19、 him. "The reef was made up of healthy corals and badly bleached white corals, like the beginning of a ghost city," he says. Just months before, the same site was filled with colorful tropical life.“Many of the hundreds of corals that had been carefully labelled and monitored finally died,

20、" he says. 4it was shocking and made me aware of just how weak these corals really are."Coral exists together with photosynthetic algae（藻类）,which live in its tissues and provide essential nutrition （and coloration）. But high temperatures and other stresses can turn algae poisonous. When th

21、is occurs, the algae may die or be removed by the coral, a process known as bleaching because the coral's clear tissue and white calcium carbonate skeleton （碳酸钙骨骼）arc exposed. If the coral can't reestablish its link with algae, it will starve or become ill.The widespread destruction Harrison

22、 saw in 1982 was repeated on many other Pacific Ocean reefs that year and the next. In 1997 and 1998 the phenomenon went global, killing some 16 percent of the world's corals. With rising temperatures, pollution, disease, increased ocean acidity, invasive species, and other dangers, Harrison'

23、;s ghost cities are expanding.Scientists suppose that about four decades ago severe bleaching occurred roughly every 25 years, giving corals time to recover. But bleaching events are coming faster nowabout every six yearsand in some places soon they could begin to happen annually."The absolute

24、key is dealing with global warming,n says marine biologist Terry Hughes. "No matter how much we clean up the water, the reefs will die." In 2016, a record-hot year in a string of them, 91 percent of the reefs that consist of the Great Barrier Reef bleached.28. Peter Harrison was shocked wh

28、and Mulin Jun Li of Tianjin Medical University has discovered two new genes potentially involved in Alzheimer's disease. They identified them by exploring which genes were turned on and off in the hippocampus（海马体）of people who suffered from the disease. The team's new findings arc published

29、on February 25th in PLOS Genetics.Alzheimer's disease is a type of brain disorder that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. This is a gradually progressive condition.

30、derstand which genes contribute to （he progression of this heritable （可遗传 的）disease, the researchers identified genes expressed at higher or lower levels in the hippocampus of people with Alzheimer's disease compared to healthy brains. They identified 24 Alzheimer's related genes that appear

32、s disease, such as cell death.The research team further validated （heir findings by comparing gene expression for the two dozen genes to images of the individuals' brains. In Alzheimer's disease, damage and loss of neurons causes the hippocampus to decrease, which can be measured through med

33、ical imaging. The researchers established that expression of two of the genes is related lo the size of the hippocampus of Alzheimer's disease.Overall, the new findings improve our understanding of the genetic and cellular mechanisms （机制）that cause Alzheimer's disease. The next step will be

34、to investigate the roles of the two novel genes and how they contribute to this harmful disease.29. How did the research team find the two genes related to Alzheimer's disease?A. By closing the hippocampus of people.B. By exploring （he switch state of the genes.C. By turning on and off the genes
