 Wildlife Crossing Bridges

The Wildlife Bridge

In 2018, Utah built a wildlife bridge over the busy highway 1-80. A 4.8-kilometer fence was created to help guide animals to the bridge. Normally, animals take a long time to discover and begin using wildlife bridges, so experts didn’t expect the bridge to get much traffic for several years. But recently, they’ve discovered many different kinds of animals are beginning to move by using the bridge.

The Rope Bridge

On China’s Hainan Island in 2015, scientists created a bridge for Hainan gibbons that are the world’s most endangered primates and normally cross the forest by swinging high in the trees. But after a 2014 typhoon, landslides caused huge gaps in the forest, which were forcing the gibbons to make dangerous jumps. Scientists created a simple and cheap rope bridge, which settled the problem.

The Eco-Bridge

In Uttarakhand state in India, the forest department has built a special "eco-bridge" , made from all-natural materials. It’s 27.5 meters long and runs over one of the busiest highways in the area. Though the bridge is high in the trees, forest department workers hope the bridge will help smaller animals on the ground, too. Already, the bridge has gotten a lot of attention on the Internet, with many people taking photos in front of it every day.

The Park Bridge

The Phil Hardberger Park lies in San Antonio, Texas, and recently it has opened what they say is the largest wildlife bridge in the US. This bridge, unlike the others mentioned here, was built for use by both animals and humans. The park says they have already seen deer using the bridge.

1．What has made experts feel unexpected about the Wildlife Bridge?

A．It’s been completed within 2 years. B．It’s being used by animals already.

C．It’s become an Internet-famous site. D．It’s America’s biggest wildlife bridge.

2．Which bridges run over highways?

A．The Wildlife Bridge and the Eco-Bridge. B．The Wildlife Bridge and the Rope Bridge.

C．The Eco-Bridge and the Park Bridge. D．The Rope Bridge and the Park Bridge.

3．What is the common purpose in building the four bridges?

A．To attract more tourists. B．To reduce traffic accidents.

C．To save endangered animals. D．To create wildlife passageways.

Kathy Sullivan and an underwater explorer named Victor Vescovo dived 10,915 meters below the surface of the Pacific Ocean in a submarine(潜艇), making the 68-year-old ex-astronaut the first woman ever to reach that depth and Vescovo the only person to have dived to the place three times. Dr. Sullivan was among the first women to join NASA as an astronaut. In 1984，she took part in a 3.5 hour spacewalk and became the first American woman to take part in activities in space outside of a spacecraft. But she has also intended to contribute something to the ocean. After she left NASA in 1993, she began working for NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) as its chief scientist.

The goal of the submarine dive was the Mariana Trench, the deepest valley in the ocean floor. And its deepest part, also the deepest point on Earth is known as Challenger Deep that is nearly 11 kilometers below the surface of the ocean.

At present, there’s only one submarine called Limiting Factor in the world that can take two people down that far. It was built for Vescovo. Last year, Vescovo used it to map the deepest points in all five of the world’s oceans. He is the first person to have done this. Because it’s so hard to get down to Challenger Deep, before Dr. Sullivan, only seven people had ever reached it. This time, the two spent about an hour and a half at the bottom, taking pictures of the area to be used for Sullivan’s studies. The time is required to adjust to the changing pressure from the weight of the water above, and it took four hours for the submarine to come back to the surface. After that, they made a phone call to the International Space Station (ISS) to compare ideas with the astronauts about what was similar between their experiences. For Dr. Sullivan, this experience was a “once-in-a-lifetime day”.

4．How many times had Vescovo dived to Challenger Deep before Sullivan?

A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4.

5．Which of the following can best describe Sullivan?

A．Ambitious. B．Considerate.

C．Modest. D．Cautious.

6．Why did it take Sullivan and Vescovo 4 hours to return to the surface?

A．They mapped the deepest points.

B．They took pictures in the submarine.

C．They phoned the ISS to exchange ideas.

D．They had to deal with the water pressure.

7．What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．For the Deepest Ocean Dive B．The Deepest Point on Earth

C．From Space to the Ocean Deep D．A Once-in-a-lifetime Day

A great amount of dark, sticky tar (焦油) was reported along Israel’s coast last week. An offshore oil tanker is believed to have leaked out.

The floating oil can form tar balls as it is pushed by wind and waves on the ocean’s surface. After a violent storm, the tar balls were seen ashore. Israel has about 190 kilometers of beaches. The tar has already had a big effect on the local wildlife. Volunteers were working quickly to rescue sea birds, turtles, and fish. Some animals were covered in oil or tar. Others had swallowed it. The body of a young whale was found washed up on shore. The whale appeared to have died after swallowing a black oily liquid.

The government has asked people to avoid going to the beach, since tar exposure can make people sick and do harm to the skin. A number of volunteers had to be taken to the hospital after breathing in the air polluted by chemicals from the tar.

Experts from Israel and Europe are still trying to figure out exactly what happened. The leak is believed to have taken place about a week ago, when there were strong storms in the area. Israel believed that a ship leaked tens or even hundreds of tons of oil in the Mediterranean. Experts are working together to review satellite images (图像) of ships that passed through the area, and they have a list of about 10 ships that are the most likely ones to leak out.

The Israel Nature and Parks Authority warned that the “consequences will be seen for years to come.” Israeli environmental minister Gila Gamliel said on Saturday that there is no more floating oil visible off Israel’s coast, “which is a very animative condition.” However, the ministry warned that large waves are forecast this week. The waves could carry the sticky tar from beach to beach, which could make cleanup efforts more difficult.

8．What brought the tar balls to the shore?

A．An oil ship. B．The sea animals.

C．A strong storm. D．The floating oil.

9．What can be learnt about the oil tanker leak?

A．When it took place hasn’t been sure. B．Israel has found out the cause of it.

C．Who’s responsible for it is unclear. D．Volunteers have tried hard to stop it.

10．What does the underlined word “animative” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Challenging. B．Natural. C．Rare. D．Encouraging.

11．In which section of a newspaper is this text most likely to appear?

A．Health. B．Environment. C．Science. D．Trade.

The rainforests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging (刺人的) tree known as Dendrocnide. Many people call it the gympie-gympie tree — a name given to the tree by indigenous Australians. Though it looks like the leaves, it’s actually covered with sharp, needle-like hairs that carry poison. If you brush up against a gympie-gympie tree, you won’t forget the pain anytime soon. Scientists doing research on it at the University of Queensland have long studied the source of this powerful sting, looking for a neurotoxin — a poison that affects human bodies.

After carefully studying different kinds of gympie-gympie trees, the scientists were able to separate out different chemicals that the trees produce. This allowed them to identify a group of chemicals that they believed was responsible for the pain. The researchers created the man-made versions of them, which they call “gympietides”. Sure enough, when the scientists injected (注射) mice with gympietides, the mice bit gently the places where they’d been injected — indicating that they hurt in those places.

When the scientists studied the way gympietides were built, they found that they formed a knot-like shape. The shape makes the chemical very stable, which helps explain how the pain lasts so long. The knot-like shape of the gympietides was similar to the shape of poisons produced by poisonous spiders and cone snails (锥形蜗牛). The scientists found out the final fact that three very different kinds of life all use similar poisons, which was beyond their imagination.

Though its sting may stop some animals from eating it, it doesn’t stop all animals. Beetles and small relatives of the kangaroo called pademelons are able to eat the plant without trouble.

12．What’s the purpose of the research on the sting trees?

A．To stop them hurting people. B．To identify the types of them.

C．To explain why they sting. D．To find out their poisons.

13．What do we know about gympietides?

A．They are made in the lab artificially.

B．They are taken from the sting trees.

C．They are often used to treat the mice.

D．They are poisons from other animals.

14．How did the researchers feel about their final finding?

A．It was unsatisfying. B．It was normal.

C．It was doubtful. D．It was unexpected.

15．What is the text mainly about?

A．Trees giving off poison. B．Sting trees’ secret.

C．Poison and pain of trees. D．Trees’ powerful stings.

二、七选五

People often seem easy to pick up infections and catch colds wherever they go. But a little prevention can go a long way for kids and adults. Just follow these tips:

Last summer, I went to Djerba, Tunisia. It was true one of the most attractive destination I had ever visited. I must admit that I have never seen such a beautiful coastline before. I spent most of my days walking on the beach but enjoying the sun and the peaceful sound of the waves. On my four day there, I took a tour and visited some local attractions, included the El Ghriba Synagogue. And that was unforgettable experience.
