5.The world's oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 40 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday．Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is covering small island nations and threatening to destroy the low-lying, densely-populated low regions around the globe. 　　The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences rising oceans．It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), according to the authors. 　　Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice．Both processes are caused by global warming．The ice sheet that sits atop Greenland, for example, contains enough water to raise world ocean levels by seven meters, which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai. 　　Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say．But up to now, there has been a puzzling gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans. 　　The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reunite the models with observed data．Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 meters from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC.

7.The year 2000 will bring big changes in communication．Cell phones will be small enough to carry in your pocket．Videophones will let you see the person you are talking to on the phone．Tiny hand size computers will know your favorite subjects．The Internet and email will be everywhere． 　　Technologists believe 2000 will be the year of video messaging．You will be able to see whom you're talking to. 　　Also in the near future small wireless boxes will pick up information from satellites．In 5 years, computers won't need to be connected through wires. 　　All of this will be good for rural areas and countries that don't have cable or telephone now． 　　In 20 years you may only need to think about something and the computer will do it. 　　Constance Hale is the author of Sin and Syntax, "I believe that email has been an incredible boon to communication．People are writing today where they would have been telephoning yesterday．So people are engaging with words more than they have for the last couple generations." If people use email and the Internet more, it could make people better readers and writers．Some people think the most important part of communication is to make people understand each other better．Will technology make that easier? 　　The translator also comes in handy in medical emergencies．Tam Dinh says, "Where people are injured it's always important to get as much information as quickly as possible." 　　Bob Parks is an Associate Editor of Wired Magazine, "Bob's morning begins at about 6:45 am．and Bob is kind of mad, because Bob usually gets up at around 7:15 and likes to cut it close with his morning commute, but I look at my radio and it says that there's a traffic jam on 101 South and I'm gonna need an extra 1/2 hour．And so my radio has got a net connection, wireless net connection as well as a good old power cord to the wall and it has received notice that there's a traffic jam and it has calculated an extra 1/2 hour commute time." 　　Some day everything may be connected to the Internet．Your refrigerator will add milk to your Internet grocery list when the date on the carton has passed．Light bulbs will be ordered before they burn out. 　　It's fun to try to guess the future．Usually the predictions are wrong．The one thing we know for sure is that we can't imagine how technology will change.[单选题] Why did Bob Parks radio wake him up 1/2 hour earlier than usual?

Passage Four

(84) Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them.

Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?

All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings.

(85) If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a difficult living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour ’s anger. The teaching in the Bible ―Let not the sun go down upon your wrath ‖ is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religious.―Let not the sun go down upon your wrath ‖ probably means ―______.

根据以下资料，回答46-60题。

Number sense is not the ability to count．It is the ability to recognize a46in number．Human beings are born with this ability．47, Experiments show that many animas are, too．For example, many birds have good number sense．If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not48．However, if you remove two, the bird49leaves．This means that the bird knows the50between two and three.

Another interesting experiment showed a bird’s51number sense．A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming．The bird did not52until the man left the tower．The man had an53．He took another man with him to the tower．One man left and the other stayed, but they did not54the bird．The crow stayed away until the second man left, too．The experiment was55with three men and then with four men．But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were56．It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were57able to fool the crow.

How good is a human’s number sense? It’s not very good．For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a58group．But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are59fooled.

It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human60is not much better than a crow’s.54A.fool,B.hurt,C.catch,D.kill
