【参考答案解析】B
【要点综述】 本文主要介绍了火山学家Hazel Rymer的一些关于火山的研究活动。 由此句话的But the 38yearold volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is.”以及此句话可知,Hazel Rymer说开车上班比对火山进行研究更危险可推断出,她是以一种谦虚的说法淡化其面临的危险。 由第二段第二句“Her interest in volcanoes began at school.”可知她在读书时就对火山感兴趣。 由画线词的前一句话“There have been many changes in sea level caused by global warming and melting ice caps.”可知画线词应该指的是海平线的变化。 由第三段最后几句“‘I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it,' she explains.She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream.‘I guess it was five metres.The flow was 1,000°C, so if you hesitated, your boots would begin to melt.It was scary, but it really was a practical decision —there wasn't time to do anything else.'”可知她选择了从熔岩流中走过,而这是一条危险的路。 由最后一段的内容“…I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang…”可知,Hazel将继续对火山进行研究,并发现一些新的东西。The world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004. These food-price increases, combined with increasing energy costs, will slow if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability. Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but we’ll have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.
