How bloody a scene!
Blood Falls in Antarctica is a waterfall(瀑布) which shoots blood-red water into a river. The sight is a perfect background for a horror film: mysterious and of course bloody. Its special color was long believed to be caused by red algae(红藻). Until 2017, the true cause of the so-called blood was proved to be oxidized iron in saltwater.
As an impressive yet dangerous sight, frozen bubbles(气泡) can be seen in winters at Abraham Lake in Canada. When methane(甲烷) gas gets crowded underwater and freezes, it will finally form this special sights—frozen bubbles. Such plenty of methane is highly risky. So even a lit match nearby can cause an explosion(爆炸).

The smooth sand and lowest water level create such an unbelievable sight. Also known as the "Mirror of the sky", this water beach is an amazing place to take pictures and thus a perfect travel destination.

A. Oxidized iron.
B. Red algae.

2. What's the best heading for the second news?
A. How beautiful a lake!

There are far too many mysteries in this world that we have yet to discover. Some of them are hidden in the most unlikely places.
4.
In a small town of Gryfino in Poland lies one of the world's mysteries that have been known—a small group of pine trees. 5.
According to the scientists, the pine trees there were planted around 1930. Though they are strange in shape, these trees are generally healthy. 6.
7.
The most possible explanation is that local farmers shaped the trees when planting them then. During those times, it was common for farmers to shape their plants for special purposes. 8.
A. Most of them are very tall.
B. These trees look strange in shape.
C. Others remain unsolved even up to today.
D. However, that is only one of the guesses from people.
E. There are many guesses at the mystery in the forest.

C
In a small town of Gryfino in Poland lies one of the world's mysteries that have been known—a small group of pine trees. 5.
B
From the bottom, these trees grow with a 90-degree bend northwards, but then go back to grow straight up into the sky.According to the scientists, the pine trees there were planted around 1930. Though they are strange in shape, these trees are generally healthy. 6.
A
Some even grow nearly 15.24 meters. That's about the height of a five-story building.7.
E
Some suppose that the special gravity(重力) in this area has caused the trees to bend northwards. But it seems that this guess isn't proper, because gravity only pulls things downwards and doesn't make them bend. Others guess that the heavy snowfall in the area weighed down the trees as they were small. However, if that is the case, how would they explain that the other trees are the same in this area?The most possible explanation is that local farmers shaped the trees when planting them then. During those times, it was common for farmers to shape their plants for special purposes. 8.
D
The secret behind the tree is still waiting for us to discover.A. Most of them are very tall.
B. These trees look strange in shape.
C. Others remain unsolved even up to today.
D. However, that is only one of the guesses from people.
E. There are many guesses at the mystery in the forest.

4. 空格前提到世界有很多未解之谜，部分藏在不起眼处，空格后引出波兰小镇的松树之谜，需承接“未解之谜”的延续性表述，C选项“Others remain unsolved even up to today”（还有一些至今未解决）符合逻辑，故4选C。
5. 空格后描述松树“从底部向北90度弯曲再向上生长”的形态，需总述树的形态特点，B选项“These trees look strange in shape”（这些树形状奇怪）引出后文对形态的具体描述，故5选B。
6. 空格后提到树高近15.24米（约五层楼），需说明树的高度特征，A选项“Most of them are very tall”（它们大多很高）衔接后文的高度数据，故6选A。
7. 空格后开始列举关于松树之谜的各种猜测，需总述“有很多猜测”，E选项“There are many guesses at the mystery in the forest”（对森林里的这个谜团有很多猜测）引出后文的猜测内容，故7选E。
8. 空格前提到“农民塑形是最可能的解释”，空格后说秘密仍待发现，需说明这只是众多猜测中的一个，D选项“However, that is only one of the guesses from people”（然而，那只是人们的猜测之一）衔接前后文，故8选D。
