3．The Arctic's permafrost is inciting- and fast.That's bad news，because these frozen soils store billions of tons of carbon，just waiting to be released.So is there a way to save the permafrost？One team of researchers thinks it may have found a possible solution：big animals，herbivores - animals that eat only plants.
Back in 1996 researchers started an experiment called Pleistocene Park.They fenced in about eight square miles of land in northeast Siberia.Then they introduced different types of herbivores：reindeer，horses，bison，sheep and other large creatures.
Since then，scientists have studied these animals' effects on the ecosystem.One outcome is that these large herbivores help keep the ground very cold - cooler than it would otherwise be.
"The snow in winter is important for soil temperature，because it acts as an insulating layer.So the air in winter，at the high latitudes，is much colder than the soil." Philipp Porada，a vegetation ecologist at the University of Hamburg. "So the idea of this experiment was to introduce large herbivores - and to quantify their effects on soil temperature to see if they can actually protect permafrost soils against melting.And this works because of the animals' trampling（踐踏），and this leads to less insulation of the soil against cold air temperatures and results in a cooling effect."
Porada and his colleagues realized the significance of this effect，so they pulled data from Pleistocene Park and Sweden to model what effect herbivores could have on permafrost if they lived in large numbers in the Arctic.
Porada said，"These herbivores in the model reduce soil temperature substantially，by 1.7 degrees on average.And this leads to a preservation of around 80 percent of the original - today's permafrost area.Without the herbivore effect in the model，only 50 percent of the permafrost area would remain by the year 2100."
（1）What will the permafrost's melting result in？
A．The decrease air.
B．The cooling effect.
C．The rise the surrounding temperature.
D．The increase in herbivores.
（2）Why can the herbivores help keep the ground cooler？
A．They can make more insulating layers.
B．They can protect the snow on the ground.
C．They make the ground release lots of carbon.
D．They make cold air reach the soil more easily.
（3）How did Porada feel about the finding of the experiment？
A．It remains to be checked.
B．It's unreasonable.
C．It's significant.
D．It has been used widely.
（4）What did Porada intend to tell us in the last paragraph？
A．The herbivores could lead to the preservation of permafrost.
B．The herbivores would help find more permafrost areas.
C．The temperature would increase greatly in the future.
D．Only half of the permafrost would remain by the year 2100.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.7

When you have children with Down syndrome，they don't fit in，they are different and they don't get invited to parties.They don't get invited to anything.Everything you do is a challenge，it is a fight.It is a battle to just get them to be included，" Nick said.
Despite his life challenges，Chris tries hard to stay positive and work hard to overcome his difficulties. "Don't tell me that I'll fail，" the young man replies to those who tell him he can't do something.
Chris has always been athletic，so his father found a Special Olympics Marathon Triathlon program for him to participate in.His father viewed the program as a fun thing they could do togetjye.air.He encouraged Chris to do something that no one had ever done before.He knew accomplishing a challenging event such as the Ironman Triathlon would make an incredibly powerful impact，not only on his son but on many others with disabilities.He asked Chris if he would be interested in participating in the most challenging race. "Yes，let's do it!" Chris enthusiastically replied.
Individuals with Down syndrome，like Chris，often struggle with poor balance and delayed reaction time.Therefore，it took him a little longer to complete training routines in the beginning.However，Chris is no quitter，he kept on practicing.With his courage，willpower and his family's encouragement，every day he grew better，faster and stronger.
