Chinook salmon and their habitats in Seattle's
Thornton Creek suffered severely due to urban expansion,
causing flash floods and biodiversity loss.Despite
restoration efforts,the once -abundant salmon all but
disappeared.During a conference,biologist Katherine
Chinook salmon
Lynch proposed rebuilding the creek's missing "liver"
damaged by urbanization.
Lynch has been studying the hyporheic zone,.a layer of wet sediment(沉积物),small
stones and tiny creatures beneath the streambed.It facilitates water mixing and oxygen
delivery to salmon eggs,earning the nickname"liver of the river."The disappearance of
this zone threatens the health of waterways.Lynch recognized that,however,most
restoration efforts in Seattle overlooked it or disconnected it from the surface water.
Teamed with engineer Mike Hrachovec,Lynch redesigned Thornton Creek.They
第5页共12页
strategically put logs into the water at precise angles to create tiny waterfalls and nearly
still water pockets,generating hydraulic pressure to force water down into the hyporheic
zone.These accurately placed logs and rocks,known as "hyporheic structures,"also
create pockets of slow water that provide safe shelters for juvenile fish-all meant to
emulate features of a natural stream.Subsequent data analysis confirmed the stream
functioned as Lynch's team-and nature-intended.
But was the stream also supporting life?Given that the stone and sand positioned
were sterile (territory,Lynch thought that a biological jumpstart might be
necessary and that the return of life to restored creeks relied on organisms migrating from
healthy upstream habitats.So her team tried another ground-breaking move:inoculating
(接种)the engincered hyporheic zone with microbes(微生物),which quickly populated
the areas.But even though the number of individuals was high,the biodiversity was
relatively low.A 2021 study by stream ccologist Sarah Morley noted that while a few of
the new species grew rapidly,most were similar to those in unrestored section.Scientists
are exploring reasons for the limited survival of introduced species,and because this
science is so new,they have not ruled out any potential explanations:differences in the
donor stream,size of the restored area,or poor water quality.They might have inoculated
the hyporheic too soon,before essential vegetation could establish.
The Thornton Creek restorations have successfully prevented neighbourhood
flooding,even during heavy storms,and stabilized the stream's flow.Most notably,
Chinook salmon returned to lay eggs in the restored hyporheic zones,touching Lynch
deeply.She recalls,"this success suggests that small urban creek restorations can
revitalize functioning ecosystems."
42.What does the underlined word "emulate"in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Record.
B.Copy.
C.Monitor.
D.Transform
43.What can be inferred about the microbial inoculation in Thornton Creek?
A.It introduced essential vegetation.
B.It restored the original biodiversity.
C.It increased the total quantity of microbes.
D.It sourced microbes from downstream habitats.
44.What can we learn from Lynch's restoration project?
A.It focused on increasing water oxygen levels.
B.It recreated the conditions of the donor stream
C.It removed human-made structures from the creek.
D.It combined physical redesign with bio-intervention.
45.Which would be the best title for this passage?
A.To Revive a River,Restore Its Liver
B.Urbanization:A Silent Killer of a River
C.Chinook Salmon Boost the Diversity of Ecosystems
D.What Makes the Hyporheic Zone Vital for Restoration?

Humans have long tried to conquer water.We've straightened once-winding rivers
for shipping purposes.We've constructed levees (along rivers and lakes to
protect people from flooding.We've erected entire cities on drained and filled-in wetlands.
We've built dams on rivers to store water for later use.
50 But it's not,argues environmental journalist Erica Gies,author of Water
Always Wins.Levees,which narrow channels causing water to flow higher and faster,
nearly always break.Cites on former wetlands flood regularly-often disastrously.Dams
starve downstream areas of sediment (needed to protect coasts against rising seas.
Straightened streams move faster than winding ones,giving water less time to flow
downward.And they wash away riverbed ecosystems.
In addition to laying out this damage done by supposed water control,Gies takes
readers on a hopeful global tour of solutions to these problems.Along the way,she
introduces "water detectives"-scientists,engineers,urban planners,and many others.
51
These water detectives have found ways to give the slippery substance the time and
space it needs to flow slowly underground.Around Seattle's Thornton Creek,for instance,
reclaimed land now allows for regular flooding,which has renewed riverbed habitat and
created an urban oasis.In California's Central Valley,scientists want to find ways to move
unpolluted storm water into subsurface valleys that make ideal aquifers ()52
While some people are exploring new ways to manage water,others are leaning on
ancient knowledge.Researchers in Peru are now studying old-style methods of water
storage,which don't require dams,in hopes of ensuring a steady flow of water to Lima-
Peru's populous capital that's periodically affected by water shortage.53 "Decision
makers come from a culture of concrete,"Gies writes,"in which dams,pipes and
desalination factories are standard."
Understanding how to work with,not against,water will help humankind weather
this age of drought and flood that's being worsened by climate change.Instead,
we must learn to live within our water means because water will undoubtedly win.

A.Controlling water,Gies convincingly argues,is a false belief.
B.Instead of trying to control water,they ask:What does water want?
C.It seems that water is cooperative and willing to flow where we direct it.
D.These old-style underwater concrete techniques pave the way for the construction of
dams.
E.To further understand the whole ecosystem,they believe effective water control
requires effort.
F The study may help convince those who favor concrete-certric solutions to try
something new.
G.Feeding groundwater supplies will in turn sustain rivers from below,which helps to
maintain water levels and ecosystems.

题5分,共12分)阅读下面短文,根据题目要求回答问题。
Self-esteem is how we judge our own worth,including beliefs like "I'm lovable"and
feelings of pride or self-doubt.When we internalize the belief that we deserve happiness
and success,we tend to pursue fulfillment with courage;conversely,doubting our worth
can lead us to shrink from opportunities or undermine our own progress.This inner sense
of value begins to take shape in childhood and evolves throughout our lives,molded by
every interaction,experience,and relationship we encounter.
The foundation of self-esteem is largely laid in childhood,where early experiences
with family,peers,and mentors play an important role.Children who are praised for their
efforts(not just achievements),treated with respect,and shown consistent affection often
develop a secure sense of self-worth.Positive feedback from teachers or excelling in
hobbies can reinforce the belief that they are capable and deserving of love,regardless of
specific accomplishments.In contrast,individuals with low self-esteem often faced
criticism,neglect,or emotional abuse in childhood,leading them to believe they must be
perfect to earn validation.Being mocked for mistakes or bullied by peers further ingrains
the idea that their worth depends on external approval,prompting adults to overachieve,
pretend to be someone else,or fear failure.Childhood experiences,whether supportive or
neglectful,determine whether adults develop secure self-worth or rely on others'approval.
Thus,they are very important in a person's self-esteem.
Self-esteem profoundly influences daily life in countless ways.Those with high self
esteem tend to build healthier relationships,as they feel secure enough to ask for help and
set boundaries.They pursue goals with confidence,viewing challenges as a learning
curve rather than a reflection of their value,and accept both flaws and strengths as part
of their identity.Conversely,low self-esteem can lead to self-blame and avoid challenges
out of fear of not being good enough.
Nurturing self-esteem is essential for overall well-being,even for those with difficult
childhoods.Start by examining your self-talk:notice when you criticize or doubt yourself,
and replace those thoughts with compassion.Practices like journaling,positive self
encouragement,or seeking support from others can help rewrite negative narratives.
