According to estimates by treasure hunters，there are some three million undiscovered shipwrecks scattered across the world's oceans.Even the figures for the known wrecks are impressive.The Northern Shipwrecks Database, for example, contains 65，000 ship loss records for North America alone from 1500 AD to the present.The Dictionary of Disasters at Sea by Charles Hocking (1969) lists 12，542 sailing ships and war vessels lost between 1824 and 1962. Then there are sunken cities such as the trading town and pirate stronghold (海盗堡垒) of Port Royal in Jamaica，which disappeared beneath the waves after an earthquake in 1692.Or the remnants of ancient civilisations，such as the Lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt，and the Neolithic villages being discovered under the Black Sea，which some believe could help explain Noah's great flood. These treasures of cultural heritage are under serious threat.Technology now allows extraordinary access to the ocean depths for determined and well-financed treasure hunters.And the potential rewards are huge.In 1985，American treasure hunter Mel Fisher discovered the wreck of the Señora de Atocha，a Spanish ship that sank off the Florida Keys in 1622 with her cargo of gold，silver and jewellery worth an estimated US $400 million. An archaeologist can spend ten years or more studying a ship，conserving its objects and publishing its findings.We gain an enormous amount of information and knowledge from this work.With treasure hunters，all of this is lost.This is tragic，for humanity as a whole. 1．Why is it important and urgent to protect our underwater heritage? A．Underwater heritage is easily accessible to treasure hunters. B．Underwater heritage is out of reach of archaeologists. C．New technology makes protection of underwater heritage easier. D．There is no law to protect underwater heritage. 2．What is the third paragraph mainly about? A．Shipwrecks discovered by treasure hunters. B．The main cause of shipwrecks. C．The history of sunken ships. D．The figures of shipwrecks around the world. 3．What happened to Port Royal in 1692? A．It was washed away by flood. B．It was beneath the waves after an earthquake. C．It was discovered under the Black Sea. D．It was rebuilt by Noah. 4．Why is Mel Fisher mentioned in the fifth paragraph? A．He risked his life in treasure hunting. B．He was one of the most successful treasure hunters. C．He made a great discovery of shipwrecks. D．He had no trouble in finding a shipwreck.
