六、阅读理解

It may not be quite old enough to be the world’s oldest living organism—that “honor” goes to the bristlecone pine tree(aged 5,000 years)—but，at 4,000 years of age，Leiopathes glaberrima，a deep water coral species，does set the record for being the oldest animal living under the sea.

Located on the floor of the Pacific Ocean，off Hawaii，the 3 meters tall，(extremely) long­lived “black coral” could have some valuable clues about past incidents of climate change；specifically，it could better scientists’ understanding of how oceans draw down carbon dioxide—and of ocean acidification(酸化) in general.Brendan Roark of Texas A&M University，who led a research expedition in 2006 to study the corals’ climate records，presented his findings at the recent AAAS meeting.

How long they can live is anybody’s guess，Roark told Science’s Erik Stokstad.He and his colleagues used radiocarbon dating to determine the coral’s age.What this suggests，he said，is that the harvesting of deep­water coral for jewelry should be completely banned；because the corals grow at such an anemic(无活力的)rate，any level of harvesting would likely wipe out the remaining specimens—those not yet affected by ocean acidification.

Roark believes it could be possible to reconstruct records of subsurface(地下的) temperature variability and ocean circulation changes，which would provide some insight on climate change incidents and help predict future effects.By comparison，that ocean quahog clam(圆蛤) we mentioned a while back—aged 405 years—seems almost sprightly(活泼的)．

 

1．What does the underlined word “clues” in the second paragraph mean?

A．Evidence  B．Treasure  C．Worth  D．Usage.

2．What’s the value of the finding of the Leiopathes glaberrima?

A．It shows which is the oldest in the ocean.

B．It helps the scientists get more information about the ocean.

C．It shows why the weather changes so much.

D．It helps the scientists know how to live longer.

3．Why should the harvesting of deep­water coral for jewelry be completely banned?

A．Because the jewelry has little value.

B．Because the jewelry is hard to harvest.

C．Because harvesting for the jewelry does great harm to deep­water coral.

D．Because it is very dangerous.

4．What is the best title of the passage?

A．The World’s Oldest Living Organism

B．The Oldest Animal Under the Sea

C．How to Protect the Corals Grow

D．A Great Discovery

Dear sir or madam, 

I’m writing this letter to call on attention to the community lecture concerning garbage classification.Given that most neighbors fail to classify garbage properly though they really try to,  our community will organize this lecture in an attempt to guide this deed.

Garbage classification is of great significance.Firstly,  not only can it cope with pollution issue effectively but more space originally occupied by wasteland will be spared.Secondly,  we can undeniably make a difference by taking advantage of recyclable garbage.

To fulfill your obligation to live an eco-life,  come and join in the lecture to be given at 3 p.m.next Sunday on the playground of Hongqi Primary School.Only with combined efforts can we make our neighborhood better.

Yours,
