8、earthly sound.“Like a cry for help,” he told the Dodo.It was December 2019,and about 15 feet from the frozen banks was the source of that crya half-submerged brown-and-white wirehaired hound(猎犬),struggling to hold to a thin layer of ice.How she got there no one knows,but an elderly man was already o

9、n the scene.Hed entered the pond in a rowboat and was trying hard to cut the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog.It was slow going,and Arens,44,thought he stood a better chance.“Animals are my weakness,” he told the Great Falls Tribune,explaining why he took off his clothes without hesitatio

10、n,even though the temperature was very low,and took over the rowboat.His heart thumping,Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other mans rock to smash away at the ice.He gave one strong hit and slipped off the boat,falling into 16 feet of freezing water.He resurfaced in time to see the dog going

11、 under.Using nervous energy to keep warm,he swam about five feet toward her,took hold of her collar,and pulled her to the ice.He then lifted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore,where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the elderly man,a retired veterinarian.Once in the

12、house himself,Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both felt warm.A few more minutes in the pond,the vet told Arens,and she would have likely suffered cardiac arrest(心脏骤停).The next day,Arens was back working the same neighbourhood when the dogs owner came over to thank him for sav

16、British music,for the most part they think about the 60s or 70s with the likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones or more modern artists like Adele or Ed Sheeran.However,stuck between these two ages was,in my opinion,British musics best period.The 90s were an optimistic time for Britain and indee

17、d Europe,with the economy recovering from the lows of the 80s and the Cold War ending.One of the defining features of 90s music was the birth of “Britpop”.This was a style of pop music that aimed to promote “Britishness” and commonly featured electric guitars,drums and male singers.Britpop was the s

18、tyle used by world-famous bands such as Oasis,Blur,Pulp and Suede who became known as “The Big Four”.The summer of 1995 was dominated by the “Battle of Britpop” which was between Blur and Oasis for the number one spot.Eventually,Blur won the battle and Oasis settled for second.However,the 90s werent

19、 only for the boys,with major female groups also finding fame,the most well-known of which were “the Spice Girls” who were extremely popular in Britain and around the world.Once again they promoted “Britishness” and had catchy melodies and lyrics,but they also started the “Girl Power” movement which

20、 helped empower girls and women worldwide.It isnt too far to assume that without their music,many female singers and artists who we love today would not have had the confidence to pursue their dream.British music may have had many great times,however the 90s are often overlooked.Although I was not a

21、live to enjoy the music properly,the 90s had a huge impact on British culture that can be felt today and I feel that the decade should get the recognition it deserves!8.What can we infer from the first paragraph?A.The Cold War came to an end in the 80s.B.Britains economy began to pick up in the 90s.

24、vival.Weighing up to 4 kilograms,it is the worlds fattest parrot.It mates(交配) only when the rimu tree is in fruit,which happens every few years.It developed gradually in the absence of land-based natural enemies,so instead of flying above the trees it walks like a duck across the dry forest floor.Wh

25、en it moves unsteadily across something that might kill it,it will stand still.Such unusual characteristics turned it into fast food for human settlers,and for the cats and rats they brought with them.It seemed to have disappeared by the 1970s,until scientists came across two undiscovered population

26、s in the countrys south.These survivors were eventually moved to small enemy-free islands,where researchers have spent decades trying to get them to breed(繁殖).The scientists patience is finally rewarded.The rimu was in fruit this year,and more than 80 chicks hatched,making this the best breeding sea

27、son on record.Many have survived into adolescence,increasing the number of adult kakapos by a third,to 200 birds.Another danger to the kakapo is a lack of genetic diversity.This is one reason why fewer than half of kakapo eggs hatch.By arranging the genome(基因组) of every living bird,scientists can id

28、entify closely-related individuals and put them on different islands.Every bird is fitted with something to track its slightest movement.If a female mates with an “unsuitable” male,the process can be stopped.All these efforts cost almost New Zealand $1.3 million this breeding season.Yet the kakapos
