When public health fficials started telling Americans that hand washing is ne f the mst pwerful weapns against the spread f the crnavirus, Terence Lester wndered, What abut the hmeless? Lester had been hmeless himself fr a time as a teenager, and tday he runs a nnprfit in Atlanta called Lve Beynd Walls that helps raise mney fr and awareness f hmeless peple. He knws all t well that in the best f times they are lucky t find a public bathrm that will let them in t wash up ccasinally, nt t mentin several times a day.

After its success in Atlanta, the grup sent sinks t Birmingham, Alabama; Oakland, Califrnia; Clumbus, Ohi; and Austin, Texas, where a partner rganizatin installed the sinks in parks and ther public spaces, thanks t a $13,000 grant frm Ggle. In additin t the startup funds, it csts abut 5500 a mnth t keep each sink stcked with sap and clean water. One Atlanta hand-washer, Sam, made sure his gratitude didn’t g unnticed.

By the end f the century, if nt sner, the wrld’s ceans will be bluer and greener thanks t a warming climate, accrding t a new study.
At the heart f the phenmenn lie tiny marine micrrganisms(海洋微生物) called phytplanktn. Because f the way light reflects ff the rganisms, these phytplanktn create clurful patterns at the cean surface. Ocean clur varies frm green t blue, depending n the type and cncentratin f phytplanktn. Climate change will fuel the grwth f phytplanktn in sme areas, while reducing it in ther spts, leading t changes in the cean’s appearance.
Phytplanktn live at the cean surface, where they pull carbn dixide(二氧化碳) int the cean while giving ff xygen. When these rganisms die, they bury carbn in the deep cean, an imprtant prcess that helps t regulate the glbal climate. But phytplanktn are vulnerable t the cean’s warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics f the cean and can affect phytplanktn grwth, since they need nt nly sunlight and carbn dixide t grw, but als nutrients.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MIT’s Center fr Glbal Change Science, built a climate mdel that prjects changes t the ceans thrughut the century. In a wrld that warms up by 3℃, it fund that multiple changes t the clur f the ceans wuld ccur. The mdel prjects that currently blue areas with little phytplanktn culd becme even bluer. But in sme waters, such as thse f the Arctic, a warming will make cnditins riper fr phytplanktn, and these areas will turn greener. “Nt nly are the quantities f phytplanktn in the cean changing.” she said, “but the type f phytplanktn is changing.”
And why des that matter? Phytplanktn are the base f the fd web. If certain kinds begin t disappear frm the cean, Dutkiewicz said, “it will change the type f fish that will be able t survive.” Thse kinds f changes culd affect the fd chain.
Whatever clur changes the cean experiences in the cming decades will prbably be t gradual and unnticeable, but they culd mean significant changes. “It’ll be a while befre we can statistically shw that the changes are happening because f climate change,” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the clur f the cean will be ne f the early warning signals that we really have changed ur planet.”
( )8. What are the first tw paragraphs mainly abut?
A. The varius patterns at the cean surface.
B. The cause f the changes in cean clur.
C. The way light reflects ff marine rganisms.
D. The effrts t fuel the grwth f phytplanktn.
( )9. What des the underlined wrd “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Sensitive.B. Beneficial.C. Significant.D. Unnticeable.
( )10. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Phytplanktn play a declining rle in the marine ecsystem.
B. Dutkiewicz’s mdel aims t prject phytplanktn changes.
C Phytplanktn have been used t cntrl glbal climate.
D. Oceans with mre phytplanktn may appear greener.
( )11. What is the main purpse f the passage?
A. T assess the cnsequences f cean clur changes.
B. T analyse the cmpsitin f the cean fd chain.
C. T explain the effects f climate change n ceans.
D. T intrduce a new methd t study phytplanktn.

Gd day, everybdy …
Just tw weeks ag I shared sme f my thughts abut the green ecnmy in an event rganised by Sciences P and Ecl Ethik in Paris. Inevitably my main messages will be repeated, but I hpe they will be still fresh fr such a yung and fresh audience. Yu are future plicy makers, leaders and active members f ur sciety. I believe that yu have a very imprtant rle t play in shaping this wrld, yur wn future.
On 7th June last year a scientific article in the jurnal Nature stated the fllwing: “Tday cnditins are very different because glbal-scale frces including, but nt limited t, climate change, have emerged as a direct result f human activities. Human ppulatin grwth and per-capita cnsumptin rate underlie all f the ther present drivers fr glbal change”.
The wrld’s ppulatin is increasing by abut 140.000 peple per day. In just 30 years - ne generatin - 2 billin peple mre will share the planet, which is mre than the ttal amunt f the ppulatin n the planet at the beginning f the 20th Century. On tp f that, in just ver 15 years frm nw, there will be an additinal 3 billin middle class cnsumers, which crrespnds t twice the ttal ppulatin at the beginning f the previus century.
Of curse, this is great fr thse 3 billin whse living standards will rise, and fr the businesses that will succeed in prviding fr thse demands, but this will put great stress n many resurces. We will need three times mre resurces -140 billin tns annually- by 2050. The demand fr fd, feed and fiber is prjected t increase by 70%.
T put it simply: the wrld has changed. We are mre intercnnected and interdependent than ever. Many challenges, like climate change, disappearing bidiversity, scarce resurces (like water, land r ceans), ptential pandemics, pverty, glbal security … can nly be addressed if we jin ur frces. Lking t the future, the “business as usual” scenari simply will nt wrk. Transitin frm ur current resurce intensive grwth mdel t a resurce efficient grwth mdel is abslutely necessary. It is actually inevitable fr all ur ecnmies. Fr the first time, we humans, are affecting the balance f ur planet.
Fr the past tw centuries we have relied n an ecnmic grwth mdel based n cheap and abundant resurces. This great acceleratin has been a fantastic achievement f the generatins f humans that have s successfully vercme s many bstacles t bring such unimagined health and prsperity. But we cannt g n grwing in the resurce-intensive way we did in the past; certainly nt n a glbal scale. Tday the richest 20% f the wrld cnsume abut 60 times mre than the prest 20%. Just imagine the stress n the wrld’s resurces if the rest f the wrld wuld live the same way as we d.
( )12. Which f the fllwing is the direct cntributr t glbal change?
A. human ppulatin grwth B. scarce resurces
C. human activities D. financial and ecnmic crisis
( )13. The writer uses many figures in the passages fur and five in rder t ______.
A. better infrm us the unbelievable grwth f the planet’s ppulatin
B. better address the glbal challenges which we all face
C. better shw us the cnsequences f ur glbal change
D. better explain the result f human irrespnsible activities
( )14. Which f the fllwing wrds has the clsest meaning t the underlined wrd “bstacles” in the last paragraph?
A. standards B. difficulties C. resurces D. successes
( )15. The purpse f the passage is ______.
A. t advcate a resurce efficient grwth mdel
B. t raise ur awareness f envirnmental prtectin
C. t explain effective keys t a green ecnmy
D. t ffer sme advice n human daily activities
