A pssible treatment fr Flrida’s disastrus red tides (赤潮) tk anther step tward widespread use after successful testing in Sarasta Bay.
This study, led by UCF Assistant Prfessr f Bilgy Kristy Lewis, is the first successful test f any red tide treatment technlgy in pen water using large water cntainers (容器). These cntainers — abut six feet in diameter — extend frm the waters’ surface t the cean flr, allwing scientists t test real cean cnditins within a cntrlled setting. Fur cntainers were treated with a clay (黏土) slutin, while the ther fur served as a cntrl.
The clay alng with the Karenia brevis algae (海藻), which is respnsible fr Flrida red tide, is put n the cean flr. Lewis has spent the last three years carefully testing the impact f intrducing this clay int the cean ecsystem. She nt nly lks fr changes in the water’s quality, but als wants t knw hw the clay affects the health f sea life. “We want t make sure the treatment is nt wrse than the disease,” she says.
At first, the test was simply t measure the influence f the clay n the ecsystem, but an unexpected red tide event caused Lewis t make the test practical. The results suggest the clay perfrmed as expected, but there’s still a questin f whether the bad effects f algae remain active n the cean flr. Water cllected during the test shuld prvide an answer. Next steps depend n the test results, but there are already plans t survey what happened t the clay-cated algae when it’s used near seagrass beds.
Visiting Sarasta. Flrida, in the middle f a red tide event reminded Lewis just hw imprtant the research is t keep the state’s cast healthy. Lewis says she’s prepared t g anther three years if that’s what it takes t find an acceptable slutin t red tides.
8. What was the purpse f the study?
A. T plant mre seagrass.B. T fight against red tides.
C. T cllect clean water.D. T prduce cntainers.
9. What made Lewis redesign the test?
A. Her riginal wrk plan.B. An unfrgettable tur.
C. Her team’s suggestin.D. An unexpected red tide.
10. What des Lewis hpe t d in the near future?
A. Wrk with the lcals.B. Reprt Flrida red tides.
C. Further her research.D. Study seafd industry.
11. In which part f a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Nature.B. Business.C. Educatin.D. Lifestyle.

Recently a reprt was made public by NatureServe, a Virginia-based envirnmental grup, which said 40 percent f animals and 34 percent f plants in the United States are at risk f disappearing.
The grup examined data frm ver 1,000 scientists in the United States and Canada, using 50 years f infrmatin n the health f animals, plants and ecsystems. The reprt prvided pictures and maps f areas that are unprtected and where animals and plants are mst threatened.
Sean O’Brien, president f NatureServe, said what the reprt shwed was dreadful. Fr example, amng the species (物种) at risk f extinctin is the Venus flytrap, a plant that “eats” insects. The reprt said it is nly fund in the wild in a few places in the states f Nrth and Suth Carlina. The reprt als said 200 species f trees might die ut and that America’s large nrthern grasslands are amng the ecsystems mst threatened. The main threats t plants, animals and ecsystems include envirnmental destructin (破坏), land-use change, river pllutin, and climate change, accrding t the reprt.
Califrnia, Texas and the sutheastern United States are where the highest percentages f plants, animals and ecsystems are at risk. Thse areas have many different frms f life. Wesley Knapp, head plant scientist at NatureServe, said thse parts f America haven’t seen much ppulatin grwth in recent years. Knapp said lawmakers usually d nt prvide as much mney fr prtecting plants as they d fr animals. He hped the data culd guide state and area fficials in creating effective State Wildlife Actin Plan (SWAP) t prtect endangered species.
Nw $50 millin natinwide is shared amng all states t carry ut their SWAP. If the Recvering America’s Wildlife Act was passed, it wuld increase that amunt t $ 1.4 billin. Knapp said the bill wuld have better served the prtectin f plants and animals.
12. What can we infer abut the envirnmental grup?
A. It has been running fr 50 years.B. It has saved 40 kinds f animals.
C. It put much effrt int the reprt.D. It just prtects threatened plants.
13. Which is the clsest in meaning t “dreadful” in paragraph 3?
A. Pleasant.B. Similar.C. Cmmn.D. Terrible.
14. What did Knapp expect f the data?
A. It culd play an active rle.B. It may cver all the species.
C. It might help reduce the cst.D. It will take the place f SWAP.
15. Which is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. The Prtectin by Law Making SenseB. Many US Animals and Plants at Risk
C. State Wildlife Actin Plan n the WayD. NatureServe Wrking fr a Green Wrld

A pssible treatment fr Flrida’s disastrus red tides (赤潮) tk anther step tward widespread use after successful testing in Sarasta Bay.
This study, led by UCF Assistant Prfessr f Bilgy Kristy Lewis, is the first successful test f any red tide treatment technlgy in pen water using large water cntainers (容器). These cntainers — abut six feet in diameter — extend frm the waters’ surface t the cean flr, allwing scientists t test real cean cnditins within a cntrlled setting. Fur cntainers were treated with a clay (黏土) slutin, while the ther fur served as a cntrl.
The clay alng with the Karenia brevis algae (海藻), which is respnsible fr Flrida red tide, is put n the cean flr. Lewis has spent the last three years carefully testing the impact f intrducing this clay int the cean ecsystem. She nt nly lks fr changes in the water’s quality, but als wants t knw hw the clay affects the health f sea life. “We want t make sure the treatment is nt wrse than the disease,” she says.
At first, the test was simply t measure the influence f the clay n the ecsystem, but an unexpected red tide event caused Lewis t make the test practical. The results suggest the clay perfrmed as expected, but there’s still a questin f whether the bad effects f algae remain active n the cean flr. Water cllected during the test shuld prvide an answer. Next steps depend n the test results, but there are already plans t survey what happened t the clay-cated algae when it’s used near seagrass beds.
Visiting Sarasta. Flrida, in the middle f a red tide event reminded Lewis just hw imprtant the research is t keep the state’s cast healthy. Lewis says she’s prepared t g anther three years if that’s what it takes t find an acceptable slutin t red tides.
8. What was the purpse f the study?
A. T plant mre seagrass.B. T fight against red tides.
C. T cllect clean water.D. T prduce cntainers.
9. What made Lewis redesign the test?
A. Her riginal wrk plan.B. An unfrgettable tur.
C. Her team’s suggestin.D. An unexpected red tide.
10. What des Lewis hpe t d in the near future?
A. Wrk with the lcals.B. Reprt Flrida red tides.
C. Further her research.D. Study seafd industry.
11. In which part f a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Nature.B. Business.C. Educatin.D. Lifestyle.

Recently a reprt was made public by NatureServe, a Virginia-based envirnmental grup, which said 40 percent f animals and 34 percent f plants in the United States are at risk f disappearing.
The grup examined data frm ver 1,000 scientists in the United States and Canada, using 50 years f infrmatin n the health f animals, plants and ecsystems. The reprt prvided pictures and maps f areas that are unprtected and where animals and plants are mst threatened.
Sean O’Brien, president f NatureServe, said what the reprt shwed was dreadful. Fr example, amng the species (物种) at risk f extinctin is the Venus flytrap, a plant that “eats” insects. The reprt said it is nly fund in the wild in a few places in the states f Nrth and Suth Carlina.

Knapp said lawmakers usually d nt prvide as much mney fr prtecting plants as they d fr animals. He hped the data culd guide state and area fficials in creating effective State Wildlife Actin Plan (SWAP) t prtect endangered species.

C. It put much effrt int the reprt.D. It just prtects threatened plants.
13. Which is the clsest in meaning t “dreadful” in paragraph 3?
