【正文】 To examine creatures of the explored ocean.（2）What mainly caused the start of the search in the sea? A.To study unexplored places of the ocean.B. The objects recovered from the bottom of the sea likely came from the recent explosion for two main reasons. First, meteorite particles are basically made of glassy materials that do not tend to last long in seawater. Secondly, they came from what looked like a small hole on the seafloor. Some evidence shows that they came from something that fell.（1）What is the current goal of the crew of the Ocean Exploration Trust? A. The search was launched after US government weather stations observed a large meteorite exploding some months ago. The explosion lit up the sky and sent the rock particles to the earth. The meteorite fall was the largest recorded over the United States in at least 20years. The team includes scientists from NASA, the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and the University of Washington. The scientists examined what they believe were two small meteorite fragments. Further testing is needed before they can confirm that the material came from the explosion. Scientists have found what they believe are pieces of a meteor(流星)that fell to the earth last year. The objects were discovered off the coast of the United States in the Pacific Ocean. 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。 （4）考查主旨大意。實(shí)驗(yàn)?zāi)康氖强纯带B類的視角是否能提供幫助。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“It seemed that the strikingly iridescent surfaces on our targets visually broke up the otherwise recognizable shape of the targets, which made them hard to distinguish.”似乎我們的目標(biāo)上驚人的彩虹表面在視覺上打破了原本可以辨認(rèn)的目標(biāo)形狀，這使得它們很難區(qū)分。t a new one.”引人注目的顏色可以用來偽裝，這種想法并不新鮮，排除C，故選D。catching colors could be used as a cover173。根據(jù)第一段中的“A good disguise keeps you hidden, right?

Karin Kjernsmo of the University of Bristol adds that in some cases the showy splashes of light are a sexual strategy. Here I would like to point out that in some species, particularly those that display strong sexual dimorphism(雌雄兩性), such as birds of paradise or some butterflies or fishes, the occurrence of iridescence is most likely driven by sexual selection. For example, in many of these cases it is the males that have these vivid iridescent colors and they use them in mate choice or they use them as a signal to attract mates.

David Strayer, a psychologist at the University of Utah, showed as much with a group of participants, who performed 50 percent better on creative problemsolving tasks after three days of wilderness backpacking. Another experiment conducted by psychologist Stephen Kaplan found that people who took a 50minute walk in a park had better attention and shortterm memory than those who took a walk along a city street.t think of being outdoors as a way to increase happiness, says Nisbet. We think other things will, like shopping or TV. But South Korea is starting to challenge this opinion. There is increasing evidence that being outside in a pleasant natural environment is good for us. But how many of us get to enjoy nature regularly? Fewer and fewer, it seems. According to Lisa Nisbet, a psychology professor at Canada s Trent University, evidence for the benefits of nature is pouring in at a time when we are most disconnected from it. the firefighters all have posttraumatic stress disorder (創(chuàng)傷后應(yīng)激障礙). 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案?？芍?，作者對(duì)可折疊屏幕的未來持的態(tài)度是積極的。根據(jù)最后一段中的“But if the foldable device isn39。故選D。這是一個(gè)很少有人能負(fù)擔(dān)得起的價(jià)格。s a price that few people will be able to afford.”然而，目前這些可折疊設(shè)備價(jià)格昂貴。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。丹尼森的話中了解到“可折疊屏幕”具有很大的潛力?！斑@是一塊空白的畫布，我們可以一起做一些美好的事情。根據(jù)第五段中的“Justin Denison, c
