4、 penguin species will be badly affected if the warming of the Antarctic Peninsula continues. Experts say that a big part of the problem is related to food：Less ice means less krill(磷虾), a cornerstone(基石) of the Antarctic ecosystem and a mainstay of a penguins diet.“When you look at all penguins they

According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN), both emperor penguins and Adelies are considered “near threatened”. Even populations of chinstraps, not usually cons
7、idered a vulnerable(易危的) species, have “declined by up to 50 percent in the last 30 years”， Hart said. “The general public doesnt realize that penguin populations are declining so fast.”In an interview with the BBC in 2009, Professor Hart warned that emperor penguins could face nearextinction by the
8、 end of the century if global warming continued at its present rate.“Regardless of their environmental preferences, we see a connection between climate change and penguin populations through the loss of habitat of their main food source，” Dr. Wayne Trivelpiece, the reports lead author said. “As warm
9、ing continues, the loss of krill will have a farreaching effect throughout the Antarctic ecosystem.”Since krill feed on phytoplankton(浮游植物) that grow under ice cover, warming waters and disappearing sea ice have contributed to decreasing Antarctic krill populations. According to Al Jazeera, other re
10、cent studies have shown that krill in the Southern Ocean may have declined by about 80 percent since the 1970s.“Simply put, without krill, most of the life forms in the Antarctic would disappear，” National Geographic said.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。南极洲的冰层因气候变暖持续融化，这已严重影响到企鹅的生存。1What problem will penguins face?A

The only explanation is that Viking ships transported the perishable(易腐烂的) cod therea journey of 2，000 kilometres that would have taken a month.This suggests the Vikings
19、had worked out how to freezedry fish. Arctic cod populations only come close to the Norwegian shore in winter, and in Viking times that would have made them easier to catch. The cold weather in winter would have made it simple to freezedry the fish naturally.In other words, centuries earlier than th

While Swiss cheese does have a distinct color and taste, it has another unique quality. Its known for more than anything else: holes.Why Swiss cheese has h
39、oles was a mystery for many years. In 1912, a chemist named William Clark set forth his theory. According to Clark, the particular methods and bacteria cultures make gas bubbles inside the cheese. Eventually these gas bubbles leave holes in the cheese, which cheesemakers call “eyes”. However, in the
40、 1990s, scientists began to doubt Clarks theory. Cheesemakers noticed that in Europe their cheeses were going blindthey began to contain fewer and fewer holes or “eyes”. Since the cheese making process had not changed, something else had to account for the missing holes.Later, Swiss researchers anno
41、unced that they had the answer: hay(干草). The carbon dioxide gas bubbles in Swiss cheese must form around some sort of particles(颗粒), similar to the way in which raindrops form around dust in the air. The particles in question were tiny bits of hay that could be found in milk buckets.So what happened
42、 in the early 1990s? European dairies were forced to modernize to meet the new European Union standards. Traditional buckets and barns(牲口棚) were replaced with modern milking machines. As the presence of hay particles in milk decreased greatly, so did the holes in Swiss cheese.Swiss researchers confi
43、rmed that the more hay particles they added to milk, the more holes would appear in the Swiss cheese. Cheesemakers are now able to use the information to add particles to their milk to produce Swiss cheese with exactly the number and type of holes they want.Of course, not all the mysteries have been
44、 solved. For example, cheesemakers in the United States have not observed their cheeses going “blind” like those in Europe. Scientists believe there must be other unknown particles that account for the “eyes” in American Swiss cheese.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。瑞士奶酪的显著特征是它有“眼睛”，关于这种“眼睛”产生的原因，有不同的说法。4Why did scie

An hour later, we reached the park. The scenery there was breathtaking. We were free to walk around and enjoy the amazing scenery for a few hours. After lunch, we were divided into groups, playing games, singing and dancing. At around 4 pm., we started to head back, tired but happy.This activity not only offered us a chance to get close to nature, but also brought us closer to each other.
