3、 it has never been found in Greenland. We think this is the first time anyone has reported it in ancient deposits or modern lakes there, ” Axford said. “We were really surprised to see how far north it migrated (迁徙). ”This new information could help researchers better measure Greenlands sensitivity

4、to warming, by testing and improving models of climate and ice sheet behaviour. Those models could then improve predictions of how Greenlands ice sheet might respond to man-made global warming. After all, Greenland covers 80 per cent of the Arctic country and holds enough ice to equal 20 feet of glo

5、bal sea level. “Northwest Greenland might feel really remote, but what happens to that ice sheet is going to matter to everyone in every coastal city around the world, ” said Yarrow Axford, an associate professor in the team. “One of the big uncertainties in climate science is how fast the Earth cha

7、o 30 feet, largely due to thinning of Greenland and Antarcticas ice sheets. However, now researchers believe northern Greenlands ice sheet experienced stronger warming than previously thought, which could mean that Greenland is more responsible for that sea-level rise. Finding lake deposits older th

8、an about 10, 000 years, however, has been historically very difficult in Greenland. To measure these ancient temperatures, researchers look to ice cores (冰核) and lake deposits. Since ice and lake deposits form by a gradual buildup on annual layers of snow or mud, these cores contain history of the p

9、ast. By looking through the layers, researchers can obtain climate clues from centuries ago. 【文章大意】本文为一篇说明文, 文章主要介绍了研究人员在格陵兰冰原的西北边缘发现了在最后一个冰河时代幸存下来的湖泥, 这些淤泥和常见苍蝇的遗骸表明, 格陵兰北部的冰盖经历了比之前认为的更强烈的变暖, 以及阐明这一研究背后的意义。1.

18、thousands of photos of peoples faces. They labeled (贴标签于) each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct. The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38% of the time. It seems that certain characteristics of faces give them clues about someo

27、 They tend to become what others expect them to become. D.

We spent the rest of our vacation discovering different areas of this beautiful island. But
