Wild hrses culd nt drag me dwn t Cape Hrn and that sinister Suthern Ocean again.”
Just befre 9 'clck n Sunday evening 28 May 1967, he arrived back in England, where a quarter f a millin peple were waiting t welcme him. Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ knighted(授予爵士称号) him with the very swrd that Queen Elizabeth Ⅰ had used almst 400 years earlier t knight Sir Francis Drake after he had sailed rund the wrld fr the first time.The whle vyage frm England and back had cvered 28,500 miles.

It's already challenging enugh fr envirnmentalists t keep beaches clear f washed-up trash and plastic debris(残骸), but the mst difficult prblem lies in cleaning up all f the millins f tiny micrplastics that are impssible t pick up and separate frm the sand.
Frtunately, a grup f engineering students succeeded in develping a massive new vacuum(真空) cleaner that can cllect micrplastics withut remving any f the sand frm the beach. The 12 Canadian students frm the University f Sherbrke in Quebec built their Hla One plastic vacuum cleaner as a class prject.
“We did sme research and we realized there was n machine arund the wrld t d this kind f jb,” Hla One c-funder Sam Duval tld Hawaii Public Radi. “S we tld each ther,‘We will invent it,’ and we did it.”
As a means f testing their machine's efficiency, they recently used it n the sands f Hawaii's Kamil Beach, which is als ntrius fr being ne f the dirtiest beaches in the wrld. Thugh their first prttype(原型)experienced a number f technical issues, the students managed t fix the prblems and tidy up the beach.
Using a handheld tube, the machine sucks(吸入)up plastic and sand and dumps them all int a massive water tank. Since rcks and sand are heavier than plastic, they sink t the bttm f the tank s they can be dumped back nt the beach. The plastic, n the ther hand, flats t the tp f the tank.
Accrding t Hawaii Public Radi, the team left the Hla One vacuum n the island as a dnatin t the state department. They are nw researching the eclgical effects f the vacuum n the beach while they are searching fr funding and spnsrships(赞助款)t prduce mre Hla One vacuums.

It seems we can't get ff the planet fast enugh. Tw thirds f NASA's mney is spent n manned space explratin, and that number will grw with the USA's decisin t send a man t Mars in 2037. We've seen all that is t see n Earth, right? Wrng. The final place is here, under the surface f the sea.
Heading dwn int the cean, human limits are quickly reached. At 200 metres, the water is as black as a mnless night. Mst nuclear submarines wuld implde (内爆) befre they reach 1 km dwn. At 3 km—still less than the average depth f the cean—there's a gd chance that yu'll discver a new species. The deepest-diving whales g n further. At the very bttm, abut 11 km dwn, lies the Challenger Deep, the deepest part f the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Eighteen humans have walked n the Mn, but nly three have seen the deep with their wn eyes.
Yet things live dwn there. Big things. A very lud sund was nce heard and scientists suggested that it was prduced by an animal bigger than a blue whale, the largest creature knwn n the planet.
In the late 1990s, a deep-water submarine was drpped in the Suthern Ocean, and passing 4,000 metres, it discvered smething huge passing under it. Surprised? Dn't be. The cean cvers 70% f the planet's surface and we've studied less than 5% f it. We knw mre abut the dark side f the Mn than abut the bttm f the sea.
One reasn why we explre space is t find evidence f ther life frms. The search fr life utside f Earth is imprtant, but rbts can lk under the dry rcks f Mars better than humans. They're abslutely imprtant fr ding cean research t, but they can't lk under the sea. The cst f explratin is rising, but the results wuld benefit all ur lives. Understanding the ceans will help us find new surces f fd, drugs and energy.
Perhaps nw it's time t begin a new perid f sea explratin. Manned space explratin is science fictin. The adventure f the deep sea is science fact.
8.What d the examples in Paragraph 2 suggest?
A.Sea explratin is n easy task.
B.Nuclear submarines need t be imprved.
C.The cean is far deeper than peple expected.
D.The cnditin under the sea is similar t that n the Mn.
9.What d we knw abut the Challenger Deep?
A.Blue whales live there.
B.N ne has ever been there.
C.Peple are terrified by the sight f it.
D.It is the deepest knwn lcatin f the Mariana Trench.
10.What des the authr think f the discvery in the Suthern Ocean?
A.It's surprising.
B.It's n wnder.
C.It's wrrying.
D.It's n success.
11.What des the authr want t tell us?
A.Space explratin is f little value.
B.We spend t much mney n space travel.
C.Humans' success lies in hw much they explre the sea.
D.The cean is the place where we shuld make ur effrts.
D
I dn't think I can recall a time when I wasn't aware f the beauty f the cean. Grwing up in Australia, I had the gd frtune t have the sea at my side. The first time I went t Half Mn Bay, I suddenly had the feeling f nt being able t feel the grund with my feet anymre.
Fr my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken ut t the Great Barrier Reef. There were fish in different clrs,caves and layers f cral. They made such an impressin n me. When I learned that nly 1 percent f Australia's Cral Sea was prtected,I was shcked. Australian marine life is particularly imprtant because the reefs have mre marine species than thse f any ther cuntry n earth. But sadly, nly 45% f the wrld's reefs are cnsidered healthy.
This statistic is depressing, s it's imprtant fr us t d everything t prtect them. The hpe that the Cral Sea remains a cmplete ecsystem has led me t take actin. I've becme invlved with the Prtect Our Cral Sea activity,which aims t create the largest marine park in the wrld. It wuld serve as a place where the cean's species will all have a safe place frever.
Tgether,Angus and I created a little vide and we hpe it will inspire peple t be a part f the mvement. Angus als shared many beautiful childhd memries f the cean as a yung by,wh grew up sailing, admiring the beauty f the cean, and trying t find the secrets f underwater marine species.
12.What can we learn abut Australian marine life accrding t the secnd paragraph?
A.It is escaping frm the Cral Sea gradually.
B.It depends n reefs fr living greatly.
C.It may be faced with danger.
D.It is prtected better than that in ther ceans.
13.What is the Prtect Our Cral Sea activity intended t d?
A.It is intended t cntribute t a cmplete ecsystem.
B.It is intended t prevent mre marine species frm being endangered.
C.It is intended t set up a large nature reserve fr reefs.
D.It is intended t raise mre teenagers' envirnmental awareness.
14.Why did Angus and the authr create a little vide?
A.T urge mre peple t take actin t prtect the marine species.
B.T inspire mre peple t explre the secret f the cean.
C.T share their childhd experiences abut the cean.
D.T bring back pleasant memries f marine species.
15.What can be learned abut the authr frm the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?
A.He seldm went surfing at the sea.
B.He frgt his experiences abut the cean.
C.He never went back t his hmetwn.
D.He had a wnderful impressin f Half Mn Bay.

I'm an cean lver. Living in Mntreal, far away frm the cean, makes it even mre a dreamland fr me. 16 And I've been ding it fr the last 20 years.
When I was yunger, I wuld pick up seashells and little stnes and bring them back hme. 17 But as I visited the cean mre and mre, I started picking up the garbage left by sme peple. I picked up less and less “cean treasure”. 18
I realized that a stne r seashell we find in the cean had a wnderful clr that makes us pick it up. But when it dries up ne day, r we dn't find what we have kept lvely anymre, what can we d then? 19 At the same time, I als realized that natural things were nice in their natural envirnment. If everybdy picked up every shell frm the cean, and left garbage there, the beach wuld becme smething nt s nice very shrtly.
20 I wuld just “brrw” seashells r little stnes frm the cean, and bring them back after a while, since the beauty f shells des s much gd t me.
I cntrl the quantity and keep it t the smallest number. S if yu've seen a lady picking up garbage and thrwing shells back int the cean frm a bx r a bag n a beautiful sunny day, dn't feel strange. It was prbably me.
A.S I made a decisin that day.
B.I began t questin my habits.
C.I try t visit it at the very least, nce a year.
D.I will regret why I picked it up in the first place.
E.I had lts f them n my shelves, flrs and desks.

At the very bttm, abut 11 km dwn, lies the Challenger Deep, the deepest part f the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Eighteen humans have walked n the Mn, but nly three have seen the deep with their wn eyes.
Yet things live dwn there. Big things. A very lud sund was nce heard and scientists suggested that it was prduced by an animal bigger than a blue whale, the largest creature knwn n the planet.
In the late 1990s, a deep-water submarine was drpped in the Suthern Ocean, and passing 4,000 metres, it discvered smething huge passing under it. Surprised? Dn't be. The cean cvers 70% f the planet's surface and we've studied less than 5% f it. We knw mre abut the dark side f the Mn than abut the bttm f the sea.
One reasn why we explre space is t find evidence f ther life frms. The search fr life utside f Earth is imprtant, but rbts can lk under the dry rcks f Mars better than humans. They're abslutely imprtant fr ding cean research t, but they can't lk under the sea. The cst f explratin is rising, but the results wuld benefit all ur lives. Understanding the ceans will help us find new surces f fd, drugs and energy.
Perhaps nw it's time t begin a new perid f sea explratin. Manned space explratin is science fictin. The adventure f the deep sea is science fact.

I dn't think I can recall a time when I wasn't aware f the beauty f the cean. Grwing up in Australia, I had the gd frtune t have the sea at my side. The first time I went t Half Mn Bay, I suddenly had the feeling f nt being able t feel the grund with my feet anymre.
Fr my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken ut t the Great Barrier Reef. There were fish in different clrs,caves and layers f cral. They made such an impressin n me. When I learned that nly 1 percent f Australia's Cral Sea was prtected,I was shcked. Australian marine life is particularly imprtant because the reefs have mre marine species than thse f any ther cuntry n earth. But sadly, nly 45% f the wrld's reefs are cnsidered healthy.
This statistic is depressing, s it's imprtant fr us t d everything t prtect them. The hpe that the Cral Sea remains a cmplete ecsystem has led me t take actin. I've becme invlved with the Prtect Our Cral Sea activity,which aims t create the largest marine park in the wrld. It wuld serve as a place where the cean's species will all have a safe place frever.
Tgether,Angus and I created a little vide and we hpe it will inspire peple t be a part f the mvement. Angus als shared many beautiful childhd memries f the cean as a yung by,wh grew up sailing, admiring the beauty f the cean, and trying t find the secrets f underwater marine species.
12.What can we learn abut Australian marine life accrding t the secnd paragraph?
A.It is escaping frm the Cral Sea gradually.

C.It may be faced with danger.
D.It is prtected better than that in ther ceans.

A.It is intended t cntribute t a cmplete ecsystem.
B.It is intended t prevent mre marine species frm being endangered.
C.It is intended t set up a large nature reserve fr reefs.
D.It is intended t raise mre teenagers' envirnmental awareness.
14.Why did Angus and the authr create a little vide?
A.T urge mre peple t take actin t prtect the marine species.
B.T inspire mre peple t explre the secret f the cean.
C.T share their childhd experiences abut the cean.
D.T bring back pleasant memries f marine species.

But when it dries up ne day, r we dn't find what we have kept lvely anymre, what can we d then? 19 At the same time, I als realized that natural things were nice in their natural envirnment.

20 I wuld just “brrw” seashells r little stnes frm the cean, and bring them back after a while, since the beauty f shells des s much gd t me.

Jenny was the nly child in her family. She had a quarrel with her mther that afternn and she ran ut f the huse angrily. She culdn't help weeping srrwfully when she thught f the sclding frm her mther. Having wandered aimlessly in the street fr hurs, she felt a little hungry and wished fr smething t eat. She std beside a stand(货摊) fr a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy ding his business. Hwever, with n mney in hand, she gave a sigh and had t leave. The seller behind the stand nticed the yung girl and asked, “Hey, girl, yu want t have the ndles?” “Oh, yes, but I dn't have mney n me,” she replied.
“That's nthing. I'll treat yu tday,” said the man. “Cme in.” The seller brught her a bwl f ndles, the smell s attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nthing. Actually I was just tuched by yur kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger n the street will give me a bwl f ndles, while my mther drve me ut f the huse. She shwed n care fr me. She is s merciless cmpared t a stranger!” Hearing the wrds, the seller smiled, “Girl, d yu really think s? I nly gave yu a bwl f ndles and yu thanked me a lt. But it is yur mther wh has raised yu since yu were a baby. Can yu number the times she cked fr yu? Have yu expressed yur gratitude t her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shck;she remembered her mther's familiar face and weathered (饱经风霜的)hands. “Why didn't I think f that? A bwl f ndles frm a stranger made me feel indebted(感激的). Why haven't I thanked my mum fr what she has dne fr me?” On the way hme, Jenny made up her mind t make an aplgy t her mther fr her rudeness as sn as she arrived hme.
