“低碳经济”是一个具有广泛社会性的经济前沿理念，最早是在2003年英国政府发布的能源白皮书《我们能源的未来：创建低碳经济》正式提出的。低碳经济包括低碳发展、低碳产业、低碳技术和低碳生活等经济形态，是指在不影响经济发展的前提下，通过技术创新和制度创新，降低能源和资源消耗，尽可能最大限度地减少温室气体和污染物的排放，实现减缓气候变化的目标，促进人类的可持续发展。

　　Protection of Environment

　　1. 目前环保还存在着许多问题。

　　2. 为了保护环境，

　　3. 各国政府做了大量的工作。

　　4. 我的看法。

　　If the salinity of ocean waters is analyzed, it is found to vary only slightly from place to place. Nevertheless, some of these small changes are important. There are three basic processes that cause a change in oceanic salinity. One of these is the subtraction(减少)of water from the ocean by means of evaporation(蒸发)conversion of liquid water to water vapor. In this manner, the salinity is increased, since the salts stay behind.

　　The opposite of evaporation is precipitation(降水), such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean. This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal regions where rivers flow into the ocean.

　　Normally, in tropical regions where the sun is very strong, the ocean salinity is somewhat higher than it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation. Similarly, in coastal regions rivers dilute(稀释)the sea, salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic area.

　　A third process by which salinity may be altered is associated (关联)with the formation and melting of sea ice. When seawater is frozen, the dissolved(溶解的)materials are left behind. In this manner, seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared. Of course, when this ice melts, it will tend to decrease the salinity of the surrounding water.

　　In the Weddle Sea, off America, the densest water in the oceans is formed as a result of this freezing process, which increases the salinity of cold water. This heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper portions of the oceans of the world.

(1)All of the following are processes that decrease salinity except ________.

[　　]

A．precipitation　　　　B．evaporation

C．rivers dilute　　　　D．sea ice melts

(2)The salinity of the oceanic water is generally higher in ________.

[　　]

A．tropical areas　　　　B．coastal region

C．turbulent areas　　　　D．rainy regions

(3)Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE, according to the passage?

[　　]

A．Various factors combine to cause variations in the salinity of water.

B．As a result of the formation of ocean ice water salinity decreases.

C．The salinity of the water near the bottom of the oceans is relatively high.

D．In coastal areas the ocean is diluted by rivers.

(4)The major points discussed in the passage is ________.

[　　]

A．the subtraction of water

B．the conversion of liquid water to water vapor

C．the salinity of ocean water

D．the effect of precipitation on the salinity of ocean water
