11、 time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years.

12、of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations.

The term “time machine”, coined by Wells,

13、 is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future. But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einsteins theory

14、of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task. Even if you could travel into th

15、e past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”.

If the time traveler wasnt born, how would he travel back in time? And

16、 would you really like to visit the future? In H. G. Wells book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(触角). If thats whats

17、in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all. 【文章大意】这是一篇议论文。人类一直对时间旅行很感兴趣。从理论上来说, 时间旅行是可以的。但是, 从另一个角度而言, 时间旅行未必是好事。因此作者认为我们还是生活在现在更好。4.

23、ring and has already brought a wide variety of threatening destruction to human existence. Some of these are well-known and already operative, like the wildfires racing along Californias freeways or the permanent droughts that have been upsetting Mediterranean farmers. But are these all terrible dis

24、asters we can come up with that are brought about by climate change? Absolutely not. None of the challenges posed by our warming climate has appeared larger in the popular imagination than sea-level rise, as global populations and wealth are heavily concentrated in low-lying coastal cities. The best

25、 available models suggest that 37 million people currently live in places that will be below high tide by 2050in an optimistic low-carbon-emissions scenario (设想). Or rather, thats what such models suggested before this week. On Tuesday, a new study revealed that those alarming statistics were wildly

26、 inaccurate. The actual impacts of sea-level rise are going to be much, much worse. Previous estimates of the impact that rising tides would have on coastal cities relied on essentially a three-dimensional map of Earth obtained from satellite readings. But those readings were fundamentally unreliabl

27、e because they often measured the planets upper surfaces such as treetops and tall buildings rather than its ground level. These mistakes led scientists to overestimate the elevation (海拔) of many regions of Earth. In a new study published by the journal Nature Communications, scientists from Princet

28、on University detail this methodological problem, then use artificial intelligence to determine the previous literatures error rate. Their research yields some amazing updates to our conventional understanding of what the next century has in store for our coastlines. In its optimistic scenario, the

29、Princeton study projects that lands currently occupied by 150 million people will lie below high tide in 2050. But as warming destroys many of the worlds agricultural regions, climate change could accelerate migration from rural areas to coastal cities. The new study does include one piece of slight

30、ly encouraging news. While previous models suggested that 28 million humans currently live in places that already lie below high tide, the actual number is closer to 110 million which means seawalls and other barriers have proven sufficient to keep many cities dry even as sea levels have risen aroun

31、d them. Still, the scale of barrier construction necessary to save low-lying cities from collapse is now, apparently, far greater than previously understood when the task already looked terribly expensive, particularly for developing countries. If the Princeton researchers projections are correct, a

32、voiding mass death and suffering in the coming decades will require not only rapidly reducing carbon emissions and strengthening construction of seawalls but also furthering mass migrations away from low-lying cities and islands and toward higher ground. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章强调了全球变暖的问题, 并介绍了全球变暖导致的海平面上升
