The sea turtle is one of the ocean's most ancient travelers, having existed for over 100 million years. Living in warm oceans around the world, these remarkable reptiles have developed amazing abilities for long-distance travel. Their most famous feature is their hard shell, but there is much more to these gentle ocean navigators.
These incredible swimmers have an extraordinary sense of direction. Female sea turtles return to the exact beach where they were born to lay their eggs, traveling thousands of kilometers across open ocean. A leatherback sea turtle can dive deeper than 1,000 meters and hold its breath for nearly 90 minutes. Their streamlined bodies and powerful front flippers are specially designed for efficient swimming.
Sea turtles do not have teeth. Instead, they use their sharp beak-like mouths to eat jellyfish, seaweed, and crabs. Their tear glands help remove extra salt from the ocean water they swallow. Every part of their body is designed for ocean life: a shell that fuses with their spine, flippers that work like paddles, and lungs that allow them to stay underwater for hours.
Unlike many other reptiles, sea turtles cannot pull their heads and legs fully into their shells. This adaptation allows them to swim faster but leaves them more vulnerable to predators. With these amazing survival skills combined, the sea turtle truly deserves its reputation as a master of the open ocean.
33. Where do female sea turtles lay their eggs?
A. In the open ocean.
B. On the beach where they were born.
C. Near coral reefs.
D. Under deep rocks.
34. What does the word “streamlined” most probably mean in the passage?
A. Heavy and slow.
B. Shaped for fast movement.
C. Covered with hard shell.
D. Having many colors.
35. How do sea turtles remove extra salt from their bodies?
A. Through their skin.
B. Through their tear glands.
C. Through their mouths.
D. Through their flippers.
36. Why cannot sea turtles pull their heads and legs fully into their shells?
A. Because they don't need to.
B. Because they have a different shell shape.
C. Because it helps them swim faster.
D. Because they are too big.
37. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How sea turtles find their way across the ocean.
B. The survival adaptations of sea turtles.
C. The difference between sea turtles and land turtles.
D. Why sea turtles have existed for millions of years.
B. Choose the best answers to complete the passage. (选择最恰当的选项完成短文。)(每题2分,共14分)

It was a quiet Sunday evening, and my fingers felt heavy on the computer keyboard. I stared at the blank screen, watching the blinking cursor mock my empty mind. For our school's creative writing contest, I had planned the story for days, but the words would not come. All I could think about were the wonderful stories my classmates had already finished. My older brother Sam just leaned against the doorframe and said, “Start with one sentence, Leo. Every writer begins with a first draft.”
I wanted to close the laptop and pretend I had never signed up. Then, I remembered why I had entered the contest. I wanted to prove to myself that I could finish what I started. I took a deep breath and typed the first thing that came to my mind.
Write one sentence, then another. I told myself. I did it. This time, my ideas flowed more easily, just simple descriptions that I had learned from reading my favorite novels. My shoulders relaxed. I continued writing. Sentence by sentence, the story began to take shape. The words were not perfect, not even close to award-winning level. But it was a real start, the first real progress I had made without fear. The anxiety slowly disappeared, replaced by a quiet, growing sense of excitement. I couldn't wait to see how the story would develop.
