Hundreds of emperor penguin chicks jumped offa 15- meter cliff(悬崖), as high as a five- story building.
This scene was captured by drones in January at Atka Bay, Antarctica, and was put out recently in a documentary
series called Secrets of the Penguins.
第 4页/共 11页This jump seems brave but could be lethalto these young penguins.
According to National Geographic, emperor penguins usually raise their chicks on sea ice platforms. Not long
after they turn 5 months old, the chicks have to begin their first swim in the ocean to hunt for themselves. Normally,
they just need to jump from the sea ice, which is less than a meter high.
However, he fast- melting ice in Antarctica changes the situation. The Antarctic summer sea ice has decreased
sharply since 2016, reported the BBC. in February 2023, the total area of sea ice reached a record low of 1.91
million square kilometers.
Emperors depend on sea ice for their breeding cycle, it’s the stable platform they use to bring up their young.
Peter Fretwell from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), told the BBC. If the ice platform melts or breaks apart
before they could swim, they are more likely to drown or freeze to death. For this reason emperor penguins are now
choosing to raise their babies on the ice shelf, which is firmly attached to the land. Therefore, chicks must face the
challenge of jumping offa high cliff.
“When the chicks get to this cliffface, they’re like... ‘This does not look like a fun jump, but I guess I’m
gonna have to go’,” Michelle LaRue, a scientist at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, told National
Geographic.
“Alarmingly, the decline in the ice has caused thousands of emperor penguin chicks to the in WestAntarctica
in 2022. The continuing decline of sea ice may force more emperors to make their nests on ice shelves, ” said
Fretwell. “It’s heartbreaking to think that the whole species may be gone if climate change continues on the path
that it’s on at the moment,” he added.
12. What does the underlined word “lethal” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Deadly.B. Pleasant.C. Unusual.D. Boring.
13. Why do emperor penguin chicks jump offcliffs?
A. They want to travel across the ocean.
B. They are trying to escape predators.
C. They are celebrating getting their adult feathers.
D. They have no other way to enter the water to hunt.
14. What factor is leading to emperor penguins raising their young on ice shelves?
A. Declining sea levels.
B. The rapid melting of sea ice.
C. More available food for the chicks.
第 5页/共 11页D. Bigger size of ice shelves.
15. What is the main concern Fretwell expressed- regarding emperor penguins?
AThe shorter breeding cycle.
B. Their ability to hunt for themselves.
C. The potential extinction of the species.
D. Their increased dependence on sea ice.
