35、 Predict Customer ResponseDDespite their bad reputation, sharks are critical to the marine ecosystem and can even help fight climate change.In the shallows of Shark Bay, Western Australia, seagrass is food for the sea cows, which can weigh as much as 500kg and eat roughly 40kg of seagrass a day. Sea

36、 cows are a rich source of food for tiger sharks. By keeping the sea cow population in check, tiger sharks help seagrass meadows (草地) thrive. A flourishing seagrass meadow stores twice as much CO2 per square mile as forests typically do on land.But tiger shark numbers are declining. Off Australias n

37、ortheast coast of Queensland, tiger sharks are estimated to have fallen by at least 71 percent, largely due to overfishing. A reduction in tiger sharks means more seagrass consumed by herbivores (食草动物) and less carbon stored in sea vegetation. This begged the question: What if they were absent from

38、the Shark Baywould the seagrass-dominated ecosystem survive? To find out, researchers led by Rob Nowicki of Florida International University, spent time in Eastern Australia, where shark numbers were lower and sea cows ate seagrass largely undisturbed. “When uncontrolled, sea cows can rapidly destro

39、y wide areas of seagrass,” said Nowicki. “When the seagrass recovers, the seagrass community looks different, with more tropical species dominating than before.”Those findings underlined the role that tiger sharks were playing in Shark Bay. If their populations continue to decline the resilience (恢复

40、能力) of carbon-rich ocean ecosystems will likely decrease.When it comes to boosting shark numbers, there have been movements toward more sustainable fishing, but a large percentage of the industry have not changed their methods, which is a reason why the population of many marine top predators (捕食者)

41、continues to decline.Apart from supporting sustainable fishing, Nowicki said the only way to truly protect marine life is to reduce our global greenhouse gas emissions. “Ultimately, if we are going to conserve our ecosystems in the centuries to come, we are going to need to solve climate change whil

42、e undertaking species conservation at the same time.”12. Why are tiger sharks key to the marine ecosystem?A. They feed on various sea animals.B. They can store large amounts of CO2.C. They can prevent the loss of seagrass.D. They affect marine species distribution.13. What did Rob Nowickis team want

43、 to find out in Eastern Australia?A. How sea cows destroy the seagrass community.B. How shark population influences the ocean ecosystem.C. What was contributing to the declining number of tiger sharks.D. What to do to recover the seagrass-dominated ecosystem.14. What is the main reason for the decli

What is important in preserving marine life and ecosystems suggested by Nowicki?A. Banning marine fishing activities.B. Addressing ocean pollution problems.C. Preserving mari

Many people call this the “smell of rain”. However, rain is made up of odorless (无味的) water. So, where does t

46、his smell come from? _16_ But it actually comes from wet soil. This special odor even has its own name: petrichor (潮土油), which comes from a pair of chemical reactions.The pleasant smell has long been an interest of scientists since Australian scientists first documented the formation of petrichor in

47、 1964. According to scientists, some plants produce oils during dry periods. _17_ Yet, its the second reaction that creates the most petrichor. It occurs when chemicals produced by bacteria in soil are released. _18_ These bacteria break down and change into simple chemical compounds, providing nutr

48、ition for plants. Meanwhile the process also produces geosmin (土臭素), a compound with a distinct earthy aroma (香味).Lots of animals are sensitive to geosmin but human beings are extremely sensitive to it. When it rains after a long period of dryness, drops of water hit the ground. Geosmin is then released from the surfaces. _19_ And it finally gives raindrops their familiar scent. If it rains heavily enough, geosmin will be spread downwind, warning others of coming rain. _20_ And the next time someone
