23、Whales, particularly baleen and sperm whales, are among the largest creatures on Earth. Their presence in the ocean shapes the ecosystems around them. These creatures are also helping to determine the temperature of the planet.

When whales die, they sink to the ocean floor and all the carbon that is stored in their extremely large bodies is transferred from surface waters to the deep sea, where it remains for centuries or more. Scientists found that before industrial whaling, populations of whales would have sunk between 190, 000 to 1. 9 million tonnes of carbon per year to the bottom of the ocean, which equals taking between 40, 000 and 410, 000 cars off the road each year. But when they are killed and their bodies are prevented from sinking to the seabed, that carbon is released into the atmosphere.

But whales are not only valuable in death. The tides of excrement(排泄物) that whales produce are also surprisingly relevant to the climate. Their iron-rich excrement creates the perfect growing conditions for phytoplankton(浮游植物). These creatures may be microscopic, but, taken together, they have a great influence on the planet’s atmosphere, absorbing about 40% of all CO2 produced, four times the amount absorbed by the Amazon rainforest.

“Whaling has removed a huge organic carbon pump from the ocean that would have been having a much larger multiplying effect on phytoplankton productivity and the ocean’s ability to absorb carbon, ” says Vicki James, policy manager at Whale and Dolphin Conservation.

What this means is that restoring whale populations to their pre-whaling numbers could be an important tool in fighting climate change, and helping to slightly reduce the large amount of CO2 from fossil fuels every year.

【1】What happens to the carbon stored in whales after they are hunted?

A．It remains in their bodies.

B．It enters the atmosphere.

C．It sinks to the deep sea.

D．It transfers to surface waters.

【2】What does the underlined word “microscopic” mean in Paragraph 3?

A．Tiny.

B．Destructive.

C．Extinct.

D．Rare.

【3】What can we infer from the text?

A．Whales are more valuable after they die.

B．Excrement of whales accelerates global warming.

C．40% of CO2 is absorbed by the Amazon rainforest.

D．Whaling has a negative influence on climate change.

【4】Which is the best title of the text?

A．What We can Do to Save Whales

B．How Whales Help Cool the Earth

C．What is Climate Change Doing to Whales

D．Why Whale Populations are Declining Sharply

24、The Olympics and COVID-19 were never going to coexist. The basic rule when it comes to controlling an infectious disease is to limit the contact people have with one another. Yet the very essence of the two weeks of competition, which begin on July 23 in Tokyo, is to invite the world to meet, greet and engage in friendly — and often socially not so distant — contests.

An estimated 70,000 athletes, coaches, staff, officials and media will be marching in Tokyo from July to August for the Olympics — at a time when infections in the city are rising again. On July 8, the government declared a fourth COVID-19 state of emergency in Tokyo, which will extend through the end of the Games.

New cases of COVID-19 emerging from any of the Olympic visitors could not only disrupt(扰乱) the Games but also forever fade this year’s Olympics as an exercise in a global pandemic that has claimed the lives of 4 million people.

Olympic organizers are working desperately to prevent that from happening. After consulting with infectious-disease experts, Tokyo 2020 officials have created guidelines for everyone who will be traveling to Japan for the Olympics. Many of the measures are familiar: frequent testing, mask orders and social-distancing procedures.

The strategy is also realistic. While it might not be possible to prevent the virus from entering secretly the Olympic community, the countermeasures are meant to contain it as much as possible. Infections will happen. The challenge lies in minimizing the risk of those infections and the impact they might have—on not just the Games but also the Japanese public and, ultimately, the world at large when Olympic delegations return home.

【1】What is the basic principle of controlling an epidemic?

A．To prevent people from communicating with each other.

B．To keep people from participating in activities.

C．To stop people from chatting online.

D．To limit the contact people have with each other.

【2】What does the underlined word “that” refer to?

A．The possible threat brought by new cases of COVID-19.

B．The spreading of virus caused by new cases of COVID-19.

C．The treatment of new cases of COVID-19.

D．The decrease of new cases of COVID-19.

【3】Which word best describes the author’s attitude to the measures for Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games?

A．Skeptical.

B．Objective.

C．Conservative.

D．Negative.

【4】From which is the text probably taken?

A．A news magazine.

B．A biology textbook.

C．A research paper.

D．A travel brochure.
