Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose
the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
You can love them or hate them，but no matter which tourist destination you visit，chances are you'll see
someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook.
Lonely Planet is one of the world's largest travel guide brands，publishing more than 500 different guides in
eight languages.The popular brand also produces television shows，websites and podcasts (播客) all devoted to
travel.
Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable.They also save time
and make sure you don't miss the best things.
They also provide the reviews of hostels (招待所)，hotels，restaurants and ticket information about your
destination.
This can be great if you're a nervous traveler，or if you haven't traveled by yourself before.If you're in a
country where you don't speak the language，sometimes there's nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening
up a guidebook.You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel that's cheap and clean，with
friendly staff and cold beer.
But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like them.They say guidebooks take the
fun and spontaneity (自发性) out of traveling，and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that
anything can happen.They also regret that if you follow a guidebook，you'll end up doing the same thing and
having the same experience as everyone else.You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over，
because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.
Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local communities.For example，some

Escaping predators (食肉动物), digestion and other animal activities—including those of humans—require
oxygen. But that essential ingredient is no longer so easy for marine life to obtain, several new studies reveal.
In the past decade ocean oxygen levels have taken a dive—an alarming trend that is linked to climate change,
says Andreas Oschlies, an oceanographer at the Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research in Germany, whose team
tracks ocean oxygen levels worldwide. “We were surprised by the intensity of the changes we saw, how rapidly
oxygen is going down in the ocean and how large the effects on marine ecosystems are,” he says. It is no surprise to
scientists that warming oceans are losing oxygen, but the scale of the drop calls for urgent attention. Oxygen levels
in some tropical (热带的) regions have dropped by an astonishing 40 percent in the last 50 years, some recent
studies reveal. Levels have dropped less significantly elsewhere, with an average loss of 2 percent globally.
A warming ocean loses oxygen for two reasons: First, the warmer a liquid becomes, the less gas it can hold.
That is why carbonated drinks go flat faster when left in the sun. Second, as polar sea ice melts, it forms a layer of
water above colder, more salty sea waters. This process creates a sort of lid that can keep currents from mixing
surface water down to deeper depths. And because all oxygen enters the surface, less mixing means less of it at
depth.
Ocean animals large and small, however, respond to even slight changes in oxygen by seeking refuge in higher
oxygen zones or by adjusting behavior, Oschlies and others in his field have found. These adjustments can expose
animals to new predators or force them into food-scarce regions. Climate change already poses serious problems
for marine life, such as ocean acidification, but deoxygenation is the most pressing issue facing sea animals today,
Oschlies says. After all, he says, “they all have to breathe.”
Aside from food web problems, animals face various other physiological challenges as their bodies adjust to
lower oxygen levels. Chinese shrimp (虾) move their tails less vigorously to preserve energy in lower oxygen

environments. Some creatures, such as jellyfishes, are more tolerant of low oxygen than others are. But all animals
will feel the impact of deoxygenation because they all have evolved their oxygen capacity for a reason, says
Oschlies. “Any drop in oxygen is going to damage survivability and performance,” he says.
49. According to the first two paragraphs, what worries scientists the most?
A. The worsening deoxygenation in the warming ocean.
B. The survival of predators and various marine animals.
C. The alarmingly changeable oxygen levels in the ocean.
D. The lack of attention to the warming of tropical oceans.
50. Which of the following is a reason for the oxygen loss in the ocean?
A. Polar ice melting consumes much oxygen in the ocean.
B. Global warming reduces the amount of oxygen in the air.
C. The surface polar ice water prevents oxygen going down.
D. Salty water holds less gas in the increasingly warmer ocean.
51. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Ocean deoxygenation changes some animals’ natural territories.
B. Ocean acidification is more serious a problem than deoxygenation.
C. Not all ocean animals are bothered by the decreasing oxygen levels.
D. Some animals reduce their movements in order to absorb more oxygen.
52. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. The Oxygen Levels of Marine Life B. Ocean Warming Affects Food Web
C. The Survivability of Ocean Animals D. The Ocean Is Running Out of Breath
