题文

Australia's Great Barrier Reef will lo most of its coral cover by 2050 and, at worst, the world's largest coral system could collap by 2100 becau of global warming, a study recently said. The study by Queensland University's Center for Marine Studies, commissioned (委托) by the Worldwide Fund for Nature, said that the destruction of coral on the Great Barrier Reef was unavoidable due to global warming, regardless of what actions were taken now. "Under the worst-ca scenario, coral populations will collap by 2100 and the reestablishment of coral reefs will be highly unlikely over the following 200-500 years," said the report entitled "Implications (可能的影响) of Climate Change for Australia's Great Barrier Reef." The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest living reef formation stretching 2,000 km north to south alongAustralia's northeast coast. "only if global average temperature change is kept to below two degrees Celsius can the Reef have any change of recovering from the predicted damage," the report said. Coral has a narrow comfort zone and is highly stresd by a temperature ri of less than one degree Celsius. Water temperatureris of less than one degree coincided (同时发生) with the world's worst recorded coral bleaching (颜色变淡)period in 1988. The warmer water forces out the algae (海藻) that give coral its color and, if all are lost, thecoral dies and the reef will die out. In 1988, 16 percent of the world's coral died, with 46 percent of the IndianOcean coral destroyed. Scientists express water temperatures to ri this century by between two and six degrees Celsius. "Thereis little to no evidence that corals can adapt fast enough to match even the lower temperature ri," said the report. Over-fishing and pollution from coastal farms were also contributing to the destruction of coral on theGreat Barrier Reef. The Great Barrier Reef supports huge fishing and tourism industries. Even under favorable conditions tourists would only be able to experience real corals in reef "theme parks".

考点

健康环保累阅读概念：

健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。体裁有记叙文、 说明文、议论文和各种应用文。

健康环保类文章阅读技巧：

   健康环保类文章常是介绍科学知识、生活常识和环境保护方面的短文。阅读此类短文要以现象或事物为中心进行思考，理解现象产生的原因、条件和客观规律等。同时要抓住事物的特征、用途和相互关系等。科普环保类文章一般为说明文，从结构上看大致可分为三个部分：   第一部分一般是文章的首段，主要用来提出文章的主题，即文章想要阐述、说明的主要内容；   第二部分是文章的主体，可由若干个段落组成，对文章的主题进行展开说明；   第三部分是结尾段，对文章的主题进行归纳总结。这类文章多用一般现在时，而且一般多使用客观性词语表述。有时为了强调客观性，也常使用被动语态。   从近几年的考试题来看，科普环保类的文章越来越与人们的实际生活相接近。由于此类文章缺乏故事情节，很多同学对此类文章感到费解。但一般的科普类文章都是就事论事，需要逻辑推理和想象的时候较少，因此此类阅读题也没有同学们想象中的那么难，只要多加训练，就能较好地答题。【阅读策略】 1、概要(Summarizing)：  阅完材料后，将所阅材料浓缩，摘要，做出所阅材料的书面或口头梗概。 2、组织(Organization)：  阅读后根据阅读内容，识别观点、人物、事件之间的关系以及文章的结构关系。如：时间关系、比较或对比关系、相关关系及因果关系等。
