His

43、 family owns a scuba company. For the past three summers, Luca has added gardening to his underwater activities. He helps run Nemos Garden, a project to grow plants in the sea.From May through September, Luca and other divers are working on Nemos Garden in the Mediterranean Sea, 150 feet from the co

44、ast of Noli, Italy. Five large balloon-like objects, called biosphere(生物圈), hold plants such as beans and strawberries. The biosphere is filled with air and placed 20 feet below the surface. “My father came up with the idea because he loves gardening very much,” Luca said.According to Luca, the sea

45、is a good place to grow plants because underwater temperatures remain stable, changing little from day to night. The biosphere acts like greenhouses. Inside the air-filled biosphere, fresh water keeps evaporating(蒸发), providing the plants with a good environment to grow in. “We have already seen the

46、 plants, grow faster and better,” Luca says. “And there are fewer storms that can knock down the biosphere during the summer.”Luca hopes Nemos Garden will provide a new way of growing crops. “There is not enough land on the Earth,” he says. “And in many developing countries, bad conditions make it d

47、ifficult for crops to grow.”Though the project has just started, Nemos Garden has achieved success and is moving to different areas. “Were going to try growing other plants,” Luca says. “We hope to set up biosphere in other countries.

50、of the fish. One of the reasons for this is that many of us out there just simply do not know what to look for when we go fishing.Finding a place for fishing is the most important of all. All beaches are different. Some are just flat shallow sandy bottoms and in most cases they have very little to o

51、ffer the fisherman. Others may look as though they are flat and lifeless but have a drop off just off the shore (a gutter) and this is a good attractant for fish. If you dont know whether you are in a good fishing place, you can check your surroundings. For example, if you see other people catching

52、fish or have caught some, then it might be a good place to fish.However, remember patience is very important while fishing. Being quiet is nearly as important as being patient. Noise can scare fish away or make them stop eating the bait(鱼饵). Conversation is OK, but jumping or running is not.Fish may

53、 hit the bait, so its difficult for you to judge if they eat it. If you see the bobber(浮标) go under the water, it usually means the fish has taken the bait in its mouth. Then it is time for you to pull your pole out of water quickly.1What does the underlined saying in Paragraph 1 mean?AMost fishers

54、cant catch many fish.BMost beaches are not good for fishing.CA lot of people love fishing very much.DA lot of people are good at fishing.2What is the most important thing when fishing?AFinding a good place. BBeing quiet.CBeing patient. DBeing quick.3Which of the following is NOT allowed while fishin

55、g?making noise talking jumping runningA B C D4When should we pull pole out of water quickly?AWhen the fish hits the bait.BWhen the bobber goes under the water.CWhen the bobber goes up and down.DWhen there are many fish around the bobber.5The passage is mainly about _.Awhere to find a good place for

56、fishing Bwhen we can go fishingCsome tips on fishing Dthe importance of fishingF18、Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from h

57、is experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldnt have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my fat

58、her and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both o

59、f my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you cant see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at t
