Part of the warming is natural; we have experienced a 20,000-year-long warming as the last ice age ended and the ice ___44___ away. However, we have already reached temperatures that are in ___45___ with other minimum-ice periods, so continued warming is likely not natural. We are ___46___ to a predicted worldwide increase in temperatures ___47___ between 1℃ and 6℃ over the next 100 years. The warming will be more ___48___ in some areas, less in others, and some places may even cool off. Likewise, the ___49___ of this warming will be very different depending on where you are-coastal areas must worry about rising sea levels, while Siberia and northern Canada may become more habitable （宜居的） and ___50___ for humans than these areas are now.‎ The fact remains, however, that it will likely get warmer, on ___51___, everywhere.

Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere. But the Internet’s tremendous impact has only just begun.‎ ‎“Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political transformations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,” Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book The New Digital Age.‎ Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the 5‎ ‎ implications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But if the book has one major shortcoming, it’s that authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these sweeping changes.‎ In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes — and more importantly predicts — how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades. They paint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments must deal with two realities, one physical, and one virtual.‎ At the core of the book is the idea that “technology is neutral, but people aren’t.” By using this concept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs. pessimist dichotomy(对立观点)that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they’re also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance(监视).‎ ‎54.

They are worldwide.‎ C. They are unpredictable.‎ D. They are contaminating. ‎ ‎( contaminate的现在分词 )把…弄脏，污染; （人的思想或品德） 玷污，毒害，腐蚀;‎ ‎56. In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate?‎ A. It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology.‎ B.
