18．Seamounts are mountains，usually volcanoes，which rise up from the sea floor．Some of the volcanoes are dead，some are still active．But they are hard to fin because they do not reach the surface of the water．
Scientists say seamounts cover more of the earth's area than deserts，tundra（冻原），or any other land-based habitats．Marine life gathers at seamounts because they carry nutrient-rich water upward form the sea floor．
In September，a group of scientists set out to explore Cook Seamount．It rises almost 4，000meters from the Pacific Ocean floor about 160 kilometers off the island or Hawaii，Humans have never seen it up close before．The Associated Press went with the scientists，and provided unique images and information about this seamount and the marine life around it．
Three people went in a submarine（潜艇）down to over 900meters below the ocean surface to the top of the seamount．As the blue waters became darker，underwater creatures that glow，by chemically creating their own light，began to swim past the submarine．The scientists dove below the level where sunlight can reach．They spotted some wonders-like a rare octopus（章鱼）with big fins that look like elephant ears．One even changed colors as it swam by the submarine．
Cook seamount is an extinct volcano，which means it is not active anymore．It is part of a group or undersea volcanoes known as the Geologist Seamounts，that are about 80 million years old and could hold many new animal species．They could also contain elements such as nickel and cobalt that mining companies could extract．

32．Why dose ocean life like gathering at seamounts？B
A．Because seamounts can protect them from being attacked．
B．Because there is plenty of food to feed．
C．Because there is plenty of air to breathe．
D．Because the rising water can bring them to ocean surface．
33．Form the fourth paragraph，we can infer thatD．
A．the deeper the ocean is，the bluer it is
B．the deeper the ocean is，the more sea creatures there are
C．octopuses live in the deep ocean where there id little sunlight
D．octopuses live in the deep ocean where there is little sunlight
34．What dose the underlined word"extinct"in paragraph 5 probably mean？C
A．positive
B．negative
C．dead
D．endangered
35．What passage is most likely taken fromB．
A．an adventure diary

17．Because，like most of you，I began college in my teens，but the second year，I was offered my dream job at Universal Studios，so I dropped out．
Well，I left college because I knew exactly what I wanted to do，and some of you know，too-but some of you don't．Or maybe you thought you knew but are now questioning that choice．Maybe you're sitting there trying to figure out how to tell your parents that you want to be a doctor and not a comedy writer．
I told my parents if my movie career didn't go well，I'd re-enroll．It went all right．But eventually，I returned for one big reason．
Most people go to college for an education，and some go for their parents，but I went for my kids．I'm the father of seven，and I Kept insisting on the importance of going to college，but I hadn't walked the walk．So，in my fifties，I re-enrolled at Cal State-Long Beach，and I earned my degree．
Well，what you choose to do next is what we call in the movies the'character-defining moment．'
Life is one strong，long string of character-defining moments．And I was lucky that at 18I knew what I exactly wanted to do．But I didn't know who I was．How could I？And how could any of us？Because for the first 25years of our lives，we are trained to listen to voices that are not our own．Parents and professors fill our heads with wisdom and information，and then employers and mentors （有经验的顾问）take their place and explain how this world really works．
And I want to be clear that your intuition（直觉） is different from your conscience．They work together，but here's the distinction：Your conscience shouts，"here's what you should do，"while your intuition whispers，"here's what you could do．"Listen to that voice that tells you what you could do．Nothing will define your character more than that．

29．The author went to college in his fifties in order toC．
A．get an educational degree
B．go for his parents
C．give hid children an example
D．earn a good reputation
30．According to the author's view，what should we mainly follow when we choose our career？B
A．Our parents'advice．
B．Our own intuition．
C．Our conscience．
D．Our teachers'advice
31．What's the right order of the events in the speech？C
①Took his job    ②Got married and had children
③Graduated from college  ④Dropped out of children
A．④③①②
B．④③②①
C．④①②③
D．④②①③

12．Both  the British  and Americans  like  playing  football．However，they play it quite（61）differently（different）．For most Americans，British football，also（62）known（know） as soccer is a bit dull and boring．
American football is not like soccer．The ball is not round．It is like a big egg．Each team（63）is made  （make） up of eleven players．All the players can touch the ball with both（64）feet（foot） and hands．Players sometimes kick the ball（65）but   they often throw the ball and run with it．If they can move it across the opposing team's goal line，they can get six points，（66）which   is called a touchdown．
（67）It   is not easy to move  the ball．Eleven men in the  opposing team  do all they can   （68）to stop（stop） the man with the ball．If he（69）fails（fail） to move the ball ten yards，his team will have to kick the ball to the opposing team．

But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement．Business people，political leaders，university professors，and especially millions of grassroots Americans are taking part in the movement．"The understanding has increased many，many times，"says Gaylord Nelson，the former governor from Wisconsin，who thought up the first Earth Day．
According to US government reports，emissions from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3million tons a year to 5.5 million tons．The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9．Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with，the world is a safer and healthier place．A kind of"green thinking"has become part of practices．
Great improvement has been achieved．In 1988there were only 600 recycling programs； today in 1995there are about 6，600．Advanced lights，motors，and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution．
Twentyfive years ago，there were hardly any education programs for environment．Today，it's hard to find a public school，university，or law school that does not have such a kind of program．"Until we do that，nothing else will change！"says Bruce Anderson．
