21、Mangroves are trees that typically grow in saltwater along coasts. But some red mangroves end up deep in the rainforests of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. These plants live in freshwater along the San Pedro Martir River. That’s nearly 200 kilometers from the sea. Scientists wanted to know how these mangroves got trapped so far inland. Carlos Burelo was among them. He became curious about these mangroves on a childhood fishing trip there 35 years ago. Burelo saw that the roots of the mangroves grew above ground. This was different from the other trees.
Burelo’s team first investigated where the freshwater mangroves came from. They started by collecting their leaves and then compared their DNA to the leaves from coastal mangroves which were growing along the Gulf of Mexico. The DNA helped identify the origins of the mangroves on the San Pedro Martir River. They had started along the Gulf of Mexico, some 170 kilometers away from the river. The team discovered other evidence that this ecosystem had once been coastal. They discovered 112 other species in this region that are typically found near coasts.
The researchers looked at the soil too. “These sediments (沉积物)near the mangroves revealed exactly what we expected,” says Exequiel Ezcurra, an ecologist at the University of California. In all, the researchers turned up coastal stones, shells of sea snails and clay sediments rich in shell fragments (碎片). These led the researchers to conclude the area used to be part of the ocean long ago.
Computer models of how sea level has changed over time confirmed those findings. The models showed that when sea levels were higher in the past, the ocean merged with the lower basin of the San Pedro Martir River. That would have been around 150,000 to 130,000 years ago. This pushed red mangroves and other species inland.
“This discovery highlights how changes to the past climate have affected the world’s coastlines,” Ezcurra says. “It also offers a chance to better understand how future sea level rise may affect these ecosystems.”

A.The changes of the sea water.
B.The problems facing the rainforest.
C.The unusual roots of some mangroves.

A.The composition of the soil is very complicated.

23、Do you want to be at the top of your class?Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student!
【1】 I cannot stress(强调)enough how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher is teaching you. Take part in class discussions if you have something worthwhile to add. Pay attention during class, especially during lectures.
Taking notes is important. You don't need to write down every word your teacher says but write down what he writes on the board, or any special fact you think you might need for a test.【2】 This way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.
Don't skip school(逃学).You will be missing out on stuff.【3】 However, you will have more work because you have missed lectures. Also, try not to be late for class. It's most likely that your teacher won't appreciate it and you will get yourself behind.
【4】 If you have an "I don't care about school or this class" attitude, then teachers will be less willing to offer you extra credit(学分).The same goes for lazy attitude. Have a respectful attitude to the teacher and other students. Try not to laugh when other students make a mistake.
Always ask questions.【5】 If you don't understand, ask someone. Read your textbook and notes, and then if that fails, seek help. Ask a teacher, friend, classmate, parent, etc. Get a tutor if you need one.
A.Be prepared.
B.Write in your own words.
C.Staying organised will be helpful.

24、Malaysia is a fortunate nation when it comes to food. Food is readily available, especially in towns and cities. There are hawker stalls (小贩摊位) along streets, restaurants, and food courts. 【1】 People have the choice of eating out or cooking their meals at home. Three factors that affect the choice of eating out and eating at home are cost, convenience, and quality.
【2】 For example, buying the ingredients (食材) to cook a plate of fried noodles may cost less than half the price of a plate of fried noodles at a restaurant. Restaurants and food stalls need to make a profit. Therefore, they have to charge more than the actual cost of the food they serve.
The second factor that determines to eat out or at home is convenience. Having someone cook for you, serve you, and clean up after you, definitely makes eating out more convenient than eating at home. It saves you the trouble of having to shop for the ingredients, doing the actual cooking, and washing up afterward. 【3】 So it is no wonder that busy people prefer to eat out most of the time.
Quality is the third thing to consider when choosing between home-cooked food and outside food. 【4】 And it is more hygienic (卫生) generally. In contrast, food served at stalls and restaurants is often not prepared with such good quality ingredients as this would reduce their profit margins.
In brief, eating out is more convenient while eating at home is less costly and much healthier. Making the choice is really not that hard as it just depends on what is most important to you. 【5】 If you do not want to spend so much on food, then cooking your own meals is the better choice. Finally, if health is your most important concern, it would be better to eat at home.
A.Preparing a meal is also time-consuming.
B.If you dislike cooking, eating out is the solution.
C.A great variety of delicious food is sold in these places.
D.Eating out is more and more popular around the world.
E.It is convenient to eat out despite the high fat food.
F.Naturally, food prepared at home uses better quality ingredients.
G.In terms of cost, eating out is usually more expensive than cooking at home.
