She would take part in various expeditions (探险), in the Egyptian desert first, then in th
17、e remote valleys of northeast of Afghanistan, and then in Antarctica. In 2001 her urge to explore began to develop with a trip to the Western Desert on the borders of Egypt, Libya and Sudan in search of prehistoric rock art.

18、 planet, an uninhabited (无人居住的) area the size of India.In 2004 Hannah joined a British expedition to explore the Wakhan Corridor in the northeast of Afghanistan in search of the source of the River Oxus.

Unfortunately, these gentle animals are in big trouble. Since 2011, manta rays have been listed as a threatened species worldwid
25、e.Peru, a country in South America, recently took a big step to protect giant manta rays: It banned fishing for them. Although 12 other countries have passed laws to protect rays, Perus may be the most important one yet. Thats because there are more manta rays in the Pacific Ocean near Peru than in
26、any other place in the world.Giant manta rays are unusual-looking creatures. The giant, flat rays are typically about 4.5 meters wide and can grow up to 8 meters wide! “Theyre sort of like giant flying carpets underwater,” says Joshua Stewart of the Manta Trust, an organization that researches manta
27、 rays.People catch rays for their meat. Overfishing is bad for any sea creature, but its even worse for manta rays. Female manta rays usually have only one baby, every two to five years. So every ray thats caught hurts the population in a big way. People who break Perus new law can be fined or have
28、their fishing licenses taken away. Even rays caught accidentally in fishing nets must be set free.Earlier this year, the Manta Trust attached video cameras, called Crittercams, to manta rays off the west coast of Mexico. The footage (连续镜头) the cameras collect could help researchers predict where ray
29、s swim and when. The scientists could use the information to warn fishing boats to avoid these areas, helping reduce the number of accidentally caught rays.Stewart says its important to protect these unique creatures. “Theres really no other animal that compares in size that you can have interaction

32、s new law?A. It makes no sense. B. It is hard to follow.C. It needs improvement. D. It is really essential. DIn 1845, a deadly disease struck the farms of Ireland, killing all the Lumper potato plants. In another place or time, the death of a single crop species might not have been so important. But
33、 in Ireland, in 1845, people depended almost on the potato for food. The death of one species caused a terrible famine. Now, some scientists are worried that such a famine could happen again.Over the centuries, farmers have discovered thousands of different species of food crops. Some can be grown i
34、n very hot or cold climates.Othersare not affected by certain diseases. However, you wont find many of these species in your local supermarket. To feed the seven billion people on Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants that are easy to produce in large numbers. Meanwhile, thous
35、ands of other species are becoming extinct.For example, in the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice; now fewer than 100 are grown there. Experts believe that over the past century, we have allowed more than half of the worlds food varieties to disappear.One solution to this pr
36、oblem is to collect and store the seeds (种子) of as many different plant varieties as we can before they disappear. The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist Nikolay Vavilov. In the 1920s and 30s, he collected around 400,000 seeds. More recently, others are continuing the work he began.In the
37、 U.S. state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect historic plant varieties. She started a place called Heritage Farm, where people can store and trade seeds.More importantly, the people at Heritage Farm dont just store the seeds; they plant them. By doing this, they are reintroducing foods int
38、o the marketplace that havent been grown for years. These food species are not just special in flavor. They also offer farmers food solutions for the future, from the past.32. What caused many people to die in Ireland in 1845?A. Lack of enough food. B. Poisonous potatoes.C. An uncurable disease. D.
39、Food pollution.33. What does the underlined word “Others” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Species of food crops. B. Potato plants.C. Farmers. D. Seeds.34. Why does the author mention the Philippines?A. To explain how to increase food production.B.To show many food species have disappeared C. To stress th
40、e importance of food diversity.D. To prove the necessity of growing rice.35. Which statement would Diane Ott Whealy probably agree with?A. Its dangerous to grow new food species.B. The work started by Nikolay Vavilov was useless.C. Storing seeds and planting them are both important.D. Foods grown fr

44、 be free to fly higher. But whydid it falldown?”The father explained, “Son, at the height of life, we often think that some things we are tied to are preventing us from going even higher.40It was helping it stay higher when the wind slowed down and when the wind picked up. You helped the kite go hig
45、her in a proper way through the thread. And when we cut the thread, without the support you were providing to the kite through the thread, it fell down.” The son realized his mistake.A.

46、.D. The young son was surprisedto seethis.E. The father and the son cant fly kites at all.F. The thread was not stopping the kite from going higher.G.
