Aristtle was amng the first thinkers t becme interested in the red snw n Munt Parnassus in the 4th century BC. The Greek philspher wed the clur t hairy wrms living in freezing cnditins at high altitude. The phenmenn has puzzled scientists ever since. Nw a team f French researchers find that snw is getting redder all the time.
The red is indeed prduced by rganisms in the snw - nt by hairy wrms, but by micralgae(微藻类)that inhabit ecsystems up t 3, 000 metres abve sea level. The micralgae that are green and invisible in the winter becme laded with pigments(色素)in the summer which prtect them frm the sun, turning the snw reddish. It's when the sun's rays becme strng that the micralgae create a prtective layer f red mlecules(分子) that are like a sun cream.
The researchers say n their website, “The appearance f ‘red snws’ seems t be mre and mre frequent at high altitudes, as well as in the Arctic and Antarctic regins.” One explanatin fr the spread f red snws culd be glbal warming, the scientists say. Micralgae capture carbn dixide when expsed t light, turning it int rganic matter and placing it at the fundatin f ecsystems in sil, water and snw. With climate change, the amunt f carbn dixide in the atmsphere is increasing. “It is therefre expected that certain micralgae respnd psitively t this increase, behaving as markers f climate change,” the website says.
Yet scientists are unsure abut what impact the micralgae have n melting glaciers and snw. They suspect that because the red pigments absrb the heat they are accelerating envirnmental change. “Even if it is fantastic t see micralgae develping in the snw, ne f the cnsequences is... the disappearance f their envirnment,” the researchers added.
8. What caused the red snw accrding t the Greek philspher?
A. High altitude.B. A kind f wrms.
C. The micralgae.D. The freezing cnditins
9. Why d the micralgae turn red in the summer?
A. T generate a sun cream.
B. T be laded with pigments.
C. T attract peple's attentin.
D. T defend themselves frm the sun.
10. What can we learn abut the red snw in paragraph 3?
A. It can cntribute t glbal warming.
B. It can indicate the rise f carbn dixide.
C. It increases carbn dixide in ecsystems.
D. It disappears frm the Arctic and Antarctic regins.
11. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Red snw sends a warning.
B. Micralgae grw in red snw.
C. Micralgae stand climate change.
D. Red snw dances at high altitude.

The U. S. Fd and Drug Administratin (FDA） has apprved a debatable Alzheimer's treatment, the first that prmises t slw the disease's destructin in the brain.
The drug, aducanumab, is als the first new Alzheimer's treatment apprved since 2003.Hwever, in 2019, aducanumab was nearly abandned after it appeared unlikely t succeed in tw clinical trials. But after reanalyzing mre data, the drug's develper Bigen saw signs indicating the drug might wrk, and decided t pursue FDA apprval.
Still, tday's decisin cncerns sme dctrs and scientists because they aren't cnvinced that the drug actually wrks. Apprving a drug that's nt effective wuld ffer patients false hpe, thse experts argue. “This is a great day fr Bigen but a dark day fr the field f Alzheimer's research,” says Michael Greicius, a neurlgist at Stanfrd. Pushing frward n the “illusin f prgress,” he says, “will cme at a cst t genuine prgress in finding an effective treatment fr this destructive disease.”
Others disagree that the evidence is slim, and are excited abut having a new tl t fight a disease that has escaped an effective treatment fr s lng. “We have been waiting decades fr this,” says Maria Carrill, an expert at the Alzheimer's Assciatin. A drug that delays decline due t Alzheimer's prmises patients “t sustain independence and t hld nt memries lnger,” she says.
The drug targets the sticky prtein—A-beta（淀粉样蛋白). Sme researchers suspect that in Alzheimer's, A-beta cnfuses cnnectins between nerve cells and damages brain tissue, ultimately causing Alzheimer's symptms. But that idea is still unsettled. Brain scans reveal that aducanumab is effective at reducing A-beta in the brain. What's less clear is whether this reductin cmes with cnsistent imprvements in peple's quality f life.
12. What des paragraph 2 mainly tell us abut aducanumab?
A. Its bitter failure in clinical trials.
B. Its tugh path t getting recgnized.
C. Its medical value in treating Alzheimer's.
D. Its challenging prcess f being prduced.
13. What des the underlined wrd “illusin” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Prf.B. Significance.C. Prspect.D. Misunderstanding.
14. What is Maria Carrill's attitude tward aducanumab?
A. Uncncerned.B. Dubtful.C. Psitive.D. Intlerant.
15. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. A-beta in human bdy shuld be remved.
B. Aducanumab has ptentially serius side effects.
C. A-beta's decrease imprves peple's quality f life.
D. Further tests n aducanumab need t be carried ut.

Aristtle was amng the first thinkers t becme interested in the red snw n Munt Parnassus in the 4th century BC. The Greek philspher wed the clur t hairy wrms living in freezing cnditins at high altitude. The phenmenn has puzzled scientists ever since. Nw a team f French researchers find that snw is getting redder all the time.
The red is indeed prduced by rganisms in the snw - nt by hairy wrms, but by micralgae(微藻类)that inhabit ecsystems up t 3, 000 metres abve sea level. The micralgae that are green and invisible in the winter becme laded with pigments(色素)in the summer which prtect them frm the sun, turning the snw reddish. It's when the sun's rays becme strng that the micralgae create a prtective layer f red mlecules(分子) that are like a sun cream.
The researchers say n their website, “The appearance f ‘red snws’ seems t be mre and mre frequent at high altitudes, as well as in the Arctic and Antarctic regins.” One explanatin fr the spread f red snws culd be glbal warming, the scientists say. Micralgae capture carbn dixide when expsed t light, turning it int rganic matter and placing it at the fundatin f ecsystems in sil, water and snw. With climate change, the amunt f carbn dixide in the atmsphere is increasing. “It is therefre expected that certain micralgae respnd psitively t this increase, behaving as markers f climate change,” the website says.
Yet scientists are unsure abut what impact the micralgae have n melting glaciers and snw. They suspect that because the red pigments absrb the heat they are accelerating envirnmental change. “Even if it is fantastic t see micralgae develping in the snw, ne f the cnsequences is... the disappearance f their envirnment,” the researchers added.
8. What caused the red snw accrding t the Greek philspher?
A. High altitude.B. A kind f wrms.
C. The micralgae.D. The freezing cnditins
9. Why d the micralgae turn red in the summer?
A. T generate a sun cream.
B. T be laded with pigments.
C. T attract peple's attentin.
D. T defend themselves frm the sun.
10. What can we learn abut the red snw in paragraph 3?
A. It can cntribute t glbal warming.
B. It can indicate the rise f carbn dixide.
C. It increases carbn dixide in ecsystems.
D. It disappears frm the Arctic and Antarctic regins.
11. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Red snw sends a warning.
B. Micralgae grw in red snw.
C. Micralgae stand climate change.
D. Red snw dances at high altitude.

The U. S. Fd and Drug Administratin (FDA） has apprved a debatable Alzheimer's treatment, the first that prmises t slw the disease's destructin in the brain.
The drug, aducanumab, is als the first new Alzheimer's treatment apprved since 2003.Hwever, in 2019, aducanumab was nearly abandned after it appeared unlikely t succeed in tw clinical trials. But after reanalyzing mre data, the drug's develper Bigen saw signs indicating the drug might wrk, and decided t pursue FDA apprval.
Still, tday's decisin cncerns sme dctrs and scientists because they aren't cnvinced that the drug actually wrks. Apprving a drug that's nt effective wuld ffer patients false hpe, thse experts argue. “This is a great day fr Bigen but a dark day fr the field f Alzheimer's research,” says Michael Greicius, a neurlgist at Stanfrd. Pushing frward n the “illusin f prgress,” he says, “will cme at a cst t genuine prgress in finding an effective treatment fr this destructive disease.”
Others disagree that the evidence is slim, and are excited abut having a new tl t fight a disease that has escaped an effective treatment fr s lng. “We have been waiting decades fr this,” says Maria Carrill, an expert at the Alzheimer's Assciatin. A drug that delays decline due t Alzheimer's prmises patients “t sustain independence and t hld nt memries lnger,” she says.
The drug targets the sticky prtein—A-beta（淀粉样蛋白). Sme researchers suspect that in Alzheimer's, A-beta cnfuses cnnectins between nerve cells and damages brain tissue, ultimately causing Alzheimer's symptms. But that idea is still unsettled. Brain scans reveal that aducanumab is effective at reducing A-beta in the brain. What's less clear is whether this reductin cmes with cnsistent imprvements in peple's quality f life.
12. What des paragraph 2 mainly tell us abut aducanumab?
A. Its bitter failure in clinical trials.
B. Its tugh path t getting recgnized.
C. Its medical value in treating Alzheimer's.
D. Its challenging prcess f being prduced.
13. What des the underlined wrd “illusin” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Prf.B. Significance.C. Prspect.D. Misunderstanding.
14. What is Maria Carrill's attitude tward aducanumab?
A. Uncncerned.B. Dubtful.C. Psitive.D. Intlerant.
15. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. A-beta in human bdy shuld be remved.
B. Aducanumab has ptentially serius side effects.
C. A-beta's decrease imprves peple's quality f life.
D. Further tests n aducanumab need t be carried ut.

When a sad Craig returned t Clrad, he called the Denver Z abut taking the animals, but Denver's zkeepers als had a surplus. Then it ccurred t him: Perhaps he culd bring the animals t the family farm.

After abut five years, he bught a secnd, larger prperty befre mving t the shelter's current lcatin nrtheast f Denver.

Althugh he was riginally unwilling, Craig nw sees it as an pprtunity t educate mre peple. “We want the public t knw, if they hear abut sme guy driving arund in his Ferrari with a tiger r a lin, they shuld say, What are yu ding? That animal is ging t end up dead r in sme dirty radside z.” The shelter receives 150,000 guests a year.

Aristtle was amng the first thinkers t becme interested in the red snw n Munt Parnassus in the 4th century BC. The Greek philspher wed the clur t hairy wrms living in freezing cnditins at high altitude. The phenmenn has puzzled scientists ever since. Nw a team f French researchers find that snw is getting redder all the time.
The red is indeed prduced by rganisms in the snw - nt by hairy wrms, but by micralgae(微藻类)that inhabit ecsystems up t 3, 000 metres abve sea level. The micralgae that are green and invisible in the winter becme laded with pigments(色素)in the summer which prtect them frm the sun, turning the snw reddish. It's when the sun's rays becme strng that the micralgae create a prtective layer f red mlecules(分子) that are like a sun cream.
The researchers say n their website, “The appearance f ‘red snws’ seems t be mre and mre frequent at high altitudes, as well as in the Arctic and Antarctic regins.” One explanatin fr the spread f red snws culd be glbal warming, the scientists say. Micralgae capture carbn dixide when expsed t light, turning it int rganic matter and placing it at the fundatin f ecsystems in sil, water and snw. With climate change, the amunt f carbn dixide in the atmsphere is increasing. “It is therefre expected that certain micralgae respnd psitively t this increase, behaving as markers f climate change,” the website says.
Yet scientists are unsure abut what impact the micralgae have n melting glaciers and snw. They suspect that because the red pigments absrb the heat they are accelerating envirnmental change. “Even if it is fantastic t see micralgae develping in the snw, ne f the cnsequences is... the disappearance f their envirnment,” the researchers added.
8. What caused the red snw accrding t the Greek philspher?
A. High altitude.B. A kind f wrms.
C. The micralgae.D. The freezing cnditins
9. Why d the micralgae turn red in the summer?
A. T generate a sun cream.
B. T be laded with pigments.
C. T attract peple's attentin.
D. T defend themselves frm the sun.
10. What can we learn abut the red snw in paragraph 3?
A. It can cntribute t glbal warming.
B. It can indicate the rise f carbn dixide.
C. It increases carbn dixide in ecsystems.
D. It disappears frm the Arctic and Antarctic regins.
11. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Red snw sends a warning.
B. Micralgae grw in red snw.
C. Micralgae stand climate change.
D. Red snw dances at high altitude.

The U. S. Fd and Drug Administratin (FDA） has apprved a debatable Alzheimer's treatment, the first that prmises t slw the disease's destructin in the brain.
The drug, aducanumab, is als the first new Alzheimer's treatment apprved since 2003.Hwever, in 2019, aducanumab was nearly abandned after it appeared unlikely t succeed in tw clinical trials. But after reanalyzing mre data, the drug's develper Bigen saw signs indicating the drug might wrk, and decided t pursue FDA apprval.
Still, tday's decisin cncerns sme dctrs and scientists because they aren't cnvinced that the drug actually wrks. Apprving a drug that's nt effective wuld ffer patients false hpe, thse experts argue. “This is a great day fr Bigen but a dark day fr the field f Alzheimer's research,” says Michael Greicius, a neurlgist at Stanfrd. Pushing frward n the “illusin f prgress,” he says, “will cme at a cst t genuine prgress in finding an effective treatment fr this destructive disease.”
Others disagree that the evidence is slim, and are excited abut having a new tl t fight a disease that has escaped an effective treatment fr s lng. “We have been waiting decades fr this,” says Maria Carrill, an expert at the Alzheimer's Assciatin. A drug that delays decline due t Alzheimer's prmises patients “t sustain independence and t hld nt memries lnger,” she says.
The drug targets the sticky prtein—A-beta（淀粉样蛋白). Sme researchers suspect that in Alzheimer's, A-beta cnfuses cnnectins between nerve cells and damages brain tissue, ultimately causing Alzheimer's symptms. But that idea is still unsettled. Brain scans reveal that aducanumab is effective at reducing A-beta in the brain. What's less clear is whether this reductin cmes with cnsistent imprvements in peple's quality f life.
12. What des paragraph 2 mainly tell us abut aducanumab?
A. Its bitter failure in clinical trials.
B. Its tugh path t getting recgnized.
C. Its medical value in treating Alzheimer's.
D. Its challenging prcess f being prduced.
13. What des the underlined wrd “illusin” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Prf.B. Significance.C. Prspect.D. Misunderstanding.
14. What is Maria Carrill's attitude tward aducanumab?
A. Uncncerned.B. Dubtful.C. Psitive.D. Intlerant.
15. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. A-beta in human bdy shuld be remved.
B. Aducanumab has ptentially serius side effects.
C. A-beta's decrease imprves peple's quality f life.
D. Further tests n aducanumab need t be carried ut.

The U. S. Fd and Drug Administratin (FDA） has apprved a debatable Alzheimer's treatment, the first that prmises t slw the disease's destructin in the brain.
The drug, aducanumab, is als the first new Alzheimer's treatment apprved since 2003.Hwever, in 2019, aducanumab was nearly abandned after it appeared unlikely t succeed in tw clinical trials. But after reanalyzing mre data, the drug's develper Bigen saw signs indicating the drug might wrk, and decided t pursue FDA apprval.
Still, tday's decisin cncerns sme dctrs and scientists because they aren't cnvinced that the drug actually wrks. Apprving a drug that's nt effective wuld ffer patients false hpe, thse experts argue. “This is a great day fr Bigen but a dark day fr the field f Alzheimer's research,” says Michael Greicius, a neurlgist at Stanfrd. Pushing frward n the “illusin f prgress,” he says, “will cme at a cst t genuine prgress in finding an effective treatment fr this destructive disease.”
Others disagree that the evidence is slim, and are excited abut having a new tl t fight a disease that has escaped an effective treatment fr s lng. “We have been waiting decades fr this,” says Maria Carrill, an expert at the Alzheimer's Assciatin. A drug that delays decline due t Alzheimer's prmises patients “t sustain independence and t hld nt memries lnger,” she says.
The drug targets the sticky prtein—A-beta（淀粉样蛋白). Sme researchers suspect that in Alzheimer's, A-beta cnfuses cnnectins between nerve cells and damages brain tissue, ultimately causing Alzheimer's symptms. But that idea is still unsettled. Brain scans reveal that aducanumab is effective at reducing A-beta in the brain. What's less clear is whether this reductin cmes with cnsistent imprvements in peple's quality f life.
12. What des paragraph 2 mainly tell us abut aducanumab?
A. Its bitter failure in clinical trials.
B. Its tugh path t getting recgnized.
C. Its medical value in treating Alzheimer's.
D. Its challenging prcess f being prduced.
13. What des the underlined wrd “illusin” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Prf.B. Significance.C. Prspect.D. Misunderstanding.
14. What is Maria Carrill's attitude tward aducanumab?
A. Uncncerned.B. Dubtful.C. Psitive.D. Intlerant.
15. What can we infer frm the last paragraph?
A. A-beta in human bdy shuld be remved.
B. Aducanumab has ptentially serius side effects.
C. A-beta's decrease imprves peple's quality f life.
D. Further tests n aducanumab need t be carried ut.
