Depths of our Earth hold great wonders. Below we explore four deepest places on Earth.
Veryovkina Cave, Georgia
Its entrance is located 2,285 meters above sea level. In 2018, scientists reached its bottom at 2,212 meters
down. They squeezed through tiny openings to get from one cave to another. Rockfalls and floods waited secretly
at every turn. Scientists could develop new medicines from microorganisms found in cave samples (). Caves
also record ancient life and past climates.
The Mariana Trench, the Pacific Ocean
The Mariana Trench, with the maximum depth of 11,034 meters, is the deepest part of Earth’s surface.
Pressure there is intolerable, but creatures like sea cucumbers () still exist. Scientists exploring it can gain
deeper insights into how plates move and why earthquakes and volcanoes occur.
The Dead Sea, the Middle East
The Dead Sea is the lowest point on land at about 1,400 feet (about 400 meters) below sea level. It’s nearly
ten times saltier than ocean water, so you literally can’t sink in the Dead Sea! Scientists think it could go dry in a
few decades. Despite its name, the Dead Sea holds life. A few kinds of algae ( ) and bacteria love its salty
water.
Lake Baikal, Russia
At the depth of 1,642 meters, Lake Baikal is the deepest inland body of water. The Baikal seal is the only
known seal that lives in this world’s deepest freshwater lake. Scientists study the lake not only for the solid stuff
beneath it that records climate history but because it’s in a zone where a plate is splitting apart, causing
earthquakes.
21. What do we know about Veryovkina Cave?
A. It was discovered in 2018.
B. Its pressure is far from bearable.
C. It is risky to explore.
D. Its samples are of little practical value.
22. Where should scientists go to better know earth movement?
A. Georgia & Russia.
B. Russia & the Pacific Ocean.
C. Georgia & the Pacific Ocean.
D. The Middle East & Russia.
23. What do the four places have in common?
A. They have some signs of life.
B. They are over a thousand meters deep.
C. They are results of climate change.
D. They are all below sea level.
B
Recently we celebrated my grandmother’s 90th birthday. Family members traveled to my hometown to visit
her. This was the first time in many years that I had seen so many of them. Though this was an opportunity to see
family, many people did not make it. Honestly, living far from hometown, I had missed many family gatherings.
But this one made me realize how much I was really missing.
It seemed strange when I was looking at the faces, realizing whom they were and greeting them with open
arms. After chatting for a while, we caught up on each other’s news. Several relatives suggested having a family
reunion soon if everyone wasn’t so busy. But my grandmother’s generation was much busier, yet still found time to
gather. They understood the importance of visiting one another. They knew time is flying and that those you care about
most won’t be here forever.
Today, we focus on our careers and raising our kids. Our extended family isn’t the center it once was. Besides,
we keep in touch on social media. But what we really miss are the potato salad, the moments of laughter and
sudden bursts of excitement when we hug someone we haven’t seen for over 10 years. Although the next get-
together is always a year or so away, people aren’t goods and everyone has an expiration (到期) date.
I left my grandmother’s party with a much better sense of who I am and where I come from. I spent valuable
time with people who contributed to who I am today. I had forgotten how much I love them and I was reminded
how much I am loved.
24. How did the author feel about missing previous family gatherings?
A. Indifferent. B. Sad. C. Regretful. D. Annoyed.
25. What do we know about the authors grandmothers generation?
A. They were carefree.
B. They held family dear.
C. They took time seriously.
D. They visited family frequently.
26. What does the author mean by the last sentence in paragraph 3?
A. Family reunions mean no fun.
B. All goods don’t have an expiration date.
