23、eing Objective on Climate ChangeA. Last week, Craig Rucker, a climate-change skeptic and the executive director of a nonprofit organization called the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), tweeted a quotation supposedly taken from a 1922 edition of the Washington Post: “Within a few years i
24、t is predicted due to ice melt the sea will rise the fabricated sentence appears in articles at and . The fabricated line seems to have been inserted around 2011, but the original article has been circulating online since 2007.E. The statement about rising sea levels aside, 1922 really was a strang
25、e period in the Svalbard archipelago, the area described by the weather report. The islands lie halfway between Norway and the North Pole, at a latitude that puts them several hundred miles farther north than Barrow, Alaska. “The Arctic seems to be warming up,“ the report read. In August of that yea
26、r, a geologist near the island of Spitsbergen sailed as far north as eighty-one degrees, twenty-nine minutes in ice-free water. This was highly unusual. The previous several summers had likewise been warm. Seal populations had moved farther north, and formerly unseen stretches of coast were now acce
27、ssible.F. What are we to take from this historical evidence? A central tenet for Rucker and his colleagues is that todays sea-ice retreat, warming surface temperatures, and similar observations are short-lived anomalies of a kind that often happened in the pastand that overzealous scientists and gul
28、lible media are quick to drum up crises where none exist. Favorite examples include numerous newspaper articles from the nineteen-seventies that predicted the advent of a new ice age. In fact, its possible to find articles from nearly every decade of the past century that seem to imply information a
29、bout the climate that turned out to be premature or wrong.G. The 1922 article has been quoted repeatedly by Ruckers comrades-in-arms since its 2007 rebirth in the Washington Times. For nearly that long, scientists have been objecting. Gavin Schmidt, a climate modeler and the deputy director of the N
30、ASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, points out that what was an anomaly in 1922 is now the norm: the waters near Spitsbergen are clear of ice at the end of every summer. More important, long-term temperature and sea-ice records indicate that the dramatic sea-ice retreat in the early nineteen-tw
31、enties was short-lived. It also occurred locally around Svalbardthe unusual conditions didnt even encompass the whole Norwegian Sea, let alone the rest of the Arctic.H. Over the weekend, after retracting his previous tweet, Rucker posted a link to a blog item about a different article, this one a 19
32、32 New York Times story. The eighty-year-old headline reads, “The Next Great Deluge Forecast By Science: Melting Polar Ice Caps to Raise the Level of the Seas and Flood the Continents.“ That one sounded juicy, and, indeed, this time the text was correct: that really is what the headline said. Ironic
33、ally, the lead researcher cited in the piece was a German scientist named Alfred Wegener, who has sometimes been considered a hero of climate-change deniers for a completely different reason. Wegener is known for proposing the phenomenon of continental drift starting around the First World War. The
34、idea was ridiculed before gaining acceptance in the nineteen-sixties, once ample evidence had been amassed. Wegeners life story, then, is used to support the idea that the small number of researchers in the field who downplay the risk of anthropogenic climate change will one day prevail.I. In realit
35、y, the potential for anthropogenic global warming was being discussed earlier than continental drift, and took even longer to gain wide acceptance. The versatile Professor Wegener was a geophysicist and polar researcher who spent much of his career studying meteorology in Greenland, and trying to un
36、lock the secrets of the Earths past. His elevated place in the current climate-change debate is abstracted from history.J. In any case, its not clear that the bloggers linking to the 1932 article read much beyond the headline. The article does discuss a collapse of the ice sheets that would raise se
37、a levels by more than a hundred feetbut it says that event lies thirty to forty, thousand years in the future. Theres nothing wrong with examining old newspaper articles for clues about climate conditions in the past. Legitimate climate researchers look at historical documents of all kinds. However,
38、 a good-faith effort to arrive at the truth would not rely on cherry-picking catchy headlines. It would require considering the context and looking at all the evidence. At the very least, it wouldnt allow for deliberate distortions. A prediction that the ice caps might melt by the year 42,000 is har
39、dly an example of climate alarmism.（分数：71.00）(1).Unlike melting ice in the glass, the melting sea ice cannot easily raise sea level.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(2).Rucker maintains that the climate change is just a terrible fantasy of the left-wing or even a totally distrustful matter.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(3).It is
40、fair to search for every piece of evidence to approach the truth without distortion.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(4).As for Rucker, the clear purpose of tweeting this quotation is to laugh at the articles about climate change,（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(5).The various unusual phenomena about climate change are merely non-e
41、xist alarms claimed by the scientists and media, would be short-lived.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(6).The drastic sea-ice melt occurred around Svalbard was only local and limited.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(7).It is normal for the waters at northern latitude 81 degrees, 29 minutes to be covered with ice.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(8
42、).It is embraced that the number of climate-change researchers will be multiplied one day.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(9).It is ironic for the leading figure of climate-change opponents to quote this piece.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_(10).In reality, the universal information in articles about climate change is eventually
43、proved to be unbelievable.（分数：7.10）填空项 1:_十二、Section C(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十三、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：71.00)You had me at “Hello“! It turns out our opening words make people take less than a second to form an impression of someones personality based on their voice alone.We know that our voices can transmit s
44、ubtle signals about our gender, age, even body strength and certain personality traits, but Phil McAleer at the University of Glasgow and his colleagues wondered whether we make an instant impression. To find out, they recorded 64 people as they read a passage. They then extracted the word “hello“ a
45、nd asked 320 people to rate the voices on a scale of 1 to 9 for one of 10 perceived personality traitsincluding trustworthiness, dominance and attractiveness.Although its not clear how accurate such snap judgments are, what is apparent is that we all make them, and very quickly. “We were surprised b
46、y just how similar peoples ratings were,“ says McAleer. Using a scale in which 0 represents no agreement on a perceived trait and 1 reflects complete agreement, all 10 traits scored on average 0.92meaning most people agreed very closely to what extent each voice represented each trait.It makes sense
47、 that decisions about personality should happen really fast, says McAleer. “Theres this evolutionary approach/avoidance ideayou want to quickly know if you can trust a person so you can approach them or run away and that would be redundant if it took too long to figure it out.“The impression that our voices conveyeven from an audio clip lasting just 390 millisecondsappears to be down to several factors, for example, the pitch of a persons voice influenced how trustworthy they seemed. “A guy who raises his pitch becomes more trustwo
