Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth's surface, there's still a lot we don't know about them. Only about 20 percent of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91percent of sea animas have yet to be discovered. 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 ( 驾驶的潜水艇).for example, was built in l620 and it coudn't go more than five meters below the surface. In fact, for a long time many scientists didn't even thiuthat there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meter and didn't see much need to explore the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below the sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, around 4700 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 isoration 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 sea, They help control the earth's temperature and produce half of' the oxygen (0z) 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. 20. Why are some numbers listed in Paragraph 1? A.

If you get angry many times in a day, it is time for you to think about how to deal with it. Here are some of my suggestions. When you are angry, try to tell yourself through another voice that you are angry and that it is not a bad thing. It just shows that you have different ideas. Accept that many things are not 100% right or wrong. In our communication with others, the final purpose is not to decide who is right and who is wrong, but to look for something in common. If you still feel strong anger, try taking a deep breath and let anger out of your body along with the breath. Don't say angry words when you are very angry, for you will regret saying them when you cool down. Discussing with a third party is helpful. lt is hard for the two parties in anger to understand each other, but thidea ofan outsider can help both parties to get mutual (相互的)understanding. Anger is just one of the many emotions (情绪) that make us human, and to well manage it adds to our ability to truly understand the world. 13.

This includes a cooking robot called Project YORl. YORl is only the latest of Hong's robot inventions, There's DAVID. the world's first and only car that can be driven by the blind. And SAFFiR, a two-legged robot that can do dangerous work that humans unable to do. Hong is finding plenty of work for his robots. When he was asked about his biggest success, Hong chose the robot called DARwIn-OP. He thought it waone of the most widely used human-like robots for research and education. Hong's team made DARwln's desigfree for anyone to use. They have seen many projects using the design. And they consider it a gift to the robotics community. “Many people only want to see our successes and not the failures that came before those, but failure is simply a stepping stone in developing new technology. If you're too afraid of failure, then you only get to walk on the safer side, and then there's no innovation (创新)," said Hong. “I tell my students to try breaking the robot. lf the robot doesn't fall and doesn't break, we don't get to learn anything. 17.Which robot is the most recent invention by Dennis Hong's team? A. YORI. B. DAVL. C. SAFFiR. D. DARwIn-OP. 18. What is special about DARwIn according to the text? A. Its technology is the latest. B. It is a popular robot for the blind. B. lt is the first human-like robot. D. Its design is free for anyone to use. 19. What does Dennis Hong encourage his students to do? A. Walk on the safer side. B. Do more for education C. Keep trying and learning D. Avoid making mistake 6. Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth's surface, there's still a lot we don't know about them. Only about 20 percent of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91percent of sea animas have yet to be discovered. 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 ( 驾驶的潜水艇).for example, was built in l620 and it coudn't go more than five meters below the surface. In fact, for a long time many scientists didn't even thiuthat there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meter and didn't see much need to explore the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below the sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, around 4700 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 isoration 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 sea, They help control the earth's temperature and produce half of' the oxygen (0z) 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. 20. 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 ofoceans 21. What caused the change of exploration into the deep sea? A. High technology. B. Unknown species. C. A pleasant environment. D. Valuable information. 22. What does the underlined word “They" in the last paragraph refer to? A. Sea animals. B. The seas. C. The satellites. D. Many scientists. 23. 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 of550 meters D. It is easier to go into the deep sea than we think han five meters below the surface. 24.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 7. It was reported in May 2024 that the China wildlife Conservatin Association (CWCA,中国野生动物保护协会) will send giant pandas Yun Chuan and XinBao to the San Diego Zoo in the United States, which is a symbol of a new 10-year period of International Consevation partnership CLleDCes with a largaretakers and doctors to go with the pandas to the liS.The zoo ist it has also formed aand more comfortable living environmenn with snecial skills related with nanda caredaily nursing, and scientific research.
