I.阅读理解
Over a hundred years ago in 1911,
something strange was found in the glac-
iers of Antarctica.Crilffith Taylor-an
Australian geologist,had discovered a
blood red stream pouring out of the ice
cascades(瀑布)of Talor Glacier.Popu-
larly known as the Blood Falls,scientists
had not been able to find the reason be-
hind the blood red liquid flowing through
the ice until recently.The mystery of the
Blood Falls had finally been solved.
方法总结
When these falls were first discov-
ered,scientists had believed that the red
colour came from a large amount of red
algae(海藻)concentrated in the water..
Red algae contain a pigment(色素)which re-
flects red light,making the algae appear red.
This theory made sense,until it was
later found that algae do not play a part in
the red colour of the flowing liquid at all.
What really causes Talor Glacier's water
to appear blood red is the presence of iron
oxide in the liquid.The waters of the
Blood Falls are rich in salt and iron con-
tent,and when this water comes in con-
tact with the air,it turns red-just like
rust!The water in these falls is often re-
ferred to as“brine”by scientists because
of the high salt content in the water.

ng About Language
This reasoning behind the red colour
of the falls was found back in 2003.
However,the entire mystery had not yet
been solved.How is it then,that the Blood
Falls are not frozen?
Researchers at the University of Col-
orado and University of Alaska found that
inside the glacier,there is a network of
channels and reservoirs that moves the
water around.Salt water has a lower
freezing temperature.In addition,when
any substance undergoes a change in
state,it gives off heat.Therefore,the
brine actually warms itself up while it's
freezing!How this works is that when
the brine is flowing through the Talor
Glacier,some of it does freeze.As a re-
sult of changing state from liquid to ice,
the brine gives off heat.This heat is
enough to keep the rest of the brine in liq-
uid form,which is why it flows out of the
glacier.
Incredible new chemistry facts found,
and mystery solved!
1.According to the text,the red algae
theory was once considered
A.ridiculous
B.reasonable
C.impractical
D.complex
2.Why does the Blood Falls look red in
colour?
A.There is too much salt and iron in
its water.
B.Its liquid is rich in red algae.
UNIT 3 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
C.The flowing liquid reflects red sun-
light.
D.The air is thin and rare in Antarctica.
3.What is the main reason for the Blood
Falls'not freezing?
A.The water continued flowing con-
stantly.
B.There is too much salt in the water.
C.The brine gives off heat while freezing.
D.Temperatures aren't high enough
for flowing water.
4.What is the passage mainly about?

B.The birth of the Talor Glacier.
C.The flowing red water in Antarctica.
D.The mystery of the Blood Falls.

Solutions to Climate Change
There are personal lifestyle changes
that you can make and that,to some ex-
tent,can help reduce your carbon impact.
Not all are right for everybody.But ap-
plying just a few of them could make a
difference.
Move closer to work.
Transportation is one of the leading
sources of greenhouse gas emissions.1
One way to dramatically cut transporta-
tion fuel needs is to move closer to work,
use mass transportation,or switch to
walking,cycling or some other modes of
transport that does not require anything
other than human energy.
Consume less.

mobile or employing a reusable grocery

around the globe.

A potentially simpler and even bigger
effect can be produced by doing more
with less.Citizens of many developed
countries are energy-wasters,whether by
speeding in a gas-wasting vehicle or leav-
ing the lights on when not in a room.
Similarly,employing more efficient refrig
erators,air conditioners and other appli-
ances can cut electricity bills.4 You
can turn the lights or your computers off
when you leave the office.
Stop cutting down trees.

I.[语篇解读]1911年,澳大利亚地质学家在南极洲的
冰川中发现了奇怪的景象一血瀑布。最近,血瀑布的秘
密终于被揭开了:瀑布的水中富含盐和铁,水接触空气时,
就会像铁锈一样变红;水中盐分很高,以至于瀑布不结冰。
l.B[推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“This theory made
sense,until it was later found that algae do not play a
part in the red colour of the flowing liquid at all.."可知,
这个理论曾被认为是有道理的,直到后来才发现海藻在
血瀑布中没有起作用。由此判断B项正确,make sense
有道理,讲得通。]
2.A[细节理解题。根据第三段的第三句可知,是因为富
含盐分和铁,瀑布的水接触空气时,就会像铁锈一样
变红。]
3.C[细节理解题。根据第五段最后两句可知,当液体结
冰时,盐水释放出热量。这种热量足以使其余的盐水保
持液态,这就是它不结冰的原因。]
4.D[主旨大意题。通读全文可知,1911年澳大利亚地质
学家在南极洲的冰川中发现了血瀑布。最近,血瀑布的
秘密终于被祸开了。D项“血瀑布之谜”能概括文章的内
容,体现文章的主旨。]
Ⅱ,[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些我
们在日常生活中可以采取的简单易行的环保措施。这些
措施看似微小,却会为应对气候变化贡就力量。
1.C[上一句提到交通运输是温室气体排放物的主要来
源之一。C项紧承上文,点明情况不一定非得那样,同时
引出了下一句介绍的能帮助我们减少这类温室气体排
放物的措施。]
2.F[该空对应的措施是减少消费。F项点明减少温室
气体排放物的最简单的方法是少购物,符合本段的
语境。]
3.A[该空是本段的小标题,本段主要建议我们有效利用
能源,尽可能减少对能源的浪费,用更少的能源做更多
的事,故用A项概括本段的主旨。]
4.D[上一句介绍了在生活中如何减少对能源的浪费,该
空后则介绍了在办公室里如何减少对能源的浪费。D项
恰好能用来承上启下。
5.E[上一句提到亚马孙雨林及其他森林不仅仅是地球
的肺。E项紧承上文,点出它们可能还是人类在短期内
控制气候变化的希望。]

喜的是,当地政府的环保努力有了回报,山脉生态在慢慢
恢复之中。
1.D[由上文“每年有大约四万人想攀爬乞力马扎罗山”
和下文“might damage the beauty of the place(或许会破
坏它的美)”可知,众多的登山者带来了(brig)许多
垃圾。]

面貌(face)。]
4.B[根据上文讲述的乞力马扎罗山的气候环境变化和
下文的其他旅游景,点总会被描述成更加纯净天然的体
验可知,此处表示听完这些故事,作者对乞力马扎罗山
的自然美丽持怀疑(skeptical)态度。]
5.A[根据句首However表转折可知,与前面想法不同,
作者不久之后发现了(discover)乞力马扎罗山改变了很多。]
6.C[自从关于乞力马扎罗山上成吨垃圾的报道后,情况
发生了很多变化。下文又接着讲述作者在营地外和道
路上看到了厕所,由此推知,上文中提到的报道指的是
以前的营地(camp)是坐落在垃圾堆中的,现在千净了
许多。]
7.D[本句提到作者在营地里和道路上看到了许多厕所,
与在报道中出现的垃圾堆中的营地裁然不同,干净、卫
生(clean)。]
8.C[前文提到了乞力马扎罗山的严峻的(significant)环
境问题,毁坏了它在人们心目中的形象。]

as‘purer'natural experiences'”可知,此空填experience,
表示攀登乞力马扎罗山的最佳体验并不在于到达
顶峰。]
10.A[本句用来解释上句内容,为什么很多山脉被许多
文化视为精神圣地,这种观,点(view)在乞力马扎罗山特

有宁静的乞力马扎罗山还能名副其实吗?]

发现任何植物一取而代之的是数万吨的塑料废物,它们
在这里堆积如山,形成了一种“珊瑚礁”。

tic have become one of the most shocking signs of human
damage to the planet.”可知,此处的it指的是上文提到

lution off Andros is thought to date back to 2011,when
heavy rain caused a waste site to collapse.Most of the
waste fell into the sea.”可知,污染的开始是垃圾场的
坍塌。

are wondering where their rubbish ends up,we see it
each time we go into the water”可知,垃圾最终进入
海里。]
