We humans are creating big problems because of what we dont know.We take fish from the ocean to eat without really knowing where they are from, or what they eat, or how many of them there are, or if were maybe taking the last one. We dump whatever we like in the ocean and watch it float away - to where? Who cares?The ocean is a massive, unexplored area of our planet, and in the U.S., we spend less in getting to know it than we spend in getting to know outer space.And our lack of attention is showing. Ocean fish are shrinking in size from year to year; coral reefs are disappearing, and glorious ocean habitats are dying. But because they happen in the blank blue part of the globe, we dont hear about them or if we do, we dont pay attention.In April, we went on a trip to the Galpagos with 100 ocean scientists, activists and artists, filmmakers and musicians, to talk about whats going on in the ocean and what we can do to help. On the Mission Blue Voyage, we heard things and saw things that shocked us like Brian Skerrys description of a nearly lifeless ocean taken over by jellyfish (水母).Were not scientists, but we know something we can do: encourage you to talk and think about the ocean, with hope that you will be more involved in the things that will make a difference. In fact, all of us have to.56. The passage mainly talks about _.A. Traveling to the oceansB. our exploration of the oceansC. our lack of attention to the oceansD. something shocking in the oceans57. The underlined word “dump” in Para 2 probably means _.A. throw away B. sell out C. criticize D. copy58. From the passage we can know that _.A. we cause big problems because of the rubbishB. Ocean fish are disappearing because we cant hear about it.C. only scientists can make a difference in solving the problemD. US spent more exploring outer space than the oceans59. When the author heard the description of a nearly lifeless ocean taken over by jellyfish, he / she felt _.A. excited B. ashamed C. surprised D. frightenedBMany people go to work everyday and are also frustrated with the amount of time all that driving seems to take up. However, by doing a few simple things, and knowing how to avoid the worst of the traffic, going to work doesnt have to be difficult.Plan things carefully. Pack up as much as you can the night before, and make your breakfast as much as you can. make coffee at home and put it in a travel mug. Toast your bread and put it in a bag. Grab an apple or banana. Your breakfast is now going with you.In the winter, about five minutes before youre ready to leave, go outside and start your car. If theres a lot of snow on your car, knock off the loose snow and leave the rest. You wont scrape much ice if you let your car warm up. Then go back inside and gather the last things together, finish making your breakfast, or do whatever you need to do. By the time youre ready to really walk out of the door, your cars ready and waiting for you.When youre driving, look for opportunities in traffic to pass slower drivers, but dont drive like a maniac. Be realistic: keep up with the flow of traffic, but dont speed recklessly. By driving much faster or much slower than the general traffic around you, youre causing problems. Its smart to work with the other traffic, rather than against it. To avoid rush hour traffic, plan to leave early, choose the best (though possibly not the most direct) routes, and save time by eating breakfast while driving. If you do all of this, your morning driving should be much easier.60. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Ways to drive on the highway.B. Ways to keep up with the traffic while drivingC. Ways to avoid rush hour and save timeD. Ways to look for opportunities to pass61. From the third paragraph, we can infer that _.A. you must scrape all the snow on your carB. in winter theres always lots of snowC. making breakfast is not very difficultD. in winter its difficult for a car to start62. Which is NOT the way to avoid rush hour traffic according to the passage?A. Plan to leave early.B. Choose the suitable day.C. Eat breakfast while driving.D. Start your car in advance in winter.CI lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a disaster can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadnt been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise.Life, I believe, asks a series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me a potential to live, you might call it which I didnt see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. It took me years to discover and strengthen self-confidence. It had to start with the most elementary things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was mocking me and I was hurt. “I cant use this,” I said. “Take it with you,” he said to me, “and roll it around.” The words stuck in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadephias Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, once at a time. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.63. The writer lost his sight because he _.A. played baseball B. fell off a box carC. set a series of goals D. was punished by teachers64. From the sentence “ I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadnt been blind” we can infer that the writer _.A. hated to be blindB. appreciated life betterC. never believed in life beforeD. preferred to go without my eyes65. At first, what was the writers attitude towards adjustments to reality?A. worried B. positiveC. indifferent D. responsible66. Why did the writer think the man was laughing at him?A. He was blind B. He hated baseballC. He was badly hurt D. He had no self-confidenceDAround 2500 BC, an ancient tribe (部落) of Central American Indians called the Olmecs settled in the rainforests of the Yucatan Peninsula of Central America.About two thousand years later, around 400 BC, a new people suddenly appeared. These people were called the Maya. No one knows where they came from, but they arrived with amazing skills. They were an advanced civilization. They soon took over the Yucatan Peninsula of Central America.The Maya were very clever. Their system of mathematics was among the most sophisticated (先进的) in the ancient world. Like the ancient Romans, the Mayas were skilled builders. Unlike the ancient Romans, the ancient Mayas did not have metal tools. Their tools were made of stone, bone, and wood. Yet they built beautiful structures, huge cities, and excellent roads, which connected the many hundreds of cities that made up the Maya world.Around 900 AD, the Maya cities wereabandoned. A few people continued to live in the cities, but mostly, the cities were empty. The people had disappeared and gone somewhere else.Those who remained were unable or unwilling to repair the roads and buildings. The great Maya cities fell into ruin.During the 1500 years or so that the Maya Indians made their home in Central America, they build hundreds of religious centers, each filled with huge pyramids andtemples. There was at least one ball court in every city. Excellent roads ran for miles through the jungles and swamps, linking these centers of religion and learning.There are not many, but there are some Maya people still living in Central America, who remained behind in the nearly deserted cities. Still today, their crafts (手艺) are among the most beautiful in the world.67. When the Maya appeared in the Yucatan Peninsula of Central America?A. About 2500 BC B. About 400 BC C. Around 1500 AD D. Around 900 AD68. Something the Maya shared with the ancient Romans was they _.A. were good at maths B. used metal toolsC. made stone tools D. were good at building69. What does the underlined word “abandoned” in Paragraph 3 means?A. left B. returned C. built D. found70. During 1500 years or so, the Maya built the following EXCEPT _.A. pyramids B. temples C. ball courts D.
