21、 PLAYA GRANDE, COSTA RICA? This resort town was long known for Leatherback Sea Turtle (棱皮龟) national Park, nightly turtle beach tours and even a sea turtle museum. However, on a beach where dozens of turtles used to nest on a given night, scientists spied only 32 leatherbacks all of last year.
With leatherbacks threatened with extinction (灭绝), Playa Grande’s turtle museum was abandoned three years ago and now sits among a sea of weeds. And the beachside ticket office for turtle tours was washed away by a high tide in September. “We do not promote that as a turtle tourism destination any more because we realize there are far too few turtles to please,” said Alvaro Fonseca, a park ranger (管理员).
Even before scientists found temperatures going up over the past decade, sea turtles were threatened by beach development, drift net fishing and Costa Ricans interest in eating turtle eggs. But climate change may cause the most serious harm to an animal that has lived in the Pacific for 150 million years.
Sea turtles are sensitive to numerous effects of warming. They feed on reefs, which are dying in hotter seas. They lay eggs on beaches that are being covered by rising seas and more violent waves.
More uniquely their gender (性别) is determined, not by genes but by the egg’s temperature during development. Small rises in beach temperatures can result in ail-female populations, obviously problematic for survival. If the sand around the eggs hits 30 degrees Celsius, the gender balance shits to females: at about 32 degrees they are all female. Above 34, you get boiled eggs.
On some nesting beaches, scientists are artificially cooling nests with shade or irrigation and trying to protect broader areas of coastal property from development to ensure that turtles have a place to nest as the seas rise.
【1】Why does the resort town stop promoting it’s turtle tourism?
A.It decides not to disturb the turtles’ normal life.
B.Tourists have lost interest in watching turtles.
C.There are only very few turtles now.
D.The turtle museum was destroyed by a high tide.
【2】Which of the following is the major factor in the turtles endangerment?
A.The locals eating habit.
B.Drift net fishing.
C.Beach development.
D.Global warming.
【3】We learn from the last paragraph that scientists .
A.are doing research on the sea rise
B.are moving turtles to new homes
C.are protecting turtles’ nests
D.are getting rid of sea weeds
【4】The passage intends to .
A.introduce a special kind of sea turtle
B.explain the mystery of turtles’ eggs
C.show the dangers a certain kind of turtle is facing
D.attract more visitors to a sea turtle museum
22、 As a boy, I wanted to go to the South Pole. As a teenager, I decided I'd like to go to the North Pole too. And yet, I haven't done either. It had taken me 31 years to just make it to the Arctic.
I was traveling with a film crew from Northern Ireland, following the footsteps of Lord Dufferin who, in the 1850s, sailed from Scotland to the Arctic. As an early adventure tourist, he was driven by the desire to see what lay at the ends of the world.
As we sailed north, icebergs of the size of buses floated past our small boat. Finally, we reached our destination—English Bay, where Dufferin landed- and stepped off onto the horseshoe-shaped beach.
This was what I'd dreamt of: standing somewhere so pure and primitive. However, for many early polar explorers, the results were far less pleasant. The south, in particular, was source of extreme danger.
My childhood interest in the South Pole was fueled by the unsuccessful yet heroic adventures of Emest Shackleton. He died in 1922 while preparing for his fourth adventure. The stories of Robert Falcon Scott are also well-known: he and four companions died on their way back from the South Pole.
So why do explorers put themselves at such risk?
Much of it seems to lie in the purity of the challenge. Scott talked of the appeal of a place that had been “unreached and unseen by humans.” “With a view over shining lands covered by ice-sheets of inconceivable extent, you have the feeling of living over the control of death,” said Fridtjof Nansen, a Norwegian explorer.
On the homeward journey the weather turned and we were left for a few days at the mercy of a storm. We experienced a small taste of helplessness when faced with the raw power of nature. We should be grateful for the great explorers’ spirit and stories. I know I am.
【1】Why did the author begin his adventure tour?
A．To assist a film crew
B．To realize a childhood dream
C．To memorize Lord Dufferin
D．To challenge a world record
【2】Which of the following best explains "inconceivable" underlined in paragraph 7?
A．Hard to control
B．Too far to reach
C．Hard to imagine
D．Too bright to view
【3】What happened during the writer's journey?
A．They were trapped in icebergs
B．They were kept off the destination
C．They were attacked by a storm
D．They were rescued by explorers
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．The Appeal of the Ends of the World
B．The Dream of Traveling to the Arctic
C．The Victory over the Control of Death
D．The Gratitude to Great Explorers Spirit
