Nothing can actually prepare you for the event when you end up inside the pure instinct(本能), the diver told Barcroft TV. Knowing in the whale39。s mouth, I tried to control my fear. But I was convinced that it was going to dive down and release me much deeper in the ocean. The whale quickly realized he was no sardine! As the whale turned sideways, he opened his mouth slightly to release me, and I was washed out, together with what felt like tons of water, of his mouth, recalled Rainer. Though the entire incident lasted just seconds, it felt like a year to Rainer. Still holding his underwater camera in his hand, the diver swam to his boat, where he was quickly rescued by the members of the team. The terrible adventure did not disturb Rainer for too long. After checking to ensure he had no injuries, the diver returned to the water to seek out more.（1）Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

In 1888 an Egyptian farmer digging in the sand near the village of Istabl Antar uncovered a mass grave. The bodies weren39。t human. They were feline — ancient cats that had been mummified(木乃伊化的) and buried in holes in astonishing numbers. Not one or two here and there, reported English Illustrated Magazine, but dozens, hundreds, hundreds of thousands, a layer of them, a layer thicker than most coal joints, ten to twenty cats deep. Some of the linenwrapped cats still looked presentable, and a few even had golden faces. Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change。 the rest were sold as fertilizer. One ship transported about 180,000, weighing some 38, 000 pounds, to Liverpool to be spread on the fields of England. Those were the days of generously funded explorations—that dragged through acres of desert in their quest for royal tombs, and for splendid gold and painted masks to decorate the estates and museums of Europe and America. The many thousands of mummified animals that turned up at religious sites throughout Egypt were just things to be cleared away to get at the good stuff. Few people studied them, and their importance was generally unrecognized. In the century since then, archaeology has bee less of a treasure hunt and more of a science. Archaeologists now realize that much of their sites39。 wealth lies in the majority of details about ordinary folks—what they did, what they thought, how they prayed. And animal mummies are a big part of that. They39。re really displays of daily life, says Egyptologist Salima Ikram. After peering beneath bandages with xrays and cataloguing her findings, she created a gallery for the collection — a bridge between people today and those of long ago. You look at these mummified animals, and suddenly you say, Oh, King SoandSo had a pet. I have a pet. And instead of being at a distance of 5,000plus years, the ancient Egyptians bee clearer and closer to us.（1）Which of the following words has the closest meaning to peddled(paragraph 1)? A.modernizedB.displayedC.illustratedD.demonstrated（2）Why was archaeology once referred to as a treasure hunt (paragraph 3)? A.In the royal tombs, there were many treasures made of silver and gold.B.Animal mummies could be made into fertilizer which is very valuable.C.It was hard to find animal mummies since they were buried under dirt.D.People sought the remains of ancient Egypt merely for their material value.（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Salima Ikram? A.She wishes to establish the continuity of pets over history.B.She believes that studying the remains can help modern society relate to the past.C.She wants to identify the King39。s personal belongings and classify them.D.She doubts if current society will understand the significance of Egyptian remains.（4）This article probably encourages the readers to _____________.
