Huge Waves Destroying Arctic Ice Faster than Expected

Ice

covers

much

of

the

Arctic

Ocean

（北冰洋）

.

Some

pieces

of

ice

are

huge,

like

moving

islands.

As

temperatures

have

increased,

however,

some

of

the

ice

has

begun

to

disappear.

Scientists

have

discovered

huge

waves

（海浪）

in the arctic waters.

The waves were discovered by accident in May, 2010. Scientist Aleksey Marchenko and his students set out

on a trip. They wanted to study the icy waters.

On

May

2,

the

ship

traveled

east and

stopped

next

to a

large

chunk

of

ice

around

50

miles

from

the

small

island of Hopen. Marchenko prepared to lead his students out onto the Ice.

（裂缝）

around,

He decided to move the ship deeper into the ice to keep safe. The farther in they went, he thought, the harder

the ice would become. As they pushed forward, however, the ship experienced small waves, and then bigger ones.

Soon, the waves broke up the ice around the ship into thousands of smaller pieces

．

Within an hour, Marchenko and his team saw a wave that was about 13 feet high. The ship's navigation

（航行）

system finally recorded the largest waves. They were more than 20 feet in height. The waves were so strong that

they

forced

huge

pieces

of

ice

to

jump

up

and

down,

breaking

the

ice

into

smaller

pieces

within

just

one

hour.

Scientists had never imagined that the process could happen so fast. The waves in these areas used to be small.

The speed and force of the huge waves there makes it impossible to know in advance when they are coming.

That could be dangerous for navigators and local communities who are unprepared for huge waves or depend on

sea ice to protect them. Wildlife like polar bears and walruses that depend on sea ice to live is also in danger.

Some scientists think people will soon see even bigger waves in these icy waters. As waves break up ice, the

seas will become more open, and the waves will get even stronger. There are stormy times ahead.

34. When did Marchenko and his students discover huge waves in the arctic waters?

35. Why did Marchenko and his students set out on the trip?

36. What did Marchenko decide to do to keep safe?

37. How high were the largest waves recorded by the navigation system?

38. What is Paragraph 7 mainly about?

Remember when you were a little child trying to learn to walk?

First, you had to learn how to balance (

平衡

) yourself and stand. You fell down, and then got back up. You

laughed sometimes and cried at other times. After much practice, you finally learned how to balance yourself. You

got much pleasure from this new feeling of power

—

you'd stand everywhere you could. It was a happy time

—

you

did it!

Now the next step

—

walking. You'd seen others do it. It didn't look that hard

—

just move your legs while you

were standing. Wrong

—

more difficult than you ever imagined. But after you tried again and again and again, you

understood how to walk.

If people found you walking, they cheered,

back on those days when you were the little child

—

how many times did you try when no one was watching, or

when no one was cheering? You couldn't wait for someone to encourage you to take the next steps. You learned

how to encourage yourself.

So, keep trying and encouraging yourself as you learned to walk if you want to succeed in doing something.

I am Canadian. I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But my whole experience with the language

was in the classroom. All of that changed, however, during my last summer of high school. As a 17-year-old girl, I

flew

across

the

country

by

myself

for

the

first

time!

I

headed

for

Quebec

to

live

in

the

province

with

a

French-

speaking host family, who didn’t speak any En

glish. And I would learn French at a local school.

On the first day of school, all of us students were given a test to determine

our language level. We were

（测定）

required to speak only French all summer.

I

made every effort to communicate in a second language by

making new friends, seeing movies and even

ordering food from restaurants in Fr

ench. Though I couldn’t understand most of it at the very beginning, the whole

experience was exciting and refreshing.

On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip, we went

whale

watching

on

the

St.

Lawrence

River.

Even

though

it

was

raining,

we

could

see

huge

whales

swimming

around our boat. The most memorable part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City. I walked along the stone

streets, took pictures of the European- style

（欧式的）

buildings, and learned some stories there.

Finally my efforts paid off! At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn

’

t wait

to

go

back

to

school

and

talk

with

my

French

teacher.

Being

fully

immersed

（沉浸）

in

a

French-speaking

environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.
