16、将该选项标号涂黑。AIn a surprising discovery about where higher life can survive, scientists have found a shrimp -like creature and a jellyfish swimming beneath an Antarctic ice sheet.About 180 meters below the ice where no light can get through, scientists had figured nothing much more than a few microbes微生

17、物could exist.Thats why a NASA team was surprised when they lowered a video camera to get the first long look at the underbelly of an ice sheet in Antarctica. A curious shrimp-like creature came swimming by and then parked itself on the cameras cable. Scientists also pulled up a tentacle触须they believ

18、e came from a jellyfish.“We were operating on the presumption that nothings there. said NASA ice scientist Robert Bindschadler. “It was a shrimp youd enjoy having on your plate.“We were just gaga狂热的over it, he said when talking about the long, orange creature starring in their two-minute video. Tech

19、nically, its not a shrimp. Its a Lyssianasid amphipod, which is distantly related to the shrimp.The video is likely to inspire experts to rethink what they know about life in harsh environments. And it has scientists thinking that if shrimp-like creatures can live below 180 meters of Antarctic ice i

20、n freezing dark water, what about other cold places? What about Europa, a frozen moon of Jupiter?Cynan Ellis Evans, a scientist of the British Antarctic Survey called the finding fascinating. He said it was possible the creatures swam in from far away and dont live there permanently.But Kim, who is

21、a co-author of the study, doubts it. “The site in West Antarctica is at least 19 km from open seas. Bindschadler drilled a 20 cm-wide hole and was looking at a tiny amount of water. That means its unlikely that two creatures swam from great distances and were captured randomly in that small area, sh

22、e said.“Yet scientists were puzzled at what the food source would be for these creatures. While some microbes can make their own food out of chemicals in the ocean, complex life like the shrimp cant, Kim said. “So how do they survive? Thats the key question. Kim said.“Its pretty amazing when you fin

23、d a huge puzzle like that on a planet where we thought we know everything. Kim said.41Scientists had believed that harsh environments could only have been populated by .Ajellyfish Bmammals Cmicrobes Dshrimp-like creatures42According to Kim, the shrimp-like creature .Aswam great distances to Antarcti

25、ws that Lyssianasid amphipod is closely related to shrimps44The last three paragraphs suggest that .Aresearchers will look at the places the creatures came fromBice scientists will drill deeper to find more creaturesCscientists know very little about the planet they live onDfurther research will be

26、done about what the creatures live onBBeing a mother is apparently not like it was in the good old days.Todays parents yearn for the golden age that their own mothers enjoyed in the 1970s and 1980s, researchers found. Mothers have less time to themselves and feel under greater pressure to handle wor

27、k and family life than the previous generation. As a result, 88 per cent said they felt guilty about the lack of time they spent with their children.The survey of 1,000 mothers also found that more than a third said they had less time to themselves than their mothers did just three hours a week or 2

28、6 minutes a day. And 64 per cent said this was because they felt they had to go out to work, while nearly a third29 per centsaid they were under constant pressure to be the perfect mother, the report found.Other findings showed social networking and parenting websites, as well as technology such as

29、Skype, were important in providing help and support among female communities. Kate Fox, a member of the Social Issues Research Centre, which conducted the survey for Procter & Gamble, said: With increasing pressure on mothers to work a “double shift to be the perfect mother as well as a wage-earner

30、support networks are more important than ever. It comes as a separate report examining childcare in the leading industrialised nations found that working mothers in Britain spend just 81 minutes a day caring for their children as a primary activity. Mothers who stay at home, on the other hand, manag

31、e twice as much time more than two and a half hours looking after their offspring, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.Critics say the pressure on women to work long hours, and leave their offspring in the hands of nurseries or childminders, is putting the well-be

32、ing of their children at risk.The study also reveals that, despite the fact that more and more modern mothers go out to work, the burden of childcare still falls on them - even if their husband is not in work. A father who is not in work tends to spend just 63 minutes a day looking after his child -

33、 18 minutes less than a mother who goes out to work. Working fathers spare less than three quarters of an hour with their children.45What does the passage mainly talk about?AThe good old days of mothers in the 1970s and 1980s.BThe great sufferings of todays children.CThe statistics of working mother

34、s and full-time mothers.DThe big problems that todays working mothers face.46What does the underlined phrase “yearn for probably means .Ahate Bmiss Cabandon Dcontrol47Which of the following problems is NOT mentioned in the passage?ATodays mothers have less time left for their children and themselves

35、.BThe working mothers can hardly strike the balance between work and family.CMost of the mothers can not control their husbands nowadays.DModern fathers do not spend enough time with their children.48From para. 4, we can infer that .Aworking mothers can seek help on lineBSkype is a very famous exper

37、 is bad for kids mental and physical healthCnurseries or childminders are dangerous places for childrenDchildren do not like nurseries or childminders at allCXIAN - Chinas conservation work for the endangered crested ibis朱鹮is facing new challenges, including an increasing mortality rate due to inbre

38、eding, and the conflict between the need to expand natural habitats and local communities economic interests, bird experts have warned.The crested ibis, once widespread in Japan, China, Russia and the Korean Peninsula, almost became extinct in the first half of the 20th century.Before 1981, when sev

39、en crested ibis were accidentally found in Yangxian county, in Northwest Chinas Shaanxi province, academics thought the species had been extinct in China for almost 17 years.Due to the huge effort put into species protection since 1981, the number of crested ibis in China has risen to an estimated 1

40、,617, including 997 in the wild, the State Forestry Administration said at a meeting on crested ibis protection in Xian on Monday.However, although the ibis population exceeds 1,000, the birds are still not free from the threat of extinction, said Fang Shengguo, director of the State Conservation Ce

41、nter for Gene Resources of Endangered Wildlife at Zhejiang University.“Ornithologists used inbreeding in the early stages of protection so that numbers of the precious birds could increase quickly, but that method had consequences, Fang said.Studies have proved that as a result of inbreeding, creste

42、d ibis have the lowest genetic diversity of all endangered birds, Fang said.It means a high mortality rate and more physical defects for hatched chicks.“The government should collect genetic information from all crested ibis and establish a genetic database as soon as possible, then design a scienti

43、fic mating plan for the species, Fang said.So far, about 90 percent of crested ibis live in Shaanxi province, and fewer than 140 ibis live in three zoos in other parts of the country, including Beijing Zoo, according to Liu Dongping, an assistant researcher at the National Bird Banding Center of Chi

44、na, which is affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Forestry.The bird has lost the ability to migrate, he said, adding that if an unexpected natural disaster occurred in Shaanxi province or an infectious disease spread through the area, the ibis population could be greatly reduced.Experts also warned that the increased population of ibis, whether in the wild or in captivity, requir
