10、 thought our friendship meant more to you than that.” “Im sorry,” I said. But I would never give up the job because of friends.Ken and I had met in a church.

18、g at a slower speed than they did decades ago, new research shows.While having a cyclone travel with less speed may seem like a good thing, its actually just the opposite. Wind speeds within the storm remain high, but the whole system itself moves slower, allowing punishing rains to stay longer over
19、 communities. “Nothing, good comes out of a slowing storm,” says James Kossin, author of the paper. “It can increase the amount of time that buildings suffered from strong wind. And it increases rainfall.”In his paper, Kossin showed that from 1949 to 2016, tropical cyclones across the globe slowed t
20、heir movement by 10 percent on average. In some regions (地区), the speed of those storms slowed even more as they hit land. In the western North Pacific, the decrease was much more manifest almost a third. That means a storm that may already hold more moisture (水分) will have time to drop more of it i
21、n each spot.Kossins work was based on details of almost 70 years worth of storms, but he didnt try to determine what was causing the slowdown. Still, the change is exactly what he and other cyclone experts said, which would be expected from climate change. With the polar regions warming fester than
22、other parts of the globe, that is changing the pressure and reducing the winds that push these storms.Christina Patricola, a scientist, called Kossin9s work important and new and said she found it reliable. “I was not surprised by his findings,” she says. “But I was surprised by the speed of the slo
23、wdown.”Kossin hopes that scientists will begin building models that show which places are likely to face the most risk. Given that storms in some regions are moving towards polar regions and already increasing in intensity (强度), cyclones causing unusually powerful rain may threaten places not normal
24、ly in their paths. Scientists must take action to make those places suffer less from the disasters.8. Why is the decrease in cyclones speed a bad thing?A.It leads the cyclones to move faster on the ground.B.It causes the cyclones to have higher wind speed outside.C.It makes hard rains and strong win
25、d last longer in one place.D.It results in more typhoons taking place in some communities.9.What does the underlined word “manifest” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Obvious.B. Satisfying.C. Confusing.D. Impossible.10.What does Paragraph 4 suggest?A.Climate change in the polar regions is under control.B.Scient
26、ists find it hard to understand the slower cyclones.C.Scientists should do further experiments in polar regions.D.Climate change may be the cause of the slowdown of the cyclones.11. Why does Kossin want scientists to build models in the last paragraph?A.To find out the normal paths of serious cyclon
27、es.B.To prove the speed of the cyclones can be controlled.C.To reduce the damage from cyclones to possible areas.D.To call on scientists to focus on the danger of climate change.DThe ancient Herculaneum scrolls (卷轴)are thought to contain works of important thinkers in ancient Greece. But the scrolls
28、 cant be unrolled (打开). Even a light wind threatens to reduce them to dust. The reason is that they were turned into carbon by a natural disaster in A.D. 79.But now researchers from the University of Kentucky have found a way to look inside the scrolls without having to touch them. They first create
29、 a light that is 10 billion times brighter than the sun by taking advantage of a machine. Then they will use the light to go through the Herculaneum scrolls to study and finally read the words recorded on the scrolls. Researchers think it might take them six months to read the scrolls.This isnt the
30、first time researchers have tried to read the Herculaneum scrolls. Several years ago, scientists from the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) worked on uncovering the mystery using an X-ray beam 100 billion times brighter than anything used in a hospital, This didnt allow scientists to ac
31、tually read the scrolls, but it allowed them to make one surprising discovery. The scrolls were written in metallic (金属的) ink, a writing technology that scientists didnt know existed at the time the scrolls were penned.“For a long time, we thought our studies have let us know everything about the an
32、cient ink used to write on scrolls. Now we find its not the case. This shows that we should tell ourselves it may not be true when thinking we fully know something once some research is done,” said Daniel Delattre, one of the studys authors.The finding wasnt just a historical curiosity. To learn jus
33、t how special these scrolls are, consider that the thinker Chrysippus in ancient Greece is said to have written over 700 works; but all are lost, with the exception of a few works found in the Herculaneum scrolls. In other words, its possible that these scrolls represent the only existing complete w
34、orks left by this great thinker. And who knows what other great works could exist in the scrolls?12.What do we know about the Herculaneum scrolls?A.They were damaged by people in A.D. 79.B.Theyre impossible to read for a long time.C.They have been poorly kept in the past few years.D.They can be easi

The new method to read the Herculaneum scrolls.B.The reasons why scientists create a powerful light.C.The comparisons of the man-made light with the sunlight.D.The advantages of using machine to study the Herculaneum scrolls.1
36、4.What achievement did the ESRFs scientists make?A.Creating a kind of ink similar to the ancient one；B.Finding more about the ancient way to record information.C.Showing the paper material used for the Herculaneum scrolls.D. Making clear some words written in the Herculaneum scrolls.15.Chrysippus wo
