Ⅴ.阅读理解
A perfectly preserved wreck(沉船) that has lain unnoticed in the icy Baltic Sea for over 500 years has finally been confirmed.The European ship was first observed in 2009,when a sonar(声呐) exploration by the Swedish Maritime Administration(SMA) indicated a large object in the area.However,it was not until early 2019 that researchers from Soton and MMT found evidence of the sunken ship using underwater robotic cameras.
When the team observed the pictures of the 60-foot-long shipwreck,they were surprised to discover it was 99 percent complete.The scientists considered that the wreck’s good condition is due to its place in the Baltic Seabed,where the oxygen levels are low.Oxygen is key to most ocean life’s survival.Therefore,such an environment where the shipwreck stays reduces or completely removes the creatures that feed on rotting wood.
So although this ship is contemporary to the times of Christopher Columbus,it shows a remarkable level of preservation after 500 years at the bottom of the sea.Dr.Pacheco-Ruiz,who led the MMT effort,said,“It’s almost like it sank yesterday.It’s a truly astonishing sight.”
The scientists are unsure what let the ship sink.However,the ship’s guns,which are in their “ready to fire” positions,indicate it may have been the victim of a naval battle.Since the ship dates back to the early 16th century,historians predict it may have sunk during Sweden’s three year independence war with its Danish rulers between 1521 and 1523.Alternatively,it could also have been involved in the border dispute(争端) between Russia and Sweden from 1554 to 1557.
The ship is by far the best-preserved shipwreck ever found from the Age of Exploration,when Europeans explored the world by sea.
What’s more exciting is that the ship is similar to the Pinta and La Nina,which Columbus famously sailed toward North America.The scientists,who continue to observe the shipwreck hope the boat’s design will expose some of the technologies available to the Italian explorer during his 1492 voyage of discovery.
1.What scientific achievement did Soton’s and MMT’s researchers make
A.Discovering a wreck using sonar.
B.Getting the wreck out of icy water.
C.Identifying the object found by SMA.
D.Making the ancient wreck well preserved.
2.What can we learn about the place of the sunken ship
A.It is generally unfit for creatures to live in.
B.It is tough for scientists to do research.
C.It contains too many harmful gases.
D.It is filled with rotting wood.
3.What did Dr.Pacheco-Ruiz’s words reflect
A.His curiosity about the time when the ship sank.
B.His amazement at the ship’s previous grandness.
C.His surprise at the wreck’s well-preserved condition.
D.His shock at the sinking of the great European ship.
4.What’s paragraph 4 mainly about
A.The damage to the ship.
B.The causes of the ship’s sinking.
C.The construction of the ship.
D.The possible function of the ship.

Ⅴ.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。一艘保存完好的沉船在冰冷的波罗的海沉睡了500多年,如今它终于得到了证实。文章介绍了这艘沉船保存完好的原因和沉没的原因,以及研究者的更多发现。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However,it was not until early 2019 that researchers from Soton and MMT found evidence of the sunken ship using underwater robotic cameras.”可知,Soton和MMT的研究人员的成就是识别出了瑞典海事管理局发现的物体。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The scientists considered that the wreck’s good condition is due to its place in the Baltic Seabed,where the oxygen levels are low.Oxygen is key to most ocean life’s survival.”可知,科学家们认为,沉船状况良好是因为它位于波罗的海海底,那里的氧气含量很低。氧气是大多数海洋生物生存的关键。由此推测,沉船的地点氧气含量很低,不适合生物居住。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Dr.Pacheco-Ruiz,who led the MMT effort,said,‘It’s almost like it sank yesterday.It’s a truly astonishing sight.’”可知,帕切科—鲁伊斯博士的话反映了他对残骸保存完好的惊讶。
4.B 段落大意题。根据第四段中的“The scientists are unsure what let the ship sink.However,the ship’s guns,which are in their ‘ready to fire’ positions,indicate it may have been the victim of a naval battle.”可知,科学家们不确定是什么让这艘船沉没的。然而,舰炮处于“随时准备开火”的位置,表明它可能是海战的受害者。由此可知,第四段讲述的是船沉没的原因。
