19、rs: Thanks for not using real(猿)! The creative team behind Apes used motion-capture(动作捕捉)technology to create digitalized animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that records an actors performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image(图像).

20、case, one of a realistic-looking ape. Yet Apes is more exception than the rule. In fact, Hollywood has been hot on live animals lately.

25、D.They would lose popularity.DBy the end of the century, if not sooner, the worlds oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms (海洋微生物) called phytoplankton. Because of the way light reflects off
26、the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to change
27、s in the oceans appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, where they pull carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) into the ocean while giving off oxygen. When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate. But phytoplankton are vulner

Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MITs Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model t

Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing, she said, but the type of phytoplankton is changing.And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web. If certain k
31、inds begin to disappear from the ocean, Dutkiewicz said, it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive. Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coining decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could
32、 mean significant changes. Itll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change, Dutkiewicz said, but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.1.
