He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn39。s director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs. Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One mon option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking to more handson methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year. DScientists often pare coral reefs(珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally halftransparent and get their brilliant color from algae(藻類) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, they halt the interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they39。)可判斷出,作者對(duì)過(guò)度使用高科技設(shè)備的態(tài)度是不同意的。由此判斷出,沒(méi)有過(guò)度使用科技,人們可以更好地享受生活。根據(jù)第三段的“The main goal of technology panies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products”可知科技公司的主要目標(biāo)就是讓人們能夠花更多的時(shí)間和金錢(qián)在他們的產(chǎn)品上。故選B項(xiàng)。有一項(xiàng)研究表明,人們感覺(jué)抗拒平板等電子設(shè)備比抗拒睡眠、香煙和酒精時(shí)更困難。 解析:。 。故選B。【27題詳解】考察寫(xiě)作目的。500 million”可知每年UK納稅人需花費(fèi)500 million英鎊來(lái)保持街道干凈。【26題詳解】推理判斷題。 and plastic bottles last forever, as do glass bottles.”可知,glass bottles的生物降解時(shí)間最長(zhǎng)?!?5題詳解】推理判斷題。s part of a fruit—right? ”句中“throw”推斷出discarded表示thrown被扔的意思?!?4題詳解】詞義猜測(cè)題。500 million keeping streets free of dirt.
