cages.A hookah system is a system of providing air from the surface to divers down below.Cage divers breathe by using a regulator connected to an air hose.Is SharkDiving Dangerous?Yes.You could get sunburnt.You could hit your head on the top bunk getting out of bed.You could fall overboard.As for a shark attack,according to the International Shark Attack File,you are far more likely to be killed by a dog or a deer.Pricing&Details One day Cage Diver Adventure$875 Our expert shark diver team will accompany you to the best viewing areas within the Marine Sanctuary.There,well drop our cage and prepare to provide you with a view youll never forget.No dive experience is necessary.Our cages sit just below the surface.Youll be able to breathe comfortably from your snorkel or air hose while you move about the cage,taking photos and having fun.Top Shark Adventure$375 If you want to see great white sharks but prefer them a little further away,we offer great top-side shark viewing from our observation deck(甲板).Help scan the horizon for fins and watch for sharks attacking their prey(猎物).Important Note Theres No Shark Guarantee Although we go to the best places at the best time of year,we

about the two adventures?_.A.Top Shark Adventure makes use of hookah systems.B.Cage Diver Adventure offers you a view of the bottom of the sea.C.Cage Diver Adventure is less interesting than the other.D.Top Shark Adventure is suitable for those worried about danger.2.We can learn from the advertisement that there might be a risk that_.A.you fail to achieve your purpose of the trip B.you are out of breath deep down in the sea C.you are hurt by a shark while diving there D.you suffer from lack of skill in shark diving 3.It can be inferred from the advertisement that shark diving is_.A.difficult but exciting B.challenging and tiring C.amazing and enjoyable D.expensive but popular B Imagine that youare a superhero.Your superpowers are activated by a special suit.The suit communicates with your brain.It allows you to do amazing things with only a thought.By concentrating on strength,for example,you can kick a soccer ball across a field.By focusing on swift actions,you can jump to the top of a tree.Such a connection between mind and machine may sound like a fantasy.To scientists,though,it is a very real goal.They are creating machines that let disabled monkeys walk.These machines may soon help disabled humans do the same.Unlike other bionic devices,these robotic“super suits”do not communicate with muscles and nerves.Instead,they have a direct line to the brain.In 2005,doctors drilled a hole in the skull of Hutchinson,who had lost her right arm in an accident.Then they inserted a sensor onto her motor cortex(大脑皮层运动区).Wires connected the sensor to a receiver on her head.After she recovered,researchers pluggedHutchinsons receiver into a cable that relayed signals from her brain to computers.Then they connected a robotic arm to the computers.The computerscould interpretHutchinsons brain signals to move the arm.Soon,Hutchinson,the computer,and the robotic arm became a team.Hutchinsonwas even able to lift her hand and drink from a cup.“She smiled when she put down that drinkthats everything.”says Donoghue,a brain scientist.Today other scientists are building on that success.One of those scientists is Dr.Miguel Nicolelis,who designed a whole-body bionic equipment.In 2014,a disabled former athlete kicked the first ball of the World Cup Games wearing one of Miguels full-body exoskeletons.The exoskeleton was connected to brain signal sensors in the mans cap.By thinking about kicking,he sent signals to a computer on his back.The computer then translated the signal into an exoskeleton-aided kick.Such designs may become common as scientists keep merging mind and machine.4.Which can best describe the tone of paragraph 1?A.Narrative and serious.B.Persuasive and critical.C.Informative and objective.D.Descriptive and imaginative.5.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A.Reason of the experiment.B.Results of the experiment.C.Process of the experiment.D.Significance of the experiment.6.Why is Dr.Miguels exoskeleton special?A.It can be used on animals.B.It can move the whole body.C.It was supported by computers.D.It was connected directly to the brain.7.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Robotic suits may be widely used to help disabled people.B.Exoskeleton is more common thanHutchinsons bionic arm.C.Scientific experiments are commonly carried out in football fields.D.Disabled athletes can now play football again with the help of computer.C The health benefits of staying active are already well-known.It can help you manage weight,keep blood sugar levels down and reduce risk factors for heart disease.Now,a new study suggests that regularly playing sports,especially badminton or tennis,is not only healthy but also reduces your risk of death,at any age,by approximately 50%.This is a big scale population study to explore the health benefits of sports in terms of death rate.The study evaluated responses from 80,306 adults aged 30 and above inEnglandandScotland,who were surveyed about their health,lifestyle and exercise patterns.After adjusting factors such as age,sex,weight,smoking habits,alcohol use,education and other forms of exercise besidesthe named sports,the researchers compared the risk of death among people who took part in a sport to those who didnt.The percentage of reduced risk of death was found to be:47%for racket（球拍）sports,28%for swimming and 15%for cycling.In addition to this,the study didnt find any significant reduction in the risk for sports like running and football.The findings also exposed that over 44%of the participants met the guidelines for the recommended exercise levels to stay fit and healthy,which amounts to 150 minutes of moderate(适度的)physical activity in a week.Does this mean you stop running or playing football and switch to tennis instead?Every kind of sport and physical activity has different physical,social and mental benefits attached to it.The apparent lack of benefits of running and football could result from several variables that were not taken into account.Being active helps you feel happier and live longer.So,the most important step is to take part in any kind of sport that you are likely to enjoy and follow in the long term.8.How is the study conducted?A.By doing comparative experiments.B.By analyzing previous data.C.By evaluating survey information.D.By tracking participants for a long time.9.What does the underlined part“the named sports”refer to?A.Ball sports.B.Racket sports.C.Individual sports.D.Traditional sports.10.What can we infer from paragraph 5?A.Few people will play football.B.Tennis will become more popular.C.The result of this study is wrong.D.The study needs to be further improved.11.What does the author advise people to do?A.Stick to any sport that you like.B.Play badminton and tennis only.C.Stop running and playing football.D.Do any sport according to guidelines.D Firefighters in Florida this week helped rescue a bald eagle with a fishing hook
