swim past the submarine. The scientists found several kinds of deep sea corals(珊瑚虫) on the seamount’s sides. These included a possible new species of coral they named “Purple Haze”.

Conservation International and the University of Hawaii worked together for the trip to Cook Seamount. Greg Stone, the lead scientist, said, “This three-day research is the start of an effort to survey seamounts throughout the Pacific Ocean over the next five years. And we hope to study a total of 50 seamounts.” He said humans have little knowledge about seamounts, but they are a “key part” of what drives the ocean. Stone said he wanted to find out what is living on the seamounts and how they support ocean life. From that, he says, we will understand ocean health, which relates directly to human health.”

M. Sanjayan is Executive Vice President of Conversation International. He said there were 10,000, maybe 100,000 seamounts across the world’s oceans and because most had not been explored, he expected they would see things new to science.

One of the other two seamounts studied on their trip was Lo’ihi, an active volcano, which has been studied over the past 30 years. The scientists saw an “old friend” on it—a shark they had seen there before. Scientists say volcanic activity of Lo’ ihi pushes the seamount upward. But do not look for it to break the surface of the water any time soon.

33. Why is it difficult to find seamounts?

A. Because there are too few seamounts. B. Because they can’t be seen above the seas. C. Because it’s dangerous to get close to seamounts. D. Because many seamounts are not high. 34. According to Greg Stone, _______.

A. They will study 10 seamounts every year

B. Their survey aims at 50 seamounts around the world

C. They know little about how seanounts influence the ocean

D. They want to find out how ocean health relates to human health 35. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Undersea creatures and seamounts B. New discoveries under the ocean C. Scientist surveyed the creatures in the sea D. Scientists explored seamounts 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Fun doesn’t have to be expensive

Everyone likes to have fun, but not everyone has much money to spend. Here are some free or cheap ways to enjoy yourself.

Get outside

Going outside in good weather can be a lot of fun, especially if you go with a friend. 36 If you live in a city, you can go window-shopping. Or you can explore an old part of town and admire the buildings.

Try a hobby

While you’re out, take pictures of things you find. Planning and taking pictures can make you aware of the beauty all around you. Photographic equipment can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. You probably already own a camera or a cell phone that can take pictures. Other creative hobbies can also be done with basic materials. 37 Find an event

Libraries often hold free public events. 38 And while you’re there, borrow a book or movie for free. Museums and universities also hold free events.

5 / 8

If you can’t find a free event, you can volunteer at an event that requires tickets. People who organize concerts and plays need help. 39 Sometimes they reward volunteers with free tickets. Meet a friend

Relationships are often the best things in life. 40 Invite a friend for a walk, an event or a time working on your hobby. Hosting doesn’t have to be difficult. If your friend comes in the afternoon, you don’t have to serve a meal. You can sit and talk, play board games or card games or watch a movie.

A. A friend in need is a friend indeed

B. Stop by one to find out what’s going on. C. Hike or bicycle on a nearby path or in a park D. Whatever you do, find someone to share it with. E. It’s a good idea to stay at home to watch a movie F. You could set up or take down chairs or greet visitors.

G. Drawing and writing require nothing more than a pencil and paper. 第三部分: 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45分）

I hear you are hesitating whether you will stay in America or go back to China after graduation. So I’d like to give you some advice.

I suggest you come back home after graduation. Firstly, it is not easy to make a life in the US, especially for a graduate, and you should work hard to live on well in a big developed country. Besides, if there is something bad that occurs to you all of a sudden, you have few family or friends to support you in a foreign country. What’s more, our country has been developing a lot and is in need of qualified people apparently. I believe you will have a bright future in China with what you learn in the US.

In a word, both our country and we welcome you to come back. Yours, Wang Wei
