22、 The world’s glaciers are melting. Each year, they become smaller in size as ice breaks off and floats away. These giant pieces of ice also hold very old viruses and bacteria and as the ice melts, some of them may be waking up.
In 2015, scientists took ice from a 15,000-year-old glacier in Tibet, hoping to learn more about the history of life in the area. What was the result? The scientists found 28 new viruses frozen in the ice. Experts think they can learn a lot from these ancient viruses. They hope to find out how viruses and bacteria survive and this may help future people as new viruses turn up in the Earth’s changing climate. However, others worry whether these viruses and bacteria could cause sickness in humans. As yet, the viruses found in the Tibetan glacier seem to only infect amoebas, a very small living animal, they may not be a threat to people. But melting ice elsewhere in the world might be a different story.
In 2016, parts of Siberia saw a heat wave. The higher temperatures caused melting of soil that normally stays frozen year-round. As the ground warmed, bacteria escaped, which caused a sudden start of a serious disease in the area. In 2017, a teacher in Alaska came home from a trip with a skin infection. He visited his doctor. That’s when he learned that the infection was caused by bacteria from melted sea animal bodies. The bacteria had been frozen with the animals for many years before infecting him.
How worried should people be about the viruses and bacteria escaping from melting ice? Most experts aren’t ringing the alarm bells, yet. Instead, scientists worry that many viruses and bacteria will be lost as the ice melts, and so do the learning chances. Is there any hope of saving the world’s glaciers? Most experts say no — the planet has already warmed too much.
【1】What do we know about the viruses and bacteria in glaciers?
A.They will not be harmful to humans.
B.They only threaten small living animals.
C.They have stayed in ice for over 15,000 years.
D.Studying them helps humans in the long run.
【2】What does the teacher’s experience show?
A.Sea animal bodies are very common in ice.
B.Climate change can cause disease indirectly.
C.Some bacteria are safe for animals.
D.It’s easy to suffer a skin infection.
【3】What do experts care more about according to the last paragraph?
A.Having no ways to stop climate change.
B.Being unable to save the world’s glaciers.
C.Losing the chances to study the viruses and bacteria.
D.Helping the people infected with viruses and bacteria.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.Ancient bacteria’s and viruses’ waking up causes worry.
B.Ancient bacteria and viruses are trapped in melting ice.
C.What can we do to protect the environment?
D.What can scientists learn from glaciers?
23、 Wildfires were rapidly spreading through northern and southern California as powerful winds swept through the state, burning homes and forcing more than 200,000 people to leave their homes. Thousands of structures were destroyed in the massive fires. Firefighters and volunteers worked around the clock, risking their lives to save others, although thick clouds of wildfire smoke hung in the air.
But it's not just humans in danger’s path. A video of a horse running away from the rescue team to find his family of horses from CBS Los Angeles went viral. The public was touched by the horse's heroic act and shared their thoughts on the Internet.
Volunteers were rescuing several horses from the wildfire when one of the horses jumped away from the group. They were trying to help the horse, but he refused. They probably had no idea what was wrong with the horse, who just started running away from them. The horse raced back into danger to lead his family to safety, despite rescuers' best efforts to stop him. He knew he couldn't leave them behind. As the tension increased, several human strangers jumped in to help the animals — they went back to the burning barn where some of the horses remained.
You can watch the horse run back into the smoke-filled area, reconnect with the horses inside the fence, and quickly accompany them out of the fenced-off area. Though it's not clear from the video, CBS Los Angeles reported that all but one of the horses involved were saved. Disastrous as the California wildfires have been, the video and countless other rescue stories — humans and animals alike — are shining light on all acts of goodness taking place.
【1】What does the author intend to show by telling the wildfires in detail in Para. 1?
A.What caused the big wildfires. B.How serious the wildfires were.
C.What rescuers did in the wildfires. D.How rapidly the wildfires spread.
【2】What does the underlined phrases 'went viral' mean?
A.Turned bad. B.Got attacked.
C.Became interesting. D.Grew popular.
【3】Which words can best describe the horse?
A.Loyal but stubborn. B.Caring and courageous.
C.Responsible and clever. D.Flexible but aggressive.
【4】What message does the author want to convey?
A.Fighting disasters needs joint efforts. B.Animals are always friends of man.
C.All good deeds deserve to be praised. D.Animals show goodness to each other.
