20.A new species of snailfish was found at a record breaking depth of 8,145meters.It was found at the bottom of the Mariana Trench(海沟),the deepest site on earth.The new species was recorded at a depth of 8,145meters.It broke the former depth record,set in 2008,by nearly 500meters."This really deep-sea fish does not look like anything we have seen before,and nor does it look like anything we know of,"Alan Jamieson from the University of Aberdeen said."It is unbelievably easy to be damaged,with large wing-like fins (鳍)and a head looking like a cartoon dog."
The Mariana Trench sits nearly 11,000meters below sea level in the Pacific Ocean.There very few large animals are found.It's too cold and dark for most fish.However,new robotic technology is allowing researchers to explore this extreme environment,which has been long thought too bad for any life to exist.Along with the new species of snailfish,researchers filmed several other rarely seen creatures.They include super giant amphipods.They can measure a foot or more in length and are often referred to as the uinsects of the sea".
Larger animals,like rattails and cusk-eels,live in shallower waters of 5,000to 6,500meters.Super giant amphipods live at mid-depths of 6,500to 8,000meters.The newly found snailfish lives at depms greater than 8,000meters.
In 2012,director James Cameron became the first person to visit the bottom of the trench in more than 50years.A year later,scientists published research showing that the trench has many microbes(微生物)that are able to survive on the remains of dead animals,water plants,and other microbes that float down the trench slopes (斜坡).
32.What can we know about Snailfish according Paragraph 2?A
A.It doesn't look like any commonly seen species.
B.It can easily survive in a new environment.
C.It likes travelling at different depths underwater.
D.It has very beautiful appearance.
33.Whichofthe following animals live in the shallowest water according to the passage?A
A.Rattails and cusk-eels.
B.Super giant amphipods.
C.The newly found snailfish.
D.Largest animals,
34.What was the result of the scientist's research about the trench in 2013?D
A.There were many dead animals there.
B.James Cameron was the first to Teach there.
C.Life hardly survives there,
D.There was life down there.
35.What's the main idea of the passage?A
A.Researchers discovered life in the deepest ocean.
B.A new species of snailfish was found at the deepest site on earth.
C.Animals are able to the remains of dead animals in the sea.
D.The bottom of the Mariana IVeneh was the deepest site on earth.

解答 32-35.AADA
32题答案:A考查细节推理,根据文章中的This really deep-sea fish does not look like anything we have seen before,and nor does it look like anything we know of这种深海鱼不像我们之前看过的任何东西,也不像我们所知道的任何东西.可知本题答案为A选项.
33题答案:A考查细节推理,根据文章第二段的Larger animals,like rattails and cusk-eels,live in shallower waters of 5,000to 6,500meters.Super giant amphipods live at mid-depths of 6,500to 8,000meters.The newly found snailfish lives at depms greater than 8,000meters.诸如rattails 和 cusk-eels一样大一点的动物生活在5000-6500的浅水,超大的端足类生活在6500-8000米的中等深度,新发现的蜗牛鱼生活在8000米以下.以及倒数第三段的They include super giant amphipods.They can measure a foot or more in length and are often referred to as the uinsects of the sea".他们包括超大的端足类动物,它们的长度可以超过一英尺而且通常被认为是海中最大的昆虫.可知A选项的动物生活在最浅处,故本题答案为A选项.
34题答案:D考查细节推理,根据文章最后一段的A year later,scientists published research showing that the trench has many microbes(微生物)that are able to survive on the remains of dead animal一年后,科学家发表的研究表明沟渠里含有很多微生物--这些微生物能够靠动物的死尸残留物生存.可知本题答案为D选项.
35题答案:A考查主旨大意,本文主要讲的是研究者在海洋的最深处发现了生命(注意B选项只是其中的一个发现,太片面),故本题答案为A选项.
