A blue hle is a special kind f underwater cave fund inland r in the sea, which frms when the earth abve a cave falls in and water fills the space.
An inland blue hle’s water is very still and has different layers. A layer f fresh rainwater flats n tp f salt water; the fresh water keeps xygen frm the atmsphere frm reaching the salt water; brightly clred bacteria live where the tw layers meet.
Diving int blue hles is extremely dangerus. Near the tp f the blue hle, there is a layer f txic gas, which causes itching, dizziness, and—in large amunts—death. Divers must als be fast. They have t get in and ut f a cave befre their xygen runs ut. Additinally, divers have t fllw a guideline as they swim thrugh a blue hle because it is very dark inside. Withut the guideline, they may get lst.
If blue hles are s dangerus, why d explrers and scientists risk their lives t explre them? The reasn is that these underwater caves can prvide valuable scientific infrmatin. They prvide clues abut gelgy, archaelgy, and bilgy. Fr example, sme blue hle creatures, such as the remipede, prbably haven’t changed fr millins f years.
The blue hles culd even prvide clues abut astrbilgy. Fr example, divers have fund bacteria there that can live withut xygen. Astrbilgist Kevin Hand says the bacteria may be similar t frms f life that might exist n Jupiter’s furth largest mn, Eurpa. “Our study f life’s extremes n Earth,” he says, can help increase “ur understanding f habitable envirnments ff Earth.”
In additin, the xygen-free envirnment f the blue hles preserves bnes f humans and animals that fell int the caves lng ag. By studying blue hles, we can understand what life was like in prehistric times. As cave diver Kenny Brad says, “I can think f n ther envirnment n Earth that is s challenging t explre and gives us back s much scientifically.”
27. What’s the main idea f Paragraph 1?
A. The structure f a blue hle.B. The lcatin f a blue hle.
C. The frmatin f a blue hle.D. The definitin f a blue hle.
28. Where can bright-clred bacteria be fund?
A. In the saltwater layer.
B. In the freshwater layer.
C. In between the freshwater and saltwater layers.
D. In bth f the freshwater and saltwater layers.
29. Which f the fllwing best explains the underlined wrd?
A. The study f life n Earth.
B. The study f life in the universe.
C. The study f life in prehistric times.
D. The study f life in xygen-free envirnment.
30. Which f the fllwing can best describe blue hles?
A. They’re xygen-free and lifeless.B. They’re pisnus and dark.
C. They’re death znes and mazelike.D. They’re free f air and light.

The wrld is lsing mnarch butterflies at a striking rate, as kinds f human activities destry natural habitats. 31 Climate change, with its extreme strms, prlnged drughts and warming temperatures, is t destry the frest that serves as the butterfly’s winter hme.
Scientists believe, t help these lvely butterflies, it is necessary t create an ecsystem where the butterflies will be able t survive. They’ve decided t start a mnumental prject. 32
“It’s an idea that may sund crazy,” said Cuauhtemc Saenz-Rmer, a frest geneticist, “but by the end f the century, it may be abslutely needed.”
The butterflies that winter here seek shelter in the yamel firs (冷杉). 33 The firs prtect the butterflies frm chilly winter rains and create a micrclimate cld enugh t keep the butterflies in a state f hibernatin but nt s cld as t kill them.
34 The regin is warming at such an fast pace that the trees wn’t be able t adapt, scientists say, and will need help migrating t areas where the climate is predicted t be suitable fr them in future years.
Over the last several years, the team f researchers has verseen the relcatin f abut 1,000 yung fir plants, which were grwing at lwer altitudes, up t higher—and cler—elevatins. 35 They are nw establishing the trees at even higher altitudes n ther nearby muntains—seeding ecsystems nw that mnarchs culd ptentially use later if temperatures cntinue t rise.
Every winter is witnessing tens f thusands f butterflies in the new frests, sme fluttering abut and thers resting in massive clumps n the firs, their bdies bscuring the branches and trunks.
A. They hpe t expand the prject.
B. There is still hpe t restre the frests.
C. Their thick tps act as an umbrella fr the butterflies.
D. But the biggest threat yet has nly recently cme int fcus.
E. They are trying t mve an entire frest 1,000 feet up a muntain.
F. Scientists fear that climate change may kill ff these firs altgether
G. The prject is believed t prtect the butterfly and the natives as well.

A blue hle is a special kind f underwater cave fund inland r in the sea, which frms when the earth abve a cave falls in and water fills the space.
An inland blue hle’s water is very still and has different layers. A layer f fresh rainwater flats n tp f salt water; the fresh water keeps xygen frm the atmsphere frm reaching the salt water; brightly clred bacteria live where the tw layers meet.
Diving int blue hles is extremely dangerus. Near the tp f the blue hle, there is a layer f txic gas, which causes itching, dizziness, and—in large amunts—death. Divers must als be fast. They have t get in and ut f a cave befre their xygen runs ut. Additinally, divers have t fllw a guideline as they swim thrugh a blue hle because it is very dark inside. Withut the guideline, they may get lst.
If blue hles are s dangerus, why d explrers and scientists risk their lives t explre them? The reasn is that these underwater caves can prvide valuable scientific infrmatin. They prvide clues abut gelgy, archaelgy, and bilgy. Fr example, sme blue hle creatures, such as the remipede, prbably haven’t changed fr millins f years.
The blue hles culd even prvide clues abut astrbilgy. Fr example, divers have fund bacteria there that can live withut xygen. Astrbilgist Kevin Hand says the bacteria may be similar t frms f life that might exist n Jupiter’s furth largest mn, Eurpa. “Our study f life’s extremes n Earth,” he says, can help increase “ur understanding f habitable envirnments ff Earth.”
In additin, the xygen-free envirnment f the blue hles preserves bnes f humans and animals that fell int the caves lng ag. By studying blue hles, we can understand what life was like in prehistric times. As cave diver Kenny Brad says, “I can think f n ther envirnment n Earth that is s challenging t explre and gives us back s much scientifically.”
27. What’s the main idea f Paragraph 1?
A. The structure f a blue hle.B. The lcatin f a blue hle.
C. The frmatin f a blue hle.D. The definitin f a blue hle.
28. Where can bright-clred bacteria be fund?
A. In the saltwater layer.
B. In the freshwater layer.
C. In between the freshwater and saltwater layers.
D. In bth f the freshwater and saltwater layers.
29. Which f the fllwing best explains the underlined wrd?
A. The study f life n Earth.
B. The study f life in the universe.
C. The study f life in prehistric times.
D. The study f life in xygen-free envirnment.
30. Which f the fllwing can best describe blue hles?
A. They’re xygen-free and lifeless.B. They’re pisnus and dark.
C. They’re death znes and mazelike.D. They’re free f air and light.

The wrld is lsing mnarch butterflies at a striking rate, as kinds f human activities destry natural habitats. 31 Climate change, with its extreme strms, prlnged drughts and warming temperatures, is t destry the frest that serves as the butterfly’s winter hme.
Scientists believe, t help these lvely butterflies, it is necessary t create an ecsystem where the butterflies will be able t survive. They’ve decided t start a mnumental prject. 32
“It’s an idea that may sund crazy,” said Cuauhtemc Saenz-Rmer, a frest geneticist, “but by the end f the century, it may be abslutely needed.”
The butterflies that winter here seek shelter in the yamel firs (冷杉). 33 The firs prtect the butterflies frm chilly winter rains and create a micrclimate cld enugh t keep the butterflies in a state f hibernatin but nt s cld as t kill them.
34 The regin is warming at such an fast pace that the trees wn’t be able t adapt, scientists say, and will need help migrating t areas where the climate is predicted t be suitable fr them in future years.
Over the last several years, the team f researchers has verseen the relcatin f abut 1,000 yung fir plants, which were grwing at lwer altitudes, up t higher—and cler—elevatins. 35 They are nw establishing the trees at even higher altitudes n ther nearby muntains—seeding ecsystems nw that mnarchs culd ptentially use later if temperatures cntinue t rise.
Every winter is witnessing tens f thusands f butterflies in the new frests, sme fluttering abut and thers resting in massive clumps n the firs, their bdies bscuring the branches and trunks.
A. They hpe t expand the prject.
B. There is still hpe t restre the frests.
C. Their thick tps act as an umbrella fr the butterflies.
D. But the biggest threat yet has nly recently cme int fcus.
E. They are trying t mve an entire frest 1,000 feet up a muntain.
F. Scientists fear that climate change may kill ff these firs altgether
G. The prject is believed t prtect the butterfly and the natives as well.
