三、阅读理解
A
Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing.He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.
One day he was walking along the shore.As he looked down the beach,he saw a human figure moving like a dancer.He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach.So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer,he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing,but instead he was reaching down to the shore,picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
As he got closer,he called out,“Good morning!What are you doing ” The young man paused,looked up and replied,“Throwing starfish into the ocean.”
“I guess I should have asked,why are you throwing starfish into the ocean ”
“The sun is up and the tide is going out.And if I don’t throw them in,they’ll die.”
“But,young man,don’t you realise that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it.You can’t possibly make a difference!”
The young man listened politely.Then he bent down,picked another starfish,and threw it into the sea,past the breaking waves and said,“It made a difference for that one.”
There is something very special in each and every one of us.We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference.And if we can know that gift,we will gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future.
We must each find our starfish.And if we throw our starfish wisely and well,the world will be better.

B
Film director James Cameron first became interested in sea exploration when he was a little boy.His love for the ocean grew after he made the undersea adventure film The Abyss and the blockbuster Titanic,one of the most successful movies of all time.Following that big success,James Cameron decided to put his film career on hold to become an explorer.
In 2012,James Cameron made a journey to the deepest spot in the Mariana Trench,known as the Challenger Deep.And now the great journey has been made into a documentary film,named James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenge 3D.
In James Cameron’s fantasy films,such as Avatar and The Abyss,the unexplored areas are decorated in colours and full of danger.But on his dive into the Challenger Deep,the reality proved far different: white,deserted and dull.
“I felt like I had gone to another planet,”Cameron said after returning from the cold and dark place in the Western Pacific Ocean,nearly 7 miles below the surface.“I really have a sense of being separated and realise how tiny I am down in this big,black and unexplored place.”
Cameron captured(获取)the moon-like landscape of the deep sea and documented the sea creatures he observed in the ocean.
James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenge 3D tells the story of Cameron’s journey.It is a film about determination,danger and the ocean’s greatest depths.The movie shows a unique insight into Cameron’s world when he makes his dream reality and makes history by becoming the first person to travel alone to the deepest point on the planet.
It’s an exciting film and inspiring reminder that our beautiful planet still has a lot to explore.

C.White and attractive.
D.Small and dull.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“But on his dive into the Challenger Deep,the reality proved far different:white,deserted and dull.”可知,当他潜入海底时,真实的海洋和其他影片中的景象相去甚远:白色的,荒芜而沉闷。故选B项。
