11.Luca Gramberini has been scuba diving(戴水肺潜水)  since he was a kid.His family owns a scuba company.For the past three summers,Luca has added gardening to his underwater activities.He helps run Nemo's Garden,a project to grow plants in the sea.
From May through September,Luca and other divers are working on Nemo's Garden in the Mediterranean Sea,150feet from the coast of Noli,Italy.Five large balloon-like objects,called biospheres(生物圈),hold plants such as beans and strawberries.The biospheres are filled with air and placed 20feet below the surface."My father came up with the idea because he loves gardening very much,"Luca said.
According to Luca,the sea is a good place to grow plants because underwater temperatures remain stable,changing little from day to night.The biospheres act like greenhouses.Inside the air-filled biospheres,fresh water keeps evaporating(蒸发),providing the plants with a good environment to grow in."We have already seen the plants,grow faster and better,"Luca says."And there are fewer storms that can knock down the biospheres during the summer."
Luca hopes Nemo's Garden will provide a new way of growing crops."There is not enough land on the Earth,"he says."And in many developing countries,bad conditions make it difficult for crops to grow."
Though the project has just started,Nemo's Garden has achieved success and is moving to different areas."We're going to try growing other plants."Luca says."We hope to set up biospheres in other countries.There are many possibilities."

35.The underlined word"stable"in paragraph 3 meansC in Chinese.

36.The passage is probably taken from theB part of a newspaper.

分析 全文大意:
从Luca Gramberini还是孩子的时候,他就潜水.因为他家开了一个潜水公司.在过去的三年夏天里,Luca在他的水下活动中增加了园艺.他帮助经营尼莫花园,一个在海底种植的项目.从五月到九月,Luca和其他潜水员在地中海的尼莫花园工作,距离意大利城市诺利海岸150英尺.五个巨大的像气球一样的物体被称为生物圈.里面种植了豆子、草莓等作物.生物圈里充满了空气位于海平面20英尺以下.Luca说"我父亲想出的主意,因为他非常热爱园艺."据Luca说海底是种植的好地方因为海底温度保持稳定,白天与晚上温差很小.生物圈像温室一样.在充满了空气的生物圈,新鲜水保持蒸发,给植物提供了生长的好的环境.Luca说"我们已看到植物生长地又快又好,在夏季很少有暴风雨会撞击到生物圈"Luca希望尼莫花园会给农作物种植提供一个新的方法.他说"地球上没有足够的陆地,在很多发展中国家,恶劣的环境对于农作物的生长不利."尽管这个项目刚刚开始.尼莫花园已经取得成功正转向不同领域.Luca说"我打算尝试种其他植物.我们希望在其他国家建立生物圈,这是有许多可能性的."

解答 答案:
34.D     细节理解题       根据第一段最后一句话:He helps run Nemo's Garden,a project to grow plants in the sea."他帮助经营尼莫花园,一个在海底种植的项目"可知尼莫花园是一个水下种植的项目,故选D.
35.C      词义猜测题     根据含有划线单词的句子的下文changing little from day to night"白天与晚上温差很小"可知海底气温变化很小,故推测stable意为"稳定"的意思.故选C
36.B      推理判断题       根据全文大意,可知文章讲了Luca和其他潜水员在地中海的尼莫花园工作,地址位于意大利城市诺利的海岸附近,"尼莫花园"是一个水下种植的项目,是对于农业新方向的探索,旨在研究缺乏肥沃土壤的情况下在海底种植农作物的可能性,故推知可能出现在报纸的科技部分,故选B
37.A      主旨大意题        文章讲了Luca和其他潜水员在地中海的尼莫花园工作,地址位于意大利城市诺利的海岸附近,"尼莫花园"是一个水下种植的项目可知文章主要围绕海底花园展开,故拟个最佳题目就是海底花园即"Gardens in the sea",故选A

9.A 108-year-old Message in a BottleOn November 30,1906,George Bidder dropped a bottle from a boat into the North Sea.The weighted glass bottle sank almost to the sea floor,and then it move slowly for 108years and 138days.
Its journey ended when Marianne Winkler found the bottle in 2015.Winkler was then on vacation on Amrum Island.She picked up the bottle when it was washed up onto the beach.She saw a piece of paper inside,but didn't break it open.She could tell that the bottle was old.So she didn't want to damage it.
Finally she got the piece of paper out of the bottle.She found that the paper was actually a postcard.On the back of the card there was this message:The Marine Biological Association(海洋生物学协会) would pay a shilling(先令) for the bottle.A shilling was a unit of money that was used in Great Britain before the early 1970s.
Winkler filled out the card and posted it.The association was surprised to get a postcard addressed to George Bidder,the president of the association from 1939to 1945.The workers of the association searched on the Internet to find a shilling.They found one and sent it to Winkler as a reward.
The message in the bottle was the oldest ever re-discovered.For this reason Marianne Winkler got a place in"Guinness World Records"(吉尼斯世界纪录).She broke the record for the oldest message in a bottle.
Winkler's bottle was not the only one Bidder sent to sea.Between 1904and 1906,he spent away more than one thousand bottles.He placed postcards inside them.The bottles were part of a research  project to map currents(洋流) in the North Sea.This was the best method at that time.But whether the association could get the bottles back depended on the people who found them.The association reported that about 55percent of the bottles were returned.They added that the experiment was a success as it showed the east-to-west flow of the North Sea's currents.

61.How long did the weighted glass bottle move in the sea?For 108 years and 138 days.
62.Did Marianne Winkler find the bottle in 2015?Yes.
63.What was in the bottle?A piece of paper.
64.Who was George Bidder?The president of the association from 1939 to 1945.
65.Why did Bidder drop bottles into the sea?Because the bottles were parts of a research project to map currents in the North Sea..
