If the salinity of ocean waters is examined, it is found to vary only slightly from place to place. Nevertheless, some of these small changes are important. There are three basic processes of changes that cause a change in oceanic salinity. One of these is the subtraction(减少) of water from the ocean by means of evaporation(蒸发)-change from liquid water to water vapor (like gas). In this manner, the salinity is increased, since the salts stay behind. If this is carried to the extreme, of course, white crystals(晶体)of salt would be left behind; this, by the way, is how much of the table salt we can get and use.

The opposite of evaporation is precipitation, such as rain, by which water is added to the ocean. Here the ocean is being diluted (稀释)so that the salinity is decreased. This may occur in areas of high rainfall or in coastal areas where rivers flow into the ocean. Thus salinity may be increased by the subtraction of water by evaporation or decreased by the addition of fresh water by precipitation or runoff.

Normally, in tropical regions where the sun is very strong the ocean salinity is somewhat higher that it is in other parts of the world where there is not as much evaporation. Similarly, in coastal regions where rivers dilute the sea, salinity is somewhat lower than in other oceanic areas.

A third process by which salinity may vary is connected with the formation and melting(融化)of sea ice. When seawater is frozen, some materials are left behind. In this manner, seawater directly beneath freshly formed sea ice has a higher salinity than it did before the ice appeared. Of course, when this ice melts, it will tend to decrease salinity of the surrounding water.

In the Weddell Sea, off Antarctica, the densest water in the oceans is formed as a result of this freezing process, which increases the salinity of cold water. This heavy water sinks and is found in the deeper part of the oceans of the world.

6. According to the passage, the ocean generally has more salt in ______.

A. coastal areas　　 B. tropical areas　　 C. rainy areas　　 D. cold areas

7. All of the following are processes that decrease salinity except ______.

A. evaporation　　 B. precipitation　　　 C. runoff　　　 D. melting

8. About the salinity of a body of water, we can infer from the passage that _______.

A. ocean salinity has little effect on sea life

B. the temperature is the most important factor

C. how quickly the water moves is directly related to the amount of salt

D. various factors (因素)combined to cause variation in the salt content of water

9. Which of the following is a result of the formation of ocean ice?

A. The salt in the water decreases.

B. The water becomes less dense.

C. The water beneath forms a deeper layer in the ocean.

D. The surrounding water sinks to the bottom of the ocean.

10. What does the word “salinity” mean in the passage? It means “_______”.

A. the composition of salt waters　　　 B. the bodies of water of the world

C. the various changes in water　　　　 D. the degree of being salt

The professor’s house, big and untidy, stood alone at one end of a huge garden. The place was totally uncared for, quite wild and overgrown with all sorts of useless things. I fought my way through bushes and tall weeds to the front door and rang the bell.

I was glad that I had found him, In twenty minutes he put me right on all the points that had puzzled me. As I got ready to leave, I looked out of his study window and said, “You’re very fond of gardening, I see.”

“No, I’m not,” he said. “But even so, I love this garden. It’s as I always wanted it to be. I never touch it at all.”

“It could be made lovely. It seems a pity to let all this ground to go to waste. But perhaps you don’t see it that way?”

“I don’t. I lived here when I was c child, and I had more than enough of gardening then. It was my father’s hobby, you see. Unfortunately, he wasn’t fit enough to do it himself. My brother and I did all of it between us-with a spade(铁锨)and a fork-year after year. There was one right way and many wrong ways. Each blade(flat, long leaf)of life was an enemy to be rooted out by hand, not just cut off. I’ve spent a good part of life at work here.”

“I see. You took a dislike to it, and now you’re getting even!”

“I disliked it. That’s putting it mildly (describe something less strongly). Then, of course, I didn’t understand the effect it had. It used to worry me. It appeared in my dreams a mistake here, something not quite straight there, the enemy showing its head in a place I was supposed to have cleaned. The work was too much. It seemed endless. The size of the place was itself a fight to a boy.”

“And now it’s yours,　 you’re just letting it go to …”.

“Ruin?” he said. “No, I don’t agree with that. This garden and I are now the best friends. I like watching it grow in its own way. I make no demands on it. I never interfere with(干扰)it, and it never interferes with me. It has freedom at last, and so have I.”

“But the path is overgrown. It’s inconvenient for you, isn’t it?”

“That’s part of my pleasure,” he laughed. “You can go out the back way. The weeds are shorter there because they don’t get the sun.”
