• 3．Mangroyes are trees that typically grow in saltwater along coasts.But some red mangroves end up deep in the rainforests of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.These plants live in freshwater along the San Pedro Martir River.That's nearly 200 kilometers from the sea.Scientists wanted to know how these mangroves got trapped so far inland.Carlos Burelo was among tjye.aim.He became curious about these mangroves on a childhood fishing trip there 35 years ago.Burelo saw that the roots of the mangroves grew above ground.This was different from the other trees.
     Burelo's team first investigated where the freshwater mangroves came from.They started by collecting their leaves and then compared their DNA to the leaves from coastal mangroves which were growing along the Gulf of Mexico.The DNA helped identify the origins of the mangroves on the San Pedro Martir River.They had started along the Gulf of Mexico，some 170 kilometers away from the river.The team discovered other evidence that this ecosystem had once been coastal.They discovered 112 other species in this region that are typically found near coasts.
     The researchers looked at the soil too. "These sediments（沉積物）near the mangroves revealed exactly what we expected，says Exequiel Ezcurra，an ecologist at the University of California.In all，the researchers turned up coastal stones，shells of sea snails and clay sediments rich in shell fragments（碎片）.These led the researchers to conclude the area used to be part of the ocean long ago.
     Computer models of how sea level has changed over time confirmed those findings.The models showed that when sea levels were higher in the past，the ocean merged with the lower basin of the San Pedrc Martir River.That would have been around 150，000 to 130，000 years ago.This pushed red mangroves and other species inland.
     "This discovery highlights how changes to the past climate have affected the world's coastlines， " Ezcurra says. "It also offers a chance to better understand how future sea level rise may affect these ecosystems. "
  
  （1）What did Burelo notice as a child？

  
  A．The changes of the sea water.
  B．The problems facing the rainforest.
  C．The unusual roots of some mangroves.
  D．The influence of mangroves on fishing.
  （2）What can we infer about the freshwater mangroves and the coastal ones？

  
  A．They are close in DNA.
  B．They have different leaves.
  C．They have different origins.
  D．They both have many species.
  （3）What does the research of the soil show？

  
  A．The composition of the soil is very complicated.
  B．The freshwater mangroves once grew in the sea.
  C．Sea creatures influence the growth of mangroves.
  D．The sea level has little change over the past years.
  （4）What does the underlined phrase "merged with" in Paragraph4 probably mean'？

  
  A．Developed from.
  B．Changed into.
  C．Depended on.
  D．Combined with.
