Part A
Directions:
One month ago, you booked two copies of Concise Oxford Dictionary, but haven’t received the books until now. So you write a complaining letter to the bookstore:
you should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use "Martin" instead. You do not need to write the address. ( 10 points)
| Today, deep-ocean mining is done only
by the oil and gas industry. Yet the dream of mining the mineral wealth of the
deep has never gone away. Now two firms hope to succeed where others have
failed. Nautilus Minerals, based in Vancouver, is the more advanced of the pair. It has an exploratory licence from Papua New Guinea and has already begun drilling operations 1,600 metres below sea level off the east coast of the country. Another company, Neptune Minerals, based in London and Sydney, has completed test drilling in the deep waters near New Zealand. Nautilus’s deep-water exploration relies on a modified deep-sea remotely operated vehicle (ROV) of the kind normally used in the oil anti telecom industries. It has a manipulator hand containing drilling and cutting tools that allow the robot to retrieve samples of rock from the ocean bed. So fa A. No mineral companies have succeeded in deep-sea mining. B. Oil and gas have been regarded as the most useful deep-sea wealth. C. Only oil and gas industry has been interested in deep-sea mining. D. The deep-sea mineral wealth has recently become the dream of miners. [单项选择]Today, deep-ocean mining is done only by the oil and gas industry.

So far the drilling has only been exploratory, but the prospects look good. The presence of these rich deposits has been known abo A. the richness of the deposits B. the effectiveness of the ROV C. how much it lakes to mine the sea D. how profitable mineral mining is [填空题]Only about two percent of Antarctica peeks through the thick sheets of ice that blanket the continent. In the winter, the lowest recorded temperatures (without wind chill) have reached -89℃ (-129°F). The continent averages 2.4 kilometers in height (1.5 miles) above sea level, making it 1.5 kilometers (almost a mile) higher than the global average land height! Each year the South Pole receives less than an inch of water...in the form of snow, of course! This amount of precipitation is similar to that of another desert, the Sahara! Katabatic winds, reaching 300 kilometers per hour (185 miles/hour), blow out of the continental interior and make the Antarctic coastal regions rather breezy.
Antarctica is an important part of Earth’s system. By acting as a global heat sink, it helps control our climate and weather. The stability of the Antarctic ice sheets is of concern to those living in low-lying areas; they contain enough water to raise global sea level almost 70 meters. Ant 我来回答: 提交
