阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

When a Swedish ship that sank in 1628 was recovered from the port of Stockholm, historians and scientists were overjoyed with the chance to examine the remains of the past. The ship construction showed how ships were built and operated during the seventeenth century. In this way, artifacts, objects made by human beings, provided a picture of daily life almost 400 years ago.

??Underwater archaeology-the study of ships, aircraft and human settlements that have sunk under large bodies of water-is really a product of the last 50 years. The rapid growth of this new area of study has occurred because of the invention of better diving equipment .Besides the Swedish ship wreck(残骸），underwater archaeologists have made more exciting discoveries such as the 5000-year-old boats in the Mediterranean Sea.

? ?Underwater archaeology can provide facts about the past. In ancient ports all over the world are ships sunken in the past 6,000 years. There are also sunken settlements in seas and lakes telling of people’s way of life and their systems of trade in ancient times. Underwater archaeologists want to study these objects to add to the world's knowledge of history, but they have to fight two enemies. One enemy is treasure hunters who dive for ancient artifacts that they can sell to collectors. Once sold, these objects are lost to experts. The second enemy is dredging machines(挖掘机）often used to repair ports. These machines destroy wrecks and artifacts or bury them deeper under sand and mud. By teaching the public about the importance of underwater “museums” of the past, archaeologists are hoping to get support for laws to protect underwater treasures.31.What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage????? A.To provide background information of the topic???? B.To attract readers' attention to the topic???? C.To use an example to support the topic???? D.To offer basic knowledge of the topic 32.The aim of underwater archaeology is to??_____. ????A. exploit water bodies B. search for underwater life????C. study underwater artifacts D. examine underwater environment?33.Underwater archaeologists are worried because_____.????A.sea hunters have better diving equipment????B.their knowledge of world history is limited???? C.dredging machines cause damage to the ports???? D.sold artifacts can hardly be regained for research

34.What is the main purpose of the passage????? A.To introduce a young branch of learning.???? B.To discuss the scientists’ problems.???? C.To explain people’s way of life in the past.???? D.To describe the sunken ships.

B

Instead of hitting the beach, fourteen high school students traded swimming suits for lab coats last summer and turned their attention to scientific experiments.???? The High School Research Program offers high school students guidance with researchers in Texas A&M’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Jennifer Funkhouser, academic adviser for the Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management, directs this four-week summer program designed to increase understanding of research and its career potential.????Several considerations go into selecting students, including grades, school involvement and interest in science and agriculture. And many students come from poorer school districts, Funkhouser says, “This is their chance to learn techniques and do experiments they never would have a chance to do in high school.”????Warner Ervin of Houston is interested in animal science and learned how to tell male from female mosquitoes(蚊子）.His adviser, Craig Coates, studies the genes of mosquitoes that allow them to fight against malaria and yellow fever. Coates thought this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.???????The agricultural research at A&M differs from stereotypes. It’s “molecular(分子）science on the cutting edge,” Funkhouser says. The program broadened students’ knowledge. Victor Garcia of Rio Grande City hopes to become a biology teacher and says he learned a lot about chemistry from the program.???? At the end of the program, the students presented papers on their research. They’re also paid $600 for their work-another way this program differs from others, which often charge a fee.???? Fourteen students got paid to learn that science is fun, that agriculture is a lot more than milking and plowing and that research can open many doors.?35.The research program is chiefly designed for? _______.??? ?A. high school advisers from Houston???? B. college students majoring in agriculture???? C. high school students from different places???? D. researchers at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences?36.It can be inferred from the text that the students in poorer areas? ___________ .??? A. had little chance to go to college??? B. could often take part in the program???? C. found the program useful to their future????D. showed much interest in their high school experiments

37.When the program wa
