Ned wanted to escape (逃跑) from the Nautilus while we were in the Mediterranean. However, he had no chance. The submarine (潜水艇) mostly stayed deep under the water.

Between Sicily and Gibraltar, I saw many shipwrecks. Some of them were very old. Others were more recent. I thought about all the bad memories that these shipwrecks had brought to people. So many men had died! As it surfaced, I wondered where it would go next on this strange journey.

Ned Land came to my room. “Tonight!” he said. “Tonight?” I was not ready for this. “Tonight,” he repeated, “we are a few miles off the Spanish coast. It will be dark, and the wind is blowing in the right direction. You agreed, Dr. Aronnax, to escape with me. Remember your promise!” I said nothing. “At nine o’clock,” continued Ned Land, “I will go to the staircase with Conseil. You will wait in the library for our signal.” “The sea is far from calm,” I said. “Yes, but if we don’t go tonight, we will soon be too far from land!” I knew he was right.

At seven o’clock, I was so nervous that I felt sick. Only two hours to go! As I looked around, I saw that Captain Nemo’s bedroom door was open. The room was empty. I saw pictures of famous liberators like Abraham Lincoln and John Brown on the walls. Was Captain Nemo a liberator, too?

It was eight o’clock. I dressed in my waterproof clothes and boots and went to the dark library. I waited for Ned’s signal. Just then, the engines stopped and came to rest on the ocean floor.

The library door opened, and Captain Nemo entered. He told me that we were in Vigo Bay. A Spanish commander had burned his own ships there in 1702 to prevent the British Navy from taking a great deal of gold they were carrying. He took me to the window. The people working on the Nautilus were bringing the gold to the submarine. Now, I knew how Captain Nemo had become so rich.

“But of what use is all this gold to you?” I asked.

“It is of no use to me!” he replied, “but it can help people who are oppressed ( 受 压 迫 的 ).” He stopped. Perhaps he thought he had said too much. However, I now understood what those liberators meant to him.

Ned Land came to my room the next morning. “We were unlucky,” he said, “the Nautilus stopped just as we were about to escape. Perhaps we can try again tonight.” Early in the afternoon, the Nautilus surfaced. We went onto the board, but the land was already out of sight. Escape was impossible now.

1.According to the passage, a “liberator” is a person who _______.

A.works as a national leader B.works to free others

C.works to find hidden treasure D.works in the library

2.Which of the following shows the right order of the story?

①The submarine passed many shipwrecks.

②The Nautilus moved away from Spanish coast.

③Captain Nemo knew the secret of the gold in Vigo Bay.

④Ned told Dr. Aronnax about the plan to escape.

A.③①④② B.①④③② C.③①②④ D.①④②③

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Captain Nemo helped people by getting gold from a Spanish commander.

B.Dr. Aronnax wasn’t willing to get away from the submarine Nautilus at all.

C.Sailing on the ocean must be dangerous and caused a large number of deaths.

D.Ned Land had got everything ready before he wanted to escape that night.

Do you like to eat sushi(寿司)? Many people are afraid to eat it, because they think the bacteria(细菌) in it might make them sick. However, a new study shows that sea bacteria are good for people. The study finds that a special enzyme(酶) from sea bacteria is helpful to humans. It helps people to get more energy from food.

To people’s surprise, the enzyme is present only in the Japanese. The Japanese traditionally like to eat food rich in seaweed(海藻). And the seaweed is rich in this kind of enzyme.

However, the enzyme isn’t present in all the Japanese. During the study, just 5 out of 14 Japanese had the enzyme. All the Americans studied didn’t have the enzyme.

“The number is small,” said researcher Mirjam Czjzek. “But we can say that this enzyme is present only in the Japanese and not in the North Americans.”

Then some people think that maybe other people are able to get the enzyme if they eat a lot of seaweed. The study suggests that they collect uncooked seaweed to make their sushi.

Restaurant sushi is often cooked, which will destroy the enzyme. So, if you want to get that enzyme, you can travel to Japan to have a taste of the real sushi.

1. Sea bacteria are _______ for people.

A. helpful　 B. harmful　 C. important　 D. necessary

2. Why do the Japanese have the special enzyme?

A. Because they eat a lot of seaweed.

B. Because they were born with such an enzyme.

C. Because they get more energy from food.

D. Because they like to eat food full of bacteria.

3.Which of the following is FALSE?

A. The Japanese have a diet rich in seaweed.

B. All the Japanese studied have the special enzyme.

C. All the North Americans studied don’t have the enzyme.

D. The enzyme helps people to get more energy.

4.According to the study, about _______ of Japanese have the enzyme.

A. 5%　　 B. 14%　　 C. 35%　　 D. 60%

5.Which of the following food has the enzyme?

A. Restaurant sushi.　　 B. Restaurant seaweed.

C. Uncooked seaweed.　　 D. Seaweed soup.
