周末大自习·话题集训　第五周　演练话题———生态环保 卷(一)　话题阅读提速练(限时35分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Scientists who were working to map the Pacific Ocean floor off the coast of North America found a purple squid (鱿鱼) with big eyes. The squid is called the Rossia Pacifica. It is only about six centimeters long. The small sea creature was found at a depth of about 900 meters, off the coast of southern California. It is a great discovery and scientists go crazy about the big eyed squid. Money for the mapping project came from the Ocean Exploration Trust. The Trust was the idea of Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreckage (残骸) of the ship Titanic in 1985. The scientists making the map are working on a large boat called the Nautilus. The Nautilus has remote controlled roving vehicles (远程控制漫游工具) that can explore the ocean floor. The researchers have a number of cameras, all of which are connected to the boat. When researchers found the brightly colored squid, they were very excited as it had not been found ever before. You can see the excitement in a video posted to YouTube. It has more than one million views. You can hear the scientists saying “Whoa! What is that He has strange eyes.” The scientists are laughing. One of them jokingly suggests that the squid is actually a child's toy dropped into the ocean by accident. It turns out that the Rossia Pacifica uses its big eyes to look for little ocean creatures that it can catch for food. The Nautilus left from Canada in May and completed its trip in September. 1．What was the task of these scientists A．To find a special squid. B．To find ships sunk in the ocean.

B One night, Pilar was in a deep sleep when she was woken by her cat Inti. Inti was meowing (猫叫声) wildly outside Pilar's bedroom and throwing himself against the closed bedroom door. When Pilar opened her eyes, she saw that her bedroom was filling with smoke. As she escaped her house with Inti in her arms, she saw that a fire was burning in her kitchen. Pilar could easily have lost her life, but Inti would not let that happen. Even though Inti could have escaped the house through a cat door, he wouldn't leave Pilar. As amazing as this story is, it is not as uncommon as you may think. Take the example of Charlotte Lee and her horse, Thunder. One summer night, the whole family was asleep with the windows open. It was normally very quiet where ... ...
