This summer we witnessed interview teams at the North Pole wearing short sleeve shirts，due to the warm weather.A study published on Aug 29 revealed more concerning issues in the supposedly coldest area of the world.Zombie ice（僵尸冰） from a massive Greenland ice sheet was confirmed to be melting，which would finally raise global sea levels by at least 10 inches on its own，reported Associated Press（AP）.
   Zombie ice is the kind of ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice，but is no longer getting fed by larger glaciers（冰川）.Since glaciers are getting less snow to complement the amount of ice melted，once the zombie ice is melted，it cannot be re-formed.
   Scientists decided to look at the balance of the ice.In perfect balance，snow in the mountains of Greenland flows down and thickens the sides of glaciers，balancing out what's meeting on the edges，according to AP.Bot in the last few decades，there is less refill and more melting，creating an imbalance.
   Study co-author William Colgan at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland told AP that 3.3 percent of Greenland's total ice volume would melt eventually."Hunger"would be a good phrase for what's happening to the ice，Colgan added.
   With a great number of natural resources buried under the earth，areas of melted ice revealed treasures that attracted the world's richest men.According to CNN，in early August.there was a"treasure hunt"in Greenland.Billionaires，including Bill Gates and others，financially backed KoBold Metals，a US-based mineral exploration company，to explore the rare metals under the glaciers in Greenland.The company told CNN that since there were enough minerals.to power hundreds of millions of electric vehicles，the critical resource is capable of powering the green energy transition.
   While investors are taking advantage of global warming，experts express their concerns that the mineral exploration is likely to worsen the local environment，draining（榨干） up the world's resources at a faster rate.

C
C

A．It was caused by warm weather.
B．It increased by at least 10 inches.
C．It started to become less.
D．It no longer existed.

B．3.3 percent of the ice in the world would melt.

D．Melting only happened on the edge of the glaciers.
（3）What can be inferred about the mineral exploration？
D
D

A．It was started by Bill Gates.
B．It was environmentally friendly.
C．It has drained up the world's resources.
D．All people are not in support of it.
（4）Which is the most suitable title for the text？

1．    Forecasters say Floridians should monitor a system likely to become a tropical depression（熱帶低壓）as it moves into the Gulf of Mexico by early next week.
   The area of low pressure over the northwestern Caribbean Sea was producing showers and thunderstorms，according to a Friday evening update from the National Hurricane Center.Condition s favor slow development over the next several days，and forecasters expect the system will become a tropical depression early next week while moving north over the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
   Michael Brennan，the National Hurricane Center director，said in a live video Friday， "There is a lot of uncertainty with this system since it's yet to take shape.What we're most confident in is that there will likely be some rainfall impacts across much of the Florida Peninsula and possibly up along the southeast coast of the United States."
   The potential threat for Florida would come around on Tuesday，said Brian McNoldy，a researcher at the University of Miami.McNoldy added that global models were in agreement that the system would develop slowly.The hurricane center on Friday gave the system the temporary name of Invest 93 L，meaning forecasters would collect specialized data and run more models.
   According to Mark Luther，a professor at the University of South Florida，tropical systems like to feed off that hot water，especially when it's hot below the surface like it is now. "Keep a sharp eye on it and have your hurricane plan in place，" Luther said. "Even if it's a small storm，if it hits at the right angle，it can cause flooding around here."
   Storms that cross through this steamy section of the eastern Gulf of Mexico have historically intensified（增強）quickly.Hurricane Michael in 2018 emerged off the Yucatán Peninsula before ultimately making landfall as a Category 5 storm in Florida's Panhandle.

（1）What did Brennan think would most likely happen next week？

A．Water shortage.
B．Severe damage.
C．Fine weather.
D．Heavy rainfall.
（2）What did Luther probably expect people to do？

A．Ask for clear guidance.
B．Be watchful about possible disasters.
C．Make a quick decision.
D．Send relief to flood victims at once.
（3）Why does the author mention Hurricane Michael？

A．To express his heartfelt thanks for the rescue effort.
B．To erase scientists' doubts about these global models.
C．To prove the weather forecast is timely and accurate.
D．To explain the tropical system may bring heavy storm.
（4）What is the text？

A．A news report.
B．A diary entry.
C．A children's story.
D．A research paper.
