Climate change leads to threat to the world's
sandy beaches,and as many as half of them could
disappear by 2100,a new study has found.Even
by 2050 some coastlines could be hard to make
out from what we see today,with 10%to 12%
facing serious erosion(侵蚀).
Using updated sea level rise predictions,the
researchers analyzed how beaches around the
world would be in a future with higher seas and
more damaging storms.They also considered nat-
ural processes like wave erosion,as well as hu-
man factors like coastal building develop
ments,all of which can affect a beach's health.
The study found that sea level rise is expected to
outweigh these other factors,and if countries do
not cut pollution quickly,rising seas could per-
manently destroy beaches and coastal towns in
the near future.Additionally,the more green-
house gases humans release into the air,the
greater the negative impact on beaches worldwide
will become.
It's hard to overstate just how important the
world's beaches are.They cover more than one
third of the world's coastlines and protect coastal
areas from storms.Beaches are also important
economic engines,supporting relaxation,tourism and
other activities.And in some areas,the beach is more
than a vacation destination.In places like Australia,
life near the coast surrounds the beach for much of the
year.
Some of the world's most popular beaches
are already taking actions.Places like Miami
Beach are bringing in large amounts of sand by
truck to fix coastlines severely damaged by
waves.Meanwhile,some areas have built protec-
tive walls to try to keep the sand from washing
away.But scientists say the financial and environ-
mental costs of these projects are huge,while ris-
ing seas,more powerful storms as well as a
warmer climate may make this a losing battle.
However,the researchers did find that hu-
mans have some control over what happens to the
world's beaches.If the world's governments can
continue cutting greenhouse gas pollution,the
researchers found that 22%of projected beach
losses by 2050 could be prevented,a number that
grows to 40%by 2100 if greenhouse gases are
limited.

话题:气候变化对全球沙滩的威胁
1.Which of the following mainly causes serious
beach erosion?
A.Wave erosion.
B.Human factors.
C.Damaging storms.
D.Rising sea levels.
解析:D[细节理解题。根据第二段“The
study found that sea level rise is expected to
outweigh these other factors,and if countries
do not cut pollution quickly,rising seas could
permanently destroy beaches and coastal towns
in the near future.(研究发现,海平面上升预计
将超过其他因素,如果各国不迅速减少污染,上
升的海平面可能会在不久的将来永久性地摧毁
沙滩和沿海城镇。)”可推知海平面上升是导致
沙滩侵蚀的主要原因。]
2.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A.Storms damage one third of the world's
coastlines.
B.Significance of beaches can't be underestimated.
C.Tourism may cause damage to beach conser-
vation.
D.Beaches are the only economic engine for
Australia.
解析:B[推理判断题。根据文章第三段“It's
hard to overstate just how important the
world's beaches are.They cover more than one
third of the world's coastlines and protect
coastal areas from storms.Beaches are also im-
portant economic engines,supporting relaxa-
tion,tourism and other activities.(世界上的海
滩有多么重要,怎么强调都不为过。它们覆盖
了世界三分之一以上的海岸线,保护沿海地区
免受风暴侵袭。海滩也是重要的经济引擎,支
持休闲、旅游和其他活动。)”可知,沙滩的重要
性不容低估。]
3.How do scientists think of the actions taken to
protect beaches?
A.Costly but ineffective.
B.Efficient but not enough.
C.Influential but slow.
D.Comprehensive but not sustainable.
解析:A[推理判断题。根据第四段“But sci-
entists say the financial and environmental
costs of these projects are huge,while rising
seas,more powerful storms as well as a warm-
er climate may make this a losing battle.(但科
学家表示,这些项目的财务和环境成本巨大,而
海平面上升、更强大的风暴以及气候变暖可能
会使这场战斗失败。)”可知,科学家认为这些保
护措施成本高昂但效果有限。]

In the fall of 2013,I was in fourth grade and
my brother Mitch was in second.When many
students had puppies,of course we wanted
one too!
“Mom,can we get a puppy?”I begged her.
“Well,”she said,“They're a lot of work,so
maybe when you are older.
"But I'm already ten.I'm old enough to look
after a puppy,"I said confidently.
“Yes,we should get a dog!”Echoed Mitch.
“Everyone else at school has a puppy,”he exag
gerated(夸张).Then mom had to repeat what
she had just said:we could get a dog when we were
a little bit older.Both Mitch and I were disappointed.
The next day,before getting ready for
school,we ran into the kitchen,where mom was
preparing breakfast,and packing our lunches for
school.In one voice,Mitch and I said,"We are a
little bit older.Can we get a dog now?"Mom
smiled and said,"We will talk about it tonight
with your dad,now go and get dressed!"We ran
quickly into our room and got ready for school,
anxious to get the day over so we could talk
about the puppy we were going to get.
That afternoon,as soon as Mitch and I got home
from school,we asked mom once more when we could
talk about getting a puppy.Mom reminded us,"We'll
talk about it when your dad gets home from work,
okay?”“Okay,”we both said and Mitch followed by
asking,"When will dad be home?"Mom told us that
dad would be home at about 7 o'clock and that we
could talk to him after we got our homework done and
all ready for supper.
7 o'clock came super slow.And it was not
until 7:05 that I heard the key turn and the door
open.I jumped up from the chair,and raced to
greet dad at the door.
“Dad!”I exclaimed,“Come on,come to the ta-
ble so we can decide if we can get a puppy!"
“Okay,”dad said as he came into the kitchen
and sat down at the table.Then Mitch and I
brought out all the reasons we could think of to
persuade dad to be on our side.

[参考范文]
Finally our parents agreed that if we could
go thirty days on best behavior,we could get a
puppy.“Yeah!”Mitch and I gave each other a
high five and we jumped with joy.From that day
on,we got up early to help mom make breakfast,
did some housework,and got along very nicely
with each other so we could make it one day clos-
er to meeting a sweet little puppy.We even de-
cided on a good name,Luckie,for our future
dog.Time dragged by and we were eagerly ex-
pecting the big day to come.
One afternoon,we returned from school to
find a little dog running in the yard."It's a re-
ward for your good behavior for the last month,"
Mom said..“Hi,Luckie!”Mitch and I were over-
joyed and we greeted the puppy excitedly.The
little dog,wagging its tail happily,looked at us
with the cutest look of innocence.We felt our
hearts melt instantly.We bought Luckie some
puppy food and several lovely toys.Ever since
then,feeding,walking and cleaning Luckie have
been our daily routine.We really enjoy watching
it grow and become our good companion.Mean-
while,we get to know that if we really want
something,we should strive hard for it.
