9、选项涂黑。AA volcanic eruption（火山喷发）in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe.Airlineshave stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean,leaving hundreds of passengersstuck in airports.Grirmsvom is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe.What makesGrimsvom different is that

10、 it lies under a huge glacier of ice up to 12 maters thick.The hotvolcano heats up the ice above it,which then forms a layer of water between the glacier and thevolcano This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano,keeping it stable,As the water flows outfrom under the glacier,the pressure lifts.

11、The lava（岩浆）from the volcano then comes up to thesurface.This is exactly what happened today.Now,airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds ofvolcanic ash.According to KLM.one of Europes biggest airlines,airplanes cannot go under thecloud or over it.Going thro

12、ugh the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplanes engines,causing damage to the plane.The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland.The volcano left ash and sharp.Glass-like rocks all over the countryside.Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop themfrom eating as

15、ng temperaturesin most of the worlds deserts.A report suggests the changes are hurting many who farm on desertedges.In West Africa,the effects are serious and making the food produced there not enough.Thoseliving in farming regions along the Sahel desert have found their arable(适于耕种的)land isdecreasi

16、ng as desert sands cover more areas.The town of Podor once was a place where grainsgrew and cattle ate grass.But now,the people who live there say food is becoming harder andharder to get.The reason is the advancing desert.Oumar Samba Kane is one of the leaders of his village.He carries a bag of gra

17、ins from aneighboring village to add to his villages nearly empty storeroom.“In the past years,we hadenough food to last a year and we would sell the surplus(剩余)to make money,”Kane said.“Nowwe do not even have enough for ourselves.”Rivers once used for fishing and watering cattle aredrying up.Pieces

18、 of green land are few and far between.Cows are basic food in the area,but nowherders(放牧人)must drive their cattle for days to look for grass.Crops have also suffered.Andfor the most part it is only older farmers,like Moussa Aliou Sow,who stay behind to try to dofarm work.“Im 67 years old,”Sow said.“

19、All I know is agriculture.There is nothing else I cando.”He says his hands are tired of growing crops on the land,which is producing less and less.There used to be rice in these fields just a few years ago.Scientists blame not only global warming,but also farming practices such as clearing treesand

24、t were quite different.Itis only recently that the true facts behind this species have been found out.Being on the southern tip of South America the Falkland Islands received few visitors.Thuseven though the first sighting of the wolves was in the year 1692,they remained very commonand tame until th

25、e settlers that finally settled on the Falklands viewed the wolves as a pestorganized attempts to poison and kill them.The last Falkland Island Wolf was shot by a hunterin1876.The Falkland Islands lie about 500 miles from the mainland of South America.This preventsthe spread of many species to it.Th

26、is allowed the wolf to develop quickly and have no innate fearof humans since they had no contact with man.They were the top predators(食肉动物)in theirenvironment and as such unafraid of anything.But how did the wolf make it to the islands?Many theories have been put forward but mostbiologists find the

27、 following two the most possible.First there is the theory that former humaninhabitant who had died or left brought the wolves to the islands.Others support the theory thatthe wolves found their way to the islands from a land bridge or floating ices.Recent furtherexaminations showed that the closest

28、 relative of the Falkland Island Wolf separated from themabout 6.7 million years ago.This puts the two species in North America due to the fact thatcanid(犬科动物)fossils have only been found in the Falkland Islands from around 3 millionyears ago.This gives a heavy blow to the human transportation theor

29、y due to the fact that humanshave only been concretely documented in South America since around 62,000 years ago.Humanity seldom realizes they have lost something special until it is already gone.This is the caseof the Falkland Island Wolf.28.What do we learn about Falkland Island Wolves?A.They were

34、screenpeople for their ability to avoid cancer.Immune cells from the best cancer fighters will be given to cancer patients，after beingmatched for the blood type，the scientists said.The scientists have discovered that a much larger population of immune cells calledgranulocytes(粒性白细胞)can also kill can

35、cer and they have shown that immune cells from somepeople may effectively fight cancer in others.The researchers took blood samples from more than 100 people and mixed their granulocyteswith cervical cancer cells.Granulocytes from one person killed around 97 percent of cancer cellswithin 24 hours.Ho

36、wever，only around 2 percent of cancer cells were killed by those from anotherhealthy individual.Last year，however，the scientists successfully treated a range of different cancers in mice byinjecting them with granulocytes from a group of mice that are completely resistant to cancer.“Our preclinical

37、tests have been successful.If this is half as effective in humans as it is inmice it could be that half of patients could be cured or at least given one to two years extra of highquality life，”Cui was quoted as saying.Everyone has some ability to fight cancer through immune cells called NK cells，whi

38、ch canidentify and kill tumors(肿瘤)although the extent of theses cells influence is not known.Cellsability to kill cancer appeared to be lower in blood samples taken from people over the age of 50and even lower in people with cancer.It also fell when people were under stress and during winter，accordi

40、s long as cancer patients have the same blood type with cancer fighters，they can be cured.33In order to treat cancer sufferers，scientists should get immune cells from _Ahealthy miceBthe best cancer fightersChealthy peopleDpatients who just get cancer34What does the underlined word“identify”in Paragr
