some things you should try before you are 18.Learn to swim Seriously,this is so important that it can save your life.If you cant swim well,you wont be able to dowater sports like waterskiing,surfing

collect things that make you remember what you have done,like cinema tickets for films you have seen or letters from friends.The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection

universe.The belief fits withLoebs alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter,which won the international attention last year.Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017.It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star.Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object,called“Oumuamua”got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy.“One possibility is that Oumuamua is debris from an advanced technological equipment,”Loeb said.“Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door.”“Oumuamua is not an alien spaceship,”Paul Sutter,another scientist wrote.He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity.Most scientists think“Oumuamua”is some sort of rock.They think it could be an icy wandering comet.Loeb says that“Oumuamuas”behavior means it cant be a block of rock shaped like a long photo.He thinks its more likely an object thats very long and thin,perhaps like a long pancake or a ships sail.Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs,he will immediately give in.Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe,too-quiet scientists.“The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties,and that would give me even more time to focus on science,”Loeb says.He said he wouldnt mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.4.What does Loeb say about“Oumuamua”?A.It is an icy comet.B.It looks like a long photo.C.It is actually some sort of rock.D.It may come from another alien civilization.5.What does the underlined word“contradicts”in

Technology D.Astronomers Are Encouraging Space Travel C Music is said to be a universal language.But for Chase Burton,a deaf filmmaker fromTexas,music has always been a totally different experience.“When I was a kid,Id lie on the floor so I could feel the vibrations(震动，颤动)from my brothers band rocking out below my body,”the 33-year-old man said.“That was one of the first times I began building a relationship with music.”In 2016,his ability to experience music changed dramatically,thanks to California-based technology company Not Impossible Labs.It designed a vibrating suit that enables deaf people to“feel”music through their skin.Consisting of a body harness(背带),ankle and wrist belts,the suit translates audio into a range of vibrating pulses that are felt at 24 contact points.Burtonhas been trialing the suit for four years.“The sound hits different parts of your body,”saidBurton.“Maybe it will strikeme down in my ankles first.And then Ill start to feel the vibrations in my back.And then Ill feel some pulsations in my wrist.”The creators want to extends the tactile(触觉)musical experience beyond the deaf community.In 2018,they gave out 150 of the suits at a rock concert inLas Vegaswhere half the audience members were deaf and half were able to hear.Since then,Not Impossible Labs has been working to improve the technology and says its ready to go to market soon.Eventually,the creators want the suit to become a consumer product,accessible to all.The companys talent and business development director,Jordan Richardson,said that the technology could be used in live sports broadcasts,video games and theme parks.As a writer and director whos been working to make the movie world more accessible,Burtonhopes that the vibrating suit will be available to his film audiences in the future.He believes the suit canenhanceemotions while watching a movie for hearing as well as deaf people.“I see the tech as a real opportunity to help people understand that music for movies doesnt always need to be enjoyed through the ears”.8.Why would Chase Burton lie on the floor when he was a kid?A.To feel some pulsations in his wrist.B.To feel the vibrations from his brothers band.C.To expand the tactile musical experience.D.To begin building a bond with films.9.What do we know about Not Impossible Labs from the passage?A.It was started by Chase Burton in 2016.B.Its products have been used in live sports broadcasts.C.It is a technology company based inCalifornia.D.Its administrative director is Jordan Richardson.10.Which can replace the underlined word“enhance”in the last paragraph?A.create B.express C.cover D.strengthen 11.What is the best title for the passage?A.Vibrating Suit Allows Deaf People to“Feel”Music B.Tech Company Provides Free Suits for Deaf People C.Deaf People Enjoy Rock Music with Free Suit D.Movies Need to Be Enjoyed Through the Ears D British sculptor Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums.Over the years,the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide.On February 1,2021,Taylor launched his latest work The Underwater Museum of Cannes.The main goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,Taylor told Dezeen.Ocean ecology has been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades,and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages.They range from Maurice,an 80-year-old fisherman,to Anouk,a 9-year-old student.Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons,the faces are sectioned into two parts,with the outer part like a mask.The mask indicates that the worlds oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue,the seabed was filled with old boat engines,pipes,and other human-made trash when the project began about four years ago.Besides removing the trash,Taylor also restored the areas sea grass.Just one square meter of the sea grass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily.The sea grass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,Taylor told Dezeen.If we threw unwanted waste near a forest,there would be a public outcry.But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.12.Why does the outer part ofthe sculptures look like a mask?A.To popularize the features of the locals.B.To remind people to protect themselves.C.To reflect peoples protection of the ocean.D.To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.13.Whats paragraph 4 mainly about?A.How the project was started.B.How the sea grass was restored.C.What recovery effort the project made.D.Why the surroundings were improved.14.What can we infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph?A.The situation of the ocean is easily ignored.B.The destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.C.Forests play a more important role in ecosystems.D.People have zero tolerance to damage done to nature.15.What might be the best title for the text?A.The Underwater Museum,a long way to go.B.The Underwater Museum,a big difference to the sea.C.The Underwater Museum,an appeal to conserve ecosystems.D.The Underwater Museum,a masterpiece of Jason Taylor.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 How to Make Sure You Enjoy Your Trip A trip is a planned
