Approximately l,250 km long, the Red Sea coast of Egypt is surely one of the best places in the world to go underwater diving. 1.？ Its hot sunny climate and clear warm water make it the ideal place for beginners as well as for experienced divers, at any time of the year.

With over fifty diving centres in the area, many different types of diving are possible. At centres for complete beginners, there are many training courses designed for them.2..　 These dives get the rookie(新手)divers used to being underwater and teach some basic skills such as swimming and breathing below the surface.

More experienced divers can choose from a vast range of possible activities. Many of these can be enjoyed either as part of a group or, if they prefer, alone. Some like to explore the coast of the National Park, where the steep cliffs(悬崖)extend underwater to a depth of more than seventy metres.3.,for dives of this kind, divers are advised to be accompanied by a guide. An experienced guide can help the divers escape the danger before it approaches.

For really advanced divers, there are some fascinating wrecks(失事船只)at the bottom of the Red Sea.4. ,it is well worth going just to see the huge variety of beautiful plants and fish down there.　 However, divers do need to be aware that one kick in the wrong direction can cause a“storm" of fine dark silt(淤泥)which can be virtually blinding.　　 5..However, divers are forbidden to touch anything or attempt to move any artworks.

A. If you are a more experienced diver

B. How well does it live up to its reputation

C. Where is exactly this truly wonderful diving place

D. As the strong currents can suddenly change direction

E. They all include simple dives with a qualified instructor

F. Although visits to these old ships require quite long boat trips

G. Also, some of the sites have artworks lying in the ships or on the sandy bottom

The long, lonely voyage of the Japanese ghost ship is over.

A US Coast Guard cutter poured cannon fire into an abandoned Japanese ghost ship that had been drifting since last year’s tsunami (海啸), sinking the vessel into waters more than 305 meters deep in the Gulf of Alaska and removing the danger it posed to shipping and the coastline on Thursday.

The cutter’s guns tore holes in the 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru, and then it began to take on water and lean to one side. In about four hours, the ship disappeared into the sea, said Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow.

The ship had no lights or communications system, and its tank was able to carry more than 7,570 liters of diesel fuel. Officials, however, didn’t know exactly how much fuel was aboard.

“It’s less risky than it would be running into shore or running into other ships,” coast guard spokesman Paul Webb said.

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it is safer to sink the ship than let the fuel evaporate and pollute the sea environment.

Ryou-Un Maru was probably among the first wave of the 1.5 million tons of garbage of refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, roofs and fishing nets heading toward North America since last March when a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck Japan.

As the coast guard was ready to fire on the vessel, a Canadian fishing vessel, the 19-meter Bernice C, claimed the rights to save the ghost ship in international waters.

Plans to sink it were paused so the Canadian crew could have a chance to take the stricken ship. A Canadian official with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press that the Bernice C was unable to drag it.

Then the Canadian boat left, and once it was about 10 kilometers from the Japanese vessel, the Coast Guard began to fire, first with 25 mm shells, then a few hours later with ammunition (弹药)twice that size.

State officials have been working to test the danger of garbage including materials affected by a damaged nuclear power plant, to see if Alaska residents, seafood or wild animals could be affected.

1.The plan to fire on the Japanese ghost ship was paused because ____________.

A．the ghost ship was beyond the reach of the Coast Guard’s guns

B．state officials worried the ghost ship might give out radiation

C．the shells were not powerful enough to sink the ghost ship

D．a Canadian fishing boat wanted to save the ghost ship

2.What’s the right order of the events related to the ship of Ryou-Un Maru?

a. Its long, lonely voyage came to an end.

b. The US Coast Guard sank it into the sea.

c. The ship began to float across the Pacific Ocean.

d. A big tsunami was caused by great earthquakes.

e. Bernice C claimed rights to save the ghost ship.

A．d, c, e, b, a         B．a, b, d, c, e         C．c, e, d, a, b         D．b, a, d, c, e

3.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A．Japanese ghost ship arriving at US

B．Tsunami garbage heading to US

C．Japanese ghost ship polluting the Pacific

D．Cannon fire sinking Japanese ghost ship
