Unit 5 The power of nature
The Melting Ice and Climate Change 冰川融化与气候变化 By nature, humans are overwhelmed by events that have immediate impacts and are more often than not (通常; 多半) failing to process a slow developing reality that could have a catastrophic effect on their lives in the long term. Climate change is one such reality. Apart from the frequent droughts, dry rainy asons, unusually heavy rainfall, and increasing heat and cold waves, climate change is becoming increasingly visible in retreating glaciers and melting ice sheets. The breaking off of a 115-square-kilometer chunk of ice, about twice the size of Manhattan, in Greenland, the Arctic’s largest remaining sheet of ice, earlier this week is the latest in what has sadly become a regular feature at the two poles. As usual, scientists and environmentalists have again voiced fears over (表达对……担忧) the rapid disintegration of the ice sheets, and they have enough reasons to do so becau the Arctic’s melt has been contributing more than 1 millimeter ri to a levels every year. 【外刊概要】 本篇文章介绍了人类会对具有直接影响的事件不知所措, 对多半缓慢发展的现实往往不能处理, 这种现实会对他们的生活产生灾难性的影响。气候变化就是这样一个现实。气候变化导致冰川融化, 冰川融化又导致海平面的上升。 | 主题语境 人与自然 课标话题 自然灾害与防治 思维品质 通过阅读外刊文章, 理解文章内容, 了解全球变暖带来的气候变化。每个人都应该为环境保护出一份力。 对接教材中小学生安全教育日 必修1 Unit 4 Earthquakes; 选修6 Unit 5 The power of nature |
