W: Do you agree with Al Gore that there’s an urgent drive for us as Americans to do something?
M:(6-1)If you want to know the truth, it’s too late. Okay. All the ice is going to melt. There’s a lag and it’s already in the system. In fact people don’t want to say that because they still want people to change their ways.(6-2)But when it comes to glaciers and Polar Regions, it’s going to melt. Sea level is going to come up.
W: Are you saying we should do nothing?
M: No, I’m not. I was taught, when in doubt, try the truth. It’s never too late to change your ways.(6- 3)I’m not so worried about warming, because that’s going to happen and it’s happening.(7)I’m more worried about disease: I’m more worried about pandemics. I’m more worried about that than the sea level rising. At least we can walk inland. But I’m more worried about the spread of disease. That’s a bigger threat.
W: What are your views on alternative energy? The ocean is over 70% of the earth, what about taking advantage of the power of waves?
M: As an American,(8 - 1)I’m more pro alternative energy because it so affects our relationships with other countries than it does economic impact. I don’t like being dependent upon oil that’s controlled by countries that don’t like us. So, I’m more concerned about that than I am moving away from fossil fuel to wind energy or solar energy.(8 - 2)I’m more worried about how it affects our foreign policy. So I come down more on that concern than reducing our carbon footprint.
W: What about wave energy?
M: Wave energy is a lot harder. I’m actually very pro nuclear. I thought the Three Mile Island calamity was an absolute disaster.(9- 1)A disaster for our country, because I’m very pro nuclear energy. I think it’s safe if done wisely. I envy what France lias done. I think they’re up to 90%.(9-2/10)But because of that horrible tragedy and how it frightened people...and the media added to that fear, I was a little upset with that, which media has a wonderful capability of doing...that we lost a generation of bringing more and more nuclear power online.
W: Well, Dr. Ballard, I really appreciate your taking the time.
M: Pleasure, pleasure.

B、It is too late to stop glaciers from melting.
C、People should be more worried about the rising sea.

答案
B
解析
本题设题点在因果关系处。根据句(6—1)、句(6—2)和句(6—3)可知,现在采取行动为时已晚,冰正在融化,我们已经迟了一步;冰川和两极的冰层正在消融,海平面正在上升……,罗伯特不是特别担心变暖,他认为这是必然要发生并且也正在发生着的事情,因此答案为[B]。
