Polar-ice meltdown Some scientists warn that ice near the Earth's Poles may indeed be melting.This “polar meltdown” may be the first sign that the Earth is heating up.We could be in very serious trouble if this trend continues.①It is estimated that a meltdown of as little as 10 percent of,Module 1 Deep South,Antarctica‘s ice would raise sea levels around the globe by 4 to 9 meters.Floods would cover low-lying regions and turn coastal cities like New York and New Orleans into real life underwater world. Scientists first predicted in the 1970s that heat trapped in the Earth's atmosphere could cause a polar meltdown.Many people now believe that human activities are turning up the heat.When we burn fossil fuels like coal and oil，we add carbon dioxide (CO2) gas to the Earth's atmosphere.Cutting down trees also makes CO2 levels rise,because trees normally soak up CO2 to make food.Scientists say higher CO2 levels strengthen the “greenhouse effect” and could increase the Earth's temperature.②In fact，CO2 levels have risen by 30 percent since the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries. Over the past three years，satellite measurements have shown a sea level rise of about a quarter inch worldwide.③“If nothing is done to reduce fossil-fuel pollution and global warming，sea levels will rise even more.” says geologist Richard Alley.,But even Alley admits that a polar meltdown would take time.The ice in Antarctica and Arctic locks up nearly nine times the volume of water contained in all the world's rivers and lakes.These are such big “ice cubes” and it would probably take thousands of years to melt them. Another scientist Charles Bentley doesn't think a meltdown will happen at all.“Even if warmer temperatures begin to melt polar-ice，” he says，“the excess moisture would most likely be redeposited as snow.” In other words，the melted ice would evaporate into the atmosphere，refreeze，and fallas rain and snow over the Poles.,①這次會議預(yù)計要開4天。 It is estimated that the meeting will last four days. ②產(chǎn)量比去年至少提高了20%。 The output has risen by no less than 20 percent over the last year. ③如果明天天好，我們將外出。 If it is fine tomorrow，we will go outing.,1．佳句仿寫一二三,In other words，the melted ice would evaporate into the atmosphere，refreeze，and fall as rain and snow over the Poles. 換句話說，融化的冰將會蒸發(fā)到大氣中，再凝固，然后以雨或雪降落到極地。,2．翻譯佳句，放眼高考,Ⅰ.單詞識記 1．________n．a(chǎn) person who travels to unknown places in order to find out more about them 2．________n．the total amount of rain that falls in a particular area in a particular amount of time 3．________adj.difficult to stay or live in，especially because there is no shelter from the weather,Period One Introduction,Reading and Vocabulary,4．________v．to make somebody/something unsteady and in danger of falling 5．________v．to help something to happen or develop 6．________adj.happening or done once every year 7．________n．the distance from the top or surface to the bottom of something 8．________n．a(chǎn) formal agreement between two or more countries 9．________adj.connected with the buying and selling of goods and services,10．________adj.(of people，political organizations， opinions，etc.) far from what most people consider to be normal，reasonable or acceptable 答案 1.explorer 2.rainfall 3.inhospitable 4.balance 5.promote 6.annual 7.depth 8.treaty mercial 10．extreme,Ⅱ.短語天地 1．________________幾乎為零 2．________________處于一種冰凍狀態(tài) 3．________________平均 4．________________使適應(yīng) 5．________________顯眼，出色 6．in the form of________________ 7．set foot on ________________ 8．in particular________________ 9．reach a depth of________________ 10．be made up of________________,答案 1.close to zero 2.in a frozen state 3.on average 4．a(chǎn)dapt to 5.stand out 6.以……形式 7.踏上，進入 8．尤其 9.深度達(dá)到…… 10.由……組成,Ⅲ.語境助記 Antarctica is an inhospitable place，with annual rainfall close to zero.It is covered with ice in a frozen state all the year round.On average，the depth of the ice is two kilometers.In some places，it reaches the depth of five kilometers.It attracts many explorers to set foot on the land.But recently，a treaty is signed to prevent the commercial use of the continent，in particular the use of military.,With annual rainfall close to zero，Antarctica is technically a desert.
