任务型阅读 Ice sheets covering three-quarters of Greenland, the world's largest island, are melting at a fast pace.  Such prediction was made from the findings of an international team of researchers, including representatives from the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI). Climate researcher Ruth Mottram said in a DMI press release, "If global warming continues as before — what we call the high emission scenario (排放情景), then the temperature will be likely to rise by a further 4. 0 to 6. 6 degrees by the year 2100.”  And the researchers added that the polar regions are more sensitive to climate change.  By using them they can calculate the extent (程度) that the melting of Greenland's inland ice would contribute to the global sea level, by examining the unstable relationship between the change in summer temperatures in Greenland and the ice's surface mass-balance over the last 30 years. "Our research shows that we should expect an increase of 10 to 12. 5 centimeters in global sea level by the year 2100 as a direct result of increased ice melting and loss of surface mass from the Greenland ice sheet alone," said Mottram. John Cappelen, senior climatologist (气候学家) at DMI and member of the research team, stressed the seriousness of the team's findings and called all people and countries to obey the Paris Agreement as a way to limit the global warming. " Otherwise we can't limit the global warming," said Cappelen. The Paris Agreement was agreed by the 195 member economies in Paris in 2015, with the goal of reducing global warming. A. It's really a pity. B. Something must happen to our behavior. C. We must do something to protect Greenland. D. However, some countries want to quit the agreement. E. Such a rise in temperature is significantly greater than we expect. F. Researchers used the latest global and regional climate modeling tools. G. By the end of this century, sea levels could rise by about 12. 5 centimeters. 答案：【1】G【2】E【3】F【4】B【5】D
