As a marine eclgist (海洋生态学家), Charltte Yung can ften see unfrgettable sights.

The British cuple was searching fr turtle hatchlings (刚孵化的小海龟) n a beach in Oman when they came acrss a creature wh really needed their help.
Hpelessly stuck in n rcky crevice (裂缝) was a large green sea turtle. The turtle had been n her way back t the water after laying eggs when she fell between the rcks.

After a mnth f fires that gave ff recrd-breaking amunts f plluting gas, smke frm Siberian wildfires is nw making its way t the west cast f the United States.
The New Yrk Times’ Smini Sengupta reprts that Arctic wildfires in June 2020 caused mre pllutin than the data (数据) that had been cllected in the previus 18 years. Seasnal wildfires are cmmn in Siberia, but this year’s fires are unusually widespread in part because f a climate change-driven heatwave. The Arctic is experiencing climate change-driven warming faster than the rest f the earth, which sets up the dry cnditins that make fires spread.
“I was surprised t see a fire burning 10 kilmeters suth f a bay f the Laptev Sea, which is like, the sea ice factry f the wrld,” said fire researcher Jessica McCarty frm Miami University in Ohi. “When I went int fire science as an undergraduate student, if smene had tld me I’d be studying fire regimes（管强体制）in Greenland and the Arctic, I wuld have laughed at them.”
This June’s Arctic fires beat the pllutin recrd set in 2019, said Mark Parringtn, wh wrks with the Cpernicus Atmsphere Mnitring Service tracking wrldwide wildfires. Sme f the fires may have spent the winter mnths smldering （闷燃） nly t grw again in warmer wenther. And the weather has certainly gtten warmer In June, a Russian twn abve the Arctic circle called Verkhyansk hit a high temperature f 100,4 degrees Fahrenheit.
The current situatin in the Arctic circle shws that previus predictins （预测） “underestimate what is ging n in reality,” earth scientist Vladmir Rmanvsky sld. He added that temperature bservatin in the High Arctic made in the last 15 years weren’t expected fr anther seventy years.
Millins f acres f land are n fire this wildfire seasn. Mst f the wildfires are lcated in Siberia’s Sakha Republic, which sees wildfires frequently, but fires are als spreading further nrth and int unusual ecsystems, like thse that are characterized by permafrst（永冻土）.
28. What made 2020 Arctic wildfires extremely widespread?
A. The warmer climate.B. Strnger seasnal winds.
C. Mre fires caused by humans.D. Humans’ prer cntrl f them.
29. What did Jessica McCarty want t say in paragraph 3?
A. She used t laugh at thse wh studied the Arctic.
B. She had decided t be a firefighter in Greenland.
C. She used t think fires rarely happened in the Arctic.
D. She had shwn little interest in studying fire science.
30. What can we learn frm paragraph 4?
A. The Arctic fires may g ut in winter.
B. 2020 Arctic fires may be related t thse in 2019.
C. The pllutin recrd in the Arctic is brken each year.
D. 2020 Arctic fires affected temperatures acrss Russia.

There has been a recent wave in Hllywd where studis take ppular animated（动画的）films and “imprve” upn them by changing them int live-actin remakes. The thught that live-actin mvies are better because they fllw the laws f the natural wrld degrades the style f animatin.
The beauty f animatin is that its use f caricatures（漫画）and exaggeratins（夸张）reflects an amazing amunt f creative depth in characters stries that reality cannt. Lking at the bigger picture, it becmes clear that the true purpse f Disney’s ever grwing list f live-actin remakes is nt t cmment n the value f animatin, althugh it indirectly des, but a quick way t take advantage f nstalgic（怀旧的）fans.
Fr evidence, lk n further than Disney’s 2019 The Lin King live-actin remake, a retelling f the 1994 animated classic. It brke several bx ffice recrds, raking in a whpping $543.6 millin glbally in bx ffice sales alne. Hwever, in cmparisn t the riginal, the audience satisfactin with the remake decreased greatly n Rtten Tmates. This is similar t the the remakes f Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Dumb, Aladdin, and the cuntless ther live-actin remakes Disney has prduced within the last 5 years. This means that Disney n lnger needs t cme up with new and riginal cntent because they can make a big prfit just by taking belved stries and remaking them.
In fact, Disney lks at itself as a business, and therefre cnsiders making a prfit as ne f their main aims.
The prblem with this mentality（心态）is that, while Disney makes a huge prfit, audiences, artists, and art suffer. They may n lnger create new stries r art styles, but rather serve as mney-making machines that require directrs t prduce the same stries with a fresh cat f paint every 10 years r s. If this cycle cntinues, artists will be held back frm creating new lvable characters and stries full f creativity. The feeling f nstalgia when we see ld Disney films culd pssibly never happen-t newer generatins if this cycle des nt stp.
32. What des the authr think f live-actin remakes?
A. They slw dwn Hllywd develpment.
B. They’ve failed t becme a ppular art frm.
C. They are pr at shwing the beauty f nature.
D. They destry the artistic expressin f animatin.
33. What makes animatin attractive?
A. It bases its stries n reality.B. It uses many special effects.
C. It explres characters fully.D. It brings back fans’ memries.
34. Why des the authr mentin the live-actin remakes in paragraph 3?
A. T tell us Disney has given up its riginality.
B. T shw Disney has fcused mre n making mney.
C. T prve t many remakes have been prduced.
D. T shw audiences have high expectatins f remakes.
35. What is wrng with Disney’s chice?
A. It reduces Disney’s incmes.B. It demands mre frm directrs.
C. It hurts new-generatin audiences.D. It causes artists t be less creative.

Seasnal wildfires are cmmn in Siberia, but this year’s fires are unusually widespread in part because f a climate change-driven heatwave. The Arctic is experiencing climate change-driven warming faster than the rest f the earth, which sets up the dry cnditins that make fires spread.
“I was surprised t see a fire burning 10 kilmeters suth f a bay f the Laptev Sea, which is like, the sea ice factry f the wrld,” said fire researcher Jessica McCarty frm Miami University in Ohi. “When I went int fire science as an undergraduate student, if smene had tld me I’d be studying fire regimes（管强体制）in Greenland and the Arctic, I wuld have laughed at them.”
This June’s Arctic fires beat the pllutin recrd set in 2019, said Mark Parringtn, wh wrks with the Cpernicus Atmsphere Mnitring Service tracking wrldwide wildfires. Sme f the fires may have spent the winter mnths smldering （闷燃） nly t grw again in warmer wenther. And the weather has certainly gtten warmer In June, a Russian twn abve the Arctic circle called Verkhyansk hit a high temperature f 100,4 degrees Fahrenheit.
The current situatin in the Arctic circle shws that previus predictins （预测） “underestimate what is ging n in reality,” earth scientist Vladmir Rmanvsky sld. He added that temperature bservatin in the High Arctic made in the last 15 years weren’t expected fr anther seventy years.
Millins f acres f land are n fire this wildfire seasn. Mst f the wildfires are lcated in Siberia’s Sakha Republic, which sees wildfires frequently, but fires are als spreading further nrth and int unusual ecsystems, like thse that are characterized by permafrst（永冻土）.

There has been a recent wave in Hllywd where studis take ppular animated（动画的）films and “imprve” upn them by changing them int live-actin remakes. The thught that live-actin mvies are better because they fllw the laws f the natural wrld degrades the style f animatin.
The beauty f animatin is that its use f caricatures（漫画）and exaggeratins（夸张）reflects an amazing amunt f creative depth in characters stries that reality cannt. Lking at the bigger picture, it becmes clear that the true purpse f Disney’s ever grwing list f live-actin remakes is nt t cmment n the value f animatin, althugh it indirectly des, but a quick way t take advantage f nstalgic（怀旧的）fans.
Fr evidence, lk n further than Disney’s 2019 The Lin King live-actin remake, a retelling f the 1994 animated classic. It brke several bx ffice recrds, raking in a whpping $543.6 millin glbally in bx ffice sales alne. Hwever, in cmparisn t the riginal, the audience satisfactin with the remake decreased greatly n Rtten Tmates. This is similar t the the remakes f Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Dumb, Aladdin, and the cuntless ther live-actin remakes Disney has prduced within the last 5 years. This means that Disney n lnger needs t cme up with new and riginal cntent because they can make a big prfit just by taking belved stries and remaking them.
In fact, Disney lks at itself as a business, and therefre cnsiders making a prfit as ne f their main aims.
The prblem with this mentality（心态）is that, while Disney makes a huge prfit, audiences, artists, and art suffer. They may n lnger create new stries r art styles, but rather serve as mney-making machines that require directrs t prduce the same stries with a fresh cat f paint every 10 years r s. If this cycle cntinues, artists will be held back frm creating new lvable characters and stries full f creativity. The feeling f nstalgia when we see ld Disney films culd pssibly never happen-t newer generatins if this cycle des nt stp.
32. What des the authr think f live-actin remakes?
A. They slw dwn Hllywd develpment.
B. They’ve failed t becme a ppular art frm.
C. They are pr at shwing the beauty f nature.
D. They destry the artistic expressin f animatin.
33. What makes animatin attractive?
A. It bases its stries n reality.B. It uses many special effects.
C. It explres characters fully.D. It brings back fans’ memries.
34. Why des the authr mentin the live-actin remakes in paragraph 3?
A. T tell us Disney has given up its riginality.
B. T shw Disney has fcused mre n making mney.
C. T prve t many remakes have been prduced.
D. T shw audiences have high expectatins f remakes.
35. What is wrng with Disney’s chice?
A. It reduces Disney’s incmes.B. It demands mre frm directrs.
C. It hurts new-generatin audiences.D. It causes artists t be less creative.
