which statement is probably supported by McKnight’s seal research?
A. Seals have evolved to survive in low oxygen environments.
B. Seals are quick to sense oxygen levels and act accordingly.
C. Seals can maintain their heart rate even with low blood oxygen levels.
D. Seals are more sensitive to changes in the environment than other mammals.
D
The rich land of the Nile delta is being eroded (侵蚀) along Egypt’s Mediterranean coast at an astonishing rate, in some parts expected at 100 metres per year. In the past, land washed away from the coastline by the currents of the Mediterranean Sea used to be replaced by sediment (沉淀物) brought down to the delta by the River Nile, but this is no longer happening.
Up to now, people have blamed this loss of delta land on the two large Aswan dams in the south of Egypt, which hold back almost all of the sediment that used to flow down the river. Before the dams were built, the Nile flowed freely carrying huge quantities of sediment. But when the Aswan dams were constructed to provide electricity and irrigation (灌溉) , and to protect the huge population centre of Cairo from annual flooding and drought, most of the sediment with its natural fertilizer built up above the dam in the southern upstream half of Lake Nasser, instead of passing down to the delta.
Now, however, there turns out to be more to the story. It appears that the sediment-free water picks up sand as it erodes the river bed and banks on the 800-kilometre trip to Cairo. Daniel JeanStanley of the Smithsonian Institute noticed that water samples taken in Cairo showed that the river sometimes carries more than 850 grams of sediment per cubic metre of water-almost half of what it carried before the dams were built.
International environmental organizations are beginning to pay closer attention to the region, partly because of the problems of erosion and pollution of the Nile delta, but mainly because they fear the impact this situation could have on the whole Mediterranean coastal ecosystem.
But there are no easy solutions. In the immediate future, Stanley believes that one solution would be to make man-made floods to flush out the delta waterways in the same way that natural floods did before the construction of the dams. He says, however, that in the long term an alternative process such as desalination (脱盐) may have to be used to increase the amount of water available.
46. What stopped the sediment coming down to the delta?
A. The Mediterranean Sea. B. The River Nile.
C. The Aswan dams. D. Lake Nasser.
47. Why were the Aswan dams built?
A. To wash out the river beds. B. To offer electricity and protection.
C. To make the water in the River Nile clean. D. To keep the soil in the region nearby nutrient-rich.
48. What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A. There is no need to worry about the delta.
B. The methods of measurement need improving.
C. Whether the situation is good or not remains to be seen.
D. The dams’ consequences are beyond people's expectation.
49. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Difficulties to be settled. B. Rewards for the challenge.
C. Severe influence of the situation. D. Possible solutions to the problem.
50. What is the author’s attitude towards the problems of the Nile delta?
A. Positive. B. Unclear. C. Concerned. D. Negative.

Phan Thi Kim Chi’s connection with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) began at an early age. Growing up in a small village in Vietnam, it was inconvenient for Phan to travel to hospitals in neighboring cities. Whenever she caught a cold or experienced a headache as a child, her family would seek the help of a local TCM practitioner. This led her to major in TCM at a traditional medical school in China. According to Phan, even though TCM has long been commonly practiced and accepted in Vietnam, finding a good school to learn TCM in Vietnam is not easy.
As a foreign student, Phan finds the TCM basic theory course to be the most challenging one in the courses. Being widespread and far-reaching, TCM is deeply connected with Chinese philosophy. It requires years of learning and practice to truly understand the concepts of yin and yang, harmony between human and nature, and the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Sometimes she even translates the TCM vocabulary and scripts into Vietnamese so she can remember and understand them better.
Overseas students of TCM, like Phan, are not rare. According to a report, the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8,187 last year, with the largest population of 6,441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and 432 from Europe. Also, many Chinese medical universities had projects that sent professors overseas to teach TCM.
The fast-developing situation of TCM is not limited to schools and clinics. It has also become a lifestyle choice for many young people.
36. Which of the following best explains “practitioner” underlined in Paragraph 1?
A. visitor B. officer C. student D. doctor
37. How did Phan Thi Kim Chi find the TCM basic theory course?
A. Confusing. B. Inspiring. C. Tough. D. Common.
38. Why are there many numbers mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To attract more students.
B. To prove the popularity of TCM.
C. To show the difficulties of promoting TCM.
D. To explain causes of students choosing TCM.
39. What does the last paragraph imply about the current development of TCM?
A. It faces rejection from younger generations.
B. It values commercial success over cultural value.
C. It is mainly promoted through academic research.
D. It has expanded beyond medical fields into daily life.
40. What is the best title for the text?
A. Global Rise of TCM B. The Development of TCM
C. The Hidden Power of TCM D. Promising Future of TCM
【答案】36. D 37. C 38. B 39. D 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中医在国际上的发展情况,通过越南学生Phan学习中医的经历,展示了中医在海外的受欢迎程度,以及其从医疗领域向生活方式的拓展。
【36题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Whenever she caught a cold or experienced a headache as a child, her family would seek the help of a local TCM practitioner. (小时候,每当她感冒或头痛时,她的家人都会向当地的中医practitioner求助。)”可知,当Phan生病时,她的家人会寻求当地中医从业者的帮助,由此可推知,practitioner在这里指的是“医生”。故选D项。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“As a foreign student, Phan finds the TCM basic theory course to be the most challenging one in the courses. (作为一名外国学生,Phan发现中医基础理论课程是所有课程中最具挑战性的。)”可知,Phan认为中医基础理论课程是最具挑战性的,即“困难的”。故选C项。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“According to a report, the total number of international students studying TCM in China was 8,187 last year, with the largest population of 6,441 coming from Asian countries, followed by 832 from Africa and 432 from Europe. (根据一份报告,去年在中国学习中医的国际学生总数为8,187人,其中来自亚洲国家的学生人数最多,为6,441人,其次是来自非洲的832人和来自欧洲的432人。)”以及“Also, many Chinese medical universities had projects that sent professors overseas to teach TCM. (此外,许多中国医科大学还有派遣教授到海外教授中医的项目。)”可知,提到这些数据旨在证明中医在国际上的受欢迎程度。故选B项。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The fast-developing situation of TCM is not limited to schools and clinics. It has also become a lifestyle choice for many young people. (中医的快速发展不仅限于学校和诊所。它也成为许多年轻人的生活方式选择。)”可知,中医的发展已经超越了医疗领域,进入了人们的日常生活。故选D项。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章通过Phan的经历引出中医在海外的学习情况,用数据说明其国际影响力,并提到其向生活领域的拓展,核心是中医在全球的兴起,因此A项“Global Rise of TCM (中医在全球的兴起)”最符合文章主旨,适宜作为标题使用。故选A项。
C
All animals take in oxygen from the air they breathe in, and release CO₂ from their blood when breathing out. Most mammals (哺乳动物) can’t directly detect oxygen levels in the blood supplied to their tissues. Instead, they rely on the rising level of CO₂ in their blood to signal that they might need to take a breath. But a recent study published in Science suggests seals (海豹) can sense the amount of oxygen in the blood, and change their diving behavior in response.
To find out if oxygen levels affected seal behavior, Professor McKnight at the University of St. Andrews and his colleagues created a special section in a pool where young seals were held. In one corner, there was a breathing chamber (呼吸室), where they were sheltered from the rain and the wind.
The breathing chamber was surrounded by panels that prevented surface swimming, yet swimming below the surface for about 200 feet would give the seals access to a feeder where they could eat as much fish as they liked. Once the seals got familiar with the setup, the researchers started to gradually change the composition of the air in the breathing chamber, increasing or reducing the levels of oxygen and CO₂ to see an effect on their behavior. Sure enough: the higher the level of oxygen, the longer the seals stayed at the feeder.
The finding suggests that seals don’t just physically respond to oxygen levels by changing their heart rate or breathing, but that they are sufficiently aware of them to change their behavior. This ability would put seals in a class beyond any land mammals that have been tested. Since oxygen levels on land remain stable, humans don’t seem to have evolved (演化) to notice low blood oxygen levels, sometimes not even when they’re about to pass out in free-diving.
Therefore, in free-diving without oxygen tanks, accidents are quite common. Our reliance on sensing CO₂ levels in our blood instead of oxygen may be to blame. Actually, this is a perfectly reasonable strategy on land, where growing CO₂ tends to signal breathing issues. But when holding our breath during diving, relying on CO₂ levels is risky, especially on repeated dives. Because every time we surface and breathe in, our sensitivity to CO₂ is decreased, even if its levels are already high, and this increases the chance that a person will, without awareness, pass out before they get to the surface.
41. What do most mammals rely on to determine when to take a breath?
A. The growing amount of CO₂ in their blood.
B. The rising level of oxygen in their lungs.
C. The intensity of their physical activity.
D. The blood supply to body tissues.
42. When would the seals stay at the feeder for a longer period of time?
A. When they needed to take in more food at the feeder.
B. When the oxygen level in the chamber grew higher.
C. When they familiarized themselves with the setup.
D. When the CO₂ level in the chamber was raised.
43. What results in humans’ inability to notice low oxygen levels in their blood?
A. The unstable CO₂ levels in the air.
B. Their lack of attention to breathing.
C. The constant oxygen levels on land.
D. Their functionally changeable heart rate.
44. Why do accidents often occur when divers go free-diving?
A. Their breath cannot be held long enough.
B. They cannot adjust the consumption of oxygen.
C. They may fail to notice rising CO₂ levels soon enough.
D. Their breathing organs stop working properly underwater.
45. Which statement is probably supported by McKnight’s seal research?
A. Seals have evolved to survive in low oxygen environments.
B. Seals are quick to sense oxygen levels and act accordingly.
C. Seals can maintain their heart rate even with low blood oxygen levels.
D. Seals are more sensitive to changes in the environment than other mammals.
【答案】41. A 42. B 43. C 44. C 45. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了海豹能感知血液中氧气量并据此改变潜水行为,人类则因陆地氧气稳定未演化出此能力。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Most mammals (哺乳动物) can’t directly detect oxygen levels in the blood supplied to their tissues. Instead, they rely on the rising level of CO₂ in their blood to signal that they might need to take a breath.(大多数哺乳动物不能直接检测供应给组织的血液中的氧气水平。相反,它们依靠血液中二氧化碳水平的上升来发出可能需要呼吸的信号)”可知,大多数哺乳动物依靠血液中二氧化碳含量的上升来判断何时呼吸。故选A。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Once the seals got familiar with the setup, the researchers started to gradually change the composition of the air in the breathing chamber, increasing or reducing the levels of oxygen and CO₂ to see an effect on their behavior. Sure enough: the higher the level of oxygen, the longer the seals stayed at the feeder.(一旦海豹熟悉了这种设置,研究人员开始逐渐改变呼吸室中空气的成分,增加或减少氧气和二氧化碳的水平,以观察对其行为的影响。果然如此:氧气水平越高,海豹在喂食器停留的时间就越长)”可知,当呼吸室中的氧气水平升高时,海豹会在喂食器停留更长时间。故选B。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Since oxygen levels on land remain stable, humans don’t seem to have evolved (演化) to notice low blood oxygen levels, sometimes not even when they’ re about to pass out in free-diving.(由于陆地上的氧气水平保持稳定,人类似乎没有进化出注意到血液中低氧水平的能力,有时甚至在自由潜水即将昏倒时也没有)”可知,人类无法察觉血液中低氧水平是因为陆地上氧气水平稳定。故选C。

细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Because every time we surface and breathe in, our sensitivity to CO₂ is decreased, even if its levels are already high, and this increases the chance that a person will, without awareness, pass out before they get to the surface.(因为每次我们浮出水面吸气时,我们对二氧化碳的敏感性都会降低,即使其水平已经很高,这也会增加一个人在浮出水面之前无意识地昏倒的可能性)”可知,潜水员在自由潜水时经常发生事故是因为他们可能没有及时注意到二氧化碳水平的上升。故选C。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But a recent study published in Science suggests seals (海豹) can sense the amount of oxygen in the blood,and change their diving behavior in response.(但最近发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究表明,海豹可以感知血液中的氧气量,并相应地改变它们的潜水行为)”和第四段中“The finding suggests that seals don’t just physically respond to oxygen levels by changing their heart rate or breathing, but that they are sufficiently aware of them to change their behavior.(这一发现表明,海豹不仅仅是通过改变心率或呼吸来对氧气水平做出身体反应,而是它们对氧气水平有足够的意识来改变它们的行为)”可知,McKnight的海豹研究表明,海豹能迅速感知氧气水平并据此采取行动。故选B。
D
The rich land of the Nile delta is being eroded (侵蚀) along Egypt’s Mediterranean coast at an astonishing rate, in some parts expected at 100 metres per year. In the past, land washed away from the coastline by the currents of the Mediterranean Sea used to be replaced by sediment (沉淀物) brought down to the delta by the River Nile, but this is no longer happening.
Up to now, people have blamed this loss of delta land on the two large Aswan dams in the south of Egypt, which hold back almost all of the sediment that used to flow down the river. Before the dams were built, the Nile flowed freely carrying huge quantities of sediment. But when the Aswan dams were constructed to provide electricity and irrigation (灌溉) , and to protect the huge population centre of Cairo from annual flooding and drought, most of the sediment with its natural fertilizer built up above the dam in the southern upstream half of Lake Nasser, instead of passing down to the delta.
Now, however, there turns out to be more to the story. It appears that the sediment-free water picks up sand as it erodes the river bed and banks on the 800-kilometre trip to Cairo. Daniel JeanStanley of the Smithsonian Institute noticed that water samples taken in Cairo showed that the river sometimes carries more than 850 grams of sediment per cubic metre of water-almost half of what it carried before the dams were built.
International environmental organizations are beginning to pay closer attention to the region, partly because of the problems of erosion and pollution of the Nile delta, but mainly because they fear the impact this situation could have on the whole Mediterranean coastal ecosystem.
But there are no easy solutions. In the immediate future, Stanley believes that one solution would be to make man-made floods to flush out the delta waterways in the same way that natural floods did before the construction of the dams. He says, however, that in the long term an alternative process such as desalination (脱盐) may have to be used to increase the amount of water available.
46. What stopped the sediment coming down to the delta?
A. The Mediterranean Sea. B. The River Nile.
C. The Aswan dams. D. Lake Nasser.
47. Why were the Aswan dams built?
A. To wash out the river beds. B. To offer electricity and protection.
C. To make the water in the River Nile clean. D. To keep the soil in the region nearby nutrient-rich.
48. What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A. There is no need to worry about the delta.
B. The methods of measurement need improving.
C. Whether the situation is good or not remains to be seen.
D. The dams’ consequences are beyond people's expectation.
49. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Difficulties to be settled. B. Rewards for the challenge.
C. Severe influence of the situation. D. Possible solutions to the problem.
50. What is the author’s attitude towards the problems of the Nile delta?
A. Positive. B. Unclear. C. Concerned. D. Negative.
【答案】46. C 47. B 48. D 49. D 50. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了埃及尼罗河三角洲土地正以惊人的速度被侵蚀的问题。过去人们认为阿斯旺大坝拦截了河流带来的泥沙是主要原因,但最新研究发现情况更为复杂。文章还提到了国际环保组织的关注以及专家提出的可能解决方案,反映了作者对这一环境问题的关切态度。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Up to now, people have blamed this loss of delta land on the two large Aswan dams in the south of Egypt, which hold back almost all of the sediment that used to flow down the river. (到目前为止,人们把三角洲土地流失归咎于埃及南部的两座大型阿斯旺大坝,它们拦截了几乎所有原本顺流而下的泥沙。)”可知,是阿斯旺大坝阻止了泥沙到达三角洲。故选C项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But when the Aswan dams were constructed to provide electricity and irrigation (灌溉) , and to protect the huge population centre of Cairo from annual flooding and drought, most of the sediment with its natural fertilizer built up above the dam in the southern upstream half of Lake Nasser, instead of passing down to the delta.(但是,当阿斯旺大坝被修建起来用于发电和灌溉,并保护开罗这个庞大的人口中心免受每年洪水与干旱之害时,携带着天然肥料的大部分泥沙并未流向三角洲,而是淤积在了纳赛尔湖上游南半部的坝区上方。)”可知,阿斯旺大坝的建设目的是提供电力和保护。故选B项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Now, however, there turns out to be more to the story. It appears that the sediment-free water picks up sand as it erodes the river bed and banks on the 800-kilometre trip to Cairo. Daniel JeanStanley of the Smithsonian Institute noticed that water samples taken in Cairo showed that the river sometimes carries more than 850 grams of sediment per cubic metre of water-almost half of what it carried before the dams were built. (然而如今,事情似乎另有隐情。原来,在流向开罗的800公里行程中,不含泥沙的河水不断侵蚀河床与河岸,反而卷走了沙粒。史密森学会的丹尼尔·让·斯坦利发现,取自开罗的水样显示,如今每立方米河水有时竟携带超过850克的泥沙——几乎相当于建坝前的半数含量。)”可知,过去人们认为大坝完全阻断了泥沙输送,但现在发现河流在流经过程中仍能携带一定量的泥沙,这说明大坝带来的后果比人们原先预想的更复杂,超出了最初的预期。故选D项。
【49题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“But there are no easy solutions. In the immediate future, Stanley believes that one solution would be to make man-made floods to flush out the delta waterways in the same way that natural floods did before the construction of the dams. He says, however, that in the long term an alternative process such as desalination (脱盐) may have to be used to increase the amount of water available. (但目前并无易行的解决方案。斯坦利认为,就眼前而言,可行方案之一是人为制造洪水,像建坝前的自然洪水那样冲刷三角洲水道;然而他也指出,从长远看,可能需要采用脱盐等替代技术来增加可用水量。)”可知,最后一段提到Stanley认为短期内可以通过人工洪水冲刷三角洲水道,长期可能需要使用脱盐等替代方法来增加可用水量,这些内容都是在讨论解决尼罗河三角洲问题的可能方案。故本段主要讲述的是问题的可能解决方案。故选D项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The rich land of the Nile delta is being eroded (侵蚀) along Egypt’s Mediterranean coast at an astonishing rate, in some parts expected at 100 metres per year. In the past, land washed away from the coastline by the currents of the Mediterranean Sea used to be replaced by sediment (沉淀物) brought down to the delta by the River Nile, but this is no longer happening. (尼罗河三角洲肥沃的土地正沿着埃及地中海沿岸以惊人的速度遭受侵蚀,某些区域的预计侵蚀速度高达每年100米。过去,被地中海洋流冲走的海岸土地本该由尼罗河携至三角洲的泥沙来补充,但如今这一自然补给过程已不复存在。)”、倒数第二段“International environmental organizations are beginning to pay closer attention to the region, partly because of the problems of erosion and pollution of the Nile delta, but mainly because they fear the impact this situation could have on the whole Mediterranean coastal ecosystem. (国际环保组织正开始对该地区给予更密切的关注——部分原因在于尼罗河三角洲面临的侵蚀与污染问题,但主要源于他们对这一状况可能冲击整个地中海沿岸生态系统的担忧。)”以及最后一段“But there are no easy solutions. In the immediate future, Stanley believes that one solution would be to make man-made floods to flush out the delta waterways in the same way that natural floods did before the construction of the dams. He says, however, that in the long term an alternative process such as desalination (脱盐) may have to be used to increase the amount of water available.
