2． In recent fast paced life，the demands and pressures of work left me feeling mentally and physically stressed.I decided to disconnect from my job for a while for a mental break.As a nature lover，without any delay，I came to Borneo，the world's third largest island.
Upon arrival，a local offered to be my guide，which was a great bonus for me.He led me through the jungle and I was immersed in the exploration.One day，the guide turned off the smooth road and took me across a rough hillside instead.We picked our way gingerly when suddenly，a Rafflesia （大王花） appeared into my view among those stones.More than delighted，I bent down and put my nose practically to feel the flower's special flavour.
As I was approaching the end of my trip，there was another thing highlighting my trip.We happened to encounter the king of the crocodile （鱷魚），a saltwater crocodile，which can grow to a length of 6 meters.It was getting dark.When we shone a flashlight towards the muddy shore，little sounds emerged in the darkness as if something unseen underwater had broken the mud.Taking a second look，we spotted two greedy eyes just above the water line.Cautiously，we approached it and finally could figure out it was a baby crocodile.Though alarmed，I could proudly talk big that I had encountered a hungry crocodile in the wild and lived to back.
Though I have settled back into the routine of everyday life now，the experience stays long after the physical journey ended.I have learned to face life's challenges with a renewed outlook.Despite the rat race of daily existence，try to spare time to spot the breathtaking beauty of nature and the heartfelt connections with ojye.airs.The world out there is so fascinating.

3． In 2018，Russian scientists took a soil sample from deep in the permanently frozen ground in Siberia in Russia.They discovered two tiny round nematodes （線蟲） frozen in the sample，which were so small that they could only be seen with a microscope.Tests showed the soil had been frozen for about 46，000 years old.When the nematodes were placed in room temperature，they began to move.The nematodes are the oldest living animals ever brought back to life after being frozen.The discovery makes up for the research on how living things can survive in tough conditions.
Nematodes can live for years if they're frozen.They can enter a special state called cryptobiosis （隱生現(xiàn)象） ，during which animals reduce their activities and consume very little energy.Before this，the longest nematode had been known to survive through cryptobiosis was about 25 years.Being revived after 46，000 years was a new record for any kind of animal.
The nematodes were sent off to Germany to be studied furjye.air.The researchers found the two nematodes were a new species of nematode that had not yet been discovered.That's not too surprising，since there are so many species of nematodes.They also found the nematodes were able to survive being frozen better if they were dried out a little first.The drying helped them produce a special sugar called trehalose （海藻糖），which helped them survive being frozen.The scientists also studied a nematode species that is common these days.They found that it also uses the sugar to protect itself in cryptobiosis.
Both of the nematodes were females.Before long，they began to have babies.Some kinds of nematodes，including these，have the ability for a single nematode to have babies all by itself.The two original frozen nematodes have now died.But their babies had babies who had babies，and so on.Most of the nematodes only live a month or two unless they get frozen.
（1）What do we know about the two nematodes in the first paragraph？
A．They were the oldest living animals.
B．They were still alive when warmed up.
C．They were found on the surface of the ground.
D．They were the tiniest creatures ever discovered.
（2）How does cryptobiosis affect nematodes？
A．It slows down the pace of their life.
B．It helps them speed up their drying.
C．It gets their body temperature down.
D．It stops them from consuming energy.
（3）Which of the following is unrelated to the nematodes' survival for years？
A．Cryptobiosis.
B．Trehalose.
C．Their sex.
D．Dry condition.
（4）What can be the best title for the text？
A．Female nematodes live longer than the male ones
B．Nematodes can produce young when they are frozen
C．Nematodes are ranked the fastest producing creatures
D．Short-lived nematodes survived for thousands of years組卷：2引用：4難度：0.5
