21、 Sixty feet beneath the surface of the Caribbean Sea, aquanaut(观察员)Fabien Cousteau and industrial designer Yves Behar are imagining the world's largest underwater research station.
The pair have for the first time shown Proteus, a 4,000-square-foot modular(组合)lab that will sit under the water off the coast of Curacao, providing a home to scientist, and researchers from across the world studying the ocean.
Designed as a two-story round building grounded to the ocean floor, Proteus contains laboratories, personal quarters, medical bays and a moon pool where divers can access the ocean floor. Powered by wind and solar energy and ocean thermal energy, different from its forerunners, the building will have the first underwater greenhouse for growing food. The underwater site will allow scientists to perform continuous night and day diving without requiring hours of relieving pressure between dives. Like astronauts in space, they can stay underwater for days or weeks at a time.
Though oceans cover 71 percent of the world's surface, humans have only explored about 5 percent and mapped less than 20 percent of the world's seas. "Ocean exploration is 1,000 times more important than space exploration for, selfishly, our survival, for our life into the future," Cousteau said, "It's our life support system. It is the very reason why we exist in the first place."
Proteus is intended to be the underwater version of the International Space Station(ISS), where government agencies, scientists, and the private companies can cooperate, regardless of borders.
Space exploration receives more attention and funding than its ocean copy, which Cousteau hopes to change that with Proteus. While the project currently has some backing from private companies, it is currently seeking further funding. Beyond backers, the station's wet and dry labs can be rented to government agencies, corporations and academic institutions. Part of the plan is to make it easy to see regularly what is happening on Proteus, including live streams and VR/AR content. In this way Cousteau hopes to engage a wider audience.
【1】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The purpose of Proteus. B.The benefits of Proteus.
C.The functions of Proteus. D.The significance of Proteus.
【2】Why is ocean exploration vital according to Cousteau?
A.Oceans are under-explored. B.Ocean exploration is left unnoticed.
C.Oceans determine humans' life and future. D.Oceans cover most of the surface of the earth.
【3】What does Cousteau think of the project?
A.It needs improvement. B.It needs better policies.
C.It needs opportunities. D.It needs more attention.
【4】Where does the text probably come from?
A.A science report. B.A guidebook. C.A diary. D.A science fiction.
22、Every May, the capital of Canada,Ottawa will host the world’s largest tulip (郁金香) festival, flowers of amazing colors attracting more than 500,000 tourists to come and see. And in the back of this colorful festival is a moving story about friendship and peace.
During World War II, the Dutch royal family came to Canada to seek asylum. In early 1943, Princess Juliana of nine-month pregnancy was about to give birth, which posed a problem to both Canada and Netherlands.According to Canadian law, all babies born in Canada will automatically become Canadian citizens;and according to the Dutch royal succession law, prince or princess must be born on Netherlands soil in order to be recognized as a royal member. Because of this situation, the Canadian government passed a special bill.They placed the sovereignty (主权) of a maternity ward (妇产科病房) in Ottawa Civic Hospital under the Government of the Netherlands. In January19, 1943, Princess Juliana gave birth to her third daughter Margaret on“Dutch land“.
In May 1945, with the help of the Canadian Forces, Netherlands gained its victory and liberation, and the royal family returned to their homeland after several years of separation. That fall, the Dutch government presented one hundred thousand tulip bulbs to Canada to express their respect and gratitude. The following year, Princess Juliana presented twenty thousand tulip bulbs again in her own name, and requested them to be planted on the land of Ottawa Civic Hospital. And since then, Ottawa, the Canadian capital, have received thousands of tulip bulbs from the Netherlands royal family every year. To acknowledge this kindness, the first Ottawa Tulip Festival was held in 1953. And in 2002, Princess Margaret, who was born in the“Dutch delivery room”, returned to Ottawa to attend the 50th Tulip Festival.
This year’s Canadian Tulip Festival will last for 12 days (May 12 to 23). There will be over one million tulips of different colors and species blooming to their most beautiful hues (色调色彩). The Commissioner’s Park along the Dawes Lake and the Rideau Canal is traditionally the best viewing place. This year, the newly added Aberdeen Tulip Pavilion provides people with the opportunity to view the tulips indoors,so that people can enjoy this beautiful annual festival, rain or shine.

23、Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid.
Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.
Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.
Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet（子弹） — and stopped him cold.”
Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.
So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.
【1】Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?
A．He faced huge risks.
B．He lacked mighty forces.
C．Fear prevented him from trying.
D．Failure blocked his way to success.
【2】What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?
A．Swallow more than you can digest.
B．Act slightly above your abilities.
C．Develop more mysterious powers.
D．Learn to make creative decisions.
【3】What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?
A．His physical strength.
B．His basic skill.
C．His real fear.
D．His spiritual force.
【4】What can be learned from Paragraph 5?
A．Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.
B．Trying without success is meaningless.
C．Repeated failure creates a better life.
D．Boldness can be gained little by little.
【5】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A．To encourage people to be courageous.
B．To advise people to build up physical power.
C．To tell people the ways to guarantee success.
D．To recommend people to develop more abilities.
