1．Artists with a Green Message Chris Jordan
Photographic artist Chris Jordan takes pictures of ordinary objects like bottle caps，light bulbs and aluminum cans and turns them into art by digitally rearranging them to construct one central image.However，it's the tiny pieces that drive home their environmental message.For example，his 2008 work"Plastic Cups"shows 1 million plastic cups，the number used on airline flights in the U.S.jye.ai six hours.
Nele Azevedo
Visual artist Nele Azevedo is best known for her"Melting Men"interventions that she stages in cities across the globe.Azevedo carves thousands of small figures for audiences to watch them melt.Her ice sculptures are meant to question the role of monuments in cities，but Azevedo says she's glad her art can also"speak of urgent matters that threaten our existence on this planet."
Agnes Denes
One of the pioneers of environmental art and conceptual art，Agnes Denes is best known for her land art project，"Wheatfield—A Confrontation."In May 1982，Denes planted a two-acre wheat field in Manhattan on Battery Park Landfill.The land was cleared of rocks and garbage by hand.Denes harvested more than 1，000 pounds of wheat.She says her works are"intended to help the environment and benefit future generations with a meaningful legacy."
John Fekner

2．Michael stands in a circle with the other boys.At the center of it is Coach Dave，a former college wrestler，now wrestling coach."I honestly believe each kid can win every match，"Coach Dave says."And I tell them that."
The mental strength gained from a coach is as important as physical strength.And Michael soaked it up.As a freshman，Michael lost half of his matches，but the next year the practice began to pay off."It finally just clicks，"Michael says."You walk onto the mat，and you know you're going to win.When Coach Dave tells you how you are going to beat an opponent，you just go out and do it."
At a tournament in Reno，Michael was ranked nationally and faced a wrestler from the Midwest ranked a few spots above him.In the final seconds of the match，ahead by one point，Michael clung to the lead while his opponent clung to his ankle，trying to get a takedown.Michael was hopping his way out of the circle to gain a restart.It's the easy way out，like a boxer ducking out of the ring to get a breather and preserve a lead.With his back to his opponent，he took one more step.The opponent grabbed the other ankle，and Michael went down.Two points.Match over.
After match，Dave asked one question，"Are you going to run away from challenges in life or turn and face them？" Michael knew exactly what he'd done wrong—and that it could become a lifelong flaw if he didn't correct it.All he had to do was turn into his opponent and counterattack."You'll beat him next time，"Coach Dave said.
Eventually Michael won the tournament and won a lot of matches that year.But the encouragement from Dave is where he learned the most."When someone believes in you like that，you know you can do it，"Michael says."I often hear Coach Dave when I'm in tough situations.'No excuses，just do it.'That encouragement has been my guide."

3．Scientists who study glacier ice have found viruses nearly 15，000 years old in two ice samples taken from the Tibetan Plateau in China.Most of those viruses，which survived because they had remained frozen，are unlike any viruses that have been cataloged to date.For this study，the scientists created a new method of analyzing microbes and viruses in ice without polluting it.
The researchers analyzed ice cores taken in 2015 from the Guliya ice cap in western China.The cores are collected at high altitudes—the summit of Guliya，where this ice originated，is 22，000 feet above sea level.The ice cores contain layers of ice that accumulate year after year，trapping whatever was in the atmosphere around them at the time each layer froze.Those layers create a timeline of sorts，which scientists have
used to understand more about climate change，microbes，viruses and gases throughout history.
When they analyzed the ice，they found genetic codes for 33 viruses.Four of those viruses have already been identified by the scientific community.But at least 28 of them are novel.About half of them seemed to have survived at the time they were frozen. "These viruses have signatures of genes that help them infect cells in cold environments.These are not easy signatures to pull out，and the newly developed method could help us search for these genetic sequences（序列） in other extreme icy environments—Mars，for example，the moon，or closer to home in Earth's Atacama Desert，"said Matthew Sullivan，co-author of the study.
The study of viruses in glaciers is relatively new but increasingly important."We know very little about viruses and microbes in these extreme environments，and what is actually jye.aire.The documentation and understanding of that is extremely important：How do bacteria and viruses respond to climate change？What happens when we go from an ice age to a warm period like we're in now？" said Lonnie Thompson，senior author of the study.
（1）What can we learn from Paragraph 1？
A．Most of the viruses were unknown to humans.
B．15，000 viruses were discovered from glacier ice.
C．Few viruses survived when they were frozen.
D．A new method of analyzing ice was developed.
（2）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？
A．A process of ice accumulation.
B．An analysis of ice cores.
C．The cause of climate change.
D．The history of viruses.
（3）What does Matthew Sullivan say about the new method for the study？
A．It fails to help find genetic codes.
B．It has been used in the moon.
C．It greatly contributes to virus study.
D．It can be used to explore Mars.
（4）What can be inferred about the study of viruses in glaciers from Lonnie Thompson's words？
A．It's highly questionable.
B．It's still to be improved.
C．It's little known to humans.
D．It's of practical significance.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5
