While space travel still gets lot of attention, not enough attention has been paid to the exploration of oceans, about which we know much less than the dark side of the moon.
Ninety percent of the ocean floor has not even been recorded and while we have been to the moon, the technology to explore the ocean's floors is still being developed. For example, a permanent partially-underwater sea exploration station, called the Sea Orbiter, is currently in development.
The oceans play a major role in controlling our climate. But we have not learned yet how to use them to cool us off rather than contribute to our overheating. Ocean organisms are said to hold the promise of cures for a wide of the unique eyes of skate (ray fish) led to advances in conquering blindness, the horseshoe crab was important in developing a test for bacterial pollution, and sea urchins helped in the development of test-tube fertilization(人工授精). The toadfish's' ability to regenerate its central nervous system is of much interest to neuroscientists. A recent Japanese study concluded that the drug Eribulin, which was taken from sea sponges, is effective in fighting with breast, colon, and Urinary cancer.
Given the approaching crisis of water insufficiency, we badly need to improve current methods, of desalinating(淡化) ocean water and make them more efficient and less costly. By 2025, 1.8 billion people are expected to suffer from severe water shortage, with that number jumping to 3. 9 billion by 2050-well over a third of the entire global population.
If the oceansdo not make your heart go beating faster, how about engineering a bacterium that eats carbon dioxide — and thus helps protect the world from overheating — and produces fuel which will allow us to drive our cars and machines, without oil? I cannot find any evidence that people young or old, Americans or citizens of other nations would be less impressed or less inspired with such a breakthrough than with one more set of photos
of a faraway galaxy or a whole Milky Way full of stars.
4. What does the author think about the ocean exploration?
A. It is equal to the space exploration.
B. It is well developed.
C. It deserves more attention and devotion.
D. It is beyond our knowledge.
5. What technology has been developed to make use of the oceans?
A. Curing human diseases with ocean organisms.
B. Preventing the world getting warmer.
C. Mapping the global ocean floor.
D. Removing salt from sea water.
6. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. The temperature rise will be overcome by a bacterium.
B. Solving the existing problems is more significant.
C. The space exploration is worth the efforts.
D. The ocean exploration is not inspiring.
7. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Oceans, the Last Hope.
B. Oceans, the Hidden Treasure.
C. Space, the Final Frontier.
D. Space, the Faraway Dream.
C
It might have been Jimmy Kimmel, or any other sharp-tongued talk show hosts of late-night TV. In this instance, it was Samantha Bee, stating her opposition to childhood vaccinations humorously. “Who are you going to believe?” she asked. “Leading authorities on medical science, or 800 comments on your cousin’s Facebook page?”
Joking about science can have serious effects, according to studies by communication scholars. Accordingly, since 2013, Paul, a psychological professor, has conducted studies of how satire (讥讽) can influence people’s beliefs about science, which have shown that if you want to interest people in science and shape their views on hot-button science issues, satirical humor can work better.
Many Americans pay little attention to science. Even people who regularly watch TV news receive only scraps of science information in their media diet, because mainstream media outlets devote so little airtime to the subject. On top of that, some Americans may regard science as inaccessible.
Yet satirical humor can reach viewers who would never watch NOVA or read — well, National Geographic.
Millions of people watch late-night television programs live, and videos of these shows get millions of views on streaming services. In 2016, a vote conducted by the University of Delaware Center indicated that nearly one in 10 said they learned about science from late-night television shows.
Late-night hosts may occasionally poke fun at scientists. More often, however, the hosts promote a positive image of science. By making science entertaining to audience with little knowledge of the topic, late-night television could spark science engagement. Furthermore, the researchers concluded that satirical shows had the biggest impact among the least educated viewers, thus helping to narrow a gap in attention to science. Though late-night satirical humor can boost science interest and awareness, it has its limits. Science is complex, and conveying that complexity in a few minutes while telling jokes can be a challenge.
8. What does Paul’s studies of joking about science indicate?
A. It may do serious damage to science.
B. It can effectively popularize science.
C. It totally changes people’s attitude to science.
D. It will shift people’s attention from entertainment to science.
9. Why do TV watchers receive a little science information?
A. Because they enjoy watching entertainments.
B. Because science is not easy to come up with.
C. Because they find no interest in science issues.
D. Because science is scarcely seen on mainstream media.
10. What do we know about the late-night shows involving science?
A. The hosts get used to playing tricks on scientists.
B. The hosts’ aim is to build a positive image of science.
C. Education gap can be bridged through late-night shows.
D. Science participation can be promoted among their viewers.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards combining science with satire?
A. Critical.
B. Objective.
C. Positive.
D. Negative.
D
As is commonly known,Antarcticais an icy continent with extreme environment. However, a new study provides evidence that the area had a rainforest in the past.
The researchers collected a piece of Earth sediment from under the seafloor off the coast ofAntarctica. In the sediment, they discovered forest material that was estimated to be about 90 million years old. At that period, dinosaurs were the ruler animals of the land.
Johann Klages, a German geologist, was the lead writer of a study on the findings, published in the journalNature. He said the sediment was collected from a depth of about 30 meters below the ocean floor. Klages said an examination showed that the material didn’t form in the ocean.
The researchers estimate that the area — about 900 kilometers from the South Pole — had average yearly temperatures of about12°Cto13°C. The soil included fine dirt particles and hard clay, as well as substances linked to at least 65 different kinds of plants, the study found. Although no animal remains were found, Klages said there were likely dinosaurs, flying reptiles and many insects in the environment.
The research represents new evidence of the major climate changes Earth experienced in the past — and is currently undergoing today. The soil in the sediment dates back to the planet’s warmest period of the past 140 million years, with sea level about 170 meters higher than today. The researchers said that the rainforest environment inAntarcticawas especially surprising because each year, the area experiences a four-month polar night when there is no sunlight to fuel plant life. Klages said no ice sheets were present during the time, but seasonal snowfall was likely.
12. What can we learn about the sediment collected?
A. It formed in the age of dinosaurs.
B. It was found on theAntarcticaland.
C. Ancient forest material was found in it.
D. Some dinosaur remains were found in it.
13. How did the researchers reach their findings?
A. By analyzing the Earth sediment.
B. By exploring ice inAntarctica.
C. By collecting data on climate.
D. By researching special plants.
14. What can be indicated in the last paragraph?
A. Seasonal snowfall made the forest disappear.
B. Antarctica was much colder 140 million years ago.
C. Antarctica’s natural environment has changed greatly.
D. Polar nights inAntarcticaare getting shorter than before.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Rainforest disappeared fromAntarctica.
B. Antarctica had a different history of climate.
C. Researchers studied a piece of Earth sediment ofAntarctica.
D.Antarcticahad an extreme environment containing ice and snow.

Nowadays we can still see some behavior against public morals. As was often the case, people tend to talk loud in public places, annoyed others around. Spitting and littering rubbish can be seen anywhere. Besides, it’s common that the young or middle-aged sit on the bus when the elderly have to stand.
Measure must be taken to change this situation. First of all, as students, we should manage our own behavior but help people around you form good habits. Meanwhile, it is necessary for the government and some organizations to encourage people to behave proper.
Don’t undervalue the role we can play with. Do remember we can make difference! Take action right now!

Henry started his teddy bear craft-making hobby when he was only 9 years old. Now a teen, his one-of-a-kind collection has grown into thousands, but you won't find his bears on the shelf at home. His mission of kindness has the only purpose of donating his creations to put a smile on the faces of sick children and lift their spirits.
The young boy's work began one day when he was Christmas shopping with his mother. He asked if he could buy a few presents for sick children in hospitals. His mother had to infuse because the family, which included nine children, could simply not afford the extra cost. Henry told his mother not to worry-he would make the toys himself.
“I hadn’t sewed（缝纫）anything before. In the beginning, it took me a lot of practice,“ Henry recalled.
He borrowed his mother's sewing machine and got straight to work. He learned to create the toy animals by trial and error, using the Internet for instructions. It took him five hours to make his first bear, which he described as “a simple, ugly bear”. With much practice and effort, he was able to cut his time down to one hour per bear, and he began creating unique, bright-color1 ed bears that kids love to hug.
Throughout his youth, while most other children were playing video games or skateboarding , Henry was working on a sewing machine, making stuffed animals. What drives his hard work is seeing firsthand how a child changes when they are gifted a teddy bear. Each child's eyes light up with joy, and for a moment, they forget their illness.
“They smile, and some hug me. It makes their whole day better," said Henry, describing how children typically
react when he hands them a toy bear. He believes each bear inspires a sense of hope in the receiver.

1.续写词数应为150左右；
