3、根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
My name is McKenzie Skiles and I'm a snow hydrologist (水文学家) at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Actually, the purpose is to track dust's impact on water resources.
I am most interested in the impact of warming temperatures on snow melting rates, and I have started studying snowmelt since 2009 in Utah and Colorado. When I skied to research sites in Utah to collect snow for my experiment, the mountainous landscapes were covered in dust. It's clear that 2009 was one of the biggest years for dust deposition (沉积) onto snow.
I usually have to cover several kilometers, carrying a 27-kilogramme pack with a shovel ( 铲子) to dig a snow hole, tools to cut snow and measure its density, and containers to collect snow for analyses. One year, I hit a dusty area of snow, broke my ski and sliced my leg open.
In areas with heavy dust deposition, such as the southern Rocky Mountains, dust speeds up melting by one or two months. Warming air temperatures affect snow gathering, but dust builds up over time and darkens the surface.
I'm now exploring different ice and snow landscapes for further research. For example, how black-carbon buildup following forest fires affects melting. As we move into a future that is likely to be even dustier, we need them to predict snowmelt for many reasons, including working out how to use water in the western United States efficiently.
A. The dust caused a lot of trouble.
B. I went for miles in the wilderness.
C. Doing my research is no easy task.
D. One of the goals is to develop snowmelt models.
E. In Colorado, the red dust from desert soils had also blown in.
F. As a result, the snow will absorb more sunlight and quicken melting.
C. My job is to ski in the wilderness to measure dust on top of snow each spring.

A new study involving nearly 50, 000 people from four continents offers new insights into identifying the quantity of daily walking steps that will best improve adults' health and longevity (长寿), and whether the ideal number of steps differs across people of different ages. The study represents an effort to develop an evidence-based public health message about the benefits of physical activity. The often-repeated 10, 000-step-a-day saying grew out of a decades-old marketing activity for a Japanese pedometer(计步器), with no science to back it up.
Led by physical activity professor Amanda Paluch, an international group of scientists conducted an experiment among adults aged 18 and older. They grouped the nearly 50. 000 participants into four comparative groups according to average steps per day. The lowest step group averaged 3. 500 steps; the second. 5, 800; the third. 7, 800; and the fourth, 10, 900 steps per day. Among the three higher active groups. there was a 40-53% lower risk of death. compared to the lowest step group.
More specifically. for adults 60 and older. the risk of early death leveled off at about 6, 000-8, 000 steps per day. meaning that more steps than that provided no additional benefit for longevity. while for adults younger than 60. about 8, 000-10, 000 steps per day.
"So, what we saw was this continuing reduction in risk as the number of steps increases. until it levels of. Interestingly. the study found no definitive association with walking speed. " Paluch says.
The new study supports and expands findings from another study led by Paluch before. which found that walking at least 7, 000 steps a day reduced middle-aged people's risk of early death. "There's a lot of evidence suggesting that moving even a little more is beneficial. particularly for those who are doing very little activity. Paluch says. "More steps per day are better for your health. "
(1)、Why did the scientists carry out the new study?A、To know about people's health condition. B、To explain the pedometer's working principles. C、To determine the best physical activity for people. D、To provide a scientific guideline on daily walking.(2)、 What does the underlined words "leveled off" in paragraph 3 mean?A、Turned higher. B、Became stable. C、Fell sharply. D、Changed rapidly.(3)、 What does the experiment find?A、The old should walk as much as possible. B、Young people usually walk more than the old. C、The most beneficial steps differ by age groups. D、Walking pace is the key to avoiding early death.(4)、 What does Paluch advise people doing little activity to do?A、To walk more steps. B、To control walking speed. C、To limit walking distance. D、To track the number of steps. -

Every morning on the island of Oahu, students at Pu' öhala Elementary gather on a field as towering mountains watch them from the mist. Their day starts with songs in 'ölelo Hawai'i, the islands' native language, restating values of respect and justice that their teachers hope will guide them through their education, and throughout their lives.
Like most kids their age, they're not concerned about the significance of the language they're learning. Still, they have a weighty responsibility: to receive the torch (火炬) and ensure the security of 'ölelo Hawai' i for future generations.
It was only 50 years ago that the language was on the edge of extinction. Though the situation is much improved, in many ways 'ölelo Hawai' i is still on life support. Teachers say there's a huge enthusiasm for school kids to learn the language, but as they grow up, they're encouraged to focus on "more useful" subjects and use English, which are believed to assist them in achieving success in their work. In 2016, there were 18, 610 Hawaiian speakers on the islands.
"One hundred thousand is the approximate number of speakers needed to consider the language safe, " says Solomon, professor of Hawaiian language at University of Hawai'i at Manoa. "The idea is that there are enough people passing it on to the next generation, socializing their children to use the language in all domains of life, to express all thoughts and needs and desires. "
Fortunately, the kids of Pu' öhala Elementary will take the responsibility to continue the work of the current young adults defending the language, expanding access to 'ölelo Hawai'i in part through TikTok and Instagram, and making the language a practical skill in adulthood. These youth, along with those committed to recovering the language from previous generations, share their hopes for the better.
(1)、What are the students at Pu' öhala Elementary expected to do?A、To figure out the value of life. B、To go out of the island of Oahu. C、To pass their native language down. D、To draw people's attention to folk songs.(2)、 What makes the students abandon 'ölelo Hawai'i?A、Career development. B、The improved situation. C、Lack of enthusiasm. D、Little educational support.(3)、 What is the current situation of ‘ölelo Hawai'i according to professor Solomon?A、It is used in all walks of life. B、It is considered a safe language. C、It demands more speakers to be safe. D、It has one hundred thousand speakers.(4)、What is the author's attitude towards the future of 'ölelo Hawai'i?A、Worried. B、Hopeful. C、Unclear. D、Reserved. -

A Gift Beyond Measure
At an early age, I was crazy about music, dreaming of possessing a piano on which I could practiceand play in the way a famous pianist did on the stage. Later when I was getting older, on my way to school,there was an instrument shop that I passed by almost every day. When I saw through the window, in thecorner of the shop stood a nice piano which would always attract my eyes so deeply that I even forgoteverything around me.
To my sadness, my family was truly struggling. In that period, my mother was laid off from herposition and my father was only a clerk in a company. It was just a matter of getting by on a low income,not to mention buying me an expensive piano though they knew I was eager to play that piano so much.The increasing wrinkles in my father's face even stopped me from having this thought.
Then one day after school, I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano. However, thepiano had gone! It was a big surprise. Someone had purchased the piano that I would stare at almost everyday!I should not have been surprised as others had the right to buy it, if they could afford to. However, atthe thought of not being able to see that piano any more, tears filled my eyes.
Disappointed and helpless, I wandered aimlessly up and down the street. I felt as though somethinghad been stolen in my heart. After what seemed a year, I returned home, dragging my heavy legs. Hardly had I just gone into the house when my mother called my name. Brushing away my tears, I followed thesound of her voice into the dining-room.
