11、bles float to the surface of the sea, divers on the workboat know that their colleague Liu Zhiyuan is ready to get out of the water. Liu, an underwater archaeologist, is excavating（挖掘）the sunken ship Nanao No.1, which experts believe went down during the Ming dynasty. It was found in 2007 in the Sou

12、th China Sea near Nanao Island in Guangdong Province. So far they have sorted out mostly porcelain and copper coins, as well as an iron cannon. Liu, 34, like many other archaeologists, took up his profession because “you never know what youll find” in each excavation. Since 2005 Liu has taken part i

13、n 90 percent of all underwater archaeological projects in China, mostly in the southeast seas.As underwater excavation is affected by wind, water temperature and visibility, each year Liu and his colleagues have only two to three months to work on the sunken ship, usually from late April to mid-July

14、.“Every second that you spend underwater is risky,” Liu says.Attacks by some underwater creatures, for example, happen often, and even the lightest hurt will take half a month to heal. Fear of darkness and fear of losing the sense of direction are also common. Meanwhile, the boring life on the boat

15、is challenging, too.Each diver can only make one 25-minute dive once a day, since at least 24 hours are required for the body to recover. So besides caring for equipment and the caluable things they saved, Liu sometimes passes the time competing against his colleagues in the online game Age of Empir

16、es. Liu is also preparing for the following cards and Chinese chess matches with his colleagues.“I am still suffering from seasickness, but Im ready to be the winner,” Liu says.24.

17、 contains porcelain and a cannon.D. It was once attacked.25. Why do the archaeologists have only two to three months to work underwater?A. Because working underwater is highly dangerous.B.

Liu is a good player of cards and Chinese chess.D. Liu is the winner of the cards and Chinese chess matches. CThinking about the future isnt specia

20、l skill. Actually, everyone does it all the time. We schedule future activities and appointments on our calendars. We make to-do lists, a promise to ourselves of how we will spend our future time and energy. We look up the weekends weather. We make predictions about the results of sporting events. W

21、e practice, study and train for upcoming events that matter to us. We daydream about events were eagerly looking forward to. We worry about others.Most of this common future thinking is about the near future: the next few minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or maybe even the next few years of our li

22、ves. Little time is spent thinking about what our lives will be like or what actions we should prepare to take in the far future: ten years, twenty years, or even fifty years from now. This kind of far-future thinking is the domain of professional futurists.Futurists are trained to imagine distant r

23、ealities that seem impossible to others: technologies that dont exist yet, great changes to laws, strange diseases most likely to infect us in the year 2031. Why indeed think about such remote futures? Are there psychological and social benefits to imagining the world, and our lives, decades in adva

24、nce? And if so, what does it take to become good at imagining the far future?These were the fascinating questions that we recently explored with other futurists. I was personally inspired by the discussions, and learned a lot about how futurists imagine the future of life. They specifically wanted t

25、o use their imaginations to make the world a better place. Another big benefit for me was that this way of thinking is a skill that can be taught. Society would benefit greatly if we all learned the valuable skills that enable us to think about what things would be like in the future.28. The writer

28、aph?A. The way futurists imagine the future of life is interesting.B. The idea of using imagination to make the world a better place is ridiculous.C. It is impossible for us to think about future things as futurists.D. Society will benefit a lot if we all train ourselves to think as a futurist. DAs

29、has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe, few issues cause greater concern than energy policy. Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take direct action, even though the planning laws put them at a sev

30、ere disadvantage. And the generous subsidies (财政补贴) , which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents (居民) . Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out

31、 of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring, because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting EU ( Europea

32、n Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation.(再生) Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition (联合) governmen

33、t are in disagreement over what it should say. We have some advice for the two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue

34、 their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention. The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an acceptable report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain wa

35、y. Given the sensitivities involved, all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion（猜疑）that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.32.

36、t benefits to the residentsB. the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farms.C. many village communities are satisfied with the subsidiesD. energy policy catches much attention of the public33. Supporters think that the expansion of wind power_.A. is more rapid than that of carbon-based p

37、owerB. agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generationC. is expected to be much better than that of nuclear powerD. guarantees an increase in energy output34. It can be inferred from the passage that_.A. an official report will settle the energy problemB. the two parties are divided over the

38、 issue of wind farmsC. the two parties have agreed on a further negotiationD. political beliefs concerning energy issue go against facts.35. Which of the following reflects the authors opinion?A.Let the nation judge the facts about wind power. B. Release a statement of supporters on wind farms.C Inc

39、rease political impact on energy policy D. Leave the two parties to reach their own conclusions. Imagine that youre an actor or actress performing in a play for the first time.

40、nce whispering. Then your big moment arrives! The curtain goes up, and the crowd falls silent.

41、right. Its one of the most common types of fear. 37 You can experience this kind of fear when playing sports, giving a talk, or even speaking in class. 38 The experience differs from person to person, but the same chemical process occurs on each of us. In reaction to anxiety, our bodies produce a ch

42、emical that prepares us to either fight or run away quickly. Scientists refer to this as our bodies “fight for flight” reaction. As a result, we feel the great energy that makes our hands sweat, our hearts race and knees shake. 39 Practicing your performance and following some simple tips can help y

43、ou calm down and manage the feelings caused by anxiety. Firstly, dress comfortably and appropriately. Secondly, before the performance, take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body.
