I asked him why he was so interested in Crespo Island. 1 thought you preferred the sea to being on land.” “I do, replied the captain. But these forests are under the sea.” After going through a door, we were about ten meters under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colorful. We were going deeper and deeper. At 100 meters deep, we could see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The trees in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical(垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Suddenly, I saw a large sea spider about a meter tall. It was going to attack me, Captain Nemos man killed it with his gun, but it reminded me that the sea could be as dangerous as it was beautiful. When we reached 150 meters, it was dark. The suns light could not reach this depth. We turned our lights. We could see about 20 meters around us. Finally, we found Crespo Island-where a steep rock wall rose in front of us. We could go no further, so we walked back toward the Nautilus. Suddenly, Captain Nemo stopped and shot an animal with his gun, it was a beautiful and rare sea otter. At last, we could see the Nautilus. Several large sharks swam over us. Luckily they didnt see us. We re-entered the Nautilus safely. I was tired but amazed by what I had seen. 51. What do The trees in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. BirdsB. Giant seaweedC. FishD. Branches 52.

Attacked by Giant Spiders B Maybe its because my mother is really old, her actions have become less blunt, and her body is not as tough as before. There has always been such a gap between my mother and me, and it has pulled me away from my mother far! Every day my mother would wake me up, cook for me, and then lie on the windowsill and watch me go to school. I rarely communicate with my mother because she is very irritable and always loses her temper for no reason. One day, I went home late for fun. My mother was very angry and she raised her hand and slapped me. I shouted hysterically: Why do you hit me, I am not wrong, you are a bad mother!” My mother froze. She wanted to wipe away my tears for me, but I shook her trembling hands vigorously. She asked me softly: “Do you hate mom”“Yes! I hate！”I bite He answered her with teeth, and ran out with tears. I didnt eat that day and I fell asleep early. In the middle of the night, I was too hungry to find it, so I went to the kitchen to find food. In the dark, I saw my mother sitting on the sofa, and she muttered: “My temper must be to change, I shouldnt hit Yang Yang! I am not right!” Looking at the crying mother, the string(绳子)in my heart was gently moved again. My mother raised her hand to hit herself, and I finally couldnt help myself. “Mom! Daughter is sorry!” Mom got up and hugged me, her arms were so warm and so safe. Mom gently wiped tears for me. What a gracious hand! Your new schoolbag will be brought to you;someone will give you a flower umbrella in the rain; someone will give you the three fresh stuffings; she will give you the tears of grievance!

C How does fake meat taste? What comes to mind when you hear the phrase“space meat”? It sounds quite weird. But in fact, it could very well be the future of the human diet. A Russian astronaut recently“grew”meat aboard the International Space Station. Yes, you read that right - he grew it using cells provided by an Israeli company called Aleph Farms. But in fact, he was not the first person to create lab-grown meat. Dutch scientist Mark Post grew the first lab meat in 2013. But why bother growing meat in a lab when we can get the real thing from cows? For one thing, lab-grown meat is healthier. “We gain greater control over what the meat consists of (由组成), for example its fat content,” Post said in an interview with The Atlantic. Lab-grown meat is also free of the chemicals that are used on farms, such as pesticides (农药) and growth hormones (激素). Are there other ways to replace(代替) regular meat? McDonalds is trying to do so with the P.L.T., which stands for plant, lettuce and tomato. The first P.L.T. burgers are already being sold in Canada, according to the fast food company. The “meat” in the P.L.T. is made out of Beyond Meat, a plant-based meat substitute (替代 品) created by a company from Los Angeles, US. The company uses pea, rice and bean proteins to produce patties (肉饼) that look and taste like real meat. Experts doubt whether these products are healthier than real meat. But they have already proven to be a success, with several fast food companies already offering such products on their menus, according to Fox Business. 58.What did the Russian astronaut do recently? A.He grew meat on the International Space Station. B.He provided cells for an Israeli company. C.He built a lab for growing meat in space. D.He created the first lab-grown meat in the world. 59.Why is lab-grown meat healthier than real meat? A.Because it is produced in clean labs. B.Because it is made from healthy cells. C.Because lab meat doesnt consist of fat. D.Because producers can control whats in the meat. 59.According to the story, P.L.T. burgers_ . A.taste better than normal burgersB.are made out of plant protein C.are already being sold in the USD.are served by many fast food companies 60.What do experts think of plant-based meat products? A.They will be the future of the human diet.B.They are free from harmful chemicals. C.They might not be healthier than real meat.D.They have already proven to be a success. D Women walk in space There will soon be a “giant leap” for womankind in space.If all goes according to plan, two female NASA astronauts will take a spacewalk on March 29.This will be the first all-female spacewalk in history. Pilot Anne McClain,A US Army major (陆军少校）,and electrical engineer Chritina Koch will walk outside the International Space Station (ISS）. Their mission is to replace batteries that were installed on the ISS last summer.NASA estimates (估计）that their walk will last about seven hours. Working in space can be quite dangerous. It is typically believed that male astronauts are more suited to space mission. Women are more likely to work at ground control or do research. According to NASA, fewer than 11 percent of the more than 500 people who have been into space have been female. During the 213 spacewalks that have taken place at the ISS since 1998, the astronaut teams doing the walks have either been all- male or male-female. McClain and Kochs spacewalk is definitely a big step for women. “ It resonates (产生共鸣） with women around the agency that were at this point,” NASA spokeswoman Stephanic Schierholz told the Guardian. More women around that world are becoming astronauts. Women have certain advantages when it comes to working in space. They tend to be smaller, which means they take up less room and need less oxygen and food than men, Forbes said. Also, women are less likely to have heart attacks and are less sensitive to heat, cold,pain and noise. Studies have also shown that women deal with loneliness better than men. Female astronauts making milestones (里程碑). Valentina Tereshkova from the Soviet Union became the first woman to go into space in 1963-just two years after the first man. In 1984, Svetlana Savitskaya from the Soviet Union was the first woman to walk in space. Liu Yang became the first female astronaut from China to go into space in 2012. 62.What does the “giant leap” in the first paragraph refer to ?
