Thousands of people have been killed in a massive(大规模的) earthquake in Japan. The quake -- the most powerful to hit Japan in more than 100 years -- caused massive damage and many people are missing and feared dead.
The 8.9 magnitude quake struck Friday(March 11) off Japan's eastern coast, and prompted(引发) tsunami warnings(海啸警报)across the Pacific as far away as South America and the U.S. West Coast. Several days after a 8.9-magnitude earthquake and resulting 10-meter-high tsunami devastated the coastline. The United States Geological Survey says it was the fifth largest earthquake since 1900. The largest, with a 9.5 magnitude, shook Chile(智利) in 1960.
In Japan, the tsunami swept away boats, cars and hundreds of houses in coastal areas north of Tokyo. The quake shook buildings in the Japanese capital and caused several fires. All train and subway traffic in Tokyo has been stopped, and thousands of people there were unable to get back home. People are just trying to find clean water. Food supplies are running out. In the convenience stores, there are no rice balls left. There is no bottled water left. People are facing a really serious situation in the days ahead for these people that are living in areas that were only moderately(普通的) damaged. The final death toll could range from the thousands to tens of thousands, depending on how many of these communities are gone.
Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government would do everything it can to minimize(使降到最低) the effects of the disaster. And in Washington, President Obama said the United States is ready to help the people of Japan.

Since December,there have been tens of thousands of the COVID-19 cases both in and out of China,caused by a previously unknown virus:novel coronavirus.
What are they?Viruses are considered to be non-living organisms(有机物).They can't reproduce(繁殖) on their own. Instead, they invaded the cells of living organisms to reproduce, spread and take over.But the basic question is,where did viruses first come from? Until now, no clear explanation for their origin exists.
Understanding the origins of viruses means fully understanding the history of their hosts not only humans,but also bacteria,plants and other animals,which is a complicated task. However,there are three main theories to explain the origin of viruses.First,viruses started as independent organisms,then became parasites(寄生者). Second,viruses evolved(进化) from pieces of DNA or RNA that"escaped"from larger organisms.The third one is that viruses co-evolved with their host cells,which means they existed alongside these cells.
For the time being,these are only theories.The technology and proofs we have today cannot be used to test these theories and discover the most plausible explanation.Continuing studies may provide us with clearer answers.Or future studies may find that the answer is even more mysterious than it now appears.
1.What can we learn about viruses from the article?
A.They mainly infect animals and plants.
B.They are really small living organisms.
C.They are more dangerous than bacteria.
D.They can't reproduce unless they find a host cell.
2.Which of the following might explain the origin of viruses?
A.They evolved along with their host cells.
B.They evolved from the DNA or RNA in animals.
C.They evolved from the fossils of large organisms.
D.They evolved from parasites to independent organisms.
3.The underlined word"plausible"in the last paragraph probably means______.
A.creative B.reasonable
C.common D.unbelievable
4.What can we conclude from the article?
A.The author is confident about future virus research.
B.Viruses will become more like bacteria as they evolve.
C.Viruses live longer in human host cells than in animals.
D.It may take a long time to understand the origin of viruses.

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the world forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.
Animals are more than just beautiful and interesting. They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.
For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(老鹰), the farmers stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied(繁殖) quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animals or plants on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.
1.Animals are important to us mainly because____.
A.they give us a source of food | B.they are beautiful and lovely |
C.they keep the balance of nature | D.they give us a lot of pleasure |
