21、, he now makes as much as 50 Australian dollars (US$50.21) an hourabout twice the amount for a typical flooring job in the U.S. He plans to start his own flooring business. “I can make what I did in a week in the U.S. in less than a day here, said Mr. Davila, who lives near a mining boom town in Wes
22、tern Australia.Australian government figures show just under 7,000 Americans currently working on long-term visas, an 80% jump over the past five years. U.S. citizens are now the third-largest group applying for so-called 457 work visas, after British and Indian nationals. Americans with degrees in
23、areas such as accounting or mine engineering, as well as other skilled workers, can obtain a nonrenewable(不可续期的) permit for as much as a three-year stay.

DScientists have long understood the key role that oceans play in regulating the Earths climate. Oceans cover 70 percent of the globe and store a thousand times mor
29、e heat than the atmosphere does. Whats newer is the understanding of how this key component of our climate system responds to global warming.A brake on global warmingfor nowOne of the oceans most important climate functions is absorbing heat and carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the gases that cause glob
30、al warming. Acting as a heat sponge (海绵), the oceans have absorbed huge amounts of heat and CO2 in the last forty years.Fujita explains that “the oceans are saving us from faster climate changethey are a big flywheel that delays rapid overheating of the earth, putting a brake on the climate system.“
31、Thats the good news, he adds. “The bad news is that the oceans only slow the atmospheric warming. Once the oceans come to balance with a greenhouse-gas warmed earth, the extreme heat will remain in the atmosphere and things will get much hotter. But where and how the oceans release this accumulated
32、(积累) heat is uncertain. And as the ocean stores heat, fragile underwater ecosystems are struggling.The most recent scientific report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) alsonotes with concern that the ocean is acidifying because of increased absorption of atmospheric CO2, and t
33、hus causing a threat for shell-forming species. Sharp increases in carbon dioxide levels will cause further acidification of the ocean. Currents distributing heatAnother important role the oceans play is that of distributor. Oceans deliver heat and life-sustaining nutrients around the globe. Just as
34、 blood vessels bring oxygen and nutrients to cells in the human body, the oceans currents carry oxygen, nutrients and heat throughout the Earth. The ocean distributes 25 to 50 percent of the energy the planet receives from the sun. For example, the Gulf Stream carries heat across the Atlantic. This
35、warm current gives northwestern Europe a milder climate than it would normally have so far north. A change to the oceans circulation (循环) patterns could throw Europe into a colder period, even as the rest of world experiences warmer temperatures. 12. We can infer from the passage that _.A. the ocean
36、s cause global warming B. the oceans stop global warmingC. the oceans release nutrientsand heat D. the ocean ecosystems face more dangers13. From the passage we can learn that the oceans currents _.A. produce oxygen and nutrients everywhere B. absorb 2550% of the energy from the sunC. distribute hea
37、t and nutrients aroundD. change the oceans circulation patterns14. Which of the following is NOT the result of the ocean absorbing heat and carbon dioxide?A. It causes further acidification.B. It affects shell-forming species.C. It makes the atmosphere hotter.D. It regulates the Earths climate. 15.
