Hundreds of feet below the ocean’s surface, somewhere between the dark ocean floor and the bright blue shallows, lies the twilight zone. It’s a world of the unknown, and many assumed that the lack of light and cold temperatures meant few species could exist there.
But one scientist has been diving into the inky depths to show there’s much more to life there than was first thought. Rocha, a researcher from the California Academy of Sciences, was attracted to twilight zone reefs because of their mystery(神秘). “Every dive we do to those depths leads to a new discovery,” he says. To date, he has identified over 300 new species.
Entering the twilight zone is no easy feat. Recreational diving is capped at 130 feet for safety reasons, but Rocha dives as far as 500 feet. To do this requires deep concentration, intense technical training and a strong dose of bravery. Rocha usually dives in a group with two scientists and one safety officer. They spend hours preparing the kit, ensuring every piece of equipment is functioning well and that they are equipped to deal with underwater emergencies.
While the twilight zone has been explored by very few people, the effects of human activity are still apparent. One of their first discoveries is that those deeper reefs are really not a shelter for shallow reef organisms. They are almost as impacted as the shallow reefs are. They find plastic waste and fishing gear in some of the deepest reefs and has observed the impact of overfishing and climate change.
Rocha hopes that his research can help to educate people about the twilight zone and inspire action to protect it. “I don’t think it’s enough just to do the science. We take many, many photographs... and we bring those stories back up to the surface and we share it with as many people as possible. For the most part, I’d like to let people realize that those creatures are under threat,” he says.
24、Why do many people think there is few species at the twilight zone?
A. It isn’t far from the ocean’s surface.
B. It is cold and lacks light.
C. It is completely dark all day.
D. It is a world that people cannot get to.
25、What can we know about the twilight zone?
A. There are only a lot of reefs there.
B. People have much knowledge about it.
C. There are a large number of various living things.
D. There aren’t as many species as people think before.
26、How is Rocha’s journey to the twilight zone?
A. It is risky. B. It is easy. C. It is comfortable. D. It is lonely.
27、What can be inferred from Rocha’s words in the last paragraph?
A. His scientific research is hardly inspirational.
B. Taking pictures underwater is enjoyable.
C. Humans are responsible for protecting the twilight zone.
D. The research at the twilight zone is now under threat.
SF or sci-fi, short for science fiction, is a form of fiction that deals mainly with the impact of actual or imagined science upon society or individuals. It appeared in the West, where the social transformations brought about by the Industrial Revolution first led writers and intellectuals(知识分子) to think of the future impact of technology, and was popularized in the 1920s by the American publisher Hugo Gernsback. The Hugo Awards, given annually since 1953 by the World Science Fiction Society, are named after him.
Science fiction writers, whose themes are around space travel, robots, alien beings, and time travel, etc. , often seek out new scientific and technical developments in order to forecast freely the techno-social changes. Though writers in antiquity sometimes dealt with themes common to modern science fiction , their stories made no attempt at scientific and technological explanation , the feature that distinguishes (区分)science fiction from earlier imaginative writing , such as fantasies and horror works.
Science fiction itself comes in two main types: hard sci-fi and soft sci-fi. Hard science fiction is based on scientific accuracy and known facts, featuring “real” science. This approach can enhance the authenticity of the story and the idea that the plot’s event could, likely, happen. Examples of hard science fiction include Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, The Time Machine, etc. Soft science fiction places greater emphasis on the human aspects of the story, integrating sciences of human behaviour. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein , Robert A. Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land , and Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness are all soft science fiction novels.
The purpose of this genre(体裁) is to explore the possible about the unknown. It gives readers an idea of what might happen in the future if certain events一such as scientific breakthroughs or technological advances一come to pass and how humans might respond accordingly. Given its imaginative nature, science fiction inspires readers to forecast a more advanced, innovative, and adventurous future.
Science fiction is creative ground for filmmakers. Besides, there are plenty of science fiction themes of popular small-screen programmes on television, as well as in graphic novels and comic books.
28、What’s mainly discussed in the first paragraph?
A. The origin of sci-fi.
B. An introduction of Hugo Awards.
C. The functions of Industrial Revolution.
D. The impact of writers and intellectuals in the 1920s.
29、Why does not earlier imaginative writings belong to sci-fi?
A. They are not created in modern times.
B. Their themes are uncommon to modern sci-fi’s.
C. They are based on neither science nor technology.
D. Their explanations cannot be understood by modern people.
30、Which can replace the underlined word “authenticity” in Paragraph 3?
A. Value. B. Truth. C. Reputation. D. Calculation.
31、Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Sci-Fi Writers B. Hard Sci-Fi and Soft Sci-Fi
C. Science Fiction D. Sci-Fi Filmmakers
The Canada goose is the largest species of true goose. Its scientific name, Branta canadensis, means “black or burnt goose from Canada”. While Canada goose is the bird’s official and preferred name, it is also known colloquially(通俗地)as the Canadian goose.
The Canada goose has a black head and neck and a white “ chinstrap (下巴)” that distinguish it from other geese. Its body is brown.

Where you can find Canada geese varies based on what time of year it is. In some areas, the geese are becoming permanent residents, when they used to migrate south for the winter. The southern United States is their home during the winter, the northern United States has a year-round population, and Canada has a summer population.

36、The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant.

On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. ④______ The colours were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother’s expression how happy she was just to be with the child.

54、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There’s a park close to my house, with a small lake in one corner that’s home to many creatures. Every Sunday morning, I go jogging in this park. As I circle the lake, I notice an elderly woman sitting by the water with a metal cage beside her.
Today, my curiosity made me stop and approach her.
As I took a closer look, I saw that the cage was actually a small metal trap, and there were a few turtles walking around the trap, unharmed. The lady took one of the turtles in her hands and gently rubbed the shell(壳) with a sponge(海绵) brush.
I came over to say hello to her politely. “Good morning,” I said. “I come here for jogging every Sunday morning and I see you sitting here by the lake. Please don’t mind my curiosity and innocence, but I really want to know what you’re doing to the turtles.”
The lady smiled and said, “I am cleaning the turtle’s shell. Turtles gradually get more and more algae(水藻) and other dirt on their shells, which weighs them down and prevents their swimming abilities. It also reduces their ability to absorb heat. Over time, their shells become weak and rot(腐烂) away.”
“Oh wow! That’s really thoughtful of you!” I shouted in shock.
She continued, “Every Sunday morning, I spend a couple of hours by the lake to relax and help out these little guys stay clean. Strange as it sounds, this is my little way to make a difference in the world.”
I thought for a while and said, “But all freshwater turtles have algae and other dirt on their shells. They live with that their whole lives, don’t they?”
“Yes, sadly, they can’t help it,” she replied.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
However, I wasn’t completely sure whether it was worthwhile.

20、答案：B
解析：M/W: Alice works at a local department store. She spends most of her day interacting with customers and co-workers. There’s a lot of talking involved, but there’s also another form of nonverbal communication that’s being used just as often —body language. We read body language and interpret it as some expressions of feelings or intentions. Even before she speaks, she may be communicating all kinds of things to customers. For example, Alice has a habit —she sometimes stands with her arms folded across her body. So customers may find her to be very unfriendly. However, Alice is a friendly person, even though her body language suggests otherwise. But if Alice is aware of her habit, she can work on improving her body language. This awareness can also be applied to reading others5 body language. Let’s say Alice notices that her co-worker Tim is unusually quiet and turns his body away from her. She can know that he’s upset. Depending on Alice’s relationship with him, she may want to give him some space or ask if anything is wrong.

And 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells, are your efforts really making an impact?” The lady laughed out loud, then looked up at me and said, “Dear, if this little one could speak, he’d gladly tell you that my care towards him makes a big difference in the world.” Her words made me understand one important lesson in life. Every little act of kindness counts.
“Can I help you clean the turtles?” I asked the lady. “Of course, you can,” she nodded and said with pleasure. She taught me patiently and told me how to make the turtles clean again. “You should rub the shell of them gently, otherwise you will hurt them,” she reminded me. I picked up a little turtle, trying to imitate her and using the sponge brush to clean the shell. With the algae and scum got rid of, the turtle looked relaxed and joyful. The old woman and I smiled at each other.
