On Monday, August 21, millions of Americans across the country wore their protective

eyeglasses to watch the highly expected total solar eclipse ( 日食 ). Though the eclipses, which

occur about every 18 months, are not rare, this one was historic. It was not only the first total solar

eclipse visible from the mainland US in more than 38 years, but also the first to be seen coast to

coast in almost a century.

The crowds were thrilled as the moon briefly blocked the sun, covering cities all the way from

Oregon to South Carolina(SC) with darkness. A cold ran down many spines ( 脊柱 ) as the

temperatures dropped dramatically, by up to 12 degrees Fahrenheit, during totality (全食). Those

fortunate enough to have clear skies not only saw the corona, the sun’s outer atmosphere, which is

usually not visible in the sun’s glare, but also the bright stars and planets.

Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperative everywhere. The crowds who gathered in

Charleston, SC, the last big city in the path of totality, had to struggle against a thick cloud cover

when the partial eclipse began at 1:17 pm. It did thin out a little as totality took place at 2:46 pm,

allowing for a good view of the eclipse, but not the sun’s corona! However, some splendid flashes

of lightning that occurred just as the moon covered the sun helped ease the disappointment

somewhat.

All in all, the rare event, believed to be the most observed and most photographed eclipse in

history, was a huge success. As Bill Nye, aka “the Science Guy” briefly put it, “Experiencing an

eclipse changes the way we feel about space and how we are connected. This moment will remind

us all that we share a common origin among the stars and that we are all citizens of the same

planet.”

4. What do we know about the eclipse on August 21?

A. It was first viewed by the citizens in Carolina.

B. It caused a temperature decrease in some cities.

C. It was the first total solar eclipse visible in the US.

D. It cheered astronomy lovers from all over the world.

5. Paragraph 3 is mainly about _________.

A. where people could enjoy a good eclipse

B. when the total solar eclipse happened in Charleston

C. what people saw in Charleston during the eclipse

D. why the weather was bad in Charleston

6. How does Bill comment this rare event?

A. Astonishing. B. Disappointing. C. Troublesome. D. Meaningful.

7. What is the best title for the text?

A. US People Celebrate the Rare Solar Eclipse

B. Imperfect Weather Disappoints Eclipse Lovers

C. Astronomy Experts Analyze Total Solar Eclipse

D. Historic Total Solar Eclipse Attracts People in US

Masks that helped to save lives are proving a deadly danger for wildlife, with birds and sea

creatures trapped in the shocking number of thrown-away facial coverings. Single-use masks have

been found around pavements, waterways and beaches worldwide. Worn once, the thin protective

materials can take hundreds of years to decompose. “Face masks aren’t going away any time soon

—but when we throw them away, these items can harm the environment and the animals,” Ashley

Fruno of animal rights group PETA said.

In Britain, a gull was rescued by the RSPCA after its legs became tangled in the straps (带子)

of a mask for up to a week. The animal welfare charity took it to a wildlife hospital for treatment

before its release.

The biggest effect may be in the water. More than 1.5 billion masks made their way into the

world’s oceans last year, accounting for around 6200 extra tonnes of ocean plastic pollution,

according to environmental group Oceans Asia.

Conservationists in Brazil found one mask inside the stomach of a penguin after its body was

washed up on a beach, while a dead pufferfish was discovered caught inside another of the coast of

Miami. French campaigners found a dead crab trapped in a mask near the Mediterranean. Masks

and gloves are “particularly problematic” for sea creatures, says George Leonard, chief scientist

from NGO Ocean Conservancy. “When those plastics break down in the environment, they then

enter the food chain and impact entire ecosystems,” he added.

There has been a shift towards greater use of reusable cloth masks as the pandemic (疫情) has

worn on, but many are still using the lighter single-use varieties. Campaigners have urged people

to bin them properly and cut the straps to reduce the risk of animals becoming trapped. Oceans

Asia has also called on governments to increase fines for littering and encourage the use of

washable masks.

8. What does the underlined word “decompose” mean?

A. Break down. B. Burn down. C. Turn down. D. Fall down.

9. What can we learn from George Leonard’s words?

A. The environmental group saves many animals.

B. Sea wildlife is fond of feeding on face masks.

C. Measures should be taken to protect sea wildlife.

D. Masks thrown around will finally harm humans.
