冰川里真的有远古时代的病毒吗 说明文 ★★★★☆ 349 10分钟 /5
Have you ever seen a glacier(冰川) If you haven’t and would like to, act quickly! As many may know, the world’s glaciers are melting. Each year, they become smaller in size as icebergs break off and float away.
However, icebergs aren’t the only things released by melting glaciers. The glaciers also hold very old viruses(病毒) and bacteria(细菌). And, as the ice melts, some of them may be waking up.
In 2015, scientists studied pieces of ice from a 15,000-year-old glacier in Tibet, China, and found 28 new types of viruses frozen in the ice.
Experts think they can learn a lot from these ancient viruses. They hope to find out how the tiny creatures survive. This may help people in the future as new viruses turn up in the earth’s changing climate.
However, others start to worry: Could these viruses and bacteria cause sickness in humans As yet the viruses found in the Tibetan glacier don’t seem to be a threat to people. But melting ice in other places in the world might be a different story.
In 2016, higher temperatures caused part of Siberia’s permafrost to melt. This is mainly made of soil(土壤) that normally stays frozen all year round. As the ground warmed, bacteria came out. This caused a large outbreak of anthrax(炭疽病) in the area. In 2017, a teacher in Alaska came home from a trip with a skin infection(感染). Later tests showed that he had been infected by ancient bacteria.
How worried should people be about the viruses and bacteria coming out from melting ice Most experts haven’t rung the alarm bells, yet.
Is there any hope of saving the world’s glaciers Most experts say “no”—the planet has already warmed too much. However, there’s still time to stop many other serious effects of climate change. Let’s start by doing the small things we can do—for example, save water and electricity and drive less—to help keep the environment healthy.
( )1.Melting glaciers released all the following EXCEPT .
A.icebergs B.old viruses
C.old bacteria D.soil
( )2.The viruses found in the Tibetan glacier may be to people.
A.dangerous B.safe
C.friendly D.harmful
( )3.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “permafrost” in Chinese
A.永久冻土 B.肥沃土壤
C.泥泞土地 D.松软土壤
( )4.Which of the following is NOT true
A.If temperatures get higher, permafrost will melt.
B.It is very difficult for people to save the world’s glaciers.
C.Most experts warn people melting ice somewhere in the world might be dangerous.
D.A teacher in Alaska had been infected by ancient bacteria during a trip several years ago.
( )5.What’s the best title of the passage
A.The earth is becoming warmer
B.Try our best to protect the glaciers
C.The danger of old viruses and bacteria
D.Ancient viruses trapped in glaciers are released

Minu Pauline runs this popular restaurant in Kochi. Recently she has placed a fridge on the roadside out of her restaurant. She always expects people to put their leftover food in the fridge for hungry people to take.
People who are in need of a meal are encouraged to take the food from the fridge at any time. The fridge is open for 24 hours a day. Pauline wishes that people could write the date when they leave the food, so others will know how long the food has been there if they want to take it.
Although so many people put food in the fridge every day, more food is still needed because there are so many hungry people around. Luckily, Pauline herself always puts 75 to 80 portions(份) of food from her restaurant in the fridge every day.
The idea came to Pauline late one night when she saw a lady searching for food in a trash can(垃圾箱). She was pretty sad and then decided to help such people.
“You needn’t buy food to put in the fridge to help those hungry people. However, if you can’t finish eating all the food you’ve bought, you might put the rest in the fridge instead of the trash can. An easy act could really help those in need,” she said.

D.Because a poor and hungry lady expected her to do so.

A.Minu Pauline is ready to help people in need.
B.Hungry people may take food from the fridge at any time.
C.The Indians are more used to putting their rest food in trash cans.
D.There might be a lot of hungry people in some parts of India.

侦探故事 记叙文 ★★★★★ 427 12分钟 /5
In Paris, one freezing winter evening, I was having dinner with my friend, Mr. Dupin, the famous detective. We had just finished our meal when there was a loud knock at the door. Dupin opened it. There stood Mr. Germain, the chief of the Paris Police.
We welcomed him warmly, for he was an old acquaintance(熟人) whom we hadn’t seen for a long time.
“I need your assistance,” said Germain. “I met a case(案件) that has been giving me a great deal of trouble. I have learned that a very important letter has been stolen from the king. We are sure who stole it and that the letter is in his house.”
“But who would dare do such a thing ” I cried.
“The thief,” said Germain softly, “is a man who dares to do many dangerous things. He is one of the most powerful and important ministers in the government. He is Minister Danton!”
“Have you searched his house ”
“A lot of times. While Minister Danton was out, a lot of well-trained police officers carefully searched the entire house, room by room. In fact, we examined everything in the house but found nothing…”
A month later, Dupin asked Germain and me to his house. There he took out a letter and handed it to the chief. We were both very surprised.
Dupin explained, “I know Minister Danton very well. He could not hide the letter in any of the usual hiding places. I realized that he might have left the letter out in the open, right under everyone’s nose, where no one would search for it.”
“Then I visited him with my dark glasses on to help me observe(观察) better. While we were chatting, a dirty, torn letter in the letter holder suddenly caught my eye—unusual for the Minister, who is careful and neat.①I was sure it was the letter. Then I purposely left my gloves behind so I could come back again. The next morning, I hired a man to fire① a gun on the street. While the Minister went to see what happened, I stole the letter by replacing it with a similar one.” On it Dupin wrote these words:
Your plan was good, but mine was better. As you can see, I took the letter.
—Based on a story by Edgar Allan Poe

A.had finished dinner
B.was having dinner with the writer

在巴黎,一个寒冷冬天的晚上,我和我的朋友,著名的侦探杜宾先生一起吃晚饭。我们刚吃完饭,这时传来了一声很响的敲门声。杜宾打开门。站在那里的是巴黎警察局局长热尔曼先生。
我们热情地欢迎他,因为他是我们很久没见的老熟人了。
“我需要你的帮助,” 热尔曼说。“我遇到了一个给我带来很多麻烦的案子。我了解到国王的一封非常重要的信被偷了。我们确信是谁偷的,信在他家里。”
“可是谁敢做这种事呢 ”我大叫道。
“那个小偷,”热尔曼轻轻地说,“是一个敢做许多危险事情的人。他是政府最有权力和最重要的部长之一。他就是丹东部长!”
“你搜查过他的房子吗 ”
“很多次。当丹东部长不在时,许多训练有素的警察仔细地搜查了整个房子,一个房间一个房间地搜查。事实上,我们检查了房子里的一切,但什么也没发现……”
一个月后,杜宾邀请我和热尔曼去他家。在那里,他拿出一封信交给了局长。我们两个人都很惊讶。
杜宾解释说:“我很了解丹东部长。他不可能把信藏在任何一个普通的藏匿之处。我意识到他可能把信放在了外面,就在每个人的眼皮底下,一个没有人会去找的地方。”
“然后我戴上墨镜去拜访他,以便有助于我更好地观察。我们在聊天时,信箱里一封又脏又破的信突然引起了我的注意——这对于这个细心且整洁的部长来说是不寻常的。我肯定就是那封信。然后我故意把手套留下,所以我能再回来。第二天早上,我雇了一个人在街上开枪。当部长去看发生了什么事时,我偷了那封信,并用一封类似的信代替了它。”杜宾在信上写道:
“你的计划很好,但我的更好。如你所见,我拿了信。”

冰川里真的有远古时代的病毒吗
【篇章导读】 由于地球变暖,冰川开始融化,但冰山并不是冰川融化释放的唯一物质,冰川上也有非常古老的病毒和细菌。而且,随着冰的融化,一些古老的病毒和细菌可能正在苏醒。
【答案详析】
1.D 细节理解题。由第二段的前两句“However, icebergs aren’t the only things released by melting glaciers. The glaciers also hold very old viruses and bacteria.”可知,冰山并不是冰川融化释放的唯一物质,冰川上也有非常古老的病毒和细菌。文章没有提及在释放的物质中有土壤,故选D。
2.B 细节理解题。由第五段第二句“As yet the viruses found in the Tibetan glacier don’t seem to be a threat to people.”可知,在西藏冰川发现的病毒似乎对人类没有威胁。
3.A 词义猜测题。由画线词的下一句“This is mainly made of soil that normally stays frozen all year round.”可推断出,画线单词的意思是“永久冻土”。
4.C 推理判断题。由倒数第二段的内容可推出,大多数专家并没有警告人们世界上某些地方融化的冰可能是危险的。故C项表述错误。
5.D 主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是由于地球变暖,冰川开始融化,这导致其里面包含的古老病毒和细菌也被释放了出来。故D项最适合作题目。
