On a diving hliday in the Philippines last Octber, with seven ther advanced divers, I dived ff the bat, slwly sinking t abut 20m.
45 minutes later, a lw rumble like an engine drwned ut the sund f my breathing and I felt deep pwerful vibratins(震动) as if a big bat was passing verhead. The dive instructr's eyes were wide with cnfusin t. We bth swam next t each ther staying clse t the side f the reef. The situatin felt sinister.
Then we were envelped by cluds f white sand that mushrmed up arund us. Culd it be a giant turtle racing past us? They are nrmally slw mver s s this was very weird behavir. The vibratin became s intense that I culd feel it in my bnes and then the sund turned int a deafening rar. Suddenly, a few meters belw us, breaks began frming and the sand was sucked dwn. That was when I gt what it was. The nise was the sund f the earth splitting pen and grinding( 碾压) against itself.
We held hands and lked int each ther's eyes, cmfrted by each ther's presence. My bdy went n high alert and it tk enrmus willpwer t resist the urge t swim t the surface, which was nt sensible as situatin n the surface at that time was unclear with ptential threats.
The sund and vibratin lasted nly tw r three minutes and when swimming back, we all held hands befre resurfacing t avid decmpressin sickness, which can be deadly.
Back n the bat, we checked the news and discvered we had witnessed a huge earthquake, measuring 7.2 n the Richter scale. It released mre energy than 30 Hirshima bmbs, thugh it seemed that we were nt at the epicenter(震中). I was high and felt lucky surprisingly nt because f my recent survival miracle, but t have experienced nature at its mst stunning and its mst frightening.

When climate activists gathered in frnt f a cpy f The Last Supper at Lndn's Ryal Academy f Arts, criticizing the British gvernment's supprt f the fssil fuel industry, peple reflected deeply n their argument. But when prtesters threw tmat sup at Van Ggh’s Sunflwers, and mashed ptates at Haystacks by Mnet, criticism rse.
“ We have been deeply shaken by their absurd and risky endangerment,” read a statement frm the Internatinal Cuncil f Museums. Luckily the targeted wrks are prtected behind glass, s actual damage has been minimal. And perhaps the anger greeting their acts prves their pint: that peple care mre abut the pssible destructin f a painting than the actual destructin f the planet. But as the attacks wear dwn, and their impact decreases, they risk changing int a jke.
What's especially misguided abut the prtests is that they ask peple t make a chice--“ What is wrth mre, art r life?” But why chse?“ It's pssible t blame bth envirnmental vandalism (蓄意破坏) and cultural vandalism at the same time,” Mark Pasnik, chair f the Bstn Art Cmmissin, said. Art is nt the prblem here. In fact, sme artists are making quite effective wrks abut the climate crisis, precisely using art as activism. One such example is Maya Lin's Ghst Frest, a climate change memrial she created in a New Yrk City park.
The climate activists are surely crrect that the pace f refrm is far t slw, as the planet burns and deadly strms intensify. But they casually dismiss the sincere effrts f millins f peple wrking n the issue. It wuld be easier t gain peple's supprt and respect if they were t spend their time and energy n the unexciting but essential plitical wrk arund climate change: legislatin( 法律) , regulatin, and winning hearts and minds.
Predictably, the debates caused by the prtests have nt been abut climate change, but abut the prtests themselves. Given hw little they’ve dne t generate serius discussin amng peple, the art attacks seem less like vital acts f lawbreaking than me re drama.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. Presenting prtesters’ attitude t art wrks.
B. Blaming the British Gvernment's decisin.
C. Stressing the seriusness f envirnment crises.
D. Cntrasting public attitudes t activists' prtests.
29. Which expressin best describes climate activists’ vandalizing actin?
A. The end justifies the means.
B. Art speaks where wrds fail.
C. The freedm f prtest shuld be prtected.
D. Art matters in the fight against climate crisis.
30. Why des the authr mentin Maya Lin's Ghst Frest in paragraph 3?
A. T blame the tw kinds f vandalism.
B. T prve art is mre imprtant than life.
C. T advcate peple making right chices.
D. T shw sme artists are pulling their weight.
31. What is the authr's attitude t the prtesters' attacks t art?
A. Supprtive. B. Objective. C. Unfavrable. D. Tlerant.
D
A French study published last mnth in the Jurnal Animal Cgnitin fund that nt nly d cats react t what scientists call cat- directed speech--a high- pitched vice similar t hw we talk t babies-- but they react t wh is ding the talking.
“ We fund that when hearing their wners using a high- pitched vice, the cats reacted mre than when they heard their wner speaking nrmally t anther human adult,” said Charltte de
Muzn, an authr f the study and cat behavir expert at the Université Paris Nanterre.“ But surprisingly, it didn't wrk when it came frm a stranger's vice.”
Unlike with dgs, cat behavir is difficult t study, which is part f why humans understand them less. Cats are ften s stressed when studied in a lab that meaningful behaviral bservatins becme less likely. And frget abut getting a cat's M. R. I. scan fr its brain functin study.
S the researchers fr the latest study went t the cats’ hmes and played recrdings f different types f speech and different speakers.“ Their reactins were very subtle( 微妙的) ,” Dr. de Muzn said.“ It culd be just mving an ear r turning the head twards the speaker r even freezing what they were ding.” In a few cases, the cats wuld apprach the speaker playing a vice and mew.
The findings shwed that“ cats are paying clse attentin t their caretakers, dwn t nt nly what they are saying, but hw they are saying it,” said Dr. de Muzn. The relatinships between a cat and its wner replicate(复制) the cnnectin between a kitten and its mther.“ It is pssible that attachment behavirs riginally intended fr interactins with their mther have nw been mdified fr interactins with their new caretakers, humans.”
“ Fr years, scientists didn’t ask the right questins abut cats,” Dr. de Muzn said. Nw thse wh are cnvinced f the dislyalty f cats wn't like the answers. Cats dn't hate us after all, Dr. de Muzn said, adding that “a grwing bdy f wrk supprts the idea that scial interactin with humans is key in the life f a cat.”
32. Which sectin can yu expect t find this passage in a magazine?
A. Our Furry Friends. B. Flra and Gardens.
C. Crafts and Furnishing. D. Health and Well- being.
33. Accrding t the study, which f the fllwing may capture a cat's attentin?
A. An adult's rdinary vice. B. A baby's high- pitched vice.
C. A stranger's high- pitched speech. D. An wner's cat- directed speech.
34. Hw did the researchers cnduct the research?
A. By giving the cats an M. R. I. scan.
B. By cmparing cats and dgs behavirs.
C. By replicating a kitten- mther relatinship.
D. By bserving cat's reactin t sme recrdings.
35. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. New evidence disapprves that cat are cld.
B. Cats treat their wners the way they treat their mthers.
C. Cats respnd t their wners well when cmmunicated prperly.
D. The scial interactin between cats and humans is imprtant t cats.

Similarly, green iguanas were brught t China as pets, but sme irrespnsible wners released them int the wild. 38
The wrldwide ecnmic impact f intrduced species is enrmus. Accrding t U.

They ften lack natural predatrs(掠食者) in their new envirnment and ut- cmpete native species fr fd and ther resurces. 40 In Flrida, fr instance, pythns have reduced sme reginal mammal ppulatins by 90 percent. Additinally, Invasive species can als carry diseases against which lcal species have n natural defense, resulting in the extinctin f an entire native species.
Alarmingly, the Natinal Wildlife Federatin in the U. S. warns that,“ Unless peple take serius actin, the ecnmic and envirnmental csts cnnected t invasive species will becme astrnmical.”
A. They may even prey n lcal species.
B. The same went with Burmese pythns( 蟒) in Flrida.
C. Other times nn- native species are purpsely brught in.
D. The ecnmic impact f fire ants alne ttals in the billins.
E. Millins f dllars were spent fighting intrduced species in US.
F. In sme way, the intrduced species can be a duble blade swrd.
G. Like many thers, this invasive species is als quite expensive and destructive.
