[选自：选修教材 外研版·选修一(新教材) UNIT 2 P28]
To Luke, those words—the Asian continent—sounded strange and distant. Apart from① the mountains and highlands of the Himalayas, where② a few humans still lived, the rest of the Asian continent was entirely covered in water.
What had caused such devastation③？ Luke didn't really understand; it had all happened before he was born. Global warming; melting glaciers④； rising sea levels; then waves swallowing⑤ one city after another: Venice, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, Bangkok, New York...Eventually, vast⑥ areas of the old continents had disappeared beneath the waves.,
①apart from除……以外
②where引导定语从句
③devastation n．毁灭
④melting glaciers冰川融化
⑤swallow v．吞没

A．Rising sea levels→Global warming→Melting glaciers→Waves swallowing cities
B．Global warming→Melting glaciers→Rising sea levels→Waves swallowing cities
C．Waves swallowing cities→Global warming→Rising sea levels→Melting glaciers
D．Melting glaciers→Global warming→Waves swallowing cities→Rising sea levels

2．How does Luke perceive the Asian continent
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Luke perceives the Asian continent as strange and distant, indicating that he is not familiar with it and possibly has never seen it in its pre-devastation state.
【识文知意】 对卢克来说，“亚洲大陆”这几个字听起来既陌生又遥远。除了喜马拉雅山脉的山地和高原(那里仍有少数人居住)之外，亚洲大陆的其他地区全都被水淹没。
是什么导致了如此巨大的破坏？卢克不太明白，因为这一切都发生在他出生之前。全球变暖、冰川融化、海平面上升，然后海浪吞噬了一个又一个城市：威尼斯、里约热内卢、东京、曼谷、纽约……最终，大片古老的大陆在波涛之下消失了。

To Luke, those words—the Asian continent—sounded strange and distant. Apart from① the mountains and highlands of the Himalayas, where② a few humans still lived, the rest of the Asian continent was entirely covered in water.
What had caused such devastation③？ Luke didn't really understand; it had all happened before he was born.

【识文知意】 对卢克来说，“亚洲大陆”这几个字听起来既陌生又遥远。除了喜马拉雅山脉的山地和高原(那里仍有少数人居住)之外，亚洲大陆的其他地区全都被水淹没。
是什么导致了如此巨大的破坏？卢克不太明白，因为这一切都发生在他出生之前。全球变暖、冰川融化、海平面上升，然后海浪吞噬了一个又一个城市：威尼斯、里约热内卢、东京、曼谷、纽约……最终，大片古老的大陆在波涛之下消失了。
