Recently, areas of permafrost are thawing(解冻)as the world has warmed, and uncovering secrets long buried and frozen.Dogor came out of the ground covered with mud and ice, but scientists carefully cleaned him. His head, including his nose, hair, eyelashes
25、, and a mouth full of young teeth, is still very much like it was when he died. Scientists from Sweden have tested him carefully. Their tests showed that the puppy lived 18,000 years ago, that it was a male, and that it was about two months old when it died.But even though the scientists ran two DNA
26、 tests to discover whether Dogor was a dog or a wolf, they didnt get what they wanted. The scientists say that normally its fairly “easy to tell the difference”. They now plan on doing a third DNA test. In any case, the results will teach scientists a lot about the history of dogs and when they bega

But with overpopulation, climate change and increasing water shortage, innovators have been on the lookout for a ne
32、w solution and some are convinced the answer is up in the air.SOURCE Global is one of the many companies around the world extracting(提取) water from the air, with the hope of helping unwatered communities. However, its technology has a sustainable change. Its devices, named Hydropanels, are powered b
33、y built-in solar panels.“Youre able to harvest water from the air using solar power and nothing else, no need for electricity, no need for a grid, no need for infrastructure its perfectly self-sufficient,” explains Vahid Fotuhi, the companys vice president.Atmospheric water generators (AWGs), like S
34、OURCEs, are machines that produce drinkable water from surrounding air. These devices have been around for about a decade and traditionally theyre based on condensation cooling water vapor to collect water. This process, however, can consume a lot of electricity and many of these early technologies
35、only work in places with high air humidity(湿气). These limits are what urged SOURCE to develop a more flexible and sustainable solution.Its solar panels power a fan that draws in air. Inside the device, the air travels through a sponge-like(海绵样的) material that traps the water vapor. SOURCE has fixed
36、its Hydropanels around the world at hospitals, schools and work sites that have difficulty accessing water. It has also attracted commercial clients particularly in countries catering to tourists in isolated landscapes, such as the desert.According to Keith Hays, vice president of Bluefield Research
37、, SOURCEs design is different from other AWGs because it combines solar-based power supply and water capture mechanism within the same structure, enabling off-network operation. “Other systems usually have a separate panel or connect to the network,” he explains.32.What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
38、A. The pollution of drinking water.B. The shortage of drinking water. C. The solutions to drinkable water shortage. D. The potential markets of drinkable water.33. Why is SOURCE looking for new solutions?A. AWGs designs are too traditional.B. AWGs process is no longer satisfactory.C. AWGs equipment
39、has been used too long.D. AWGs fail to work in areas with high air humidity.34. What might be a more pleasing result of SOURCEs design?A. It can provide schools with free water.B. Water is available in remote desert areas.C. Water in hospitals has become cleaner.D. It can promote local tourism.35. W
40、hat is Keith Hays attitude to the design of SOURCE?A.Conservative.B. Critical. C. Approving.

One of the biggest problems facing the creatures are boats. _38_ Manatees are curious and fairly slow, which has led to thousands of manatees being injured or killed. _3
43、9_At one point, there were only about 2, 000 manatees left in Florida. But by 2016, there were roughly 8,800 manatees. But now manatees are facing a new challenge: they cant get enough to eat. Many of the beds of sea grass that manatees depend upon have been killed by human-caused pollution. Sea gra

Together, theyd make her Sweet Sixteen a hundred times bigger, bolder, and brighter than it needed to be. They selected a theme every year and stuck to it.

Helena walked in. “What is my birthday theme this year, mum?” Mya asked. “Labor!” Helena answered in a firm voice. “But
71、 I was expecting a party!” her voice sounded shaky. Oh, how could she forget she was born on Labors Day! Myas feet brought her small steps to follow Helena to the van. On arriving at a farm, she noticed the vast land of wheat spreading over the horizon that made a splendid view itself. Their job was
72、 to remove the weeds.With everything done, her face shone with a sweet smile. Several drops of sweat traced a path on her red and pink cheeks and she turned to Helena: “this is not bad, mum and I feel Ive grown up enough to help you with something.” Helena pulled Mya into her arms and planted a big
73、kiss on her forehead. The sun in May was shining brighter than ever like a fire ball.

Mya opened
74、her bedroom door and surprisingly found they looked the same! Looking at Myas surprised face, Helena grinned and led her to the kitchen. There was no meal on the table. “Lets prepare for the party together this time.” Aunt Beatrice said gladly dressed in the same outfit. It suddenly occurred to Mya
75、that the theme this year was supposed to be “Sweet Labor, Sweet Sixteen”.With everything done, her face shone with a sweet smile. Looking around the living room, Mya felt the happiness brought by labor the first time. “Happy Birthday!” Mya turned around in surprise. All of her friends jumped out of any hiding spots with everyone wearing the same outfit. They enjoyed the party and cleaned up together afterwards. Tired as Mya was, she pulled Helena and Beatrice into a hug tightly, saying “this is the best sweet sixteen ever.”
