B There's much to see under the sea，but you need to remember that light behaves differently in water than in air.The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are.You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it. Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface，too.Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away.That fish might not be so big after all！It's just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water! What's more，in deeper water，colors just don't seem as bright.In fact，it looks as if some colors are missing.Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths (波长) of light that are reflected (反射) from its surface.And light is taken in as it moves down through the water. Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater.Let's take a bright red，yellow，and blue wet suit as an example.These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water.Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in the water.The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths，the longest among these three colors，are missing.As you go down deeper，the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part.Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater，you will look terrible，like a monster！And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again! (C)56.You miss the object underwater when you want to touch it because ________． A．your eyesight is quite poor B．you are not quick enough C．it is not as close as it seems D．it disappears very quickly (B)57.The example of the wet suit is used to explain the change of ________ of an object underwater. A．the size B．the color C．the position D．the weight (D)58.The underlined word “descend” probably means “________” in Chinese in this passage. A．上升 B．漂浮 C．屏息 D．下潜 (B)59.Which of the following is TRUE? A．A four­meter­long fish looks three meters long underwater. B．The wavelengths of red light are longer than those of blue light. C．Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the water. D．You will see a monster if you go as deep as 6 to 9 meters into the sea. (D)60.The best title of this passage is “________”． A．The Standard of Color Underwater B．The Direction of Light Underwater C．The Brightness of Color Underwater D．The Behavior of Light Underwater C 配对阅读。左栏是五个人的信息，右栏是七则广告，请为每一个人选出他们感兴趣的广告。 (C)61.Jenny likes history and she wants to know something about the clothes that ancient people wore and watch an ancient dance. (F)62.David is interested in animals，especially African animals. He wants to see some lions living in the wild with his friends this vacation. (B)63.John has read a lot about sharks but he hasn't seen them himself. He hopes his dream of seeing sharks can come true. (D)64.Tom is interested in science and he hopes very much to know what our life will be like in the future. (G)65.Jerry is studying geography at a college and she wants to visit some great wonders of the natural world. A.Stonehenge is a man­made wonder of the world.It's an ancient circle of stones in England.It was built about 5，000 years ago. B．You will find different kinds of fish and even some kinds of sharks in the Underwater World.You will feel that you are in the water，but of course this isn't true. If you are interested in fish, I suggest that you pay a visit here. C．In the Ancient Village，you will find people live a simple life just as the ancient people did.They wear ancient clothes and sell the old goods and food.You can even watch an ancient dance performed by some actors and actresses. D．The Future Tower shows how progress will touch our life in the future.It allows us to look into the future and explore the cities of the next century and the way we'll live then.Spend some time in our space station and climb into our simulator (模拟装置) for the journey to Mars！ E．There are no more famous ancient sites in Egypt than the Great Pyramid.There are over 100 pyramids in Egypt. They were built as the tombs of the kings and queens of ancient times. F．In the Safari Park you can drive among African animals in one of our Range Cruisers：see lions，giraffes and elephants in the wild.Move on to watch the monkeys. And then there are even the bird houses to see. G．The Grand Canyon (大峡谷) lies in the United States.It's the greatest wonder of the natural world and attracts a lot of tourists over the world. 五、短文填空(本大题共10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分) 请阅读下面短文，在所给的每个空格中填入一个形式正确、意义相符的单词。 The Great Wall of China has a history of over two thousand years.It runs from the east to the west in North China.It is about 6，300 kilometers 66.long.

The next night，the same whispering sound came again.Although I was scared，I decided to find the “alien”．I checked every corner of my bedroom carefully.Finally，I found it.However，it wasn't the alien that I expected，but an old broken radio in my bookcase.The radio suddenly began to work and the voices came from it.

When I was in Grade 5，astronauts were sent into space for the first time.Almost every night，I would look out of my bedroom's window and search the sky for UFOs.I never saw one，but I did see lots of stars.They were really beautiful and amazing，and maybe the aliens would agree with me. 76．What did Lucy hear near her bed one peaceful night?
