①Have you ever wondered what life would be like under the sea As we all know, 71% of the earth is covered with sea water but there are a lot of things that we don’t know about the underwater world. That’s why more and more people are interested in finding out the secrets.
②By now, humans have only learned about 10% of the whole ocean (海洋). Under the sea, no one knows whether or not there is an “underwater city” waiting for us.
③What is an “underwater city” In fact, the so-called “underwater city” means a place built in the water where people can live. For modern humans, if the technology is strong enough in the future and the ocean resources (资源) can be built up well, then it is possible to build a real “underwater city”.
④Why do we need to build cities under the sea There are so many changes such as the worse and fast process of global warming (全球变暖), deforestation (森林砍伐), glacier fusion (冰川融化), sea level rise, and so on. All of the changes impact on the earth badly. Therefore, it can be imagined that most of the land will be under water in the future, and living in space will be more difficult than living under water according to a lot of scientific studies.
⑤How to build an “underwater city” There is such an “underwater city” project in Bulgaria. In the middle of this sea area, a small town is built up with a huge dam (堤坝). This “underwater city” can hold more than 5000 people, which is pretty large under the sea.
⑥If the “underwater city” can be successfully built in the future, it will not only offer humans a place to live, rich food resources and new industrial energy sources, but also help to improve the situation of population pressure and resource shortage (短缺) of the earth. Let’s just wait and see what will happen in the near future.

A．改善 B．影响 C．拯救 D．毁灭
32．The writer’s purpose (目的) of the passage is to ________.
A．describe an “underwater city” to people
B．show people how to build an “underwater city”
C．help people know more about the “underwater city”
D．ask people to protect the earth through the “underwater city”
33．If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best (①=Para.1, ②=Para.2, ③=Para.3, ④=Para.4, ⑤=Para.5, ⑥=Para.6)
A．①②; ③④⑤; ⑥ B．①②③; ④⑤; ⑥ C．①②; ③④; ⑤⑥ D．①; ②③④; ⑤⑥

①Have you ever wondered what life would be like under the sea As we all know, 71% of the earth is covered with sea water but there are a lot of things that we don’t know about the underwater world. That’s why more and more people are interested in finding out the secrets.
②By now, humans have only learned about 10% of the whole ocean (海洋). Under the sea, no one knows whether or not there is an “underwater city” waiting for us.
③What is an “underwater city” In fact, the so-called “underwater city” means a place built in the water where people can live. For modern humans, if the technology is strong enough in the future and the ocean resources (资源) can be built up well, then it is possible to build a real “underwater city”.
④Why do we need to build cities under the sea There are so many changes such as the worse and fast process of global warming (全球变暖), deforestation (森林砍伐), glacier fusion (冰川融化), sea level rise, and so on. All of the changes impact on the earth badly. Therefore, it can be imagined that most of the land will be under water in the future, and living in space will be more difficult than living under water according to a lot of scientific studies.
⑤How to build an “underwater city” There is such an “underwater city” project in Bulgaria. In the middle of this sea area, a small town is built up with a huge dam (堤坝). This “underwater city” can hold more than 5000 people, which is pretty large under the sea.
⑥If the “underwater city” can be successfully built in the future, it will not only offer humans a place to live, rich food resources and new industrial energy sources, but also help to improve the situation of population pressure and resource shortage (短缺) of the earth. Let’s just wait and see what will happen in the near future.
30．The writer shows his idea mainly by ________.
A．listing numbers B．giving examples C．showing differences D．asking questions
31．The underlined phrase “impact on” in Paragraph 4 means “________” in Chinese.
A．改善 B．影响 C．拯救 D．毁灭
32．The writer’s purpose (目的) of the passage is to ________.
A．describe an “underwater city” to people
B．show people how to build an “underwater city”
C．help people know more about the “underwater city”
D．ask people to protect the earth through the “underwater city”

A．①②; ③④⑤; ⑥ B．①②③; ④⑤; ⑥ C．①②; ③④; ⑤⑥ D．①; ②③④; ⑤⑥
