Brandy
was
an
old
dog.
When
her
owner
died,
the
dog
stayed
near
the
house
and
waited
for
her
owner
to
return.
Some
of
the
neighbors
left
food
out
for
Brandy.
But
while
they
thought
the
dog
was
friendly,
they
weren't
much
worried
about
Brandy.
One
day,
Brandy
walked
into
the
neighbor's
yard
and
began
playing
with
18?month?old
Adam.
The
young
mother
didn't
like
the
dirty
dog
at
first.
But
seeing
her
son
having
fun
playing
with
her,
she
decided
to
let
Brandy
stay.
One
afternoon,
the
boy's
mother
left
Adam
in
the
yard
to
play
while
she
answered
the
phone.
When
she
returned,
he
was
gone.
The
mother
was
scared
and
called
the
police.
They
looked
for
Adam
for
six
hours,
but
were
unsuccessful.
Then
someone
said
he
had
heard
barking
coming
from
the
woods.
So
they
all
rushed
to
the
woods.
Adam
was
fast
asleep
against
a
tree.
Brandy
was
keeping
Adam
there
while
one
of
her
own
legs
was
in
a
deep
hole.
Brandy
had
followed
Adam
when
he
walked
away.
Seeing
him
in
danger,
she'd
held
him
safely
for
all
those
hours.
Adam's
mother
was
so
grateful
that
Brandy
spent
the
rest
of
her
days
with
them.
In
Brandy's
honor,
Adam's
mother
founded
Pets
Alive,
a
pet
rescue
(救援)
center
in
New
York.
She
can't
save
every
animal,
but
she
knows
that
if
someone
had
put
that
old
dog
to
sleep,
she
could
have
easily
lost
her
only
son.

An
unforgettable
experience
London
in
the
middle
of
the
17th
century
was
a
city
of
narrow,
dirty
streets.
Indeed,
the
streets
were
so
narrow
that
it
was
often
possible
for
a
person
at
a
window
on
one
side
of
the
street
to
shake
hands
with
a
neighbor
on
the
other
side.
There
was
little
light
and
air.
Rubbish
stayed
in
dark
corners.
In
1666,
the
Great
Fire
took
place.
It
broke
out
late
on
a
Saturday
night
on
a
street
not
far
from
London
Bridge.
The
summer
had
been
dry—a
hot
east
wind
blew
and
the
fire
spread
quickly.
At
night,
the
fire
could
be
seen
from
ten
miles
away.
The
fire
burned
for
five
days
and
destroyed
the
greater
part
of
the
city.
But
it
did
the
city
good,
as
it
cleared
away
the
old
wooden
houses
and
dirty,
narrow
streets.
A
monument
(纪念碑)
near
London
Bridge
still
marks
the
spot
where
the
fire
broke
out.
Sir
Christopher
Wren,
a
famous
architect
of
that
day,
took
part
in
rebuilding
the
city.
After
the
fire,
wider
streets
and
brick
houses
were
built.
The
old
church
of
St.
Paul
was
among
the
buildings
destroyed
by
the
fire.
In
its
place
Wren
built
the
present
St.
Paul's
Cathedral.
He
lies
buried
under
the
roof
of
his
own
great
work.
These
words
are
written
on
his
gravestone
(墓碑):
“Reader,
if
you
want
to
see
his
monument,
look
around.”
(　　)6.

like
in
the
17th
century?
A.
Clean
and
bright.
B.
Big

calm.
C.

D.

small.
(　　)7.
Why
could
two
people
on
opposite
sides
of
the
street
shake
hands?
A.
They
were
friendly.
B.
The
streets
were
narrow.
C.
The
houses
were
small.
D.
The
windows
were
closed.
(　　)8.

Fire?

on
a

quickly.

it
out.

3D
printing
is
becoming
more
and
more
popular.
We
are
now
able
to
print
things
such
as
clothing,
musical
instruments
and
even
cars.
People
and
businesses
are
able
to
create
the
things
they
need
very
quickly
and
easily
by
using
3D
printers.
But
can
you
imagine
printing
food?
Some
scientists
are
trying
to
change
the
dining
experience
completely
by
doing
this.
They
hope
that
having
a
3D
printer
in
the
kitchen
will
become
as
common
as
the
microwave.
Scientists
say
that
they
are
easy
to
use:
you
simply
have
to
choose
a
recipe(食谱)
and
put
the
uncooked
food
“inks”
into
the
printer
to
make
the
food
you
want.
This
means
that
it
would
be
very
quick
and
easy
to
create
tasty
and
healthy
meals.
Using
3D
printers
to
create
your
meals
would
also
be
saving
the
environment.
There
would
be
less
need
for
traditional
growing,
shipping
and
packaging
steps
as
food
production
would
be
a
lot
quicker
and
better.
For
example,
tree
leaves
and
insects
could
be
turned
into
tasty
products!
However,
some
people
think
that
a
future
of
3D?printed
food
would
be
a
disaster.
It
could
take
away
many
jobs,
including
those
for
growing,
shipping
and
packaging
food.
Imagine
a
world
where
there
was
no
need
for
farming
or
growing
crops
and
the
same
tastes
and
structures
could
be
printed
from
an
uncooked
“food
ink”.
Traditional
cafes
and
restaurants
might
lose
business,
too.
Also,
there
are
worries
about
the
healthy
value
of
printed
food:
is
it
really
possible
to
get
what
we
need
from
food?based
“inks”
or
something
like
that?
As
we
know,
cooking
and
eating
together
with
family
and
friends
has
long
been
a
traditional
and
enjoyable
activity.
It
is
hard
to
imagine
a
world
where
the
pastime
of
cooking
is
dead
and
meals
can
be
created
at
the
touch
of
a
button.
(　　)11.
What
does
the
second
paragraph
mainly
tell
us?
A.
We
can
change
our
recipes
by
3D
food
printing.
B.
There
are
many
ways
of
printing
food
on
the
3D
printer.
C.
3D
food
printing
has
become
very
common
in
the
kitchen.
D.
Some
scientists
are
trying
to
make
3D
food
printing
used
widely.
(　　)12.
Why
does
the
writer
give
the
example
in
Paragraph
3?
A.
To
show
us
how
3D
food
printing
works.
B.
To
tell
us
why
we
should
use
3D
food
printing.
C.
To
help
us
to
know
what
we
can
use
to
print
food.
D.
To
let
us
understand
when
to
use
3D
food
printing.
(　　)13.
Which
of
the
following
is
NOT
mentioned
if
3D
food
printing
is
widely
used?
A.
Some
people
may
lose
their
jobs.
B.
People
can
produce
food
in
a
quicker
way.
C.
All
the
restaurants
and
cafes
will
disappear.
D.
People
can
eat
the
production
of
insects
and
leaves.
(　　)14.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“those”
refer
to?
A.
Many
jobs.
B.
People
without
jobs.
C.
Crops.
D.
3D
food

(　　)15.

opinion
about
3D
food
printing?
A.
3D?printed
food
is
tasty
and
necessary.
B.
It
is
difficult
to
understand
3D
food
printing.

Cooking
food
is
more
pleasant
than

Beijing
Opera
is
one
of
the
Chinese
traditional
drama
art
forms
and
the
largest
Chinese
opera
form.
Having
a
history
of
about
200
years,
it
is
developed
from
many

the
local
drama
“Huiban”.
It
was
especially
popular
in
south
China
during

art
forms
in
many
other
countries
do
not
have
singing,
dancing
and
spoken
parts
together
in
one
single
drama.
An
opera
singer,
for

dancing
parts
in

dancer
doesn't
speak
or
sing.

is
a
kind
of
entertainment.
It
includes
spoken
parts,
singing
and
dancing.
Beijing
Opera
has
spread
to

Mei
Lanfang,
one

In
order
to
stress
(强调)
the
importance
of
hard?working
spirit
education
(劳动教育)
among
students
of
different
ages,
the
Communist
Party
of
China
Central
Committee
(中共中央)
recently
released
(发布)
a
guideline
(指导纲要)．
The
guideline
calls
for
students
to
respect
labor
work.
Students
should
learn
basic
life
skills
and
form
good
working
habits
through
such
education.
The
government
has
been
trying
to
stress
the
importance
of
hard?working
spirit
education.
But
this
has
been
overlooked
(忽视)
in
recent
years.
Many
teenagers
do
not
value
the
importance
of
working
hard
and
aren't
interested
in
doing
so.
According
to
a
study
of
nearly
3，000
students
that
was
done
by
Ningbo
Evening
News
in
March,
only
22%
of
students
help
with
everyday
chores
around
the
house.
Schools
and
families
play
an
important
role
in
teaching
students
about
the
value
of
working
hard,
the
guideline
says.
Primary
and
middle
schools
should
provide
students
with
hard?working
spirit
classes
every
week,
according
to
the
guideline.
Schools
can
also
hold
activities
to
give
students
real?world
work
experience.
For
example,
schools
can
teach
children
how
to
plant
trees
on
Tree?Planting
Day.
As
children's
first
teachers,
parents
should
also
encourage
children
to
learn
how
to
do
chores
at
home.
Students
should
master
one
or
two
life
skills
every
year.
These
skills
can
include
cooking,
washing
their
own
clothes
and
tidying
their
rooms.

called
the
Kingdom
of
Fans.
Fans
are
everywhere
in
our
daily
life.
But
how
much
do
you
know
about
them?
It
is
said
that
fans
were
first
used
to
cool
the
air
during
the
Shang
Dynasty.
At
that
time,
they
were
made
of
feathers,
bamboo
or
silk.
Some
of
them
were
round,
while
others
were
square.
Folding
paper
fans
first
became
popular
during
the
Song
Dynasty.
There
were
usually
beautiful
pictures
on
the
fans.
Some
were
mountains
and
rivers,
others
were
flowers
and
animals.
Many
people,
including
Su
Dongpo,
a
poet
of
the
Song
Dynasty,
and
Tang
Bohu,
a
scholar
of
the
Song
Dynasty,
even
painted
and
wrote
poems
on
fans.
This
made
the
fans
into
art
works.
Many
rich
and
important
people
liked
holding
fans.
Today,
fans
are
popular
gifts.
During
the

Beijing
Olympic
Games,
folding
fans
were
given
to
leaders
and
officials
from
other
countries,
as
well
as

having
their
fans
to
get

Animals
are
our
friends.
Sometimes
they
make
trouble,
but
sometimes
they
can
help
us.
And
they
hope
to
live
a
happy
life,
too.
Here
are
two
real
stories
from
our
readers.
The
first
story
is
from
Ray.
“My
cat,
Tiger,
hates
it
when
I
use
my
iPad
because
it
takes
my
attention
away
from
him.
One
year,
I
had
a
fall
at
home
and
was
on
the
floor
for
16
hours.
During
this
time,
I
was
unable
to
move
and
couldn't
get
to
the
phone
to
call
for
help.
Tiger
stayed
by
my
side
until
he
disappeared
under
my
bed.
‘What's
he
up
to？’
I
wondered.
To
my
surprise,
he
started
to
push
something
towards
me.
It
was
my
iPad,
which
I
didn't
realize
had
fallen
off
the
bed
and
onto
the
floor.
He
probably
didn't
know
what
it
was,
but
he
knew
that
it
made
me
happy.
Thanks
to
Tiger,
I
was
able
to
communicate
with
my
friend,
Becky,
who
then
told
my
doctor.”
The
second
story
is
from
Colin.
“Years
ago,
my
friend
Julius
saved
a
bird—a
wild
‘Mom’
cockatoo(鹦鹉)from
the
side
of
the
road
and
kept
it
as
a
pet
in
a
big
cage(笼子).
It
lost
one
of
her
wings,
so
she
was
unable
to
return
to
the
wild.
Soon,
two
wild
cockatoos
came
visiting
and
one
‘Dad’
bird
wanted
to
find
his
way
into
the
cage.
The
‘Mom’
cockatoo
in
the
cage
was
soon
expecting.
But
as
she
couldn't
fly,
‘Dad’
cockatoo
built
a
home
in
the
tree,
keeping
off
everyone
who
got
close
to
‘Mom’
cockatoo.‘Baby’
cockatoo
would
spend
his
days
flying
off
with
his
dad,
leaving
his
mom
behind.
She
would
sit
and
wait
until
they
returned
home
each
afternoon.
The
family
stayed
together
happily.”
After
reading
the
stories,
don't
you
think
we
should
get
along
well
with
animals?
No
matter
they
are
our
pets
or
live
in
the
wild,
they
have
their
feelings.
We
should
respect
every
life
in
the
world.

In
1972,
Richard
Sears,
a
young
American
began
learning
Chinese
because
of
his
interest
in
traditional
Chinese
culture.
Drawn
to
the
ancient
language,
he
went
to
China
to
study
Chinese
in
the
1990s.
In
1994,
Richard
Sears
decided
to
put
the
ancient
Chinese
characters
online.
Then,
in
2002,
he
did
it.
That
is
the
beginning
of
the
Chinese
Etymology(汉字字源)website.
“My
website
did
not
get
much
attention
for
the
next
few
years.
Until
one
day
in
2011,
it
suddenly
got
a
lot
of
attention.”
“I
got
a
few
thousand
emails,
and
a
few
million
visitors
and
people
started
calling
me
‘Uncle
Hanzi',
”
Sears
said
with
a
smile.
Hanzi
means
Chinese
characters.
He
has
put
more
than
96,
000
ancient
Chinese
characters
onto
the
website.
“When
I
study
each
character,
I
wonder
what
the
ancient
Chinese
thought,
”
said
Sears.
After
visiting
many
Chinese
cities,
Sears
learned
more
about
China
and
ancient
Chinese
culture.
He
said
when
he
came
to
China
in
the
last
century,
few
Chinese
could
speak
good
English.
“However,
you
can
hear
English
in
many
places
in
China
now.
Chinese
language
and
culture
were
mysterious
and
not
known
by
people
in
most
countries
then,
but
now,
more
and
more
people
in
the
world
are
learning
Chinese,
even
Chinese
history,
traditional
Chinese
medicine
and
so
on,
”
Sears
added.
At
present,
the
70?year?old
American
has
made
his
home
in
China.
“When
I
die,
I
hope
my
website
will
live
on,
and
I'm
planning
to
write
a
book
about
my
research.
This
will
be
my
gift
to
China,

said.

(黄石改编)
In
the
last
passage
we've
already
talked
about
some
dangerous
plants,
but
we
don't
want
to
give
anyone
the
wrong
idea.
The
truth
is
that
some
plants
can
hurt
you,
but
most
are
completely
harmless.
In
fact,
there
are
plenty
of
plants
that
are
actually
very
useful
to
humans.
That
is
why
plants
are
so
popular
in
Chinese
medicine.
Chinese
medicine
has
been
using
plants
for
at
least
4,
800
years.
One
of
the
most
popular
plants
in
Chinese
medicine
is
ginseng(人参).
Doctors
of
Chinese
medicine
believe
that
ginseng
can
help
your
lungs(肺),
clean
your
blood
and
do
many
other
thing.
Ginseng
also
provides
energy
for
people.
In
fact,
many
modern
energy
drinks
that
you
see
in
stores
have
ginseng.
In
some
parts
of
U．S.,
there
is
a
plant
called
lady
fern(蹄盖蕨).
This
is
the
plant
you
need
if
you've
been
stung
by
a
bee,
or
if
you've
got
a
small
burn
or
a
cut.
Lady
ferns
are
great
for
making
your
skin
feel
better.
All
you
have
to
do
is
roll
one
of
its
leaves
and
make
it
into
pieces
in
your
hands.
The
juice
inside
the
leaf
will
help
your
skin
feel
better.
If
you're
hiking
in
Europe,
look
for
a
flower
called
tansy(艾菊).
This
yellow
flower
is
a
natural
insects'
enemy.
You
just
rub
it
on
your
skin,
and
insects
will
leave
you
alone.
Sage(鼠尾草)is
one
of
the
most
useful
plants
in
the
world.
Because
it
has
so
many
uses
it's
also
quite
valuable.
Human
beings
have
been
using
sage
for
a
very
long
time.
In
Europe
before
fridges
appeared,
people
used
sage
to
keep
food.
Over
the
years,
people
have
used
sage
to
fight
all
kinds
of
health
problems.
Sage
has
been
used
to
treat
colds,
stop
muscle(肌肉)problems
and
reduce(减少)
swelling.
In
fact,
sage
comes
from
the
Latin
word
“salvere”，
which
means
“to
be
saved”．

Some
useful
plants
Tea
is
an
important
part
of
Chinese
tradition.
Tea
has
very
close
relationship
to
Chinese
culture.
It's
said
that
Chinese
tea
was
discovered
by
King
Shen
Nong.
People
say
that
he
lived
5，000
years
ago.
One
summer
day,
while
he
was
visiting
a
faraway
part
of
his
country,
he
felt
very
thirsty.
When
the
servants
were
boiling
the
water
for
him
to
drink,
the
dried
leaves
from
a
near
plant
fell
into
the
water.
The
King
drank
some,
and
found
it
could
make
him
feel
less
tired,
which
made
Shen
Nong
interested
in
the
new
drink.
And
so,
tea
was
created
in
2737BC.
Drinking
tea
has
many
advantages.
It
makes
people
feel
less
tired,
clears
heat
inside
the
human
body
and
helps
people
lose
weight.
As
you
add
a
cup
of
tea
to
your
daily
life,
please
check
the
following
advice.
(1)Drink
it
hot.
Tea
oxides(氧化)quickly,
so
it
is
suggested
that
you
drink
it
hot.
(2)Do
not
drink
too
much
strong
tea.
It
will
probably
be
harmful
to
your
stomach
and
make
you
feel
sick
if
you
make
the
tea
too
strong.
(3)The
best
time
to
drink
tea
is
between
meals.
It
may
not
make
you
have
a
strong
wish
to
eat
when
your
stomach
is
full.
(4)Do
not
drink
with
medicine.
It
may
change
the
medical
result.
You
can
drink
tea
two
hours
after
you
take
medicine.
(5)Green
tea
is
the
best
choice
for
office
workers.
Why?
Because
green
tea
helps
stop
the
bad
result
of
the
computer.

Man
vs.
Horse
Marathon
This
race
takes
place
in
a
small
town
in
Wales,
about
200
miles
from
London.
It's
called
a
marathon
(马拉松)，but
it's
actually
35.4
km,
not
42.2
km
like
a
usual
marathon.People
race
against
horses
across
the
hills
and
mountains.It
started
in
1981,
but
a
human
did
not
win
until
2004.
Camel
Wrestling
In
Turkey,
camel(骆驼)wrestling
is
a
very
old
sport.
The
largest
camel
wrestling
competition
takes
place
every
year
and
thousands
of
people
come.
In
the
sport,
two
camels
fight
against
each
other.
Sometimes
the
camels
do
not
want
to
fight
and
they
run
through
the
crowds,
which
can
be
dangerous.
Dragon
Boat
Racing
Every
year
in
China,
thousands
of
people
watch
dragon
boat
races.
A
dragon
boat
is
a
traditional
Chinese
boat
with
a
painted
dragon's
head
on
one
end.
There
can
be
up
to
36
people
or
more
racing
in
each
boat
in
the
water.
Dragon
boat
racing
is
also
popular
in
some
other
Asian
countries.
Caber
Toss
In
this
sport,
players
compete
to
throw
a
large
piece
of
wood
called
a
caber
as
far
as
they
can.
There
is
no
rule
about
the
size
of
the
caber,
but
it's
usually
the
size
of
a
small
tree.
It's
an
ancient
Scottish
sport.

阅读下列短文，从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
It
might
be
fun
to
use
your
smartphone,
but
be
careful.
Too
much
screen
time
may
be
harmful
to
your
health.
First,
it
is
bad
for
your
eyes.
A
researcher
called
Sarah
Hinkley
says
the
problem
comes
from
the
blue
light
that
the
screen
gives
out.
Looking
at
a
smartphone
for
a
long
time
can
cause
eye
strain(劳损),
headaches
and
dry
eyes.
So
it
is
a
good
idea
to
take
a
break
every
15
minutes
when
you
are
working
at
a
computer
or
using
a
smartphone.
Second,
screen
use
can
do
harm
to
children's
brains.
A
new
study
shows
that
using
screens
too
much
can
affect(影响)
how
children's
brains
grow.
If
children
use
screens
for
more
than
one
hour
a
day,
they
might
have
lower
levels
of
white
matter
in
their
brains.
White
matter
is
a
key
to
the
development
of
language
and
reading
skills.
So
it
is
wise
to
cut
down
the
time
of
children
using
all
kinds
of
screens.
Third,
using
screens
too
much
will
affect
your
sleep.
According
to
a
study,
about
95%
of
the
people
between
the
ages
of
13
and
64
use
electronics
before
bed,
especially
the
young
people
under
20.
Doctors
say
that
the
light
from
those
electronics
at
night
may
make
you
excited
before
you
go
to
bed.
Then
it's
hard
for
you
to
get
enough
sleep.
So
you'd
better
turn
off
smartphones,
TVs,
and
all
other
screens
an
hour
before
your
bedtime.
To
keep
healthy,
doctors
and
researchers
strongly
advise
that
you
shouldn't
use
screens
for
long
hours.
(　　)1.What
problem
can
the
blue
light
from
your
screens
cause?
A.
Eyestrain.
B.
Headaches.
C.
Dry
eyes.
D.
All
of
the
above.
(　　)2.Why
can't
you
sleep
well
according
to
the
passage?
A.
Because
you
take
a
break
every
15
minutes.
B.
Because
you
have
lower
levels
of
white
matter.
C.
Because
you
use
screens
too
much
before
bed.
D.
Because
you
are
the
people
from
13
to
64.
(　　)3.Which
of
the
following
is
NOT
true
according
to
the
passage?
A.
Using
smartphones
for
long
hours
does
harm
to
your
eyes.
B.
A
lot
of
screen
time
affects
children's
brain
growth.
C.
The
light
from
electronics
at
night
may
make
you
excited.
D.
People
of
all
ages
mustn't
use
electronics.
(　　)4.Where
may
you
read
the
passage?
A.
A
science
magazine.
B.
A
travel
diary.
C.
A
guide
book.
D.
A
novel.
(　　)5.What
is
the
main
idea
of
the
passage?
A.
The
ways
to
keep
healthy.
B.
The
harm
of
using
screens
too
much.
C.
The
ways
to
use
screens.
D.
The
advantages
of
using
screens.
Part
of
Earth's
beauty
comes
from
its
oceans.
Ocean
scientists
study
the
chemical
make－up
of
the
ocean,
weather
patterns,
the
geography
of
the
ocean
floor,
and
many
other
areas.
Their
work
is
exciting,
although
sometimes
dangerous.
Using
technology
to
do
certain
tasks
helps.
For
example,
robotic
arms
are
used
for
very
dangerous
tasks.
One
basic
part
of
ocean
study
is
understanding
waves
and
how
they
work.
Wind
is
the
great
maker
of
waves.
The
waves
we
know
are
mostly
produced
by
winds
blowing
over
the
sea.
They
are
directly
connected
with
the
wind
speed
and
the
time
that
wind
lasts.
Sometimes
ocean
life
can
be
seen
in
the
wave.
Living
things
seem
to
be
staying
within
the
wave,
moving
slowly
inside
it
as
if
they
were
weightless.
Besides
the
beauty
of
waves,
scientists
are
interested
in
their
technical
ways.
The
diagram
of
waves
shows
how
scientists
examine
waves.
Waves
are
measured
(测量)
from
the
top
(crest)
to
the
bottom
(trough).
This
allows
scientists
to
find
out
the
height
of
a
wave.
They
also
measure
waves
from
crest
to
crest
to
determine
(测定)
the
length
of
a
wave.
During
serious
storms,
huge
waves
might
cut
a
sea
ship
apart.
Ships
are
at
great
risk
of
winding
up
as
broken
pieces
after
being
hit
by
the
force
of
a
huge
wave.
By
understanding
the
ocean,
scientists
can
prevent
this
breakup
of
ships
by
predicting
when
the
water
will
be
too
dangerous
for
people
and
their
ships.
The
study
of
waves
and
the
ocean
also
allows
scientists
to
make
sure
how
certain
beaches
were
formed.
By
studying
the
oceans,
a
great
deal
can
be
learned
about
the
surface
we
live
on.
(　　)6.Why
are
robotic
arms
used?
A.
Because
certain
tasks
are
very
dangerous.
B.
Because
the
tasks
are
exciting.
C.
Because
the
oceans
are
beautiful.
D.
Because
there
are
many
studying
areas.
(　　)7.What
can
we
learn
from
the
Paragraph
2?
A.
Waves
can
make
wind.
B.
Most
waves
are
produced
by
winds.
C.
Scientists
make
most
waves.
D.
Waves
have
nothing
to
do
with
wind.
(　　)8.What
is
the
meaning
of
the
phrase
“
the
length
of
length
of
a
wave”
according
to
Paragraph
3?
A.
The
beauty
of
huge
waves.
B.
The
technical
way
to
study
the
sea.
C.
The
distance
from
crest
to
crest
of
a
wave.
D.
The
distance
from
the
top
to
the
bottom
of
a
wave.
(　　)9.Which
of
the
following
statements
are
RIGHT
according
to
the
passage?
①
Scientists
can
decide
the
weather
patterns.
②
We
can't
find
living
things
in
the
waves.
③
By
studying
the
ocean,
scientists
can
prevent
the
breakup
of
ships.
④
The
study
of
waves
helps
scientists
know
how
certain
beaches
were
formed.
