22、Unsolved Mysteries About the Planet Earth

♦ Mystery 1: Where did all the water come from?

Water covers 70 percent of Earth’s surface and earns it the nickname “the blue planet”. But where did it come from? The most popular scientific theory states that the H2O came from several violent asteroids (小行星) filled with ice. Another suggests that the water actually has been around since Earth’s formation. However it happened, though, it’s certainly worked out well for Earth’s life forms.

♦ Mystery 2: What about all the oxygen?

Another thing is the planet’s oxygen. Tiny creatures released oxygen as a waste product, filling the atmosphere with it. After that, the level of oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere went wildly up and down until it finally calmed down around 540 million years ago. Since then, it’s remained at about the breathable level we experience today. But what caused it to be suddenly steady?

♦ Mystery 3: What caused the Cambrian (寒武纪) Explosion?

The Cambrian Explosion refers to the explosion of complex life forms that occurred on Earth about 540 million years ago. Before then, life had consisted mostly of bacteria. But at the beginning of the Cambrian period, complex creatures began developing at a rate never seen before. Suddenly, life forms had brains, eyes, and bones. Most living creatures today can trace their blood back to the Cambrian period.

♦ Mystery 4: Will we ever be able to predict earthquakes?

We still haven’t been able to come up with a way to accurately predict earthquakes. We can certainly try, but our current technology cannot predict them exactly. We know that earthquakes start when rocks crack underground and send earthquake waves toward the surface, but we haven’t figured out why that happens, or how to predict it.

【1】What was created later by creatures on Earth?

A.Oxygen. B.Water. C.Bacteria. D.Ice.

【2】Which of the following is true according to the text?

A.Earth is called the blue star because of water coverage.

B.The level of oxygen has been steady all the time.

C.Complex creatures had rapid development in the Cambrian period.

D.We know nothing about predicting earthquakes.

【3】What do we know about Mystery 4?

A.It is the oldest mystery of the four.

B.It will be solved in the near future.

C.It is the most difficult mystery to solve of the four.

D.It is a matter that has extremely practical significance.

24、Europe loves bicycle

Cycling isn’t always easy. Busy streets, noisy horns, and inadequate bike lanes and parking areas can make it an uphill battle. But not even these difficulties can stop Europeans passion for cycling. According to BBC,bicycles outsold cars in 26 of the European Union’s 28 states last year.

In some European countries just like Denmark and the Netherlands, people really love bicycles.

But BBC reported that Spain is also embracing bicycling: for the first time on record, bicycles outsold cars in the country in 2012.

And it’s becoming a continent-wide phenomenon. “people ride to work and take their bikes to the grocery

store,” Bill Strickland, executive editor of Bicycling magazine, told Reuters.

So what has led to cycling’s growing popularity in Europe?

“Cycling is a safe, clean, healthy way to get around,” the Daily Star concluded. “it not only reduces traffic congestion and pollution, abut also contributes to public health.”

Bike-friendly policies have also contributed to the phenomenon.

Dozens of cities have joined a European Union initiative(倡议) to make bicycles on the par with (与......平分秋色) cars as a form of urban transport. Quite a few cities such as Stockholm, London, Florence and Munich now offer extensive networks of well-marked bike lanes.

Copenhagen take it as a step future by keeping bicycles and motor vehicles physically separate as much as possible. On these routes, stoplights are adjusted to the rhythms of bicycles, not cars. And the routs are lined with bicycle pump stations that are designed to the Daily Star.

For people living far from city centers, getting to work by bicycles alone may not be time-efficient. That’s why many European countries now allow cyclists to bring their bicycles onto subway trains.

Europeans are also creative in solving parking problems. The Daily Star reported that Amsterdam has come up with a high-tech solution: you lock your bike to a rack (架子), which then revolves underground. When you want your bike back, the rack rotates (旋转) it back to the surface.

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

A. In Denmark, all bike lanes are separated from motorized traffic.

B. In Copenhagen, cyclists are given priority (优先) over drivers in many traffic situations.

C. Bicycles are not allowed to be taken onto subway trains in most European countries.

D. Amsterdam’s cycling network and underground parking system is the most advanced in the world.

【2】The underlined word “embracing” in Para3 is closest in the meaning to _____.

A. getting worries about

B. taking little interest in

C. accepting gladly

D. including as a part of something larger

【3】What’s the purpose of the underlined sentence?

A. It shows the popularity of bicycles.

B. It shows why people dislike bicycles.

C. It serves as an introduction of why Europeans like bicycles.

D. It serves as a warning of difficulty in riding a bicycle.

【4】More and more Europeans prefer bicycles because ________.

A. They think cycling is a safe, clean, healthy, inexpensive way to get around.

B. Cars are usually caught in traffic jams.

C. Governments require them to do so.

D. It is convenient to park their bicycles.
