So why do we know.so little about the deep sea?Well,getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology that simply didn't come into being for most of human history.The first navigable submarine(可驾驶的潜水艇),for example,was built in 1620,and it couldn't go more than five meters below the surface.In fact,for a long time many scientists didn't even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn't see much need to explore( 探 索 )the deep sea.However,this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a digging machine.Ten years later,around 4,700 species(物种)unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered. Since then,high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea,including satellites.But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult?Well,at greater depths it is freezing (极冷的),everything is completely dark,and the pressure can be over 1,000 times greater than that on the surface. Though we have the difficulties,it's important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth's temperature and produce half of the oxygen (O₂)in the air.They can also provide us with information about climate change.Our future depends on learning more about our oceans,and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface. ( )11.Why are some numbers listed in Paragraph 1? A.To introduce how important oceans are. B.To discuss why sea animals have yet to be found out. C.To explain that oceans cover a large area of the earth. D.To show that we have only a little understanding of oceans. ( )12.What caused the change of exploration into the deep sea? 初三英语第2页共8页 A.High technology. C.A pleasant environment. B.Unknown species. D.Valuable information. ( )13.What does the underlined word “They”in the last paragraph refer to? A.Sea animals. B.The seas. C.The satellites. D.Many scientists. ( )14.What can we learn from the text? A It is difficult to build a navigable submarine. B.The seas have a strong influence on our future. C.The seas have no lives at a depth of 550 meters. D.It is easier to go into the deep sea than we think. )15.What could be the best title of the text? A.Hidden Treasures in Deep Sea B.Unlocked Secrets of Deep Sea C.Deep-Sea Exploration:Into the Freezing Depths D.Deep-Sea Exploration:The Past and the Future B In many cases,you may find yourself or somebody faking(假装)a smile in photos.Why can one easily discover a fake smile and why does it seem so difficult to give a real smile in photos? Scientists have found that a real smile is featured by two main muscle(肌肉)movements When we smile,they lift our mouth upwards and cause the skin around'our eyes to gather into folds.These muscle movements are usually absent in the case of a forced smile,especially when the smile is small.Our brains are highly skilled at distinguishing the differences in muscle movements.That's why though trying to fake a real smile can be hard,discovering it on someone else is a piece of cake.One of the most common reasons why you look unnatural in photos is an increased awareness(意识)of your appearance.The worry about posture,hair,and makeup can add to the stress,killing the chances of a real smile.A smile looks best when it comes naturally. Warm and welcoming smiles come along with warm and welcoming body language,but when you're in front of the camera,trying too hard to perform can make your body language appear stiff(僵硬的)and far from welcoming. Besides,facial expressions are not always understood in the same way.A smile can mean differently in different cultures.For example,a wide smile that seems welcoming to some may appear fake and dishonest.This may also influence how people feel about your smile in photos. However,we shouldn't let this trouble us too much.So,if you want to smile naturally before the 初三英语第3页共8页 camera,perhaps the simplest trick is to give your brain a real reason to feel happy.Maybe recall a joyful moment or just think back to a funny story you read...that should work! )16.What is a real smile connected with? A.Personal characters B.Educational backgrounds. C.Muscle movements. D.Professional achievements. ()17.What does the underlined word "distinguishing"mean in paragraph 2? A.Clearing. B.Telling. C.Spreading. D.Forgetting. )18.What is a reason for people's unnatural smiles? A.They fail to hide their feelings. B.They are tired of taking photos. C.They care too much about their looks. D.They are weak in performing tricks. ()19.What may help you give a real smile according to the writer? A.Recalling a strange story. B.Practicing smiles in the mirror. C.Improving your expression abilities. D.Thinking of a humorous moment. ( )20.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.How can we turn the fake into the real? B.How can we fake a real smile? C.Why is it hard to smile naturally in photos? D.What is needed to take good photos? C Once upon a time there was a piece of wood.It was not an expensive piece of wood.Just a common block of firewood,one of those thick logs(圆木)that are put on the fire in winter to make cold rooms warm. One fine day this piece of wood found itself in the shop of an old carpenter(木匠). Everyone called him Mastro Cherry,for the tip of his nose was so round and red and shiny that it looked like a ripe cherry. As soon as he saw that piece of wood,Mastro Cherry was filled with joy.Rubbing(摩擦) his hands together happily,he said to himself,“This has come in time.I shall use it to make the leg of a table.”But as he was about to give it the first blow,he stood still with arm uplifted,for he had heard a little voice say,“Please be careful!Do not hit me so hard!” What a surprise He turned frightened eyes about the room to find out where that voice had come from and he sawno one!He looked under the bench—no one!He searched the room—no one!He opened 初 三 英 语 第 4 页 共 8 页 the door to lookup and down the street—and still no one! “Oh,I see!”he then said,laughing and shaking his head.“There may be something wrong with my ears.Well,well—to work once more.” He struck another blow hard on the piece of wood “Oh,oh!You hurt me!”cried the same far-away little voice. Mastro Cherry's mouth opened wide. “Where did that voice come from when there is no one around?This piece of wood has learned to cry like a child?I can hardly believe it.Here it is—a piece of common firewood,the same as any other.Yet—might someone be hidden in it?If so,the worse for him.I'll fix him!” With these words,he threw it to the floor, against the walls of the room,and even up to the ceiling.
