　　Section B

　　Passage One

　　文章解析：

　　本文是一篇地理科學類文章，有點難度，關鍵是對一些專有名詞的把握。文章開始先指出全球變暖帶來最主要的威脅是極地冰蓋的融化，并給出了相應的事實和數據加以證明。接著更多例子表明南極洲的冰蓋在過去的130萬年間至少坍塌過一次。相關高等學府的學者和科學家也相繼用實驗證明南極洲西部曾是一片汪洋。最后引用Herman Engleheart的話，再次提醒我們，西南極洲大冰原很可能再次融化消失。

　　其實按常理來說，如果聽力文章比較有難度的話，題目的難度相對應會降低。所以大家在遇到此類題型時不必驚慌。提取關鍵信息、邊聽邊記筆記，運用好背景知識等就能把題目做出來。平時也要注意擴大閱讀范圍，增長見識。關于環境保護和全球變暖之類的文章屢見不鮮，要求考生在這方面要引起足夠的重視。
