Oceans cover two-thirds of our Earth. There are five main oceans which all flow into each other: the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Southern Ocean.
What are the Layers of the Ocean
Oceans are made of five layers or depths. Each layer has different characteristics (特点), such as the temperature and the amount of light. They have unique creatures (独特的生物) living within them.
The Sunlight Zone-up to 200m below the surface of the ocean
There is plenty of sunlight and heat in this zone although both decrease (减少) as you go deeper. There are many different living things within this layer, including seaweed, dolphins, fish, and coral reefs. Humans enjoy this warm layer for activities such as swimming and fishing.
The Twilight Zone-up to 1,000m below the surface of the ocean
Only weak sunlight reaches this deeper layer. No plants grow within this layer. It is home to sea animals which often have large eyes, including the sea cucumber, the wolf eel, the swordfish and the octopus. Humans can dive to this layer wearing protective suits.
The Midnight Zone-up to 4,000m below the surface of the ocean
The Midnight Zone is pitch-black because sunlight cannot reach this layer. Some light can be seen from creatures that make their own light, such as anglerfish, jelly fish and viperfish.
Abyss-up to 6,000m below the surface of the ocean
The sunlight cannot reach this layer at all, so it is pitch-black and near freezing. Very few creatures live here, but those that do are mainly transparent (透明的), blind invertebrates (无脊椎动物), such as lanternfish, squid and amphipod.
The Trenches-up to 11,000m below the surface of the ocean
The Trenches are narrow, underwater valleys of the ocean floor which have high pressure and near-freezing temperature. There is no natural light in this zone, but different creatures can be found, such as sea stars.
39．Which of the following pictures about ocean layers is correct
A． B．
C． D．
40．________ is a must-have if someone wants to explore the Twilight Zone.
A．Sunscrean (防晒霜) B．A fishing rod

41．The underlined word “pitch-black” most probably means “________”.
A．warm and bright B．light grey C．deep blue D．totally dark
42．According to the passage, sunlight can get to ________.
A．the Twilight Zone B．Abyss C．the Trenches D．the Midnight Zone
43．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage

B．Animals with large eyes can often be found in the Midnight Zone.
C．Humans are able to freely explore most of the ocean layers without any equipment.

Science and technology will continue to develop. Nature and Business in 2023 have made their predictions. Let’s have a look.
Human-like friendsRobots will be more like humans both in their looks and abilities. These robots will serve as greeters, waiters and companions of the elderly. Elon Musk’s company is working hard on making human-like robots that will work in our home. More AI systems will play roles-in areas like health care and scientific research.
Protecting the earthOne of the most difficult challenges the world faces today is reducing carbon emissions. This year we can expect more progress in green hydrogen, a new clean energy with near-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists will also have a safer way to deal with nuclear waste. The used nuclear fuel will be buried 400 meters underground.
Space and beyondThe images from the world’s largest and most powerful space telescope—the James Webb Space Telescope—have amazed the world. And the Euclid Space Telescope will be launched. It will take photos to create a 3D map of the universe. China will continue to build the Xinjiang Qitai Radio Telescope. It will be able to watch 75% of the stars in the sky at any given time.
Staying connectedPeople will communicate more smoothly. In China, the Beidou Navigation Satellite System can now be directly connected to mobile phones. We can find where the phones are even when there’s no signal. A US company is also working on a direct connection between phones and satellites. The impact of 5G will continue to grow.
39．We can probably read this article in a __________.
A．magazine B．guidebook C．comic strip D．picture book

Tip 1 Use clever names. Well, quite often Shakespeare gives information about what a person in a play is like through their names. For example, Romeo’s name means a person being romantic and kind.

ThomasBruceRichmond What should I do if I can’t find a proper word
Tip 3 ________. Eyeball. Lonely. Unreal... All these were created by Shakespeare. If you have an idea that you can’t think of a word for, be like Shakespeare and create your own.

How to Choose books you’ll love
Do you have trouble choosing a book to read With so many choices, it can be hard to decide which books are right for you. Here are some tips of choosing the ones you’re more likely to enjoy.
Thinking about stories you’ve enjoyed in the past can give you clues about what genres① you prefer. Maybe you like science fiction, which transports you to completely made-up worlds. Or perhaps you like historical fiction, made-up stories based on true events. Nonfiction is another choice. Think about the topics that interest you or an interest you have and want to know more about.
Ask for recommendations②
You can visit the library and ask a librarian to guide you to the shelves that feature the genre you’d like to dive into. Another idea is to ask friends with similar tastes what books they have liked and would recommend. You can also find a list of recommendations from the Internet.
Search for “readalikes”
If you enjoyed a particular book, you may like others that are similar in style, known as a “readalike.” You can look up a writer whose book you liked in the past, and find out whether they have written sequels③ or other books you might enjoy. If you have read through an entire series and are looking for new writers, you can checkout the website www. and put in the name of the writer you like, the site’s search engine will suggest similar writers to you.
Take the stress off
You won’t love every book you read, and that’s OK! No matter how far along you are in the book you are reading, if you don’t like it, it’s fine to stop reading it. When you take the stress off yourself to finish a book you’re not enjoying, you free yourself up to choose another book.
① genre n. 体裁 ② recommendation n. 推荐 ③ sequel n. 续集

The easiest to repairLast year, around 5.3 billion mobile phones became waste. This created a need for phones that can be fixed easily instead of being thrown away. The newest phone called the G22, is the most advanced phone that can be easily repaired. If the screen breaks or the battery dies, anyone who has a small screwdriver (螺丝刀) and five minutes can put in a new one. This saves users a lot of time waiting for repair and keeps the phone from becoming a waste.
Protecting the warming planet with AI’s helpMethane Emissions (甲烷排放) are bad for Earth. They are a big reason for climate change.

Oceans cover two-thirds of our Earth. There are five main oceans which all flow into each other: the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Southern Ocean.
What are the Layers of the Ocean
Oceans are made of five layers or depths. Each layer has different characteristics (特点), such as the temperature and the amount of light. They have unique creatures (独特的生物) living within them.
The Sunlight Zone-up to 200m below the surface of the ocean
There is plenty of sunlight and heat in this zone although both decrease (减少) as you go deeper. There are many different living things within this layer, including seaweed, dolphins, fish, and coral reefs. Humans enjoy this warm layer for activities such as swimming and fishing.
The Twilight Zone-up to 1,000m below the surface of the ocean
Only weak sunlight reaches this deeper layer. No plants grow within this layer. It is home to sea animals which often have large eyes, including the sea cucumber, the wolf eel, the swordfish and the octopus. Humans can dive to this layer wearing protective suits.
The Midnight Zone-up to 4,000m below the surface of the ocean
The Midnight Zone is pitch-black because sunlight cannot reach this layer. Some light can be seen from creatures that make their own light, such as anglerfish, jelly fish and viperfish.
Abyss-up to 6,000m below the surface of the ocean
The sunlight cannot reach this layer at all, so it is pitch-black and near freezing. Very few creatures live here, but those that do are mainly transparent (透明的), blind invertebrates (无脊椎动物), such as lanternfish, squid and amphipod.
The Trenches-up to 11,000m below the surface of the ocean
The Trenches are narrow, underwater valleys of the ocean floor which have high pressure and near-freezing temperature. There is no natural light in this zone, but different creatures can be found, such as sea stars.
39．Which of the following pictures about ocean layers is correct
A． B．
C． D．
40．________ is a must-have if someone wants to explore the Twilight Zone.
A．Sunscrean (防晒霜) B．A fishing rod
C．A strong underwater light D．A waterproof (防水的) bag
41．The underlined word “pitch-black” most probably means “________”.
A．warm and bright B．light grey C．deep blue D．totally dark
42．According to the passage, sunlight can get to ________.
A．the Twilight Zone B．Abyss C．the Trenches D．the Midnight Zone
43．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Plants and living things can be found in each ocean layer.
B．Animals with large eyes can often be found in the Midnight Zone.
C．Humans are able to freely explore most of the ocean layers without any equipment.
D．Neither the temperature nor the amount of sunlight is the same in each ocean layer.
44．The main purpose of this article is to ________.
A．recommend a new kind of underwater sport
B．introduce the structure and biology of the ocean
C．share personal stories of deep-sea adventures
D．compare different oceans around the world
【答案】39．C 40．C 41．D 42．A 43．D 44．B
【导语】本文主要介绍海洋的五个层的特点和存在的生物。
39．细节理解题。根据“The Sunlight Zone-up to 200m below the surface of the ocean”可知，阳光区——海平面以下200米的地方，排除AD；根据“The Midnight Zone-up to 4,000m below the surface of the ocean”可知，午夜区深达海面以下4000米，排除B，故选C。
40．推理判断题。根据“Only weak sunlight reaches this deeper layer.”可知，只有微弱的阳光才能到达这层深层。所以如果想要进入Twilight Zone，强烈的水下光线是必要的。故选C。
41．词句猜测题。根据“The Midnight Zone is pitch-black because sunlight cannot reach this layer.”可知，光无法到达这一层，所以是漆黑一片，故选D。
42．细节理解题。根据“The Twilight Zone-up to 1,000m below the surface of the ocean Only weak sunlight reaches this deeper layer.”可知，阳光可以到达Twilight Zone，故选A。
43．细节理解题。根据“Each layer has different characteristics (特点), such as the temperature and the amount of light.”可知，每一层都有不同的特性，比如温度和光照量。故选D。

Science and technology will continue to develop. Nature and Business in 2023 have made their predictions. Let’s have a look.
Human-like friendsRobots will be more like humans both in their looks and abilities. These robots will serve as greeters, waiters and companions of the elderly. Elon Musk’s company is working hard on making human-like robots that will work in our home. More AI systems will play roles-in areas like health care and scientific research.
Protecting the earthOne of the most difficult challenges the world faces today is reducing carbon emissions. This year we can expect more progress in green hydrogen, a new clean energy with near-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists will also have a safer way to deal with nuclear waste. The used nuclear fuel will be buried 400 meters underground.
Space and beyondThe images from the world’s largest and most powerful space telescope—the James Webb Space Telescope—have amazed the world. And the Euclid Space Telescope will be launched. It will take photos to create a 3D map of the universe. China will continue to build the Xinjiang Qitai Radio Telescope. It will be able to watch 75% of the stars in the sky at any given time.
Staying connectedPeople will communicate more smoothly. In China, the Beidou Navigation Satellite System can now be directly connected to mobile phones. We can find where the phones are even when there’s no signal. A US company is also working on a direct connection between phones and satellites. The impact of 5G will continue to grow.
