the task. twenty minutes later, the professor took all the papers. after a quick look, he began to read each one of them aloud. they all described the black dot, trying to explain its position, etc. im not going to grade you. i just wanted to give you something to think about. no one wrote about the white part of the paper. everyone focused on the black dot, and the same thing happens in our lives,” the professor said. “our life is a gift. we always have reasons to celebrate, being alive and healthy, the beauty of nature, our friends, the job that provides us a way to make a living, etc. however, we keep focusing only the dark spots, such as the health problems, the family arguments, the disappointments with friends, etc.” “the dark spots are very small compared to everything else we

put flowers in it every day. he provides snacks and tells guests where they can go and shower. but airbnb does have some problems. sometimes the room or apartment you live in is not as nice as it

living two miles below the surface of the mediterranean sea (地中海水面) . their bodies have many cells（细胞）and look like small umbrellas with legs, but they are animals.the most exciting thing about these animals, say the scientists, is that they seem to live without oxygen(氧). what scientists have known about life so far is that only single-celled living things can live in places that have no oxygen. these newly-found animals could change that idea.these animals live in a place where the water is so salty that it cant mix with the seawater above it. usually seawater has oxygen in it which allows animals like fish to live but the salty waters where they live dont have oxygen. during three experiments in 1998, 2005 and 2008, scientists found many such small animals at the bottom（底部）of the mediterranean sea.finding animals down there was so surprising that some scientists couldnt believe it. some scientists thought it was just a joke. to find out whether the animals could actually live without oxygen, scientists took up some of these animals from the ocean floor. they placed them in small bottles which have no oxygen inside. to their surprise, these animals appeared to be still alive there after a long time. when the researchers did more tests, they found that some of the animals had eggswhich suggested they even could give birth to their young without oxygen. finally, scientists found that the insides of the animals appear to be used to living in an environment that has no oxygen. now scientists are doing more experiments about these small animals. and if theyre right, they will need to rethink what they know about where animals live.32. whats the best title for the passage?a. life under the ocean. b. the newly-found animals.c. animals living without oxygen.d. experiments about small animals33. what do the underlined words “that idea” in the second paragraph refer to?a. the newly-found animals have no cells. b. there are no living things deep under the sea.c. the newly-found animals can live in salty water.d. only single-celled animals can live without oxygen.34. there is no oxygen in the water where the newly-found animals live because.a. the water is very saltyb. there is no fish in the waterc. it is mixed with seawaterd. it is on the surface of the sea35. in which part of a newspaper is this passage most likely to be found?a. health report. b. nature. c. business news. d. entertainment.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。选项中有两项为多余选项。want to be a successful high school student? check out these things.set short-term
