21．Unsolved Mysteries About the Planet Earth Mystery 1：Where did water come from？
Water covers more than 70 percent of the Earth's surface and that makes the Earth earn the nickname "the blue planet".Then where did water come from？The most popular scientific theory states that the H2 came from several violent asteroids（小行星）covered with ice.Another suggests that the water actually has been around since the Earth's formation.However it happened，though，it's certainly worked out well for the Earth 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 the 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 know today.But what caused it to be suddenly steady？
? Mystery 3：What caused the Cambrian（寒武紀(jì)）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 microbes.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 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 the rock cracks underground and the enormous energy released in the process causes vibration，which generates earthquake waves，but we haven't figured out why that happens，or how to predict it.
（1）What was created by creatures on Earth？
A．Water.
B．Bacterium.
C．Oxygen.
D．Ice.
（2）Which of the following talks about the Earth's advanced species？
A．Mystery 1.
B．Mystery 2.
C．Mystery 4.
D．Mystery 3.
（3）What do we know about Mystery 4？
A．It is a matter that has extremely practical significance.
B．It will be solved in the near future.
C．It is the most difficult mystery to solve of the four.
D．It is the oldest mystery of the four.組卷：8引用：1難度：0.5 -
22．As a freshman，the start of high school was a bit strange.From harder classes to strange hallways，we surely are the new kids of the school.We have just survived our first full week of Hawthorne High School （HHS） and here are some of our thoughts on our experiences：
Upon entering our new home away from home，we were happily greeted by the seniors，who cheered as we walked through the school gate.We were given new information about the next four years of our lives.At the end of the week we experienced our first pep rally （動員會），where we received a warm welcome from the upperclassmen.Many things are different here than they were at middle school，and it has taken some getting used to.
For example，we have rotating drop schedules （輪換的課表） with different classes，in a different order each day.There are also two lunchrooms for all the students to eat in，and depending on our schedule for that day，we either have an early or late lunch.In these lunchrooms，we are allowed to use our phones.
Most of the lockers in the freshman hallway don't have a shelf in them，but they are more spacious than the ones at middle school.Another difference is that you can share a class with someone in a different grade.Teachers here also like you to use a binder （活頁夾），not a notebook.Besides，we have the chance to join a lot of different clubs including Journalism and Broadcasting.
As you can see，HHS has offered us many wonderful chances and we are trusted to do more things.Being a freshman at HHS is an amazing experience.

D．HHS freshmen's first high school day.組卷：1引用：2難度：0.5 -
23．Mother Nature is a cruel mistress.Why？Read on to find the answer.
Venice
This iconic city is sinking rapidly.The canals that make up the streets of Venice rise 2mm every year，making relics of history go under the surface of water and destroying architecture.Experts warn that without intervention（干預(yù)），this city will disappear back into the water at an even faster rate，consumed by rising sea level from melting polar ice caps.
Machu Picchu
These iconic ruins have drawn adventurous tourists into the mountains of South America.The forces of natural erosion（侵蝕）have been accelerated by tourism and this landmark faces severe influence from increasing foot traffic.The Peruvian government recently suggested a cable car that would cut out the intense hike up to the ruins，making the site instantly accessible to millions but the future of Machu Picchu remains uncertain.
Glacier National park
Perhaps you've heard that the ice caps are melting.But nowhere is more apparent in the United States than in Glacier National Park.Estimates indicate that the glaciers that are part of the beauty of this national landmark will disappear entirely in the next two decades.
The Great Barrier Reef
Hidden from view beneath the waves，the Great Barrier Reef has been rapidly dying off.Nearly fifty percent of coral which once occupied a large area is gone，destroyed by pollution and disease.

D．They're all well-known for natural scenery.組卷：355引用：2難度：0.7 -
24．Eating spicy foods frequently may be tied to a slightly lower risk of an earlier death，according to a new study.However，more research is needed to confirm the link，experts say.
The researchers found that the people in the study who ate spicy foods one or two days a week were 10 percent less likely to die during the study，compared with those who ate spicy foods less than once a week，according to the study published in the journal The BMJ.Moreover，the people in the study who ate spicy foods three or more days a week were 14 percent less likely to die during the study，compared with those who ate spicy foods less than once a week.
However，the study was observational，and so it is too early to tell whether there is a certain relationship between eating spicy foods and lower mortality，said study author Lu Qi，an associate professor at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston，Massachusetts. "We definitely need more data from other populations，" Qi told Live Science."The researchers don't know why exactly the consumption of spicy foods may be linked to the drop of early death，but previous research on cells and animals has suggested several possible connections，" Qi said.
"It is unclear whether the observed associations are the direct result of spicy foods intake，or whether spicy foods are simply a marker for other beneficial but unmeasured dietary components（成分），" said Nita Forouhi，a nutritional expert.At this point，researchers don't know for sure whether eating spicy foods can have a beneficial effect on human health and mortality，F(xiàn)orouhi wrote."Future research is needed to make sure whether spicy food consumption has the potential to improve health and reduce mortality directly，or if it is merely a marker of other dietary and lifestyle factors，" she said.
（1）Which section of a newspaper is the article probably taken from？
A．Advertisement.
B．Business.
C．Science.
D．Education.
（2）What does the underlined word "mortality" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．Death rate.
B．Living cost.
C．Physical suffering.
D．Energy requirement.
（3）What does the passage mainly tell us？
A．Link between food and health.
B．Association between a certain food and health.
C．Connection between habits and health.
D．Relation between food and health.組卷：9引用：1難度：0.5
