1 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It so happened that one morning I bought a newspaper and read the advertisement about an expedition to the South Pole with the great Sir Ernest Shackleton—this was the adventure that I had been dreaming of. Overjoyed, I applied to join the expedition, only to be turned down by Shackleton. But I was so enthusiastic that I secretly went aboard his ship and hid in a small cupboard. Unfortunately, three days later I was discovered. Since Shackleton did not want to turn back, he offered me a job and assigned me to be a steward serving meals for twenty-eight men.

The journey had not been easy. Approaching Antarctica, we got stuck in the ice and saw the ship get crushed by the ice. When the ship sank, our hearts sank with it. Before we abandoned the ship, Shackleton calmly called us together and told us to rescue our most essential supplies. We were not allowed to take most of our personal belongings, and Shackleton himself threw away all his gold. We had to camp on the ice of Elephant Island and managed to survive. But spring was coming, and the ice would soon begin to melt.

We had been struggling for days, but things on Elephant Island were going from bad to worse. We had to be crowded together under one of our boats on the rocky shore of this miserable place. It was cold and windy, and the island had no plants. Sometimes we were only able to catch a seal or a penguin to eat. Otherwise, there was no food. Soon after we arrived, Shackleton left us to find help on South Georgia Island, 1,320 kilometres away—the voyage was too dangerous and difficult for all of us to make it in our small boats. If Shackleton failed, we wouldn’t have any hope of rescue as no one else knew that we were here. We watched worried and hopefully as Shackleton and the boat sailed away from Elephant Island.

8 . American researchers say they have developed a method to remove carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the sea. The researchers say the process can be an additional way to help reduce CO₂ from the environment to fight the effects of climate change.

Plants and currents in the ocean absorb large amounts of CO₂ from the atmosphere. The sea is estimated to have drawn in about 30 percent of carbon emissions since the Industrial Revolution. But carbon emissions also make oceans more acidic (酸性的). It can hurt coral reefs, which are sensitive to ocean acidity. Reef damage then do damage to the growth of many kinds of sea life.

Gaurav Sant, director of UCLA’s Institute for Carbon Management, said the technology is meant to use the ocean’s natural abilities to reduce carbon levels in the sea. The process sends an electrical charge through seawater flowing through tanks on a large boat. That sets off a series of chemical reactions that turn the carbon emissions into a solid mineral that includes calcium carbonate (碳酸钙). The seawater then returned to the ocean and can pull more carbon dioxide out of the air. The calcium carbonate settles to the sea floor.

The process has already been demonstrated in California. Researchers are working on plans to launch another project in Singapore. The two projects are expected to be fully operational by 2025. Researchers say they are expected to remove thousands of tons of CO₂ per year. If successful, the plan is to build additional centers to remove millions of tons of carbon each year.

But experts say even if that amount of carbon can be removed, that is still thousands of times less than what will be needed to effectively reduce climate change. Margaret Leinen, director of an ocean research center, said, “While the process will likely be effective, I question how much effect it will have on climate change over a long period.” Sant said the success of such technology will greatly rely on “how fast you can build the centers”.

1. What can we learn about carbon emissions from the text?

A．Most of them are taken in by the oceans.

B．They can harm many kinds of sea life indirectly.

C．Removal of them poses a serious threat to coral reefs.

D．They will decrease ocean acidity when absorbed by seawater.

2. What does the author mainly intend to tell us in paragraph 3?

A．How a series of reactions form.

B．How an electrical charge is sent.

C．How the carbon emissions turned into a solid material.

D．How the ocean reduces carbon levels with its own natural abilities.

3. What is Margaret Leinen’s attitude to the process of removing CO₂ from the sea?

A．Opposed.

B．Concerned.

C．Approving.

D．Disbelieving.

4. What would the author most probably talk about next?

A．The approaches to protecting coral reefs.

B．The construction of industrial-sized centers.

C．The process of reducing CO2 from the environment.

D．The techniques to remove calcium carbonate from the sea floor.
