21、In the study, a team of scientists from the US Geological Survey (USGS) the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and the University of Hawaii predict that todays “once-in-a-lifetime” extreme water levels, which are currently reached every 50 years, may be reached every year in 70 percent of US co
22、astal regions by 2050, and every day at high tide for 90 percent of the US coastline by 2100, based on well-established sea-level predictions. Furthermore, the scientists found that the chances of extreme flooding increases exponentially(以指数形式地) with sea-level rise. “The idea that sea-level rise inc
23、reases coastal flooding is not entirely new. For most locations around the US, we found that 5-10 centimeters of sea-level rise can double the chances of flooding. Combining this with sea-level prediction over time, it appears that the chances of extreme flooding in most locations around the US will
24、 double every 5-10 years,” said two authors of the study, Mohsen Taherkhani from UIC and Sean Vitousek from USGS. “By 2050, it would likely mean widespread disruption of transportation due to road closures during spring tides. By 2100 with 1-2 meters of sea-level rise, city streets would likely be f
25、looded every day during high tide,” the authors said. The researchers say that if the world was able to control emissions(排放) of greenhouse gases sufficiently, we may be able to effectively delay the impacts of coastal flooding by decades, giving the nation more time to adapt.29. Why will some coast

Sea-level rise in most locations around the US can double every 5-10 years.D. Todays extreme water levels may be
28、reached every year in 70 percent of US coastal regions by 210031. What can we infer from the passage?A. The emissions of greenhouse gases may speed the rise of high level.B. Some cities along the east coast will not be easily attacked by flooding.C. We will able to remove the impacts of coastal floo
29、ding by 2100.D. The US should give more time to adapt to the flooding every day.D While bees hopping from one flower to another is vivid to watch, having bees disturbing a backyard barbecue certainly isnt.

30、 know about bees, especially the impact they have on our livelihood. The main purpose of bees, particularly honey bees, is to help pollinate(对.授粉) the plants around them.

33、 for years there has been an alarming decline of bees around the globe. The University of Vermont published a study stating that 23 percent of the wild bee population declined between 2008 and 2013. 139 counties in parts of California, the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest, west Texas and the Mississip
34、pi River valley have taken the worst hit in wild bee declines. Since 39 percent of U.S. croplands rely on pollinators for their crop including those beloved apple orchards and pumpkin patches in the fall, we are facing a serious threat. By taking care of the bees, our world is able to benefit in ter
35、ms of agricultural income and nutritious food supply. You may not be able to make a huge change on an industrial level, but as someone with a landscape of your own, why not help save the bees?32. What is the best title for the passage?A. Is Bees disappearing?B. How Can You Save Bees?C. How Bees Help
