Unit 4 Global warming
The Arctic will soon be free from ice，experts change is sure to take
place，but global warming and climate change are changing the earth’s landscape(地
形) rapidly，causing anxiety worldwide.
Experts say that the Arctic sea ice is melting quite faster than expected and
it can affect not just the region，but Earth in general.A scientist even says that
next year，or maybe the year after that，the Arctic will be free of ice.
Peter Wadhams，director of the Scott Polar Institute in Cambridge，said，“Most
people expect this year will see a record low in the Arctic’s summer sea ice
year or the year after that，I think it will be free of ice in summer and by that
I mean the central Arctic will be icefree.” “You will be able to cross over the
North Pole by ship，” he added.
Wadhams’ study says that melting sea ice will have a great influence on the planet
since the sea ice is more capable of reflecting(反射) sunlight compared to water that
can only reflect 10% of the the sea ice melts，the water can only reflect
a small amount of means that the Earth will receive and absorb more
sunlight，making the planet even hotter.
The year 2016 had already broken records of the hottest temperature ever recorded
and the trend doesn’t seem to show any decrease in global warming.“It doesn’t look
like the ice is healing and growing back，” Tom Wagner，NASA’s manager said in a
report.
Like Wadhams，scientists and researchers all over the world are lecturing around
to educate people to help lighten global warming that has already changed the planet’s
landscape.
判断正(T)误(F)
1．The speed of the Arctic sea ice being melting is beyond expectation.(T)
2．The Arctic won’t be free from ice soon because of global warming and climate
change.(F)
