He did it alone on a specially designed 24-foot stand-up paddleboard named the Ocean Defender.De la Rosa completed the 2,951-mile trip from San Francisco to Oahu, Hawaii, in late August after setting out in early June. “SAVE the OCEAN," the side of his paddleboard reads. “NO plastics, NO nets, RECYCLE." And along the way, he saw plastic at every turn, some of which may have been part of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch."I keep seeing every day some plastic packaging and remains of fishing nets," he wrote on a translated Facebook post. “Although it's not much, there is no day on which I don't spot some plastic floating. We need to change things as soon as possible and try not to return waste to the ocean.”De la Rosa posted daily Facebook updates and videos that he shot on a GoPro camera. He shared everything from his physical struggles with sunburn and wind to his successful attempts at fishing.Because he didn't have a support vehicle following on his trip, he packed food, a desalination(海水淡化)system for drinking water, and other necessities to last for his entire journey.His vessel (船)was a combination of a paddleboard and a small boat. It had a small watertight room for sleeping and storage, and weighed 1,543 pounds. Solar panels kept his GPS, satellite phone and router(路由器)charged. He said that on a good-weather day, he paddled about 40 or 50 miles. But if the current(水流)was strong, he maybe only went 10 miles.De la Rosa says he was the first person to cross the Pacific Ocean on a stand-up paddleboard. But this isn't his first travel. He also raced across the Atlantic Ocean in a rowing vessel alone and canoed across the Canary Islands. “Every y ear I think, 'OK. What will I do next year?' I love this kind oflife," he said.24. What is De la Rosa's purpose of traveling across the Pacific Ocean?A. To appeal to people to stop polluting it.B. T o seek a sense of excitement in the ocean.C. To encourage people to appreciate its beauty.D. To conduct research into its present situation.25. How did De la Rosa deal with what he saw on the trip?A. He kept track of it secretly.B. He took it away with his boat.C. He shared it with people online.D. He had others take pictures of it.26. What can be learned about De la Rosa's vessel?A. It was powered by solar energy.B. It was not equipped with any engine.C. It hardly traveled very smoothly.D. It got support from another vehicle.27. Which of the following words best describes De la Rosa as an athlete?A. Optimistic.B. Confident.C. Adventurous.D. Demanding.CRussia's Soyuz spacecraft, which has been transporting all astronauts to and from the International Space Station(ISS) since 2020, typically carries acrew of three. However, the MS-14 capsule launched (发射)from a Russian spaceport in southern Kazakhstan on August 22,2020, had just one passenger—a human-like robot named Skybot F-850.The robot is the latest version of Russia's FEDOR robots, which were initially designed to help with search and rescue efforts. Skybot is good at many human skills, including driving a car, having short conversations, and even telling jokes. But since it lacks some special skills, the spacecraft to the ISS was piloted from the ground by scientists from Russia's space agency, Roscosmos.The six-foot-tall, 350-pound robot had another important task while on board. Without risking the lives of human astronauts, it helped Roscosmos researchers test the safety and flight experience of the new Soyuz-2.1, a carrier rocket, which carried the spacecraft into orbit. The feedback(反馈)will be important in determining if the rocket is safe to transport future human crews to space.Though the launch into orbit went smoothly, Skybot's arrival at the ISS was delayed by three days, from August 24 to August 27. The delay didn't seem to bother the robot, which announced its arrival? “Sorry about the delay. Met with traffic. Ready to work now.”Skybot's two-week task is largely a test to measure its ability to workeffectively in microgravity, and includes simple tasks like using tools. If all goes well, Russia hopes to send more advanced versions of the FEDOR robots to help astronauts with special tasks.Earlier this year, the US space agency launched two little robots called Astrobees to help astronauts with daily chores, like finding lost pieces of equipment. Meanwhile, the European Space Agency's social AI-powered CIMON spent a year assisting astronauts, before returning to Earth on August 27, 2020.28. What is Skybot F-850 unable to do?A. Drive a vehicle like humans.B. Conduct short conversations.C. Say something funny to people.D. Pilot the spacecraft to the ISS.29. How long did it take Skybot F-850 to fly to the ISS?A. Two days.B. Three days.C. Five days.D. Fourteen days.30. We infer from the text that Skybot .A. is bound to take the place of human crewsB. isn't the first robot to help at the space stationC. worked with three other robots to assist astronautsD. was launched to measure its security and flexibility31. Where is the text most likely from?A. A science experiment.B. A news report.C. A technology guidebook.D. A research paper.DArtists are continually trying to find creative ways to show their talent. Some, like Iris Scott, paint with their bare fingers. Now Turkish artist Garip Ay has become well-known worldwide by adopting Ebru, an ancient technique that allows him to create amazing paintings on water.Believed to have originated in Central Asia in the 13th century, Ebru made its way to Turkey by the 16th century, where it was perfected. The art form remains popular in Turkey, with many painters using the technique to create attractive pieces, coveted by both collectors and tourists.Ebru artists begin by adding some gum to water to help increase the water's viscosity(黏度)and prevent it from mixing with the paint. The solution (溶液)is then poured into a wooden container with the same dimensions as the solid surface on which the painting will finally rest. To keep the colors afloat, and improve their ability to spread across the water's surface, some drops of ox bile(胆汁)are mixed in with each color.To create the paintings, the artists first splash(泼洒)the paints on the water using brushes made with horsehair. They then use droppers(滴管)to carefully shape the colors and create the perfect designs. When complete，, an absorbent surface, such as paper, is carefully placed on top to get thepainting. Once dry, the artwork is flattened and polished by hand.Ebru was initially used for book covers or to decorate the inside pages with wildly colorful papers. However, artists like Ay have added a modern twist by using absorbent fabrics, glass, and wood as solid surfaces.Though Ay has created several amazing paintings since he began using Ebru in 2020, the most famous is his 2020 recreation of Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night. Those seeking a more modern Ebru creation is pleased to know that in 2020. The artist also painted characters from the popular Netflix series, Stranger Things.32. What does the underline word "coveted" in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Produced.B. Impressed.C. Desired.D. Learned.33. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The preparations for creating Ebru paintings.B. How to mix up water and a variety of colors.C. The whole process of creating Ebru paintings.D. How to spread paints across the water's surface.34. What role does Garip Ay play in Ebru?A. He adds a traditional twist to it.B. He discovers it in Starry Night.C. He comes up with it and spreads it.D. He makes some improvements on it.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Great Artists Create a Lot of Unique PaintingsB. A Turkish Artist Is Famous for His PaintingsC. Painting on Water Becomes Possible EventuallyD. An Ancient Technique Is Used to Paint on Water第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
