2016年12月四级第2套选词填空原文翻译及答案解析

The ocean is heating up. That's the conclusion of a new study that finds that Earth's oceans now __26__ heat at twice the rate they did 18 years ago. Around half of ocean heat intake since 1865 has taken place since 1997, researchers report online in Nature Climate Change.

海洋正在变暖。这是一项新研究的结论，该研究发现地球海洋现在吸收热量的速率是18年前的两倍。自1865年以来，海洋吸收热量的大约一半发生在1997年之后，研究人员在《自然·气候变化》在线报告中指出。

Warming waters are known to __27__ to coral bleaching(珊瑚白化) and they take up more space than cooler waters, raising sea __28__ . While the top of the ocean is studied, its depths are more difficult to __29__ The researchers gathered 150 years of ocean temperature data in order to get better __30__ of heat absorption from surface to seabed. They gathered together temperature readings collected by everything from a 19th century __31__ of British naval ships to modern automated ocean probes. The extensive data sources, __32__ with computer simulations (计算机模拟), created a timeline of ocean temperature changes, including cooling from volcanic outbreaks and warming from fossil fuel __33__ .

已知变暖的水体有助于珊瑚白化，并且它们比冷水占据更多空间，从而抬高海平面。虽然海洋顶部已被研究，但其深处更难探索。研究人员收集了150年的海洋温度数据，以更好地了解从海面到海底的热量吸收情况。他们汇集了从19世纪英国海军舰船航行到现代自动化海洋探测器收集的温度读数。广泛的数据来源，结合计算机模拟，创建了海洋温度变化的时间线，包括火山爆发引起的冷却和化石燃料排放引起的变暖。

About __35__ percent of the heat taken in by the oceans during the industrial era now residents at a __34__ of more than 700 meters, the researchers found. They say they're __35__ whether the deep-sea warming canceled out warming at the sea's surface.

研究人员发现，工业时代海洋吸收的热量中，大约不确定百分比现在存在于700米以下的深处。他们说，他们不确定深海变暖是否抵消了海面变暖。
