4 . On January 22, a massive iceberg broke off from Antarctica’s (南极洲的) Brunt Ice Shelf. Scientists say the iceberg was expected to break off and the event isn’t connected to climate change. But the size of the iceberg is hard to imagine. This iceberg covers an area of about 600 square miles. That’s about twice the size of New York City.

Antarctica is covered with a layer of ice and snow that’s roughly 1.2 miles thick. As snowfalls, it piles up in the center of Antarctica in a huge layer of ice. Overtime, the weight of this ice and snow creates slowly moving rivers of ice called glaciers, which push out toward the sea.

When the glaciers reach these a，they slowly push out beyond the edge of the land, forming huge“ice shelves”. These are massive sections of ice that spread out over these a, floating on the water below. From time to time, the edges of the ice shelves break off. This is a natural process, called “calving (冰裂作用)”. Though calving events area normal part of the ice shelf in Antarctica, one expert describes huge calving events like this are “quite rare and exciting”.

This is the second time in two years that a huge iceberg has calved from the Brunt Ice Shelf. Though this calving event had nothing to do with the climate crisis, the world’s rising temperatures are definitely affecting Antarctica’s sea ice.

Unlike a nice shelf, sea ice isn’t attached to Antarctica’s land. It’s a layer of ice that floats on the surface of these a. The sea ice is there year-round. It grows larger in the cold winters, and smaller as it begins to melt in the summers. It’s now summer in Antarctica, and scientists say the sea ice is disappearing “unusually” rapidly. Last year, with temperatures warmer than normal, Antarctica set a record for the lowest amount of sea ice ever recorded. Scientists say Antarctica’s sea ice could set a new record low again this year.

1. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2?

A．How bad the temperature in Antarctic is.

B．How slowly-moving glaciers are formed.

C．Why so much snow and ice are in Antarctic.

D．What causes the glaciers to move slowly.

2. What does a specialist think of this calving event?

A．Unpredictable.

B．Incredible.

C．Disastrous.

D．Beneficial.

3. What can we infer about the Antarctica sea ice from the last paragraph?

A．It is fixed on Antarctica’s land.	B．No season can change its size.
C．Scientists worry about its size.	D．It will return to normal next year.

4. What can be the best title of this text?

A．It’s Urgent to Protect Antarctica	B．The Climate in Antarctica Is Warmer
C．Massive Iceberg Breaks From Antarctica	D．Antarctica’s Sea Ice Grows Larger in Summer
