[阅读理解]A new study shows one of the largest glacie①in Greenland is becoming smaller and speeding to the sea faster than scientists expected. If it continues, Greenland itself could become much smaller during this century and global seas could rise as much as 3 feet.
The rates②of change that we’re noticing are much higher than expected. If these rates continue, it is not unlikely that Greenland could shrink③by several te of percent this century. However, it’s not known how quickly this coastal respoe of the Greenland ice sheet melting will have an effect on the vast inland ice.
Greenland is the world’s largest island, covering an area more than three times the size of Texas. Some 81 percent of it is covered by ice, and there are many glacie. Glacie are like slow-moving rive of ice. Where a glacier meets the sea, its weight keeps it firmly resting on the bottom. A glacier’s front is the point where the water is deep enough that the glacier floats.
Since the 1970s, the front of Helheim stayed in the same place. Then it began melting rapidly, moving back 4.5 miles from 2001 through this past summer. It has also grown thinner, from top to bottom, by more than 130 feet since 2001. And over these past four yea, its trip to the sea has sped up from about 70 feet per day to nearly 110.
The melting is driven by a warmer climate. Temperatures in Greenland have risen more than five degrees Fahrenheit in the last decade. Since most of Greenland’s ice is on land, seas will rise as the ice melts. If all Greenland’s ice sheet melted, ocea would be 15-20 feet higher. Nobody expects that to happen anytime soon.
Notes:
① glacier n. 冰川
② rate n. 比率
③ shrink v. 缩小
1. Which of the following about the glacie is TRUE?
A. Glacie only lie in Greenland. B. Water in glacie is more than sea water.

2. According to the text, we know that Greenland ______.
A. belongs to Canada B. is the largest island in North America
C. is all covered with glacie D. is sinking under the sea level
3. Which of the following may be the result of the disappearing of Greenland glacie?
A. the climate of the world will be warmer.
B. the glacie in other area will be bigger.
C. It will be easy for explore to visit the island.
D. Some coastal cities may be under the sea.

Most British telephone cards are just plain green, but card collecting is becoming a popular hobby in
Britain and collecto even have their own magazine, International Telephone Cards. One reason for
their interest is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very
attractive desig. There are 100,000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own
design onto a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card.

for beginne, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a
market where you can only buy telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to ? 4,000. The fit
Japanese card has a value of about ? 28,000. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their

iPhone owne are vainer (虚荣) and spend more on clothes and grooming(仪容) than those who have BlackBerrys and Android phones, new research claims.
BlackBerry owne earn the most and are more likely to have long-term relatiohips, while people with Android handsets are most creative and the best cooks.
The study, carried out by TalkTalk Mobile, surveyed 2,000 owne of the three major smartphone brands to determine whether the choice of handset was an exteion(延伸) of their peonality. The study rated use in various walks of life using a point scoring system including peonalities, daily habits and the type of industries they work in.
Other results from the study found that people with an iPhone are more image cocious and generally rate themselves more attractive than those with other handsets. They are most likely to describe themselves as adventurous, bright and are most likely to work in media, publishing and education. They also believe their boss rates them highly. Apple owne also tend to have done more travelling and are the most active on social media sites.
BlackBerry owne were found to be the least punctual(准时的) ,but despite putting in the least hou at work they are the most active phone user—sending more texts and making more calls in the average day than any other phone user. They are more social and have more friends overall. They also earn nearly two and a half thousand pounds a year more than other smarphone owne, with an average salary of $27,406. BlackBerry use classed themselves so loud and mainly work in the health, finance or property secto. They were also found to drink more tea and coffee each day than any other phone user.

They have the most jobs in engineering, the government and public services and environmental services. They have the best manne and are more shy and relaxed than their counterparts.
Dan Meader, Director of Mobile at TalkTalk, said, “Many of us have our mobile phones on us almost cotantly so they do become an exteion of us in many ways. It’s interesting to see then how the choice in handset may reflect different aspects of peonality and the results do show some unusual differences.”

Britain’s seed bank, the only one in the world aiming to collect all of the planet’s wild plant species, has reached its goal of banking 10 percent by 2010.
The Millennium Seed Bank Project, run by Kew Garde—one of the oldest botanical garde—will officially deposit the 24,200th species on Thuday, a pink, wild banana from China.
More than 50 countries are now on board with Kew's giant task but vast places of the globe, including India and Brazil, still need to join in and donate seeds, director Paul Smith said.
The seed bank is one of the largest and most divee in the world with more than 1.5 billion seeds. Its goal is to help protect the planet’s bio-diveity during a time of climate change.
The wild banana seed is under threat of extinction(灭绝) in southwest China from agricultural development. It is a vital food source for Asian elephants and important for growing bananas for human coumption.
Stored at minus-20 degrees centigrade, so they can last for thousands of yea, the seeds await the day that scientists hope never comes—when the species no longer exist in the wild.
It is a race agait time, Smith said, because in the last decade alone, 20 plants held in the bank have already been wiped out in the wild. He estimates that between a third and a quarter will become extinct this century.
"It is urgent a
nd it is happening now. An area, the size of England, is cleared of primary vegetation（植被）every year." Smith said.
Because most of the world's food and medicines come from nature, protecting wild plant species is quite important, scientists say. There are already many other seed banks safeguarding food crops, which only account for 0.6 percent of plant diveity.
For Kew's next goal—to collect a quarter of wild varieties by 2020—the botanists need 10 million pounds a year, or a further 100 million pounds on top of the 40 million they have already been granted.
小题1:What’s the final purpose of the Britain’s seed bank?
小题2:The wild banana seed in China is in danger because of _______.
小题3: We can learn from the passage that _______.
小题4: What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 7 refer to?
