1. Long before Marco Polo’s tales inspired European explorers, merchants and
explorers had set sail from east to west. The Silk Road across the sea was even extended
to the Indian Ocean apart from the overland route. There, merchants met to negotiate
trade deals. In the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He set sail to the east coast of Africa. African
royal families sent gifts in return for silk and spices. Although China withdrew from
further expeditions later, these sea routes remained active channels. The historic Silk
Road now helps to strengthen the political, economic and cultural bonds between China
and other countries. With the latest technology in hand, China is reaching out across
the sea far into the future.
2. Some people argue that exploring the sea is not exploiting it. However, some
countries are still "murdering" intelligent marine creatures like whales without mercy
according to media coverage. The sea is home to life, not human beings’ possessions.
All of us in any profession should protect it. Meanwhile, some opponents applaud sea
exploration, believing that to understand it is to better protect it.

It goes without saying that oceans play a critical role in the world. Extending about
three quarters of the planet, oceans are crucial for the global climate. In addition,
marine life also provides abundant resources and food for us.

Meanwhile, we’re supposed to call on people around us to take action, too. I believe we will have cleaner oceans.

一、阅读理解
A
  [2024天星原创]One of the ocean’s noisiest creatures is smaller than you’d expect —
snapping shrimp(鼓虾). They create a widespread background noise in the underwater
environment, which helps them communicate, defend territories and hunt for food.
When enough shrimp snap(发出噼啪声) at once, the noise can dominate the soundscape
of coastal waters.



  Aran Mooney, a biologist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, suggested
that with increased ocean temperatures, snapping shrimp will snap more often and louder
than before. This could raise the background noise of the global ocean. "They make a
sound by closing a claw so fast. This makes a bubble(泡泡) and when that bubble
explodes, it makes that snapping sound," said Mooney.



  Mooney detected a strong relationship between warmer waters and deafening, more
frequent snapping shrimp sounds by experimenting with the shrimp in tanks in the lab and
by listening to the shrimp in the ocean at various water temperatures. "As the temperature
rises, the snap rate increases," he said. This makes sense because shrimp are essentially cold-blooded animals, meaning their body temperature and activity levels are largely controlled by their living environment. "We can actually show in the field that not only do snap rates increase, but the sound levels increase as well," he said.



  How the louder snapping shrimp would bother or benefit the surroundings remained
to be seen. "We know that fish use sound to communicate," Mooney said. "If the
environment gets noisy, it has the potential to influence that communication. That’s
something we have to follow up on." There is also the possibility that the change of
snapping shrimp disturbs instruments humans use to detect mines, which could have
implications for national defense.
  本文是说明文。鼓虾是一种体型很小却能发出很大声音的海洋生物,随着气候变暖及海水升温,鼓虾发出的声音也日益增大,这可能会影响其他海洋生物和人类。



( A )1. What can we know about the snapping shrimp’s sound?
A. It has multiple uses.
B. It is vital to the ecosystem.
C. It is hard to be detected.
D. It aims to protect the shrimp.
[解析] 细节理解题。由第一段中的"They create a widespread background noise...which helps them communicate, defend territories and hunt for food"可知,鼓虾发出的声音有助于它们交流、保卫领土和寻找食物,即其声音有多种作用,故本题选A。
A



( D )2. How does Mooney reach the conclusion?
A. By observing snapping shrimp in the field.
B. By recording snap rates in the lab.
C. By analyzing the way shrimp make noise.
D. By comparing shrimp’s sound in different places.
[解析] 推理判断题。由第三段的"Mooney detected a strong relationship between
warmer waters...tanks in the lab and by listening to the shrimp in the ocean at various
water temperatures"可知,Mooney通过实验室的水箱用鼓虾做实验,并听海洋中各
种水温里的鼓虾发出的声音,发现了温暖的水域与震耳欲聋、更频繁的鼓虾声之间
的密切关系,即他通过对比不同地点鼓虾发出的声音得出了结论,所以本题选D。
D



( B )3. What might Mooney research next?
A. Applications of shrimp’s sound.
B. Impacts of the noise on other creatures.
C. Means of communication among fish.
D. Methods of preventing shrimp’s snapping.
[解析] 推理判断题。最后一段提到吵闹的鼓虾会如何干扰或有益于周围环境还有
待观察。如果环境变得嘈杂,它有可能影响鱼类之间的交流,Mooney认为这是他们
必须跟进的研究。还有一种可能性是,鼓虾发出的声音变大会干扰人类用来探测水
雷的仪器。由此可推断,Mooney接下来可能会研究鼓虾发出的声音对其他生物的影
响,故本题选B。
B



( C )4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Underwater World Is No Longer Quiet
B. Small Animals Make a Big Difference
C. Warming Oceans Are Getting Louder
D. Snapping Shrimp’s Noise Speaks Much
[解析] 标题归纳题。通读全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了随着气候变暖及海水温
度升高,鼓虾发出的声音也日益增大,发出声音的频率也增加,这可能会影响其他
海洋生物和人类。C项"变暖的海洋变得更吵闹"形象贴切地总结了文章内容,做
本文的标题最佳。

  [2023河南名校联考]Scientists have discovered what they believe is the world’s
largest plant, an underwater field of sea grass that stretches for 112 miles off the west
coast of Australia. This huge meadow(草地) has spread widely all through Shark Bay. The
sea grass plant is believed to be around 4, 500 years old.
  Many plants create new plants by growing flowers and spreading seeds. The DNA of
the plants that grow from these seeds is slightly different from the DNA of the plants that
the seeds came from. By comparing the DNA from their samples, the scientists hoped to
get an idea of how many different sea grass plants there were in the meadow.



  What they learned shocked them — all of the grass samples had almost exactly the same DNA. That meant that they were all just one plant, one big sea grass plant spreading out over 77 square miles. This makes it the largest known plant in the world by far.
  So how has the Shark Bay sea grass grown so large? Instead of spreading with
flowers and seeds, it spreads by cloning(克隆) itself. As its roots spread out under the sea floor, new plants shoot up from those roots.



  The sea grass in Shark Bay is also unusual in another way. It’s a "polyploid".
Usually, an organism(有机体) has two parents, and gets half of its DNA from each.
But polyploid organisms have all of the DNA from both parents, meaning they have
twice as much DNA. The scientists think the extra DNA may make it easier for the sea
grass to survive in difficult conditions.

二、完形填空
  For more than a century, fishermen in Laguna, Brazil, have caught fish with the
help of bottlenose dolphins.
  The dolphins push schools of fish in the  1  of the shore and then jump out of the
water,  2  to the fishermen to rapidly cast out their nets. The fishermen make a large
catch, and  3  , the dolphins look around for the fish that have missed the fishing
nets — a quick and easy meal!
  This dolphin-human  4  is especially unique, because it is  5  to both humans
and dolphins.



  According to a study  6  with underwater sound recordings, dolphins occupied
with this relationship with humans are 13% more likely to  7  in the wild. This is
because they stay near the shores of the ocean and are less likely to be  8  when fishing
nets are thrown into the open ocean. In Laguna, fishing with fellow dolphins has become
a(n)  9  in many families, though the dolphins are not  10  trained for this
purpose. From their  11 , fishermen pass on their knowledge to their children,
teaching them to  12  with their partners through clicking noises and how to distinguish
dolphin behaviors.



  Interestingly, this is not the first time humans and other species of animals
have  13  to hunt for food together. In Africa, the honeyguides, a small bird species
that  14  on beeswax, use large noises and calls to communicate, leading humans to
trees where bees’ nests are  15 .
  Researchers hope that future generations will be able to carry on this special tradition.

Although she struggled  2 (balance)her studies and family, Earle earned her PhD from Duke University, becoming well-known in the marine science community. Early in her career and while she was four  3 (month) pregnant, Earle traveled 30.5m below the surface in a submersible. Her experience of
 4 (live) in an underwater marine habitat earned her celebrity status in the scientific community.



  With the experience, Earle developed an interest  5  deep-sea exploration, and
in 1979 she broke  6  record for deep-sea diving at 381m below the surface in a special
suit called the JIM Suit designed to withstand(承受) the  7 (press). Earle decided to
test the suit as part of her research on a book  8 (publish) by the National Geographic
Society, and the diving techniques only scratched the surface of the ocean. Following
this adventure, Earle started two companies  9  produced deep-sea exploration
vehicles. The continued advancement in the technology of these vehicles has helped open
