his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating学科网（北京）股份有限公司underwater museums.Over the years,the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwaterworldwide.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.“Oceanecologies have been destroyed by human activities in the Mediterranean over the past few decades,and it is notobvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.”The Underwater Museum of Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages.Theyrange from Maurice,an 80-year-old fisherman,to Anouk,a 9-year-old student.Towering over 6-foot-tall andweighing 10 tons,the faces are sectioned into two parts,with the outer part like a mask.The mask indicates thatthe worlds oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremelyfragile to careless human activities.Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine(extremely clean)blue,the seabed wasfilled 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 seagrass.Just one square meter of the seagrass cangenerate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion（侵蚀）and provideshabitats for many ocean creatures.“The idea of creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense ofcare and protection,”Taylor told Dezeen.“If we threw unwanted waste near a forest,there would be a publicoutcry.But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.”24.What are the underwater museums intended to do?A.To make huge profits.B.To show Jason Taylors talent.C.To raise awareness of protecting the ocean.D.To draw attention to endangered sea animals.25.Why does the outer part of the sculptures look like a mask?A.To indicate the power of oceans.B.To remind people to protect themselves.C.To popularize the features of the locals.D.To stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.26.Whats Paragraph 4 mainly about?A.How the project was started.B.How the seagrass was restored.C.What recovery effort the project made.D.Why the surroundings were improved.27.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 less tolerance to damage done to forests.CAs a young child,I was painfully shy.Id watch other children play in the park,wishing I could join them,学科网（北京）股份有限公司but I was too scared to approach.Eventually,my mother would come to the rescue.Shed ask the other kids if Icould play,too.Today,I feel comfortable giving public lectures in large halls and having conversations in smallgroups,but I still tend to avoid situations in which Im expected to spend time with a roomful of strangers.There could be many reasons.For one thing,I might be carrying some childhood fear of rejection.Butbeyond that possibility,one likely element is that I tend to underestimate how much people like me after I meetthem,as most of us do.A new research paper reports that the common concern that new people may not like us,or that they may notenjoy our company,is largely unfounded.Erica Boothby of Cornell University and her colleagues conducted a series of studies to find out what ourconversation partners really think of us.In doing so,they discovered a new cognitive illusion（认知错觉）they call“the liking gap”：our failure to realize how much strangers appreciate our company after a bit of conversation.The researchers observed the gap in a variety of situations:strangers getting acquainted in the researchlaboratory,first-year college students getting to know their dormitory mates over the course of many months,andcommunity members meeting fellow participants in personal development workshops.In each circumstance,people consistently underestimated how much others liked them.For much of the academic year,as dormitorymates got to know each other and even started to develop enduring friendships,the liking gap persisted.The data also revealed some of the potential reasons for the illusion:we are often more severe with ourselvesthan with others,and our inner critic prevents us from appreciating how positively other people evaluate us.Notknowing what our conversation partners really think of us，we use our own thoughts as a proxy（代理人）.Thisis a mistake,because our thoughts tend to be more negative than reality.28.Why does the author mention his childhood experience?A.To show how his character changed.B.To explain what he was like when he was young.C.To show an example of why people are shy of communication.D.To emphasize the important role of a mother in ones childhood.29.What does the underlined word“unfounded”probably mean?A.Careless.B.BaselessC.Selfless.D.Meaningless.30.What do we know about the liking gap from the text?A.It indicates what strangers really think of us.B.It begins and ends quickly among strangers.C.It disappears when strangers get to know each other.D.It states our misunderstanding of how much others like us.31.Which of the following is the best title for this text?A.People Like You More than You KnowB.How to GetAlong Well with StrangersC.The Way to Know What Others Think of UsD.Having Conversations with Strangers Benefits UsDThe deep-sea oil and gas industry has vast and costly facilities to maintain.Wells,other equipment,andthousands of kilometers of pipelines must be inspected and repaired.学科网（北京）股份有限公司Now，cutting-edge underwater drones（无人机）and robots are being developed that could make the worksafer and cheaper.Among them is Eelume,a six-meter-long,snake-like robot equipped with sensors and a cameraat each end.It can be kept at a station at depths of up to half a kilometer for six months,without being broughtback to the surface.The robot can travel up to 20 kilometers before needing to return to its station to recharge.Maintenance work at many deep-water wells and pipeline systems is already carried out by unmannedvehicles.But these vehicles typically need to be transported to the offshore site on a fully crewed ship and thenremotely operated from onboard the surface ship.That can cost up to$100,000 per day,according to Pl Liljebck,chief technology officer with Eelume Subsea Intervention,which developed the robot.Liljebck says that by“enabling the robot to become a subsea resident living at a station,it can be mobilized at any time to doinspections,thereby reducing the need for costly surface ships”.Eelume can work autonomously on tasks assigned from a control room onshore,and send back video anddata.Its snake-like design allows it to work in small spaces and wriggle（扭动）its body to stay in place in strongcurrents.By staying under the sea，it can carry out tasks whatever the conditions on the surface of the ocean.The global underwater robotics market is expected to be worth around$7 billion in 2025,according toanalysts,and other companies are in the process of commercializing new deep-sea drone and robot technology.Eelume Subsea Intervention will carry out final testing on the seabed later this year at the sgard oil and gas field.It expects to put its first snake robots into use next year and hopes to have up to 50 in oceans around the world by2027.32.What is one feature of Eelume?A.It can travel nearly 40 kilometers before recharging.B.It can dive as deep as 500 meters.C.It works mainly around the station.D.It works for 6 months on one charge.33.What is the problem with unmanned vehicles?A.They are too costly to maintain.B.They are hard to operate remotely.C.They require transportation to and from work.D.They have to work on a fully crewed ship all the time.34.What can be expected of Eelume in the future?A.It will require no further tests.B.It will be worth around$7 billion.C.It will be put on the market in 2027.D.It will face a lot of competitors.35.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Asnake robot is on its way for underwater tasks.B.Eelume is the new choice for constructing pipelines.C.Maintenance work on the ocean floor is a risky job.D.Unmanned vehicles marketing has seen strong growth.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5
