20、 places around the world, you can find bright green balls of moss ( 苔藓 ) scattered across glaciers, which, surprisingly, move all at about the same speeds and in the same directions.The glacier moss balls are commonly called “glacier mice”, and were the subject of a recent study published online in
21、Polar Biology this month. The studys authors believe that they develop from impurities ( 杂质 ) on ice surfaces. “Theyre not attached ( 黏附 ) to anything and theyre just resting there on ice,” said one of the authors. “Theyre bright green in a world of white.”The moss balls dont stay at rest for long,
22、though. They moved about 2.5 centimeters per day on average. Another one of the studys authors pointed out that movement is a necessity for the glacier moss balls because the entire surface of the ball must occasionally get exposed to the sun. “These things must actually roll around or else that mos
23、s on the bottom would die,” she said.Glacier mice have ever been spotted in Alaska, Iceland, Svalbard and South America, but scientists still have a lot to learn about them.One of the biggest questions is why the moss balls, which can live for at least six years, move the way they do. The researcher
24、s tried to explain this strange phenomenon in many ways.First, they thought the balls had rolled downhill, but later found that they werent going down a slope ( 斜坡 ). Then, they thought the wind was blowing them in consistent directions. But when they measured the dominant direction of the wind, tha
25、t didnt explain it either. And finally, they considered the sun, which melts the ice and may make the moss balls move, but the direction of incoming solar radiation wasnt in the direction which the balls were going in. Still confused with this problem, the researchers said that they hope that one da
26、y, future generations will “get to the bottom of these great mysteries”.24.What interests the researchers most?A.The discovery of glacier mice.B.The development of impurities.C.The distribution of glacier moss.D.The movement of glacier moss balls.25.Which of the following is TRUE about Glacier mice?
27、A.They can move fast.B.They are attached to ice.C.They move so as to keep alive.D.They move from other places to glaciers.26.How does the author explain the unusual way the glacier mice move?A.By drawing maps and making analysis.B.By making assumptions and doing research.C.By doing experiments and p
28、resenting reports.D.By making comparison and setting down general rules27.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Wind blows Glacier mice to move.B.The direction of sunlight helps Glacier mice.C.Scientists leave these mysteries to future generations.D.It remains a puzzle why the glacier moss bal

They then treated the mix with sound wa

Whats more, the pineapple gel also acted as a sound barrier; in another test, the gel did a better job of preventing noise from getting in or out than Basmel, a popular kind of sou
