When a chunk f ice fell frm a cllapsing glacier(冰川)n the Swiss Alps’ Munt Eiger in 2017, part f the lng deep sund it prduced was t lw fr human ears t detect. But these vibratins held a key t calculating the ice avalanche’s(崩塌)critical characteristics.
Lw-frequency sund waves called infrasund that travel great distances thrugh the atmsphere are already used t mnitr active vlcanes frm afar. Nw sme researchers in this field have switched fcus frm fire t ice: dangerus blcks snapping ff glaciers. Previus wrk has analyzed infrasund frm snw avalanches but never ice, says Bise State University gephysicist Jeffrey Jhnsn. “This was different,” Jhnsn says. “A signature f a new material has been detected with infrasund.”
Usually glaciers mve far t slwly t generate an infrasund signal, which researchers pick up using detectrs that track slight changes in air pressure. But a cllapse—a sudden, rapid breaking f ice frm the glacier’s main bdy—is a prlific infrasund prducer. Glacial cllapses drive ice avalanches, which pse an increasing threat t peple in muntainus regins as rising temperatures weaken large fields f ice. A glacier “can becme detached frm the grund due t melting, causing bigger break— ffs,” says University f Flrence gelgist Emanuele Marchetti, lead authr f the new study. As the threat grws, scientists seek new ways t mnitr and detect such cllapses.
Researchers ften use radar t track ice avalanches, which is precise but expensive and can mnitr nly ne specific lcatin and neighbring avalanche paths. Infrasund, Marchetti says, is cheaper and can detect break—ff events arund a much brader area as well as multiple avalanches acrss a muntain. It is challenging, hwever, t separate a signal int its cmpnents (such as traffic nises, individual avalanches and nearby earthquakes) withut additinal measurements, says ETH Zurich glacilgist Malgrzata Chmiel. “The mdel used by Marchetti is a first apprximatin fr this,” she says. Islating the relevant signal helps the researchers mnitr an ice avalanche’s speed, path and vlume frm afar using infrasund.
Marchetti and his clleagues are nw wrking t imprve their detectrs t pick up mre signals acrss at-risk regins in Eurpe, and they have set up cllabratins arund the cntinent t better understand signals that cllapsing glaciers prduce. They are als refining their mathematical analysis t figure ut each ice cascade’s physical details.
4. What can we learn frm Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?
A. Infrasund has a majr rle t play in discvering new materials.
B. Ice avalanches are a bigger threat t peple than vlcanic eruptins.
C. Researchers are trying t use infrasund in detecting ice avalanches.
D. Scientists emply infrasund mre in muntain areas than in ther places.
5. Which is an advantage f infrasund ver radar?
A. The cmbinatin with ther relevant signals.
B. The accuracy in lcating a certain avalanche.
C. The ability in picking up signals in wider areas.
D. The sensitivity in tracking air pressure changes.
6. The underlined wrd “this” in Paragraph 4 refers t________.
A. distinguishing different cmpnents f a signal
B. detecting multiple avalanches at the same time
C. calculating the speed and path f ice avalanches
D. mnitring the specific lcatin f ice break—ffs
7. Which f the fllwing wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A. Frm Fire t IceB. Glacier Whispers

The key t a happy life has nthing t d with getting ahead at wrk, making mney, r traveling the wrld. Instead, living yur best life and creating meaning is all abut ne thing: relatinships.
A study f adult develpment has been running at Harvard since 1938, and is nw n its secnd generatin f participants—the children f the riginal study’s subjects. Over decades, the research team cllected data abut their lives, including their physical and mental health, marital (婚姻的) status and quality, career happiness, etc.
They fund the mst imprtant aspect in hw happy and healthy these men were ver time was their relatinships. In ther wrds: Finding happiness in life is all abut the peple yu lve.
The research desn’t nly include rmantic relatinships and marriage. Quality, clse relatinships are imprtant whether they are in the situatin f rmantic relatinships r clseness between friends r family members. The kind f relatinship yu have is less imprtant than hw clse yu feel with them.
Hwever, the study nly included men, and imprtant gender differences exist in hw peple experience relatinships. Sme research suggests that men may benefit mre frm marriage. But they tend t have a harder time keeping friendships; as men get lder, they will mre likely say they have nbdy t discuss imprtant subjects with. S it’s pssible that having clse relatinships thrughut their lives might affect men differently than wmen.
The findings line up with the effects f lneliness. Peple wh are scially islated have a greater likelihd f strkes (中风), heart attacks, and higher bld pressure, nt t mentin mental health issues.
Unfrtunately fr the yungest generatins, recent surveys fund that yung Americans are lnelier than lder generatins. That will likely have a big impact n hw healthy and happy peple feel thrughut their lives.
13. What’s the mral lessn frm this passage?
A. Travel far and wide t learn a lt.B. Keep an pen mind t be creative.
C. Treasure yur time with yur lved nes.D. Wrk hard t be the best f yur prfessin.
14. What’s the implicatin f Paragraph 5?
A. Wmen are unwilling t participate in the study.
B. Men are better at maintaining a clse relatinship.
C. Wmen are nt treated equally in scientific research.
D. The findings f the study may nt be true fr wmen.
15. Why is the yungest generatin unfrtunate?
A. Because they have nbdy t talk t.B. Because they are mre scially islated.
C. Because they can’t keep their relatinships.D. Because they suffer physically and mentally.
16. What is the best title fr the text?
