Sea exploration has caused many problems and will continue to cause more. 当人们谈论更多地探索海洋时，他们通常是指开发海洋。海洋勘探造成了许多问题，并将继续造成更多的问题。 【重点必背】exploit vt. 开发；利用；剥削 Paragraph 2 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, and has even been found in our tap water. 更多的勘探意味着更多的污染。2010年，"深水地平线"号向海中泄漏了超过2亿加仑的石油。塑料污染也很严重，杀死了许多鸟类和鱼类，甚至在我们的自来水中也发现了塑料污染。 【重点必背】 spill vt.&vi.（spilt/spilled，spilt/spilled）（使）洒出；（使）溢出 gallon n. 加仑(容积单位，1英制加仑约等于4.5升) Paragraph 3 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. 开采资源破坏性很大，特别是在北极地区。由于气候变化，现在的冰越来越少，这意味着我们可以在更远的北方寻找更多的化石燃料。但如果我们燃烧这些，冰会融化得更多，这种负循环还会继续。气候变化正在警告我们，有些事情是非常错误的。 【重点必背】mine n. 煤矿→ mining n. 采矿；采矿业 → miner n. 矿工 Paragraph 4 Overfishing is another problem. Whales and dolphins are also hunted for their meat or for so-called 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. 过度捕捞是另一个问题。鲸鱼和海豚也被猎杀以获取它们的肉或进行所谓的研究。尽管这在1982年被禁止，一些国家仍然毫不留情地"谋杀"这些聪明的生物。海洋是生命的家园，而不是人类的财产。它是巨大的，但它比我们想象的更敏感。如果我们不保护它，后代就不会原谅我们。 【重点必背】 ban vt. 明令禁止；取缔 n. 禁令 murder vt. 谋杀；凶杀；毁坏 n. 谋杀；凶杀→ murderer n. 谋杀犯 mercy n. 仁慈；宽恕；恩惠→ merciful adj. 仁慈的；慈悲的 → merciless adj. 残忍的 possession n. [usually pl.]个人财产；拥有；控制→ possess vt. 控制；使掌握；具有；拥有 forgive vt.&vi.（forgave，forgiven）原谅；宽恕 vt. 对不起；请原谅→ forgiveness n. 原谅；宽恕 Text 2 – Supporting Sea Exploration Paragraph 1 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. Therefore, more research is necessary. 为了真正了解我们的星球，我们必须探索覆盖地球大部分的海洋。反对者可能会担心，但海洋探险对我们的未来很重要。例如，科学研究船可以帮助解决气候变化等重要问题。我们需要了解我们的星球正在发生什么，这样我们才能采取行动。因此，有必要进行更多的研究。 【重点必背】 opponent n. 反对者；对手；竞争者→ oppose vt. 反对；抵制 → opposed 反对的；截然不同的 Paragraph 2 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. 更多地了解海洋也将有助于我们更好地管理海洋资源。记录新物种将提高我们对地球上生命的了解。它可以帮助我们发现新的药物，以及新的食物和能源来源。进入深海也可以帮助我们预测地震等事件。 【重点必背】log vt. 把……载入正式记录；记录 n. 正式记录；日志；原木 Paragraph 3 The population of the world is growing and we need new resources for future development.
