Fr almst a century, Ecuadr's giant trtises （陆龟） have been prtected. These species are ne f the largest living reptiles（爬行动物） n the planet. They live a very lng life—the ldest trtise n recrd was 175 years ld. And, they all live n the Galapags Islands.
Hunting the trtises is illegal under Ecuadr's laws, but nw the Attrney General's ffice has pened an investigatin int the remains f fur trtises that were fund in the park. Trtise meat is cnsidered delicius, meaning there can be large financial gains made by wildlife hunters. "This is nt an islated incident," said the Galápags Cnservancy, a US-based cnservatin rganizatin in a statement. "In September 2021, the remains f 15 critically endangered giant trtises frm the subspecies Chelnidis guntheri were fund n Isabela. Evidence frm the investigatin shwed that the reptiles had likely been hunted fr cnsumptin."
The islands are cnsidered ne f the wrld's best places t see wildlife, and they're hme t animal and plant species that are fund nwhere else in the wrld. The famusly fearless wildlife is believed t have been a surce f ins piratin fr Darwin's thery f evlutin, fllwing his visit t the islands in 1835. The islands were actually discvered by accident in 1535, when a Spanish ship was blwn ff curse while sailing frm Panama t Peru. Ridiculusly enugh, the ship's captain was unimpressed by the islands, writing t the king that they were "wrthless".
In late August, a special unit fr envirnmental crime traveled t the Galápags Islands t investigate and interview park keepers abut the incident. And when the keepers discvered fur animal bdies n Isabela Island, just a few mnths after the discvery f 15 dead trtises, envirnmentalists were shcked. There were nce at least 250,000 trtises n the islands. But nw there are nly fewer than 15,000 in the wild tday, and tw subspecies are already extinct. "Evidence frm the 2021 investigatin shwed that the reptiles had likely been hunted fr cnsumptin," Galapags Cnservancy cntinued. "Therefre, it cmes as n surprise that many are wrried that their ppulatin will cntinue t decrease if serius actin isn't taken sn."
28. What des the underlined wrd "This" in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. The lng life f the giant trtises.
B. The hunting f the trtises in the park.
C. The fd cnsumptin f the trtises.
D. The investigatin int the remains f the trtises.
29. Why is Darwin's thery f evlutin mentined in paragraph 3?
A. T shw the value f the islands.
B. T criticize the captain's ignrance.
C. T present Darwin's great achievements.
D. T raise peple's awareness f prtecting the islands.
30. What des the authr say abut the trtises in the last paragraph?
A. It is nt surprising that they are dying ut.
B. The ppulatin f them is n the sharp decline.
C. Strict measures have been taken t prtect them.
D. They have been s ppular because f their meat.
31. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Reptiles Face Extinctin in a Park f Ecuadr
B. Hw Are Galápags Giant Trtises Well Prtected?
C. Hunting Threatens Galápags Giant Trtises' Survival
D. Why Are Galápags Giant Trtises Called Fearless Reptiles?

Scientists have lng believed that Mars was wet arund three billin years ag and then lst much f its water. But a new study presents evidence f water activity frm abut 700 millin years ag, psing a new puzzle abut Mars and its histry fr scientists t crack in their future studies.
The new study is based n data frm China's Zhurng rver(“祝融号”火星车）, part f the Tianwen-1 missin that tuched dwn n the surface f Mars in May 2021. In particular, the scientists used data the rver gathered during its first 92 Martian days, at its landing site in Utpia Planitia. Yang Liu, a researcher frm the Chinese Academy f Sciences(CAS), and his clleagues analyzed data frm three different instruments n Zhurng. Thse instruments studied minerals that suggest the presence f a large quantity f liquid water at the site abut 700 millin years ag, which scientists previusly thught was dry.
"This is a very interesting result. We have very little recrded evidence f yung liquidwater systems n Mars. And fr the nes we have, they were usually in the frm f salt minerals," says Dr. Scheller, a scientist at the Califrnia Institute f Technlgy. He explained Zhurng's instruments sptted water mlecules lcked awav in the rck, which was different frm ther yung liquid water envirnments that have been bserved.
"One f the majr things we'll have t find ut and that I lk frward t seeing frm the Zhurng rver is hw extensive these 'yung' water-bearing minerals are," Dr. Scheller said. "Are they cmmn r uncmmn in these 'yung' rcks?" Zhurng has nw cvered abut tw kilmeters during its mre than 350 Martian days and has analyzed a range f features n its travels, meaning mre new Martian insights are likely still t cme frm the rver.
NASA has s far sent its Mars rvers t ancient landing sites, dating back t mre than 3.7 billin years ag. Zhurng is nt just an extra set f wheels n Mars, but a pwerful suite f instruments explring a new, gelgically yung site t pen new windws f pprtunity fr research n Mars.
32. What des the underlined wrd "crack" in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Keep. B. Dubt. C. Slve. D. Create.
33. What des the new study shw accrding t paragraph 2?
A. The inaccuracy f data gathered n Mars.
B. Functinal limitatins f instruments n Mars.
C. Main reasns fr the failure f the Tianwen-1 missin.
D. The miscnceptin f past thinking abut Martian water.
34. Which f the fllwing des Dr. Scheller cnvey?
A. The result has been recrded by many scientists.
B. Zhurng's wide analyses will bring mre surprises.
C. Salt minerals are yunger than water-bear ing minerals.
D. Yung water-bearing minerals are cmmn in yung rcks.
35. Which wrd can best describe Zhurng?
A. Ancient. B. Cmmn. C. Alarming. D. Prmising.
