3、温度距平值是某一系列数值中的某一个数值与平均值的差，分正距平和负距平。平均气温距平就是一系列平均气温（日平均气温、月平均气温等）与总平均气温的差值。平均气温距平增高就是说明这个差值增大了，相应时间段内的温度出现了异常。Earth is getting warmer and warmer.3.What happened to the polar bear?Pre-readingA:The polar bear appeared to have starved to death because it could not find enough to eat.Before you read,look
