These particles provide a surface on which water vapor can condense to form clouds. Lovelock contends that this process is part of global climatic-control system. According to Lovelock, Earth acts like a super organism, with all its biological and physical systems cooperating to keep it healthy. He hypothesized that warmer conditions increase algal activity and DMS output, seeding more clouds, which cool the planet by blocking out the Sun. Then, as the climate cools, algal activity and DMS level decrease and the cycle continues. In response to biologists who question how organisms presumably working for their own selfish ends could have evolved to behave in a way that benefits not only the planet but the organisms as well, cooling benefits the algae, which remain at the ocean surface, because it allows the cooled upper layers of the ocean to sink, and then the circulating water carries nutrients upward from the depths below. Algae may also benefit from nitrogen raining down from clouds they have helped to form.9. According to the passage, which of the following occurs as a result of cooling in theupper layers of the ocean?A. The concentration of oxygen in the air above the oceans surface decreases.B. The concentration of DMS in the air above the oceans surface increases.C. The nutrient supply at the surface of the ocean is replenished.D. Cloud formation increases over the ocean.E. Marine algae make more efficient use of nutrients.10. Which of the following is most similar to the role played by marine algae in theglobal climate control system proposed by Lovelock?A. A fan that continually replaces stale air in a room with fresh air from outside.B. A thermostat that automatically controls an air-conditioning system.C. An insulating blanket that retains heat.D. A filter used to purify water.E. A dehumidifier that constantly removes moisture from the air in a room.11. The passage mentions the possible benefit to algae of nitrogen falling down in therain most likely in order toA. provide support for Lovelocks response to an objection mentioned in the passageB. suggest that the climatic effects of DMS production have been underestimatedC. acknowledge that Lovelocks hypothesis is based in part on speculationD. demonstrate that DMS production alters the planet in more than one wayE. assert that algae are the sole beneficiaries of DMS production2. 长阅读(直通车Part IV: Long passages passage 4)“Blues is for singing,” writes folk musicologist Paul Oliver, and “is not a form of folk songthat stands up particularly well when written down.” A poet who wants to write blues can attemptto avoid this problem by poeticizing the formbut literary blues tend to read like bad poetry rather than like refined folk song. For Oliver, the true spirit of the blues inevitably eludes the self-conscious imitator. However, Langston Hughes, the first writer to grapple with these difficulties of blue poetry, in fact succeeded in producing poems that capture the quality of genuine, performed blues while remaining effective as poems. In inventing blues poetry, Hughes solved two problems: first, how to write blues lyrics in such a way that they work on the printed page, and second, how to exploit the blues form poetically without losing all sense of authenticity.There are many styles of blues, but the distinction of importance to Hughes is between the genres referred to as “folk blues” and “classic blues.” Folk blues and classic blues are distinguished from one another by differences in performers (local talents versus touring professionals), patronage (local community versus mass audience), creation (improvised versus composed), and transmission (oralversus written). It has been a commonplace among critics that Hughes adopted the classic blues as the primary model for his blues poetry, and that he writes his best blues poetry when he tries least to imitate the folk blues. In this view, Hughes attempts to imitate the folk blues are too self-conscious, too determined to romanticize the African American experience, too intent on reproducing what he takes to be the quaint humor and naïve simplicity of the folk blues to be successful.But a more realistic view is that by conveying his perceptions as a folk artist ought tothrough an accumulation of details over the span of his blues oeuvre, rather than by overloading each poem with quaintness and naivetyHughes made his most important contributions to the genre. His blues poems are in fact closer stylistically to the folk blues on which he modeled them than to the cultivated classic blues. Arnold Rampersad has observed that virtually all of the poems in the 1927 collection in which Hu
