PAGE PAGE 1 / NUMPAGES 3 Unit3 阅读技能突破 时文领读 主题:人与自然——人与动植物 体裁:说明文 词数:293 难度:中 阅读用时:8分钟 背景导入:无法抗拒之“暖”——与海洋酸化相比,日益上升的气温是对珊瑚更为直接的威胁。珊瑚,尤其是热带珊瑚,适应气候的能力较弱,极易受到海水表面高温的伤害。当海水温度升高时,与珊瑚共生的藻类就会大量离开,成片的彩色珊瑚因此会变惨白,而后很快死去,这种现象被称为珊瑚白化或“白色瘟疫”。 阅读技巧:训练学生根据语境进行合理推断、猜测词义的能力。 原文: Coral Reefs: the First Indicator of Climate Change Here in the northern Red Sea in the Bay of Aqaba, Israeli scientists have discovered something extraordinary. Despite higher water temperatures, these corals are healthy and even thriving. We found that corals are not bleaching. We’ve never witnessed any bleaching event which is so common elsewhere. To find out why, small corals were subjected to bleaching conditions in the laboratory. Their ruddy colour is a sign of good health. Bleaching conditions are usually considered as 1 to 2 degrees above the summer maximum and there was no bleaching. We elevated the temperature furthermore and only at 5 and 6 degrees above some maximum, they showed signs of stress and bleaching. But how can the corals here withstand such high temperatures when mass coral bleaching is occurring elsewhere? The answer may be found 18, 000 years ago when the Red Sea was much hotter. In order to survive conditions, extremely hot conditions in the southern Red Sea, they had to be or undergo selection towards thermally resilient(耐热的) corals. Those that suffer from the hot, the very hot conditions down there didn’t survive, and so corals that we see here nowadays are the ones that are descendants of the ones that survived. The study also indicates that future generations of coral in the Bay of Aqaba will also be immune to bleaching. And while we’re aware that temperatures are rising in the Gulf of Aqaba, perhaps at a faster rate than the global average, still we have about a hundred years before these corals will experience bleaching conditions or cross the bleaching threshold. Coral reefs are often the first indicator of climate change. Their loss would raise the risk of extinction
