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.

29、ding by 2100.D.

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
