愛知医科大学医学部2008年度英語入試問題 問2長文総合 問題
The structure of the world's oceans is critical to our climate. There
are three layers, separated by their temperature. The top 100 meters
or so vary enormously. Near the Poles it can be below zero, while at the
equator it can exceed 30℃.
As you descend below this familiar, light-filled world, so (A) the mercury in the thermometer. At around a kilometere down we have reached the world's deep ocean water, and from bottom to top it's remarkably stable in temperature. It varies between -0.5℃ ( it can be below freezing and not turn to ice because of the salt ) and 4℃. Most of the water in this lightless realm is exported from Antarctica, where it has been chilled to near freezing point by submarine currents. (a), the astonishing residents of the deep will eventually be heated to death. (b), which will first manifest itself where the icy water of the deep ocean comes to the surface near the Poles. ( c ) they become acid. The CO2 reacts with the carbonate present in the oceans, and the carbonate can drop below the level at which it can be used by shell-forming animals, like oysters, crabs and prawns. (d) they die.
Scientists used to think that increasing ( B ) would not become a big problem for centuries . Then in 2005 a new study indicated that the situation had got much worse.
Dangerously acidic waters may develop in the next few decades in vulnerable regions such as the northern Pacific Ocean. This is a truly frightening possibility, for this acidity would severely damage the ocean ecosystem and (1)food / to / us / its / for / produce / ability.
