The sculptures were placed within three galleries of MUSA.The Punta Nizuc Gallery is about 4 meters deep with 33 sculptures.It is closest to most of Cancun's hotels.The Machones Gallery is about 8 meters deep with around 470 sculptures.But only divers can get into this gallery and find the most wellknown sculptures in MUSA.There's also a third gallery called the Punta Sam Gallery.And it's as deep as the Punta Nizuc Gallery. Visitors can enjoy the art show and get close to local sea life as they swim or dive around the museum.The diving tours cost between 90 and 160 per person.If you don't want to get wet，you can still visit the underwater museumjust book a glass boat tour，for only 47 per person.No matter which gallery you choose，you can get an eyeful on your trip to MUSA.（1）What's the purpose of building such an underwater museum？ A.To show visitors different sculptures.B.To hold an unusual and popular public art show.C.To help protect the environment especially local sea life.D.To become the largest museum of its kind anywhere on earth.（2）Which of the following is NOT true？ A.The Punta Sam Gallery lies the deepest among the three galleries.B.The sculptures in MUSA provide home for different kinds of plants and sea animals.C.The sculptures in MUSA play a very important role in the underwater environment.D.The Punta Nizuc Gallry is much closer to most of Cancun's hotels than any other gallery in MUSA.（3）Visitors get close to local sea life by .a.taking a diving tourb.having a glass boat tourc.booking one of Cancun' s hotelsd.swimming around the museumA.a.b.c.B.a.b.d.C.a.c.d.D.b.c.d.20（3分）Lessons from China on increasing forest cover Forests are the provider of many necessary products and play a key role in providing clean air，preventing climate change and conserving biodiversity.As deforestation and forest degradation continue across much of AsiaPacific，a paper by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations （FAO） shows how China has "seen a phenomenal transformation of forests in the last thirty years". China has taken active steps in increasing its forest cover.In the past thirty years，China has successfully stopped the loss of forests and even managed to reverse the trend.Such "forest transformation" is also evident in other countries within the region such as India，Japan，South Korea and Vietnam. However，China's efforts are worthy of mention.It has increased its forest cover from about 157 million hectares in 1990 to about 220 million hectares in 2020.Reforestation there has been the highest among the 236 countries and regions covered by FAO's paper. The increase in China's forest cover arises from two factors planted forest areas and naturally regenerated forests.Between 1990 and 2020，planted forests increased by over 40 million hectares，while naturally regenerated forests increased by 22 million hectares. Lots of treeplanting programs have ensured the growth of trees in China.Under China's Grain for Green program starting in 1999，China has successfully transformed 33.5 million hectares of croplands into tree or grass cover. China has also invested heavily in research and development in science and technology.This has had direct and indirect impact on the forest industry.China started a threestage forest development strategy in 2010，focusing on using digital technology to monitor，revive and develop forest areas. And China has also made a great effort to improve the forest ecosystem and its resilience to climate change.China has achieved this by increasing public awareness，building national parks and running various reforestation programs. According to Jong Jin Kim，Assistant DirectorGeneral and FAO Regional Representative for Asia and the Pacific， "such a transformation is a result of several factors，including the rise of China as an industrial economy，clear and consistent policies，investment in key forestry programs，and the development of science and technology."（1）What does "forest transformation" refer to in paragraph 2？ A.China has taken active steps in increasing its croplands.B.It is evident in other countries such as India，Japan，South Korea and Vietnam.C.China has invested heavily in research and development in science and technology.D.China has successfully stopped the loss of forests and even managed to change the trend completely in the past thirty years.（2）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？ A.China has improved the forest ecosystem only by increasing public awar
