California, USA, saw heavy rainfall in the first week of March which caused floods. Surprisingly, the state is known for its long droughts. Atmospheric (大气层的) rivers often cause California's heaviest rain, snow, and flooding. Now, we have seen rivers flowing through different places, but what are atmospheric rivers Let's find out.
Atmospheric rivers form over warm oceans. As the sun warms the ocean, water changes into vapor (蒸气)and rises into the air, creating atmospheric rivers. Now, these atmospheric rivers carry the water vapour from the ocean to the land, where it cools down to bring rain and snow.
Atmospheric rivers can generally be of different shapes and sizes. But the big ones containing the highest water vapor concentrations (含量) can cause heavy rainfall and floods. One of the most powerful atmospheric rivers originates (始发) in the Pacific Ocean and flows into California.
Atmospheric rivers play an important role on our planet. They often bring beneficial rain or snow, which is important to the global water cycle. Atmospheric rivers account for more than half of rainfall in coastal regions in North America, France, Spain, South America, Southeast Asia, etc. They are important for agriculture and the survival of plant and animal life.
At times, however, atmospheric rivers can cause severe floods. This happens when climate change affects the timing and distribution(分布) of atmospheric rivers. As global temperature rises, the moisture (水分) content in the air increases, leading to a rise in atmospheric rivers. These changes may cause problems in areas that are not used to severe rain. Heavy rains can flood houses and roads, causing various problems.
All in all, we need further study on atmospheric rivers. And we must all try to lessen the effects of climate change so that our planet stays healthy for years.

With the summer season setting in, temperatures are rising quickly across India. It is having a great influence on not only humans but also various birds, reptiles, etc.
Animals can also fall sick due to the heat. They face problems finding water as natural water sources dry up. Elephants require large amounts of fresh water for their well-being. During summer, they might not get enough water, which can affect them. Snakes and other reptiles may seek shelter inside someone's home to survive the heat. This can cause safety risks for people.
Thankfully, the Nandankanan Zoological Park (NZP)in Odisha has thought up ways to protect its animals from the scorching(酷热的) heat. NZP is providing relief(缓解) for the animals during the summer heat. The staff has been asked to monitor the animals and report any behavioral changes to the zoo hospital. The animals are being provided with air coolers, water sprinklers, and a running water pool according to their needs. Their enclosures (围场) are also covered with bamboo sheds to give them shade, and they are also being given lots of drinking water. The zoo animals are being fed high-water content foods like watermelon, sugar cane, cucumber, etc. , along with their regular diets to make them stay hydrated.
____
●You can keep a bowl of water and some food outside your house for the street dogs and cats. Keep your pets indoors during the hottest part of the day to avoid heatstroke(中暑) and provide them with enough drinking water.
●Stray (离群的) animals tend to sleep under the shade of cars during the summer, so make sure you ask your parents to check whether there are animals underneath before they start their vehicle.

Heavy rains and deadly floods have hit Kenyasince March. They are among the most disastrous(灾难性) rainstorms to hit the East African country in recent years.
At least 169 people have died due to the heavy rains with at least 91 missing. The rain has displaced more than 190, 000people and damaged roads and other buildings.
Seasonal weather patterns, human-caused climate change as well as natural weather phenomena (现象)create deadly rainstorms.
Kenya and some other parts of eastern Africa have two main rainfall periods: the" long rains" season of March to May, and the "short rains" season of October to December.
The "long rains" season is when most of the country's average annual rainfall happens. In its forecast for this year's" long rains" season, the KenyaMeteorological Department (气象局) predicted above-average rainfall in many parts of the country. It also warned of floods, landslides (滑坡) and other harmful effects. Last year's" short rains" season saw severe storms in many parts of the country.
The Indian Ocean Dipole (偶极子) is a natural climate system which makes the surface of the westernIndian Ocean warmer and then colder than that of the eastern Indian Ocean. It causes heavy rainfall in areas west of the Indian Ocean, such as Kenya, and droughts in Indonesia and Australia.
It has become more difficult to predict long-term weather in Kenya in recent years, as the start and the length of dry and wet seasons increasingly change. The Kenya Meteorological Department expected the" long rains" season to continue into June. In its latest weather forecast on Monday, the department said it expected heavy rain in six areas of the country as well as flooding in low-lying areas and landslides in steep slopes(陡坡).
29．In what way does the writer prove1that floods hitting Kenya were disastrous

C．The long-term weather prediction in Kenya.
D．The change of dry and wet seasons in Kenya.
According to the United Nations, enough plastic waste to fill 2, 000 garbage trucks is dumped into waterways such as oceans, rivers, and lakes each day. There's plastic litter at the bottom of the ocean and on top of Mount Qomolangma.
Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place: on the backs of hermit crabs(寄居蟹). According to a study published in February, hermit crabs are using plastic litter as shells.
Zuzann a Jagiello is a biologist at the University of Warsaw, in Poland. She's the study's lead author. Jagiello said, "For me, a hermit crab in a plastic shell could be an icon(图标) of our times. They don't have homes, so they use rubbish. " Human activity has had a major impact on the environment. Hermit crabs using plastic waste as shells is one example of that impact.
Hermit crabs are small, soft-bodied crabs that live near oceans. To protect themselves from predators (捕食者), the crabs typically wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea snails (海螺). But according to February's study, at least 386 hermit crabs have been documented wearing garbage. Of the world's 16 species of hermit crabs that live on land, 10 have been seen wearing trash. Nearly nine out of every 10 of those crabs were wearing plastic waste, such as bottle caps.
Jagiello says that she and her team first learned about hermit crabs wearing garbage when they noticed photos of them posted online. They decided to learn more by conducting research.
For their study, the researchers scanned the Internet for photos of hermit crabs wearing trash. They found photos from all over the world. Some had been taken by scientists. Some had been taken by nature photographers. Many had been taken by people who were just curious.
Why are hermit crabs choosing litter instead of snail shells Scientists have theories (推测). Some sea snail populations are declining. Hermit crabs could be turning to litter because they can't find enough seashells. It's also possible that crabs are opting (选择) for plastic because it's light and easy to carry, or they' re drawn to its flashy colors.
Scientists agree that plastic pollution harms wildlife and habitats(栖息地) in many ways. But it isn't clear that the crabs are in any danger.
33．What's the purpose of writing the first paragraph
A．To describe water pollution.
B．To tell us that plastic is everywhere.
C．To stress plastic waste is harmful to us.
D．To lead us to think about the topic of the text.
34．What does the underlined word "impact" mean in the passage
A．适应 B．救助 C．影响 D．逃避
35．What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us
A．Hermit crabs find their new homes.
B．Hermit crabs have a small, soft body.
C．Hermit crabs usually wear seashells.
D．Hermit crabs can protect themselves.
36．What's the best title for the passage
A．Plastic pollution in deep oceans
B．Tips for protecting hermit crabs
C．Creative crabs wearing garbage
D．Our impact on the environment
The environmental improvement has happened to Baiyangdian Lake in Hebei Province since the plan to establish Xiong' an New Area was announced in April 2017.
The quality of water in the northern China's largest freshwater lake was below Grade V in the country's five-tier quality system for surface water in2017, according to the department of eco logy and environment in Xiong' an.
Thanks to a series of measures that have been taken, the quality of water in the lake reached Grade III in2021, and has stayed at that level in the past two years. Water with a quality of Grade III is good enough for most aquatic creatures to survive. The lake now has 276 species of wild birds, 70 more than in 2016, and 48 species of wild fish, 21 more than in 2016.
Feng Erwei, from Xidi Village near Baiyangdian, has been captaining a passenger boat on the lake for over 20 years. The 42-year-old is keenly aware of the environmental improvement in the water body.
He recalls when he was a young boy, people drank water directly from Baiyangdian. Diving into the lake with his friends, he said he could keep his eyes open underwater and see all the fish and shrimps swimming around.
The health of Baiyangdian began to sour in parts during the previous century as China quickly industrialized (工业化). In some parts of the lake, it became so polluted that even the locals would go out of their way to avoid it. "The terrible smell from the lake forced people who lived near it to keep their windows closed, and nobody swam in it any longer, " he said.
Now, as water quality improves, Feng says the Baiyangdian of his childhood is coming back.

In 2024, World Environment Day fell on Wednesday, June 5. Unlike some other events, which occur on a different date each year, this global event is easy to plan for. Here are some activities to help students understand the importance of caring for the environment and learn small steps to preserve it.
You may already have a school veggie patch; if not, this is your sign to start one! Teach your students to become little green thumbs ____ where they can plant and care for native plants, vegetables, and herbs.
Almost 60% of all species live in soil, and it is estimated that 95% of our food is directly or indirectly produced on soil. Soil is more than just the dirt under our feet. It's important to teach our future generations how to protect it.
Why not ask your class to clean up litter around the school Whether an individual challenge or per class, this is a great way to teach students not to litter the environment with harmful plastics. The student who has collected the most rubbish can be rewarded with a fun gift.
One way to start your climate action is to create a pledge (承诺) wall where students can write their promises and names on a piece of paper and pop it on the wall. Keep it up in the classroom all year round and reflect on whether you've fulfilled the actions at the end of the year.

Chinese scientists have successfully developed a special national flag. The basalt(玄武岩) fiber flag was unfurled (展开) by the lander of theChang'e-6 lunar probe (月球探测器). The five-star red flag caught the eye of people around the world when it became the first national flag to fly on the far side of the moon.
The basalt fiber was developed by Wuhan Textile University and China Space Sanjiang Group Co. Xu Weilin, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said his team overcame a number of hurdles over the past four years, including difficulty weaving the fibers and ensuring that the colors won't fade, in order to develop the high-quality" stone version" fabric national flag.
The flag that Chang'e-6 unfurled on the moon is the same size as the one planted during the Chang'e-5mission on the near side of the moon—30cm by 20cm, which is about the same size as a sheet of A4 paper. But the density (密度) of the basal t fibers used in theChang'e-6 flag is nearly twice that of the Chang'e-5 flag, which makes it reasonable to think that the basalt fiber flag is heavier. However, Xu's team developed the basalt fibers with a diameter about one-third that of human hair, so the Chang'e-6 flag weighs just 11. 3 grams, which is 0. 5gram lighter than the Chang'e-5 flag.
As a lightweight and flexible (柔韧的) protective material, basalt fibers will be used increasingly for spacesuits, spacecraft and lunar bases. Basalt fibers cost 25, 000 yuan per ton, which is much lower than quartz(石英) fibers and carbon fibers.
Typical firefighting suits and lifesaving rope are usually made of organic (有机的) materials, and they will burn at a high temperature of 550 ℃. However, the melting point of basal t fiber clothing is 1, 600℃, so it can be used for a short time at a high temperature of 1, 200℃, and for a long time at 800℃.
According to the scientists, firefighting suits, fire blankets and related products made from basalt fibers will be gradually produced in the years ahead.
45．The special national flag is made of ____
A．basalt fibers B．carbon fibers
C．quartz fibers D．organic materials
46．The underlined word "hurdles "in the passage can be replaced by"____".
A．programs B．experiences C．challenges D．experiments
47．How does the writer develop Paragraph 3
A．By making a short report.
B．By comparing the facts.
C．By giving some examples.
D．By following the order of time.
48．What do the last three paragraphs mainly tell us
A．The basal t fiber has a promising market.
B．The basal t fiber needs to be further studied.
C．The basal t fiber can be available at a low price.
D．The basalt fiber is a special protective material.
Astronomers (天文学家) have discovered a "super-Earth", or a world larger than our planet, orbiting a star about 137 light years away. The planet, known as TOI-715b, orbits a red dwarf star(矮星) that is smaller and cooler than our sun, and a second planet could also be orbiting it.
Astronomers say the planet is around one and a half times as wide as our earth. The newly discovered planet is said to be close enough to its star to be in the habitable (宜居的) zone. The second planet may be slightly (稍微) larger than the earth and inside the same zone. The habitable zone is said to be the distance a planet has from a star at which the planet's temperature allows liquid water to exist on its surface.
Georgina Dransfield of the University of Birmingham, the United Kingdom, led the team behind the discovery. The team published a paper on their discovery in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Still, further research on the planets will be done.
Astronomers discovered the planet using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet (外行星) Survey Satellite (TESS). Since it launched in 2018, TESS has helped astronomers discover exoplanets or worlds outside our solar system. TESS detects and helps in studying asteroids, stars, and other distant galaxies.
With the earth's resources slowly getting extinguished(枯竭的), scientists have been working to discover a habitable home like our earth which humans can move to in the future. This will be done to avoid the extinction(灭绝) of the human race in case the earth becomes. uninhabitable.
However, we now don't have the required technology to move to different planets, and it will be many years before such technology can be developed. But you don't need to worry. The earth still has enough resources to last thousands of years. Still, we must try to save our planet so humans and the earth don't suffer.
49．What does the underlined word" it "in the passage refer to
A．The sun in the Milky Way.
B．The red dwarf star in space.
C．Our own earth circling the sun.
D．A super-Earth about 137 light years away.
50．What can we learn from the second paragraph
A．Two planets are both suitable for people to live on.
B．The planet TOI-715b is just as large as our earth.
C．Our earth is much smaller than the second planet.
D．There is no water on the planet in the habitable zone.
51．What's the fifth paragraph mainly about
A．How the earth's resources change slowly.
B．Why scientists are searching for another earth.
C．Whether the earth will become uninhabitable or not.
D．What should be done to avoid the extinction of the human race.

A chef planned to team up with a Florida-based space company to take fine-dining food to our upper atmosphere(大气) in late 2025.
Six guests are set to travel aboard Spaceship Neptune(海王星) to the stratosphere (平流层), where they will enjoy an immersive(沉浸式的) dining experience served up by Danish Michelin-starred chef Rasmus Munk.
Munk, 33, will travel with the guests and serve the meal himself, from a small kitchen. "We want to tell stories through the food, " Munk says. "I think that will make an even stronger impact when you're up there and looking down. "
Spaceship Neptune is more of a balloon than a rocket. The company says it will rise to around 30, 480 meters above sea level where the guests will dine while watching the sun rise over the earth.
Organizers say the trip, which costs $495, 000 per ticket, will last six hours. The flight won't technically reach" space" — Spaceship Neptune will rise to around30 kilometers, while the border between the earth's atmosphere and outer space is some 100 kilometers from the earth.
Munk's menu is expected to be very different from the meals eaten by past and present astronauts. The first man in space, Yuri Gagarin, squeezed(挤) beef and liver paste into his mouth from an aluminum tube. To save on weight, astronauts on the International Space Station usually dine on dishes packaged in containers that can be rehydrated (再水化). Though Munk is mysterious about his menu, he says he's planning to include glow-in-dark stars made from jellyfish protein(蛋白质). "We are also working on an edible (可食用的) piece of space junk from a satellite, " he said.
Last year Munk's restaurant was ranked the fifth best restaurant in the world. His space plan will attract more people to visit his restaurant in Copenhagen, the Danish capital.
53．What is Munk going to do in late2025
A．To build a small kitchen in space.
B．To tell stories in Spaceship Neptune.
C．To watch the sun rise over the earth every day.
D．To provide food for the guests in the upper atmosphere.
54．How much will six guests pay for their trip in all
A．$30, 480. B．$495, 000.
C．$1, 485, 000. D．$2, 970, 000.
55．What's the sixth paragraph mainly about
