The Sea

What do you know about the sea? We know that it looks very pretty w h e n the sun is shining on it. W e also k n o w that it can be very rough w h e n there is a strong wind. W h a t other things do w e k n o w about it? The first thing to r emember is that the sea is very big. W h e n you look at the m a p of the world you will find there is more water than land. T h e sea covers tbree quarters of the world.

The sea is also very deep in so m e places. It is not deep everywhere. S o m e parts of the sea are very shallow. But in so m e places the depth of the sea is very great. There is one spot, near Japan, where the sea is nearly 11 kilometers deep! T h e highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high. If that mountain were put into the sea at that place, there would be 2 kilometers of water above it! W h a t a deep place!

If you have swum in the sea, you k n o w that it is salty. Y o u can taste the salt. Rivers, which flow into the sea, carry salt from the land into the sea. S o m e parts of the sea are saltier than other parts. There is one sea, called the Dead Sea, which is very salty. It is so salty that swimmers cannot sink! Fish cannot live in the D e a d Sea!

In most parts of the sea, there are plenty of fishes and plants. S o m e live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. There are millions of tiny living things that float in the sea. These floating things are so small that it is hard to see them. Many fish live by eating these.

The sea can be very cold. Divers, w h o go deep d o w n in the sea, k n o w this. On the top the water m a y be warm. W h e n the diver goes downwards, the sea becomes colder and colder. Another thing happens. W h e n the diver goes deeper, the water above presses d o w n on him. It squeezes him. Then the diver has to wear clothes m a d e of metal. But he cannot go very deep. S o m e people w h o wanted to go very deep used a very strong diving ship! They went d o w n to the deepest part of the sea in it. T h e y went d o w n to a depth of eleven kilometers!

16. T h e sea looks beautiful w h e n it is calm.

A. Right B. W r o n g C. Not mentioned

17. T he land takes up 2 5 % of the world.

A. Right B. W r o n g C. Not mentioned

18. T h e sea is 6 kilometers in depth on average.

A. Right B. W r o n g C. Not mentioned

19. T h e D e a d Sea is so salty that nothing can live in it.

A. Right B. W r o n g C. Not mentioned

20. T h e deeper one goes d o w n in the sea, the fewer fishes and plants he can find.

A. Right B. W r o n g C. Not mentioned

21. The deeper a diver goes d o w n in the sea, the greater water pressure he bears.

A. Right B. W r o n g C. Not mentioned

22. Divers have to use a very strong diving ship w h e n they want to go d o w n to the deepest part of the sea mainly because it is extremely cold here.

A. Right B. W r o n g C. Not mentioned

Carl Sagan

1 “N o one has ever succeeded in conveying the wonder and joy of science as widely and few as wells.” That praise was given on Carl Sagan w h e n he w a s honored with the Public Welfare Medal, the highest award given by the National Academy of Science. On 20 December 1996，Carl Sagan died at age 62 of pneumonia. In m y experience, he w a s m u c h m ore than a prominent popularizer. H e w a s a brilliant scientist with solid achievements.

2 I first met S a w n at a meeting of the A A A S , the American Association for the Advancement of Science, were he took part in a session on the Viking Mars Project. W h e n Viking landed on Mars in 1976，it was at a site he had helped select. Then I interviewed h i m in Washington, D.C.，after Mariner had sent back spectacular pictures of the Martian surface. Sagan had acted as a head of one of Mariner’s imaging teams. The interview, “Close-up Photos Reveal a Turbulent Mars,” appeared in Popular Sciences in September 1976.

3 I had originally headlined the story “The R e d Planet Isn’t Dead,” but Sagan asked m e to change it. “I’m in enough hot waters with so m e of m y colleagues as it is,” he said, referring to the anger felt by some scientists over his growing fame as a popularizer. That fame reached a zenith during his 1980 television series “Cosmos ，” with an audience of 400 million people in 60 countries. Along the way, he captured Pulitzer Prize for his book The Dragons of Eden.

4 He was noted for the vigor of his logic style, especially w h e n criticizing some piece of pseudoscience. I remembered a 1973 A A A S meeting at which he destroyed the theories of Immanual Velikovsky, who was maintaining that only a few thousands of years ago, Venus had repeatedly collided with Earth and Mars; events well noted, Velikovsky said, in the bible.

5 Sagan was often heard observing that drawings of flying saucers never included a door. “ H o w did those creatures of outer space get in and out?” he once asked. On c e he said that pseudoscience is embraced in exact proportion as real science is misunderstood.

A Satan as a Science Popularizer

第 4 部分：阅读理 解(第 3 1-4 5 题，每题3 分，共 45 分)

下面有3 篇短文，每篇短文后有5 道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1 个最佳选项。

第一篇 Immigration and Problems

Hundreds of thousands of people supporting immigration rights in the U S filled streets all over America in early 2006. M a n y held signs and American flags and asked to be treated as citizens—not criminals. M a n y of these supported legislation from Senator John M c C a i n that would open a path to citizenship to immigrants who were already in the country illegally. Proposed legislation from other politicians called for stricter measures—including rounding up undocumented immigrants and sending them back to their h o m e countries.

Canadian officials say that immigration applications continue to rise. S o m e want to keep the doors open. They need the labor. About 400,000 immigrants were allowed into the country in 2005, according to the Canadian Government statistics. However, all this growth means that cities need to adapt. New comers don ’t always make a smooth transition into jobs for which they are skilled. So industries are using mentoring ( 辅导)programs to help new immigrants find proper jobs.
