21、 Jason Taylor has made it his mission to use his talent to conserve our ecosystems by creating underwater museums. Over the years, the environmentalist has put over 850 massive artworks underwater worldwide. On February 1, 2021, Taylor launched his latest work-The Underwater Museum of Cannes.“The ma
22、in goal was to bring attention to the fact that our oceans need our help,” Taylor told Dezeen. “Ocean ecologies have been destroyed by human activity in the Mediterranean over the past few decades, and it is not obvious what is taking place when observing the sea from afar.”The Underwater Museum of
23、Cannes contains 6 sculptures featuring local residents of various ages. They range from Maurice, an 80-year-old fisherman, to Anouk, a 9-year-old student. Towering over 6-feet-tall and weighing 10 tons, the faces are sectioned into two parts, with the outer part like a mask. The mask indicates that
24、the worlds oceans appear powerful and unbeatable from the surface but house an ecosystem that is extremely fragile to careless human activities.Though the waters surrounding the sculptures now appear a pristine blue, the seabed was filled with old boat engines, pipes, and other human-made trash when
25、 the project began about four years ago. Besides removing the trash, Taylor also restored the areas seagrass. Just one square meter of the seagrass can generate up to 10 liters of oxygen daily. The seagrass also helps prevent coastal erosion and provides habitats for many ocean creatures.“The idea o
26、f creating an underwater museum was to draw more people underwater and develop a sense of care and protection,” Taylor told Dezeen. “If we threw unwanted waste near a forest, there would be a public outcry. But this is happening every day in our surrounding waters and it largely goes unnoticed.”34Wh
27、at are the underwater museums intended to do?ATo make huge profits.BTo raise awareness of protecting the ocean.CTo show Jason Taylors talent.DTo draw attention to endangered sea animals.35Why does the outer part of the sculptures look like a mask?ATo popularize the features of the locals. BTo remind
28、 people to protect themselves.CTo reflect peoples protection of the ocean. DTo stress the sensitiveness of the ecosystem.36Whats Paragraph 4 mainly about?AHow the project was started.BHow the seagrass was restoredCWhat recovery effort the project made.DWhy the surroundings were improved.37What can w
29、e infer from what Jason Taylor said in the last paragraph?AThe situation of the ocean is easily ignored. BThe destruction caused to the ocean is noticeable.CForests play a more important role in ecosystems. DPeople have zero tolerance to damage done to nature. CAs a young child, I was painfully shy.
30、 Id watch other children play in the park, wishing I could join them, but I was too scared to approach. Eventually, my mother would come to the rescue. Shed ask the other kids if I could play, too. Today, I feel comfortable giving public lectures in large halls and having conversations in small grou
31、ps, but I still tend to avoid situations in which Im expected to spend time with a roomful of strangers.There could be many reasons. For one thing, I might be carrying some childhood fear of rejection. But beyond that possibility, one likely element is that I tend to underestimate how much people li
32、ke me after I meet them, as most of us do.A new research paper reports that the common concern that new people may not like us, or that they may not enjoy our company, is largely unfounded.Erica Boothby of Cornell University and her colleagues conducted a series of studies to find out what our conve
33、rsation partners really think of us. In doing so, they discovered a new cognitive illusion (认知错觉) they call “the liking gap”: our failure to realize how much strangers appreciate our company after a bit of conversation.The researchers observed the gap in a variety of situations: strangers getting ac
34、quainted in the research laboratory, first-year college students getting to know their dormitory mates over the course of many months, and community members meeting fellow participants in personal development workshops. In each circumstance, people consistently underestimated how much others liked t
35、hem. For much of the academic year, as dormitory mates got to know each other and even started to develop enduring friendships, the liking gap persisted.The data also revealed some of the potential reasons for the illusion: we are often more severe with ourselves than with others, and our inner crit
36、ic prevents us from appreciating how positively other people evaluate us. Not knowing what our conversation partners really think of us, we use our own thoughts as a proxy (代理人). This is a mistake, because our thoughts tend to be more negative than reality.38Why does the author mention his childhood
37、 experience?ATo show how his character changed. BTo explain what he was like when he was young.CTo show an example of why people are shy of communication.DTo emphasize the important role of a mother in ones childhood.39What does the underlined word “unfounded” probably mean?ACareless.BBaseless.CSelf
38、less.DMeaningless.40What do we know about the liking gap from the text?AIt indicates what strangers really think of us. BIt begins and ends quickly among strangers.CIt disappears when strangers get to know each other. DIt states our misunderstanding of how much others like us.41Which of the followin
39、g is the best title for this text?APeople Like You More than You Know BHow to Get Along Well with StrangersCThe Way to Know What Others Think of Us DHaving Conversations with Strangers Benefits UsDThe deep-sea oil and gas industry has vast and costly facilities to maintain. Wells, other equipment, a
40、nd thousands of kilometers of pipelines must be inspected and repaired.Now, cutting-edge underwater drones (无人机) and robots are being developed that could make the work safer and cheaper. Among them is Eelume, a six-meter-long, snake-like robot equipped with sensors and a camera at each end. It can
41、be kept at a station at depths of up to half a kilometer for six months, without being brought back to the surface. The robot can travel up to 20 kilometers before needing to return to its station to recharge.Maintenance work at many deep-water wells and pipeline systems is already carried out by un
42、manned vehicles. But these vehicles typically need to be transported to the offshore site on a fully crewed ship and then remotely operated from onboard the surface ship. That can cost up to $100,000 per day, according to Pl Liljebck, chief technology officer with Eelume Subsea Intervention, which d
43、eveloped the robot. Liljebck says that by “enabling the robot to become a subsea resident living at a station, it can be mobilized at any time to do inspections, thereby reducing the need for costly surface ships”.Eelume can work autonomously on tasks assigned from a control room onshore, and send b
44、ack video and data. Its snake-like design allows it to work in small spaces and wriggle (扭动) its body to stay in place in strong currents. By staying under the sea, it can carry out tasks whatever the conditions on the surface of the ocean.The global underwater robotics market is expected to be wort
45、h around $7 billion in 2025, according to analysts, and other companies are in the process of commercializing new deep-sea drone and robot technology. Eelume Subsea Intervention will carry out final testing on the seabed later this year at the sgard oil and gas field. It expects to put its first snake robots into use next year and hopes to have up to 50 in oceans around the world by 2027.42What is one feature of Eelume?AIt can travel nearly 40 kilometers before recharging. BIt can dive as deep as 500 meters.CIt works mainly around the station. DIt works
