When a Swedish ship that sank in 1628 was recovered from the port of Stockholm, historians and scientists were overjoyed with the chance to examine the remains of the past. The ship construction showed how ships were built and operated during the seventeenth century. In this way, artifacts, objects made by human beings, provided a picture of daily life almost 400 years ago.

Underwater archaeology-the study of ships, aircraft and human settlements that have sunk under large bodies of water-is really a product of the last 50 years. The rapid growth of this new area of study has occurred because of the invention of better diving equipment .Besides the Swedish ship wreck(残骸），underwater archaeologists have made more exciting discoveries such as the 5000-year-old boats in the Mediterranean Sea.

Underwater archaeology can provide facts about the past. In ancient ports all over the world are ships sunken in the past 6,000 years. There are also sunken settlements in seas and lakes telling of people’s way of life and their systems of trade in ancient times. Underwater archaeologists want to study these objects to add to the world's knowledge of history, but they have to fight two enemies. One enemy is treasure hunters who dive for ancient artifacts that they can sell to collectors. Once sold, these objects are lost to experts. The second enemy is dredging machines(挖掘机）often used to repair ports. These machines destroy wrecks and artifacts or bury them deeper under sand and mud. By teaching the public about the importance of underwater “museums” of the past, archaeologists are hoping to get support for laws to protect underwater treasures.

1.What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage?

A.To provide background information of the topic

B.To attract readers' attention to the topic

D.To offer basic knowledge of the topic

2.The aim of underwater archaeology is to  _____.

A. exploit water bodies      B. search for underwater life

C. study underwater artifacts     D. examine underwater environment

3.Underwater archaeologists are worried because_____.

A.sea hunters have better diving equipment

B.their knowledge of world history is limited

C.dredging machines cause damage to the ports

D.sold artifacts can hardly be regained for research

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To introduce a young branch of learning.

B.To discuss the scientists’ problems.

C.To explain people’s way of life in the past.

D.To describe the sunken ships.

The Amazing Penguin Rescue

The summer of 2016, the ship MV Treasure sunk, creating an oil spill. Thirteen hundred tons of fuel oil were flowing right in the middle of the African Penguins’ habitat. Soon the oil covered about 20,000 penguins. Without swift help, the seabirds would have no chance for survival. Volunteers were showing up by the thousands and I also took part in what was the largest animal rescue operation ever.

A warehouse was turned into a rescue center near the habitat and hundreds of pools were built to hold about 100 oiled birds each. When walking into the center, I couldn’t believe my ears. I had expected to walk into a chorus of honking and squawking(叫声). Instead, the center sounded like a library. The penguins were dead silent. My heart ached for the painful birds. Cleaning them all seemed like an impossible task. But we had to carry on like doctors in an emergency room. There was no time for doubt. Cleaning oil off a penguin wasn’t easy. Even with more than 12,500 volunteers, it took a month to bathe all 20,000 birds at the center.

While volunteers were busy bathing the oiled penguins, another crisis (危机) was developing. Oil from the spill had started moving north. Tens of thousands of penguins were in the oil’s path. But we already had our hands full with 20,000 recovering birds. If any more birds were oiled, we wouldn’t have enough resources to save them.

One researcher came up with an idea: What if the penguins were temporarily moved out of harm’s way? Experts decided to have a try. Volunteers rounded up the penguins and released them 500 miles away. The hope was that by the time the seabirds swam home, the oil would be gone. The plan worked! Another 20,000 penguins were saved.

The entire penguin rescue took about three months. More than 90% of the oiled penguins were successfully returned to the wild. Looking back on the rescue, I am still amazed by the work of the volunteers. What I could hardly believe was that we accomplished an impossible task.

1.The African penguins were in danger because of ________.

A. a knock by a ship　　 B. a spill of oil

C. a change of habitats　　 D. a lack of help

2.When walking into the rescue center, the author felt ________.

A. ambitious　　 B. hopeless

C. shocked　　 D. inspired

3.The crisis was ended by ________.

A. stopping the flow of the oil

B. cleaning the polluted habitat

C. asking more volunteers to help

D. moving the penguins from home

4.The author mainly intends to tell us that ________.

A. many hands make great work

B. where there is a will there is a way

C. the future of wildlife is in our hands

D. unite to make the earth pollution-free
