In real life, clownfish are among the th
11、ousands of colorful sea creatures that call the Great Barrier Reef home. Stretching 1, 250 miles along Australias northeastern coast, the Great Barrier Reef is the longest coral reef in the world.A coral reef is a living underwater structure. But these days, the Great Barrier Reef has found itself i
12、n trouble. Overfishing, pollution, and high temperatures are harming its health. Thats why the government in Australia is trying to help rescue the reef.Underwater GardenWhile coral may look like a plant, it is actually made up of tiny sea animal. Those sea animals are called coral polyps.As polyps
13、die, they leave hard shells behind. Other polyps grow on top of the shells. Over thousands of years, they form a coral reef in warm water that is not very deep.In many ways, the Great Barrier Reef resembles an underwater garden. Coral can be hard or soft. It forms in different colors and in strange
14、shapes. Some coral looks like hardened brains. Other coral looks like fans and lettuces.The reef bursts with schools of tropical fish, dashing among gaps in the coral. The reef supplies food and shelter to creatures living in and around the coral. Turtles, sharks, sea horses, and crabs are among its
15、 many inhabitants.Helping HumansWhile the reef is important to ocean life, it helps humans, too. People rely on the reef for both food and jobs. It also provides medicine used to treat disease. Each year, the Great Barrier Reef contributes about $ 975 million to the economy through tourism and fishi
16、ng.Stressed OutIs it surprising, then, that the Great Barrier Reef is under too much stress? Fishing nets and ships break off sections and damage the reef. Air and water pollution are also doing harm. At the same time, warmer sea temperatures have caused coral bleaching（漂白）on half of the reef. The h
17、igh temperatures cause the coral to turn white, often killing it.Reef RescueIn an effort to help save the reef, the government has limited fishing to two thirds of it. That plan increases the number of “green zones.” Those are areas that are off-limits to fishermen and boats. However, tourists and r
18、esearchers can still visit them. Many fishermen are upset about the plan because they rely on the reef for jobs.The Australian government says that its plan will help keep the reef safe from some threats. “It is very important that we give a reef proper protection for the future,” said one governmen
19、t official. The reef is Australias greatest natural treasure.1、Which of the following is not a creature that lives in the Great Barrier Reef?ACoral polyps. BTurtles.CSea horses.

21、ps in the coral.22（8分） NASA has a new job listing, and its no joke. The US space agency is looking for a “joker” to join their planned mission to Mars.A mission to Mars is no laughing matter. On average, the red planet is 140 million miles (225 million kilometers) away from Earth. A trip there would
22、 take around eight months in a small spacecraft. And Mars has a communications delay of 20 minutes. This means that astronauts will have to wait 20 minutes for a reply, when an emergency happens.“When youre living with others in a confined space for a long period of time, such as on a mission to Mar
23、s, problems are likely to occur,” Jeffrey Johnson, a scientist at the University of Florida, told the Guardian.This is probably why NASA wants an astronaut with a sense of humor. “These are people that have the ability to pull everyone together,” Johnson said.In stressful situations, perhaps humor i
24、s a way to know we arent alone. By laughing together, we share our stress. Then we can focus on our jobs instead of just worrying.There are other examples of team “clowns”. One example is the journey to the South Pole led by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. It was a difficult journey, full of dang
25、er. Adolf Lindstrom, a cook at Amundsens team, was a “clown”. He made people laugh through the whole journey. Amundsen later wrote that Lindstrom was the most valuable member of the team.But if youre hoping that your favorite TV comedian will fly to Mars, that probably wont happen.“Being funny wont

39、ay and age,that we cant help reaching for our phones to take a picture when seeing beautiful things.Though this would seem to be a wonderful solution,there are two big problems about taking pictures.Firstly, were likely to be so busy taking the pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beau
40、ty and interest inspire us to take a photograph in the first place.And secondly,because we feel the pictures are safely stored in our phones,we never get around to look at them.These problems would seem to be very much of today,a consequence of the tiny phones in our pockets.But they were noticed ri
41、ght at the beginning of the history of photography,when the average camera was the size of a grandfather clock.The first person who noticed them was the English art critic,John Ruskin.He was a travelling lover who realized that most tourists failed to notice or remember the beautiful things they saw
42、.He argued that humans have a born tendency（倾向）to respond to beauty and desire to keep it,but that there are bad expressions of this desire.At worst,we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs.But,in Ruskins eyes, theres one thing we should do and that is attempting to draw the interesting th
43、ings we see,and it doesnt matter whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.Before the invention of photography,people used to draw far more than they do today.It was an active necessity. But in the mid-19th century,photography killed drawing.It became something only artists would ever do,so
44、Ruskin spent four years on a campaign to get people drawing again.So if drawing had value even when it was practiced by people with no talent,it was for Ruskin because drawing can teach us to notice properly rather than watch absent-mindedly（心不在焉地）.When describing what lies before our eyes with our
45、own hands,we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.1、What does the underlined word impulse mean?AInterest. BUrge.CHabit. DReaction.2、What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?AAn effective solution to storing somethi
