millions of years ago when dinosaurs like tyrannosaurus rex were alive the earth was much warmer.

There was very little ice on the land or on the sea, even in the very north or the very south of the world.
4
And the sea was much higher than it is today.
5
There have been many changes since that time, sometimes to a warmer climate,
6
sometimes to a colder one about 20 000 years ago for
7
example a time called an ice age began there was ice over much of the world

and it was three kilometers deep over much of north america
9
and europe and the sea was not as high as it is today our climate has changed many times
10
and it will change again
11
but now for the very first time people are changing the
12
climate in the year 1900 the earth was 0 .7 c colder than it was in 2000,
13
just 100 years later.
14
This change did not happen because of the Earth's orbit.
15
It happened because of us.
16
Some people think that this is a small change.

But think about this.

A change of just 5 to 7 c can start or finish an ice age.

Scientists think that it can, but not as quickly as this.

Scientists do not always agree.
22
Some think that the climate is changing a lot, and some think that it is changing a little.

Some think that it will change quickly, and some slowly.

The important question is this, how dangerous will the change be?
26
Al Gore, who worked next to President Clinton of the USA between 1993 and 2001,
27
thinks that the change will be dangerous.
28
In his film An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore describes how the Earth's climate has changed.

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
