When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands. When you have a bottle of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. However, you cant dive too deep. And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water. The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. Its cold, and its dark, too. The deeper it is, the less sunlight there is. At about 3,000 feet, there is no light at all. It is dark in the sea. Many fish have no eyes. Some have big eyes. A few have eyes on one sideBesides the cold and the darkness, deep-sea animals face the third danger other animals Animals must eat! They must find food to eatMany animals eat plants.

He sent his camera crew（摄制组）out one evening to film the sunset for him .The next morning he said to the men, “ Have you provided me with that sunset ? ”“No , sir . ” the men answered .The director was angry. “ Why not ? ” he asked .“Well, sir, ” one of the men answered. “were on the east coast here , and the sets in the west . We can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary , but not a sunset . ”“But I want a sunset! ” the director shouted . “Go to the airport. Take the next flight to the west coast, and get one . ”But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why dont you photograph a sunrise. ” she suggested . “and then play it backwards ? Then itll look like a sunset. ”The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay（海湾）. Then at nine oclock they took it to the director. “Here it is sir.” they said, and gave it to him. He was very pleased.They all went into the studio（摄影棚）. “All right. “the director explained . “ now our hero and heroine are going to say good-bye . Run the film backwards so that we can see the sunset behind them . “The “sunset ” began , but after a quarter of a minute , the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop .The birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach .( )5: One evening, the director sent his camera crew out _ .Ato watch a beautiful sunsetBto film a sunset scene on the seaCto find an actor and an actressDto meet the audience( )6:Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast ?ABecause he changed his mind about getting a sunset .BBecause it was his secretarys suggestion .CBecause he was angry with his crew .DBecause he wanted to get a scene of sunset .( )7:The director wanted to film a sunset over the ocean because _ .Awhen they arrived at the beach it was already in the eveningBit was more moving than a sunriseCit went well with the separation of the hero and the heroineDthe ocean looked more beautiful at sunset( )8:After the “ sunset ” began , the director suddenly put his face in his hands _ .Aas he saw everything in the film moving backwardsBbecause he was moved to tearsCas the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imaginedDbecause he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroineCAccording to the dictionary definition of “create, ordinary people are creative every day”. To create means “to bring into being, to cause to exist something each of us does daily”.We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地),as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression,“There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining(重组) the old in new ways.”For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.( )9.Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?A. To prepare for a meal.B. To arrange the furniture in a special way.C. To buy some books from a bookstore.D. To “write” a letter with the computer.( )10.“There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that _.A. a new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest thingsB. a new thing is only a taleC. we can seldom create new thingsD. we can hardly see really new things in the world( )11.What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?A. Its more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice.B. To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing.C.A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.D. One may come up with a new thought, but cannot put it into practice.DEven in challenging economic times, making sure that study abroad is part of our college students education is an important investment (投资). If we want a new generation of leaders who can be productive in an ever more globalized world, sending our students overseas is not a luxury (奢侈). Its a necessity.Learning in a different culture and place allows us to see our own challenges as we observe smart people in other lands dealing with similar problems.American college students understand the value of study abroad. Four out of every five first-year students expect to study overseas. But at any given time, only about 2% of students are able to. Educators are especially concerned that the lack of chance for students from poor socioeconomic backgrounds will cause a “global divide” between students whove benefited from a global education and those who havent. And students for whom foreign travel is not easily affordable are the ones who benefit most from the experience. As a society, we can help improve the education of our younger generation, and brighten their futures, by making this experience more available.Is now the time to use valuable public money to send college kids overseas? Of course. Our world is one big, rapidly developing marketplace. Employers long for graduates who are multilingual (使用多种语言的) and comfortable in multicultural settings. Study abroad sharpens these skills and helps keep American workers competitive.Americans who want our next generation to be hands-on with the world working with international partners against challenges, working competitively in a globalized economy, and having enthusiasm rather than anxiety about other cultures and approaches to existing problems can get on board with the movement to help our students get a globalized education. Encourage the young people in your lives to get a passport and see the world as a classroom. Its good for America. And its fun.( )12. What is the authors attitude towards study abroad?A. Negative. B. Doubtful.C. Favorable. D. Cautious.( )13. What do educators worry about?A. Students not being able to study abroad.B. Poor students not receiving a good education.C. A possible future “global divide” among students.D. Students not being able to deal with cultural differences.( )14. According to Paragraph 4, study abroad _.A. is a huge waste of public moneyB. helps increase students competitivenessC. makes students aware of the challenges theyll faceD. teaches students how to work with international partners( )15. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.A. Americas next generation will face many difficultiesB. the author is greatly concerned about Americas futureC. Americans are trying hard to get a globalized educationD. the author is worried about young peoples development第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）命题人：黄小梅根据短文内容，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。While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it cant be avoided. _16_Try physical activity_17_ Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.Make time for yourselfSchedule time for both work and entertainment.
