Masks that helped save lives during the Covid-19 pandemic(疫情)are proving a deadly risk for wildlife, with birds and sea creatures trapped in many facial coverings in animal habitats.
Single-use masks have been found on the ground, waterways and beaches worldwide since countries required(heir use in public places to slow the pandemic's spread.

Jules Verne was born on 8 February1828 inthe French city of Nantes. From an early age, he had a fascination with exploration and discovery. When he was six, his teacher, Madame Sambin, told him stories about her husband, who disappeared while traveling the world on a ship 30 years before. She told her class that he was like Robinson Crusoe, a fictional castaway who lived on a desert island. Verne would later write stories about similar characters.
In 1847, Verne was sent by his family to study law at a university in Paris, but he preferred to write novels, poems and plays. After graduating, he realized he wanted to write adventure stories based on science and technology.Thishad never been done before, but Verne was sure that it would be a success. His first story, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was published in September 1862. His career lasted for more than 40 years, during which time he wrote more than 60 gripping stories.
To begin with, Verne wrote positive and optimistic books. Many of these were to be his most popular creations. Although some included fantastical elements, they were usually based in scientific fact, making them believable. These happy stories weren’t to last. As he got older, Verne became less confident in the idea that science and technology were always good for the planet. His books started to include more scientists who used technology for their own-sometimes evil - purposes. Verne died on 24 March 1905, but new books continued to be published until 1919. These stories were based on ideas Verne had written about while he was still alive, but featured new characters and plots created by his son, Michel.
In the 20th century, his books were translated into more than 140 languages and several successful film versions were released. His creations have been recognized as an inspiration for many scientists and inventors. Many of the futuristic ideas from his most popular books have since come true. 8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A To show Verne’s discovery.
B. To offer the background information of Verne. C. To tell of the adventure of Sambin’s husband. D. To explain how Verne began his writing career.
9. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in Paragraph 2: A. Writing novels, poems and plays. B. Studying law.
C. Graduating from university. D. Wring adventure stories.
10. What can be learned about Verne’s late works? A. They covered happy elements. B. They were unbelievable stories. C. They revealed Verne’s doubt on science. D. They were partly written by Berne’s son. 11. Which of the following best describes Verne? A. Talented and productive. B. Popular and caring. C. Optimistic and generous. D. Friendly and honest.
