Unit 3 Sea Exploration 单元测试卷 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A In the past few decades, sea exploration has made remarkable progress. Scientists have been using advanced technologies to uncover the mysteries of the deep sea. One of the most significant achievements is the discovery of hydrothermal vents. Hydrothermal vents are cracks in the ocean floor where hot, mineral - rich water gushes out. These vents create unique ecosystems. Around them, there are strange - looking creatures that have adapted to the extreme conditions. For example, there are giant tube worms that can grow up to several meters long. They have no mouth or digestive system but rely on symbiotic bacteria to obtain energy from the chemicals in the vent water. Another important aspect of sea exploration is the mapping of the ocean floor. With the help of sonar technology, scientists can now create detailed maps of the underwater terrain. This not only helps us understand the physical features of the ocean but also has practical applications. For instance, it can assist in the exploration of oil and gas resources, as well as in the planning of underwater construction projects. 1. What are hydrothermal vents? A. They are creatures in the deep sea. B. They are cracks on the ocean floor with hot, mineral - rich water. C. They are a type of bacteria in the sea. D. They are new technologies for sea exploration. 2. What is special about giant tube worms? A. They have a complex digestive system. B. They can live in normal sea conditions. C. They rely on symbiotic bacteria for energy. D. They are the largest creatures in the deep sea. 3. How does sonar technology help in sea exploration? A. It helps in finding new sea creatures. B. It can create detailed maps of the underwater terrain. C. It is used to study hydrothermal vents. D. It helps in building underwater construction projects. B The history of sea exploration dates back thousands of years. Ancient civilizations like the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans were among the early seafarers. The Phoenicians, known for their excellent ship - building skills, sailed across the Mediterranean Sea for trade and exploration. They established colonies along the coasts, spreading their culture and knowledge. During the Age of Discovery in the 15th - 17th centuries, European countries such as Portugal, Spain, and England played a major role in sea exploration. Vasco da Gama, a Portuguese explorer, was the first to sail around Africa and reach India, opening up new trade routes. Christopher Columbus, sponsored by Spain, set out to find a new route to Asia but instead discovered the Americas. These voyages not only expanded the knowledge of the world's geography but also led to cultural exchanges and the spread of diseases between different continents. In modern times, sea exploration has become more scientific and systematic. International cooperation has also increased. For example, the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) involves scientists from many countries working together to study the history and evolution of the ocean. 4. Which ancient civilizations were early seafarers? A. The Chinese, Indians, and Egyptians. B. The Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans. C. The Americans, Australians, and Africans. D. The Arabs, Persians, and Turks. 5. What was Vasco da Gama's achievement? A. He discovered the Americas. B. He was the first to sail around Africa and reach India. C. He sponsored Christopher Columbus' voyage. D. He established the International Ocean Discovery Program. 6. What is the International Ocean Discovery Program? A. A program for European countries to explore the sea. B. A program for finding new trade routes. C. A program involving international cooperation to study the ocean. D. A program for studying the history of ancient seafarers. C The ocean is home to a vast array of marine life, but it is also facing many threats. One of the biggest threats is overfishing. Many fish species are being caught at a rate faster than they can reproduce, which can lead to the collapse of fish populations. This not only affects the marine ecosystem but also has an impact on the livelihoods of people who depend on fishing. Pollution is another major problem. Plastic waste, oil spills, and chemical pollutants are contaminating the ocean. Plastic waste, in particular, is a huge concern. Millions of tons of plastic end up in the ocean every year, harming marine animals. They can get entangled in plastic debris or mistake it for food and ingest it, which can cause injury or death. Climate change is also having a significant impact on the ocean. Rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification, and sea - level rise are all affecting marine life. Coral reefs, for example, are very sensitive to changes in temperature. When the water gets too warm, coral bleaching occurs, which can kill the coral and destroy the reef ecosystem. 7. What is one of the biggest threats to the ocean? A. Underfishing. B. Overfishing. C. Lack of scientific research. D. Too many marine animals. 8. Why is plastic waste a huge concern in the ocean? A. It can make the ocean water warmer. B. It can cause ocean acidification. C. It harms marine animals by entanglement or ingestion. D. It can lead to the collapse of fish populations. 9. What happens when coral bleaching occurs? A. The coral becomes more colorful. B. The coral grows faster. C. The coral dies and the reef ecosystem is destroyed. D. The coral becomes more resistant to temperature changes. D Sea exploration is not only about discovering new species and resources but also about understanding the ocean's role in the global ecosystem. The ocean plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate. It absorbs a large amount of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, which helps to mitigate the effects of climate change. The ocean is also a source of food, energy, and minerals. Many countries rely on the ocean for fishing, and there are ongoing efforts to develop sustainable fishing practices. In terms of energy, offshore wind farms are being built in many parts of the world to harness the power of the wind. The ocean also contains valuable minerals such as manganese, nickel, and cobalt, which are important for the production of batteries and other high - tech products. However, the exploitation of these resources needs to be balanced with conservation. We need to ensure that our activities do not cause irreparable damage to the ocean ecosystem. This requires international cooperation, strict regulations, and the use of sustainable technologies. 10. What role does the ocean play in the global ecosystem? A. It only provides food for humans. B. It helps regulate the Earth's climate. C. It has no impact on the climate. D. It mainly serves as a place for waste disposal. 11. What are some of the resources the ocean provides? A. Only fish. B. Fish, energy, and minerals. C. Only energy. D. Only minerals. 12. What is needed to balance resource exploitation and conservation in the ocean? A. Only international cooperation. B. International cooperation, strict regulations, and sustainable technologies. C. Only strict regulations. D. Only the use of sustainable technologies. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Sea exploration has come a long way, but there is still much to discover. 13 Here are some reasons why continued sea exploration is important. • Discovering New Species: The deep sea is one of the least explored areas on Earth. 14 Every year, new species of marine animals and plants are being discovered. These discoveries not only expand our knowledge of biodiversity but also have potential applications in medicine, biotechnology, and other fields. • Understanding the Ocean's Ecosystem: The ocean ecosystem is complex and interconnected. 15 By studying the relationships between different species and the physical and chemical processes in the ocean, we can better understand how the ecosystem functions. This knowledge is crucial for predicting the impacts of human activities and climate change on the ocean. • Finding New Resources: As the demand for resources increases, the ocean becomes an important source. 16 However, we need to explore these resources in a sustainable way to avoid over - exploitation. • Inspiration and Education: Sea exploration captures the public's imagination. 17 It can inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and explorers. It also helps to raise public awareness about the importance of the ocean and the need for its conservation. A. It can provide new sources of food, energy, and minerals. B. There could be millions of unknown species living in its depths. C. It can lead to conflicts between different countries over resources. D. It serves as a source of inspiration for people of all ages. E. We still know very little about how it works. F. It can cause damage to the ocean floor. G. It can also provide valuable information for climate research. 【答案】1 - 3 BCB 4 - 6 BCC 7 - 9 BCC 10 - 12 BBB 13 - 17 BEGAD 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节　(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My pulse(脉搏) quickened as my feet took me closer to the door.My heart beat 41 .What are you doing?

Jeff was twenty-seven and a successful business planner at a company—without a degree.His passion was skiing.When he graduated from high school，he decided to decline his father’s offer and，instead，to work with a ski patrol(滑雪巡逻队)．With pain in his eyes，Jeff told me he still remembered the day when he told his father he was going to give up college and take a job at a ski resort. Hearing Jeff’s decision，his father looked off into the distance.Then came the words that still echoed in Jeff’s mind: “You lazy kid.No son of mine is going to work with a ski patrol and does not attend college.I should have known you’d never amount to anything！” The two had not spoken since that conversation. Later，he was back in the area near where he grew up and he certainly did not want his father to know he was attending college.He was doing this for himself，not for his father.He said it over and over again.Jeff’s sister had always remained supportive of Jeff’s decisions.She stayed in contact with their father，but Jeff had made her promise that she would not share any information about his life with their father. The day when the graduation ceremony came，I walked around talking to people before it started.I noticed a man with a confused expression. “Excuse me，” he said as he politely approached me.“What is happening here today？” “It’s graduation day，” I replied，smiling.“Well，that’s odd，” he said.“My daughter asked me to meet her at this address.” His eyes sparkled and he smiled，“Maybe she completed her associate’s degree and wanted to surprise me！” I helped him find a seat. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 As I left him，he said，“Thank you.By the way，my name’s Dr.Holstrom.” Jeff was the last person to cross the stage. 参考范文 As I left him，he said，“Thank you.By the way，my name’s Dr.Holstrom.” The name ringing in my mind，I froze on the spot.Jeff Holstrom! Could this be the cold，stern father who demanded his son attend college or never enter his home again? Curiosity and doubt bubbling up，I turned around to get a glimpse of Dr.Holstrom，attempting to find some facial resemblances.Beaming and scanning，Dr.Holstrom seemed to be looking for his daughter.Speeches given，the dean began to read the names of the graduates，inviting them onto the stage one by one to receive their diplomas. Jeff was the last person to cross the stage.Having received his diploma，he turned toward the audience，radiant with joy.Suddenly，a lone figure popped into his eyes—Dr.Holstrom.I was not sure how Jeff spotted him in the crowd，but I could tell their eyes met.Dr.Holstrom，gazing at Jeff thoughtfully for a few seconds，opened his arms as if to embrace the air around him.For a moment time seemed to stand still.Jeff came down，smiling with tears in eyes.“My father is here，” he whispered to me.“I think I’m going home.” 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 3 Sea Exploration 单元测试卷 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A In the past few decades, sea exploration has made remarkable progress.

Jeff was twenty-seven and a successful business planner at a company—without a degree.His passion was skiing.When he graduated from high school，he decided to decline his father’s offer and，instead，to work with a ski patrol(滑雪巡逻队)．With pain in his eyes，Jeff told me he still remembered the day when he told his father he was going to give up college and take a job at a ski resort. Hearing Jeff’s decision，his father looked off into the distance.Then came the words that still echoed in Jeff’s mind: “You lazy kid.No son of mine is going to work with a ski patrol and does not attend college.I should have known you’d never amount to anything！” The two had not spoken since that conversation. Later，he was back in the area near where he grew up and he certainly did not want his father to know he was attending college.He was doing this for himself，not for his father.He said it over and over again.Jeff’s sister had always remained supportive of Jeff’s decisions.She stayed in contact with their father，but Jeff had made her promise that she would not share any information about his life with their father. The day when the graduation ceremony came，I walked around talking to people before it started.I noticed a man with a confused expression. “Excuse me，” he said as he politely approached me.“What is happening here today？” “It’s graduation day，” I replied，smiling.“Well，that’s odd，” he said.“My daughter asked me to meet her at this address.” His eyes sparkled and he smiled，“Maybe she completed her associate’s degree and wanted to surprise me！” I helped him find a seat. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 As I left him，he said，“Thank you.By the way，my name’s Dr.Holstrom.” Jeff was the last person to cross the stage. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
