• 2．An injured hiker was rescued earlier this month after a train passenger spotted her from the window.She was crazily waving on the other side of a river，having just spent two days trapped in the wilderness with a broken leg.
     The rider told the train crew，who then reported it to the train inspector，Henry Smith.who was in a motor car behind them.Henry was able to stop and communicate with the woman on the opposite bank of the river，which was freezing cold and moving quickly.
     The hiker，a woman in her twenties，had been missing for two days.She said she'd intended to go on a day hike，but ended up falling 90 feet down a cliff face while trying to take pictures.She reportedly told rescuers that she lost consciousness for an unknown amount of time.Despite a badly broken leg，she struggled to pull herself to the bank of the river to try to flag down trains.She had no emergency supplies with her，or suitable clothing to spend the night outdoors.There had been a cold attack while the woman was trapped in the wilderness.The hiker described spending daylight hours trying to get the attention of passing trains and，at night，would roll herself into a nearby cliff face in an attempt to stay warm.
     Henry called to request help for search and rescue.The operator who received the emergency call said the hiker's family had been looking for her.While they were waiting for the rescue team，Nick and Kylah，an engineer and a fireman on the next train passing by the location，came to help.327 passengers on the train waited on the track as they crossed the river to examine the woman's injuries and bring emergency supplies，blankets and a radio for communication.Eventually，a helicopter was sent to locate and rescue the hiker and she was transported safely to the hospital.

• 3．A NASA-funded study used satellite to search for penguin poops （糞便） in Antarctica：funny at first sight though，it resulted in unique insights on the Adelie penguin's diet and its future as the climate changes.The findings published recently unlocked the secrets about the species that can provide an early-warning of threats to Antarctica's delicate ecosystem.
     Researchers from Stony Brook University used satellite images to see if the Adelie penguin's diet has been changing in response to Antarctica's changing climate.Adelie penguin population has dropped greatly in some areas even as the global population increases.The satellite images cannot show the penguins individually，but their presence can be detected by the stain （污漬） left on the ice by their waste，called guano.
     Male and female penguins take turns incubating （孵化） in the nest.The guano builds up in the same areas occupied by the nests.Heather Lynch，associate professor at Stony Brook，along with his team，used the area of the colony as defined by the guano stain to work back to the number of pairs.A global survey for Adelie penguins turned up 3.8 million breeding pairs.Also，the satellite data can detect the color of the penguin guano，ranging from white to pink to dark red.White guano is from eating mostly fish；pink and red would be from eating mostly krill（磷蝦）.The team found that while the Adelie penguin's diet did show changes from year to year，no consistent pattern was obvious.
     "This was a big surprise，since the abundance and distribution of Adelie penguins has changed dramatically over the last 40 years and scientists had assumed that a change in diet might have played a role，" said Casey Young flesh，a graduate student from the university.However，continued changes in the physical environment and a growing krill fishery in the region are likely to have an influence on penguin prey（獵物）and penguin population itself. "Tools like this will be important for the management of the Antarctic ecosystem，which is often considered among the most primitive areas in the world，" said Young flesh.
  
  （1）What concerned scientists most according to paragraph 1？

  
  A．The climate change.
  B．The Adelie penguin's diet.
  C．The Antarctica's ecosystem.
  D．The secret of penguin poops.
  （2）How did scientists carry out the study？

  
  A．By doing experiments.
  B．By conducting surveys.
  C．By making observations.
  D．By collecting documents.
  （3）Which of the following would Lynch agree with？

  
  A．The Adelie penguin population was 3.8 million worldwide.
  B．Guano colors reflected the health condition of the penguin.
  C．The Adelie penguin's diet stayed the same most of the time.
  D．Adelie penguin waste helped estimate the penguin population.
  （4）What did Young flesh's words suggest？

  
  A．More Adelie penguins have appeared over the last 40 years.
  B．There was not an obvious changing pattern of penguin's diet.
  C．Diet changes didn't actually affect penguin population as assumed.
  D．Fishery was important for the management of the Antarctic ecosystem.
