So what isrewilding？

Imagine our natural homes growing instead of being smaller. Imagine species diversifying instead of declining.That's rewilding. Rewilding offers hope for wildlife，humans and the planet.

Whyis rewilding important and necessary？

·Our natural ecology is broken.The places where you would expect wildlife to exist have been reduced to wet deserts.The seabed has been destroyed and there have been no living creatures any more. ·Our wildlife is disappearing.Many wonderful species have declined over the past century.We've lost more of our large animals than any European country. ·Nature looks after us. Good natural ecology can provide us with clean air and water， prevent flooding and store carbon. Rewilding can leave the world in a better state than it is today.

Whatarechallenges？

As a long-term project，our“Rewilding Britain”has its challenges.Many people are not interested because we have got used to the lack of native forests.Many farmers oppose the idea.They thought it a crazy idea to bring back predators （捕食性動物）because they would start killing farm animals.It takes time to educate them.Above all，we need money！ So we need your help！

Makeadonation.

Help us bring back living systems and restore wild nature！

Early in the morning，a class of first graders excitedly entered the gym.Waiting for them on the floor laya massive，life-sized，inflatable（充氣的）whale，complete with eyes，flippers，and all the markings of thereal-life humpback whale，named Nile.This creature is the brainchild of CyndeB.Mclnnis，a whale lover and educator.“There was always this thing in my mind about taking whales back to Indiana to teach kids，”Mclnnis said in an interview.

After another educator provided an introduction to Nile，the group headed toward the entrance of the whaleand took off their shoes.Once inside，the kids sat inan organized line as the educator pointed out all the significant parts of the whale's interior.As the lesson went on，the kids yelled out answers to questions， clearly thrilled tobe siting inside this behemoth （巨獸）.“The lesson is too cool for the students，”she said. “When theygo in the whale，you just see this childhood excitement on their faces.”Indeed，inside the whale there certainly was an obvious excitement. The educator kept everyone engaged with the jawdropping facts about whales， such as how they can eat two thousand pounds per day.

To Mclnnis，learning about whales is the most certain path to their effective conservation.“It's just geting kids to think that whalesare cool，because if theydon't like them，they're not ever going to be interested in saving them，”Mclnnis said.Her central message about conservation was the importanceof the ocean to all humans.“We think that half the oxygen that we breathe comes from the ocean.Whether you live in Kansas or the coastof Massachusets，you're breathing，”Mclnnis said.“I think that whales are such an awe-inspiring thing，”Mclnnis added.To her，along with being beautiful creatures，whales serve as a bridge into environmentalism from a young age.

B.A deep interest helps develop a green mind.

C.Whales are the most awe-inspiring creatures.

D.The majority of oxygen supply comes from the ocean.

Scientists have reported that the sea ice in Antarctica（南極洲） is at a record low level.Antarctica is a great，icy land，surrounded by the huge Southern Ocean.The ice in Antarctica doesn't just cover the land. There's also a large area of sea ice on the ocean's surface.

Scientists have been measuring the area of the sea ice in Antarctica since 1979.For most of this time， Antarctica has seemed to be almost unaected by the changing weather conditions experienced in other parts of the globe.Thatbegan to change around 2Ol6.Now，forseveral years，the area of Antartica’s sea ice has been shrinking.

This year， the US National Snow and Ice Data Center （NSIDC） reported that Antarctica's sea ice covered its greatest area on 10 September-almost two weeks earlier than normal.And the sea ice was at a newrecord low—not just bya little bit，but byalot.

The last time Antarctica’s low sea ice set a record at the end of winter was in 1986.And this year， there's about 398，0oo square miles less sea ice than in 1986.

Scientists are stilltrying to understand what is driving the change in Antarctica. One likely direct cause for the change is the rising temperatures of the world's oceans.Ted Scambos，a research scientist at the

University ofColorado，says Antarctica’s ice levels have always changed some，but the sharp lossthis year is “pointing toward warmer ocean conditions around the continent\".

The new low record has concerned the scientists.Scientists are working hard to beter understand Antarctica.Theydon't know yetif thisis justa short-term problem，orpartofalong-termshift toward less sea ice in Antarctica.

28.What does the underlined word “shrinking”in Paragraph 2 mean？

A. Getting smaller. B.Being flat. C.Being short. D. Getting lower.

29.Whydoestheauthormentiontherecordin1986？

A.To givean example. B.To make a comparison C. To make a summary. D.To offer an argument.

30.What is the possible direct reason for the change in Antarctica's sea ice？

A.The changing weather conditions. B.Human activities inAntarctica. C.Increased volcanic activities in the area. D.The increasing temperatures of the global oceans

31.Howdo scientists feelabout thelow record of the sea ice？

A. Worried. B.Annoyed. C.Excited. D. Confused.

Warming seas across the globe are endangering coral reefs，a key ecosystem that supports marine life to live and thrive.As a new approach to saving them from extinction，scientists have recently frozen groups of adult corals for the first time and then revived （復(fù)活）them，according to a recent study.

Freezing biological materials，or“cryopreserving”them，refers to keeping them in a deep freeze for long periods without affecting the cel's viability （活性），according to the Science Times website.This method usually cools them to very low temperatures，commonly to -196^°C .Since cells would normally die at such a low temperature due to the formation of ice inside，scientists need to monitor the freezing rate and choose the freezing medium carefully.

Researchers in the US experimented with freezing pea-sized pieces of a common coral in Hawaii. After removing the microbes on the corals，they sealed thecorals in metal containers filld with a chemical solution that partially dehydrated （脫水） themand helped control ice growth.When the corals reached a temperature of around -200^°C， ，the remaining water in the corals solidified into a glassy form.The corals were stillalive， with their life-driving functions becoming extremely slow.After being cryopreserved （冷凍 保存）for a few minutes，the researchers pulled the corals out and placed them in warm water. In two minutes， they started consuming oxygen-a sign of them staying alive.

Previously，researchers had already successfully cryopreserved coral larvae （幼蟲），according to a study in 2018.However，the larvae can only be collected when corals produce eggs in large quantities， which happens just a few nights each year.“That’s putting alot of eggs inone basket，”US marine scientist Liza Roger told Science News.

This breakthrough ofers more hope to the world’s corals，said Roger. However， there's more work to be done.A few days after warming up，the corals became “stressed out” from the process and were killed by the bacteria they normally live in harmony with.The researchers are working on using antibiotics （抗生素） to help them survive fora longer period of time.

32.What is the key factor in the new method of saving corals？

A. Metal containers. B.Low temperatures. C. Dry ice. D.Proper cells.

33.Howdid researchers confirm the cryopreserved coralswere alive？

A.Theygrewsuddenly. B.They started to move C.They began to breathe. D.They stretched out.

34.Whatmayfutureresearchfocuson？

A. Helping larvae lay more eggs. B.Balancing the temperature.

C.Warming up the corals successfully. D.Extending the life of the corals.

35.Whatis the textmainlyabout？

A.Freezing corals for future use. B.Conserving corals in a new way.

C.Discovering a cooling method. D.Killing bacteria to rescue corals.

It was not uncommon to carry out tasks at night as rescuers.Harry and David were informed of their task when it was nearly midnight.It was urgent so there was no time to hesitate.They headed into the forest.

The forest was black and silent.A litle way into it they reached a fork in the earth path. Harry and David took the left path.They walked in silence，their eyes on the ground，watching out for the traps like big pits （坑） setby the illegal hunters.Every now and thenarayof moonlight through the branches above lit aspot of blood on the fallen leaves.

David saw that Harry looked very worried，asking，“Could Unicorn be hurt that badly？” Harry answered，“If we can't find it as soon as possble，it doesn't stand much chance to survive.”O(jiān)fcourse， Unicornwas nottheanimal in fairy tales butthe nickname ofa3-year-oldelephant，the last wild elephant in this forest.The nickname was given by the biodiversity rescuers who were protecting every member in this forest.They knew Unicorn was obedient （順從的）and not afraid of human beings and that sometimes put it in danger.“Without it，the forest was not complete. Those illegal hunters should be thrown into prison，”Harry thought，carrying his firstaid kiton his back and walking forward withhis flashlight.

It seemed that thick fog would come at any time， which would increase the danger. Harry hurried into the heart of the forest with David.They walked for nearly half an hour， deeper and deeper. There were blood splashes （血跡）on the roots of atree，as though the poor creature had been struggling around in pain close by.“We must hurry up，’ said Harry.

注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150個左右。

However， it was really not easy for them to find it.

Withoutdelay，Harry knelt down todo firstaid on its wound withDavid holding the flashlight.
