SAN FRANCISCO—Rising sea levels from climate change could wash away some of California’s most iconic beaches by the end of the century, along with hundreds of millions of dollars in property, according to a new study.
“If beaches disappear, shrink and erode(受到侵蚀), we are going to have less tourism,” said Phillip King, an associate professor of Economics at San Francisco State University. “We took the best available science, and it’s possible that the (estimated) costs are still too low.”
Economists at the university spent two years projecting economic losses from climate change at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach and the communities of Carpinteria, Malibu, Venice and Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve near San Diego.
Based on forecasts calling for sea levels to rise between 1 and 2 metres by the year 2100, the researchers invented models predicting which properties, infrastructure (基础设施), wildlife habitats and open spaces will be flooded or eroded, and the value of those losses.
They also surveyed existing reports to determine how costly it would be to protect or replace those coastal resources.
Venice Beach stands to be the hardest hit of the five shorelines studied, with a 2-metre rise in sea level over the next 90 years resulting in $96 million in losses, according to the report. A 1-metre increase over the same period would cause $31.6 million in losses there.
A more comprehensive 2009 study by the Pacific Institute, an environmental think tank, concluded that nearly 500,000 people and $100 billion worth of property along California’s entire coast were at risk of severe flooding from rising sea levels this century unless new safeguards were put in place.
The San Francisco State University researchers said their findings could guide policymakers when they consider future shorefront development. (Reuters)
1. What will a 1-metre rise in sea level over the next 90 years result in?
A. 1/2 as much loss as a 2-metre rise in sea level causes at Ocean beaches.
B. 1/2 as much loss as a 2-metre rise in sea level causes at Malibu Beach.
C. 1/3 as much loss as a 2-metre rise in sea level causes at California’s Beach.
D. 1/3 as much loss as a 2-metre rise in sea level causes at Venice Beach.
2. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People and property along California’s entire coast are to be severely flooded this century.
B. Venice Beach will remain standing there in spite of the rising sea level in the future.
C. The rising seas could wash out California beaches.
D. The rise of sea levels can be completely controlled and won’t affect tourism.
3. What’s the tone of the writer?
A. Optimistic. 　 B. Matter-of-fact. C. Doubtful. D. Pessimistic.

Ⅳ.【文章大意】 【文章大意】 这是一篇路透社的新闻报道。文章主要介绍了关于海平面上升会使加州的海滩消失的事实,以及海平面上升可能带来的损失。
1.D　细节理解题。由倒数第三段 “Venice Beach stands to be the hardest hit of the five shorelines studied, with a 2-metre rise in sea level over the next 90 years resulting in $96 million in losses, according to the report. A 1-metre increase over the same period would cause $31.6 million in losses there.” 可知,31.6约为96的1/3并且这是对Venice Beach的预测。故正确答案为D。
2.C　推理判断题。文章开头写了海平面上升会使加州的海滩消失,随后详细写了海平面上升带来的损失,所以C项符合题意。
3.B　观点态度题。全文没有提到作者的个人观点,作者像记者一样写出了一些研究成果,列出了一些数据,没有表明作者的个人态度。作者是实事求是地写了这篇文章,所以B项符合题意。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 作者在文中告诉了我们几种当我们外出旅游时,可以避免小偷入室盗窃的有效方法。
1.are protected 　此处指人们外出旅游时担心家的安全。houses and homes 和动词protect是被动关系,全文是现在时,故填are protected。
2.rapidly 　句意:犯罪事件迅速增多。此处修饰动词短语go up要用副词,故填rapidly。
3.strangers 　句意:总是给陌生人你在家的感觉。此处应该填名词strangers,意为“陌生人”。
4.cleaned 　句中snow和动词clean是被动关系,指雪被清理,用过去分词表被动,故填cleaned。
5.your　此处指让别人把他/她的车停在你的车道上。修饰driveway用形容词性物主代词,故填your。
6.Having 　此处要填的词在句中作主语,故用v.-ing形式Having。
7.or 　句意:你可以让亲戚或邻居每天帮你拿邮件和报纸。两者是选择关系,故填or。
8.that/which 　句中包含定语从句,先行词是timer,指物,在定语从句中作主语,指定时器每天不同时间开关灯,故填关系代词that/which。
9.off　turn off关掉;turn on打开。
10.when/while 　此处指当你不在家时让小偷远离你的家。引导时间状语用when/while。
