22、We hope you've finally made your peace with Pluto being downgraded from a planet to an ice dwarf (冰矮星)，because we have some more jarring news for you : It seems your teachers may have been wrong about the number of continents on the earth，too.
Earlier this year, scientists published a report in the journal of the Geological Society of America detailing an eighth continent called Zealandia, roughly the size of India and almost completely hid itself under the Pacific Ocean east of Australia. Covering all of New Zealand as well as several nearby islands, Zealandia likely spent the best of its above-water days as part of the supercontinent Gondwana before fragmenting off Australia and Antarctica some 80 million years ago. This lost, underwater continent is just beginning to reveal its secrets, making for one of the most promising scientific discoveries this year.
While researchers have been aware of the 1. 9 million-square-mile mass for two decades， Zealandia has only recently become the object of serious study since the Geological Society paper argued that it fits all the criteria for a proper continent, including a continental crust (地壳)that's distinctly separate from the seabed in terms of elevation, thickness, and geology. A team of 32 scientists from 12 countries just completed their first visit to six dig sites around Zealandia, where they drilled up more than 8,000 feet of sediment cores (沉积物岩心)that will help explain the lost continent's 80-million-year history.
Because there is no official body that formally recognizes continents, whether or not Zealandia ends up in future geography textbooks will come down to its acceptance by the scientific community at large, possibly with a little help from travelers like you.

A. To express his or her pity.
B. To introduce the topic.

D. To explain the ice dwarf.
【2】What do we know about Zealandia in Paragraph 2?

B. It belongs to Gondwana now.
C. It is similar to Antarctica in size.
D. It has a history of over 80 billion years.
【3】What can most probably help discover more secrets about Zealandia?
A. The sediment cores on Zealandia.
B. The wildlife in New Zealand.
C. The standard for a continent.
D. The seabed near Antarctica.
【4】Where does the text probably come from?
A. A travel brochure.
B. An advertisement.
C. An geography magazine.
D. A science fiction.

24、 In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter's end. So it's no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.
Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered "eggs" that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.
One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.
"There's something about their delicate nature that appeals to me," says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. "I've broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end. "
But there's an appeal in that vulnerability. "There's part of this sickening horror of knowing you're walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second" Chast's designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.
Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.
"There's an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not prevail in the world," says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.
The tradition, dating back to 300 B. C., was later incorporated into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still endure. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.
【1】Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?
A.It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.
B.It is their major source of protein in winter.
C.It can easily be made into a work of art.
D.It can bring wealth and honor to them.
【2】What do we learn about the decorated "eggs" in Russia?
A.They are shaped like jewel cases.
B.They are cherished by the rich.
C.They are heavily painted in red.
D.They are favored as a form of art.
【3】Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition?
A.Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life.
B.Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists.
C.Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.
D.Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.
【4】Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?
A.She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed.
B.She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea.
C.She always derives great pleasure from designing something new.
D.She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end.
