8、e bear cub was sick and hungry, weighing only 5 pounds and with his eyes not completely open. Eastridge called Lisa Stewart, who works at Appalachian Bear Rescue in Tennessee. Stewart always makes room for a new cub.She named the bear Miracle because she thought it was a miracle that he had survived

9、! As soon as she could, she stopped having contact with the cub so he would not become too used to humans. When the cub arrived, Stewart cleaned his eyes and put him in a house alone. Since Miracle was already 5 months old. Stewart gave him bowls of food and another bowl of a special formula(配方奶粉),

10、similar to a bear mothers milk. Sometimes, Miracle would reach his head out of his house and take some formula or food. But he wasnt eating too much.Miracle was too weak to be with other bears. So Stewart gave him a toy bear named Buddy. He took it into his house and covered it with straw(稻草). He fe

11、d Buddy, too. Stewart often found the toy covered in formula and berries and its ears full of apple chunks. Now that Miracle had Buddy, he came out of his house more often and wanted to eat.After two months, Stewart introduced Miracle to other bears so they could learn from one another. She avoided

12、any direct contact with Miracle and the other bears. Stewart wanted to make sure they stayed afraid of humans so they could go back into the wild again.

Theyve only ever been spotted on bones, which makes some scientists think that the bone-eaters are specialized to liv

17、e in odd ecosystems, such as whale falls. “Those kinds of animals are definitely uniquely adapted to the environment in which you find them,”says marine biologist River Dixon. She is a graduate student at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. But as recent experiments show, the bone-eaters may n

18、ot be picky about what type of bones they devour(吞食). Last year, biologists spotted Osedax worms in the Gulf of Mexico for the first time. And not on whale bones. Dixon was part of a research team that made the discovery. In early 2019, her group put the dead bodies of three alligators(短吻鳄)in water

19、about 2 kilometers deep. Over the next few months, they sent a remote-controlled vehicle a few times to spy on what were essentially “alligator falls”. 51 days after the alligators were placed in the seawater, scientists revisited. “The flesh was gone”, Dixon says. . “It had been reduced to just the

20、 skeleton(骨骼).” And just as at whale falls, it hosted a carpet of bone-eating Osedax worms. These worms were similar to other bone-eaters but represented a never-before observed species. That means the scientists who found them get to name it (although Dixon says they havent settled on a name yet).

21、The lab where Dixon works studies food systems in the deep ocean. Algae and plants use photosynthesis(光合作用)to turn sunlight into food. Animals eat those plants and algae to survive. Then larger animals may eat those animals. But sunlight doesnt reach the deep oceans bottom. So other pathways are ess

22、ential. These pathways include whale falls and other dead bodies. The scientists wondered how alligator falls fit into a larger food web. To find out, they submerged them. Studying alligator falls, Dixon says, could help show how life evolved(进化)in the deep sea. Its possible that the creatures found

23、 on whale falls and other falls today, Dixon says, evolved from creatures that hundreds of millions of years ago would have devoured plesiosaur (蛇颈龙) falls.8.What do we know about Osedax worms?A. They depend on bones for survival.B. They are newly evolved creatures.C. They are used to clean the ocea

24、n.D. They prefer to live with whale falls.9.Why were the dead bodies of three alligators handled that way?A. To analyze the ocean food chain.B. To observe how deep they would fall.C. To research on the structure of alligators.D. To learn what would feed on their bones.10.What does the underlined wor

25、d “submerged” in the last but one paragraph mean?A. Considered.B. Required.C. Sank.D. Buried.11.What does Dixon stress in the end?A. The pressure on creatures to have food.B. The importance of studying falls in the ocean.C. The consequence of consuming plesiosaur falls.D. The influence of plesiosaur

26、 falls on the ecosystem.D43-year-old John Chadwick started live-streaming (直播) life of the birds with their chicks. But just weeks after uploading the videos to YouTube, he gained millions of views from around the world. John said, To think that tens of millions of people have been watching the bird

27、s from around the world is just incredible and quite overwhelming.The sound engineer bought the bird box by accident.

Now despite the huge global success of the videos, John is unlikely to make e

30、nough for a nest egg of his own. He still needs to struggle for his family. But some people say they find it quite relaxing and genuinely fascinated by Johns videos. He said, My personal challenge to myself was to get out of my comfortable zone. And I enjoy exploring new areas. But I keep in mind th

36、ers are men, more women are joining. _19_ For example, smokejumpers employed in the US must be 120 to 200 pounds so they dont get blown away by the strong winds or get hurt when they land. Smokejumpers must also be capable of surviving in the wilderness. In Russia, many smokejumpers know how to find

37、 food in the forest and even make simple furniture from trees. _20_ But for these firefighters, smokejumping isnt just a job. They love being able to jump out of planes, fight fires, and live in the forest. As 28-year-old Russian smokejumper Alexi Tishin says, This is the best job for tough guys. A.
