The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in

13、the atmosphere. The lowering of the waters PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature. Increasing

14、 use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by sea water. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century. These researchers have tr

15、ied to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change"This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere," said Dr Caldeira. "And we pr

16、edict the amount of future acidity will exceed anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years, let alone perhaps after rare disasters such as asteroid impacts” However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean lifeMost organisms live near the surface, where the greates

17、t PH change would be expected to occur, but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changesCoral reefs(珊瑚礁) and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate may be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up, the team predict. They could find it much mor

18、e difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH. In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power stations in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warmingBut Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered. "Previously, most

19、 experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing-because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2, is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.” 26. The ocean is becoming more acidic due to_. A. the lower water PH value

20、B. the warming atmosphere C. the higher level of CO2 in the air D. the increasing use of oil fuel 27. According to Dr Caldeira,_ . A. ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thing B. more oil fuels will be used in the near future C. scientists may predict climate changes with computer models D.

21、 the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious 28. If the water's acidity level keeps rising, _ . A. ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affected B. the waters PH value will become higher and higher C. organisms living near the surface are more sensi

22、tive to PH changes D. some disasters will occur more often than before 29. What does the underlined word “acidic” probably mean? A. 污染的 B.酸的 C. 復(fù)雜的 D. 溫暖的 30.
