2025-2026学年贵州省贵阳市第六中学高二上学期10月月考英语试题二、阅读理解（本大题共5小题） Bioluminescence (生物荧光) is to California as the Aurora Borealis is to the Arctic. These events occur when single-celled organisms, known as dinoflagellates (甲藻), suddenly give off a kind of light after being disturbed. They’re most common in spring and into summer, especially during years with a combination of good rains and warm weather. Here are a few tips to help you witness bioluminescence: Monitor Social Media The first reports of a bioluminescence event are likely to show upon Instagram and Twitter, which are easily searchable. You can also set up a warning on Google that will round up news coverage. Check With Aquariums Such institutions as the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla, the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium in Monterey might post updates on their websites or social media feeds, especially if bioluminescence is happening locally. Find a Dark Location If bioluminescence is ongoing, try to find a stretch of coast that’s as far away from light as possible. Get out before the moon rises for the best conditions and some experts also suggest that two hours after sunset is a good bet Give your eyes time to adjust and use your flashlight’s red light, which will keep your vision adjusted to the darkness. Track Hotspots The best displays can vary from night tonight, so check again on social media for updates. The environmental website Treehugger named San Diego one of the world’s eight best places to see bioluminescence. Meanwhile, north of San Francisco at Point Reyes National Seashore, To males Bay is a dependable spot for bioluminescence and you can go out on guided trips with Blue Waters Kayaking. 19.

The creature is a type of snailfish, and it’s probably the deepest fish anyone will ever find. The previous record holder, a young snailfish seen in the Mariana Trench, was filmed at a depth of 8,178 meters in 2017. Fish survive under high pressures of extreme depths because of osmolytes in their cells (细胞). The amount of osmolytes increases at greater depths to ensure fish cells don’t shrink (收缩) too much at enormous pressures, but the levels of the osmolytes reach their highest at around 8,400 meters. So that’s the limit of fish physiology (生理机能). Scientist Prosanta Chakrabarty is impressed that the fish could survive so far down, where the water pressure is 800 times that of the surface. “At that depth, ... ...
