Rivers and streams in Alaska are changing clrs — frm a clean, clear blue t a rust y range — because f the txic metal s released by thawing permafrst (融化的冻土), accrding t a new study.
The finding surprised researchers wh cnducted tests at 75 lcatins in the waterways f Alaska’s Brks Range. The rivers and streams in the range appeared t rust and became cludy and range ver the past five t 10 years, accrding t the study published in the jurnal Cmmunicatins: Earth & Envirnment.
The disclratin (变色) and cludiness are being caused by metal s such as irn and lead, sme f which are txic t the river and stream ecsystems — as permafrst thaws and expses the waterways t minerals lcked away undergrund fr thusands f years.
“We’re used t seeing this in parts f Califrnia where we have mining histry. This is a classic prcess that happens in rivers here fr ver 100 years,” said Brett Pulin, a c-authr f the study and a prfessr f envirnmental txiclgy at UC Davis. “But it’s very shcking t see it in sme f the mst remte wilderness and far frm a mine surce,” Brett added.
Arctic sils naturally cntain rganic carbn, nutrients and metals within their permafrst. High temperatures have caused these minerals and the water surces arund them t meet as permafrst melts. The Arctic is warming fur times faster than the rest f the wrld. “It’s really an unexpected cnsequence f climate change,” said Brett.
This disclratin has been linked t dramatic declines in sea life, raising cncerns abut hw the cntinued melting f permafrst will affect cmmunities that rely n thse waterways fr drinkıng and fishing.
These studies have extended beynd the US in the past. Similar research n increases in metal and rare earth element cncentratins in muntain rivers and streams has been dne in the Eurpean Alps and the Pyrenees in nrthern Spain. Althugh sme f these areas have been expsed t mining sites and thus have seen metal cncentratins in rivers and streams ver the years, the nted increases raise questins abut hw climate change will cntinue t impact muntain water surces.
8．What leads t clr changes in the waterways in Alaska?
A．Fast circulatin f water.B．A lng histry f mining.
C．Expsure f certain minerals.D．Imbalanced water ecsystems.
9．What d Brett’s wrds indicate abut the unusual disclratin?
A．It’s a natural prcess in Alaska.B．It ften happens in the wilderness.
C．It existed in Califrnia nt lng ag.D．It’s linked t the rise in temperature.
10．Which can be a pssible result f the phenmenn?
A．Fishermen will catch fewer fish.
B．The Arctic will be warmer and warmer.
C．Metal cncentratins in water will drp quickly.
D．Mst Eurpean mining sites will be clsed dwn.
11．What can be the best title fr the article?
A．Melting Permafrst in the Arctic.
B．Clr change f waterways in Alaska.
C．The impact f climate change wrldwide.
D．Undergrund minerals expsed in Califrnia.
“Merry Christmas frm the Family”, a cuntry sng by Rbert Earl Keen, tells the tale f a festive get-tgether. Many listeners will recgnize the chas (混乱) the singer describes; even mre than that, they will definitely identify with his struggle t recall hw he is related t the varius guests. “Fred and Rita drve frm Harlingen,” Mr. Keen sings, “Can’t remember hw I’m kin (有亲属关系的) t them.”
That may have smething t d with the English language. It is ften jked that anyne arund yur age is a “cusin” and anyne lder is an “uncle” r “aunt”. English is rather bare in its terms fr family members. Other languages pay far mre attentin t the details.
Take “brther” and “sister” fr instance. Scieties that value age-rder highly ften have different terms fr lder brther, lder sister, yunger brther and yunger sister. These are ge, jie, di and mei in Chinese r ani, ane, tt, imt in Japanese.
Chinese even requires the speakers t remember whether a relative is lder r yunger than they are, whether relatives f their parents are lder r yunger than they, and s n. There are many armchair theries abut the relatinship between language and culture that d nt hld up t careful examinatin. The East Asian languages’ fcus n senirity (年长), hwever, is actually related t the imprtance Cnfucianism places n the virtue f respecting yur elders.
Actually, all languages permit yu t describe relatinships in any amunt f detail yur listener wuld like. The fcus that sme cultures put n labelling every pssible relatin with a distinct term des nt mean that thse wh lack thse terms d nt pay attentin t family netwrks. Every English-speaking family seems t have at least ne member wh can srt ut the cmplicated relatins and tell yu that Henry Frd was a great-great-great uncle. But each family als has members wh culdn’t care less, waving a hand and saying “uncle” r “cusin”.
12．Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic f the text?
A．By criticizing a frgetful guest.B．By praising a recgnized singer.
C．By illustrating a shared experience.D．By presenting a chatic get-tgether.
13．Why des the authr mentin the examples f Chinese and Japanese?
A．T indicate their respect fr the elders.
B．T make a cntrast with English language.
C．T emphasize the influence f Cnfucianism.
D．T make an analysis f East Asian languages.
14．What des “armchair theries” in paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A．Baseless assumptins.B．Detailed descriptins.
C．Cntradictry thughts.D．Cnvincing explanatins.
15．What des the authr want t cnvey in the last paragraph?
A．Labelling every relatin is n easy.
B．English speakers value family netwrks as well.
C．Sme peple enjy srting ut cmplicated relatins.
D．General terms fr relatives indicate weaker family bnd.
In 1985, 16-year-ld Duglas Casa, ran the champinship 10,000 meter track race at the Empire State Games. Suddenly, with just 200 meters t g, he cllapsed n the final straightaway, with his bdy temperature at dangerus levels. He had suffered an exertinal heat strke(运动型中暑) r sunstrke. 16

As far as treatment ges, the mst imprtant thing t remember is cl first, transprt secnd. The human bdy can withstand a cre temperature abve 40℃ fr abut 30 minutes befre cell damage sets in. 18 After any athletic r prtective gear has been remved frm the victim, place them in an ice water tub while stirring the water and mnitring vitals cntinuusly. 19 As yu wait, it’s imprtant t keep the victim calm while cling as much surface area as pssible until emergency persnnel arrive. If medical staff are available n site, cling shuld cntinue until a cre temperature f 38.9℃ is reached.
20 As Dr. J Levick wrte f exertinal heat strke in 1859, “It strikes dwn its victim with his full armr n. Yuth, health and strength ppse n bstacle t its pwer.” But dn’t be frightened s much fr it has been 100% survivable with prper care.
