    With all the snow and bitter cold we’ve had this winter, it’s hard to imagine jumping into a large body of water. But not far away, there are plenty of warm places where you can not only splash but swim.

    Snorkel the Philippines

    On the other side of the world, there are some amazing hidden destinations in the Pacific Ocean that offer diving and swimming. The Coral Triangle is named for its vast variety of corals(珊瑚), some 600 different species. And, according to the World Wildlife Fund, the area is home to six of the seven world marine turtle species and more than 2,000 species of fish.

    Buddy Dive Resort Bonaire

    Often referred to as a diver’s paradise(天堂), Bonaire has an average forecast of 82 degrees and sunny year-round. Bonaire is known for “shore diving”, which means you can walk into the water and off you go. There are more than 50 easily accessible dive sites along the west coast. The natural reefs(礁) are full of more than 400 colorful species of fish, sea turtles and coral, as well as several shipwrecks (nowhere else to be seen).

    Plunge the Depths of Palau

    Also in the Western Pacific is the remote island of Palau, an island country also nicknamed “Rainbow’s End” because it’s so far away. You have to fly from Asian areas, like Thailand, India, Vietnam, but it’s worth it. In Palau, divers will find drop-offs, shallow reefs and channels beneath the sea. Reef walls in Palau team with marine life, schools of fish, old growth coral gardens and hidden marine lakes.

    Greg Deaver

    Talking of Mexico, the island of Cozumel is a premier warm-weather diving site, with the second largest reef system in the world. It’s Mexico’s largest Caribbean island, largest permanently inhabited island, and Mexico’s third-largest island, and its people mainly live in the town of San Miguel. Easy to reach by plane from the US, Cozumel is known for its massive underwater walls and “drift diving”. In Cozumel, you’ll find a vast number of fish, corals, sponges, nurse sharks, big stingrays, hawks bill turtles and lots of macro life within its clear blue and very warm waters.

    1.What do the four places have in common according to the passage?

    A. They own the largest reef systems.

    B. They are good diving spots in winter.

    C. They all provide you with shipwrecks.

    D. They are all difficult to reach.

    2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

    A. If you want to go to Plunge the Depths of Palau, you can take a flight from Vietnam.

    B. Snorkel the Philippines is disliked by the world because of its location.

    C. Buddy Dive Resort Bonaire is the only place where you can see corals.

    D. Greg Deaver is the coolest one among the four places.

    3.It can be learned from the passage that ______________.

    A. Cozumel is a small country in the Atlantic

    B. Cozumel is famous for the town San Miguel

    C. Cozumel is a close neighbor to Mexico

    D. Cozumel is located in North America

    Chinese archeologists were therefore surprised in the 1990s to find the remains of an ancient fortification (筑城) in Liqian，a remote town in Yongchang county on the edge of a desert area，which was strikingly similar to Roman defense structures.

    They were even more astonished to find West?ern?looking people with green，deep?set eyes，long hooked noses and blond hair.

    Though the villagers said they had never traveled outside the county，they worshipped bulls and their favorite game was similar to the ancient Romans' bull?fighting dance.

    DNA tests in 2005 confirmed some of the villagers were indeed of Caucasian origin，leading many experts to conclude they are descendants of an ancient Roman army headed by general Marcus Crassus.

    “The‘foreign’origin of the Yongchang villagers，as proven by the DNA tests，does not necessarily mean they are of ancient Roman origin.”

    Xie Xiaodong，a geneticist from Lanzhou University，also sounded a skeptical note.

    “Even if they are descendants of Romans，it doesn't mean they are necessarily from that Roman army，” Xie said.

    Their mysterious identity has brought wealth and fame to some of the villagers.

    Cai Junnian has yellow wavy hair，a hooked nose and green eyes.A DNA test in 2005 confirmed he is of 56 percent European origin.It made him famous almost overnight.

    Reporters，filmmakers，historians and geneticists from around the world pursued him.A Beijing film producer will spend millions to turn the villagers' story into a film.

    Lanzhou University's new research body，set up this week by Chinese and Italian anthropologists，is a platform for experts to further research the subject but the research work will certainly be complicated.

    The center will help Chinese learn Italian language and culture，he said.“More exchanges will certainly be helpful in unraveling the mystery.”

    1.Scientists take DNA tests in order to ________.

    A. explain why villagers have the Western?looking

    B. explain why ancient Roman army disappeared

    C. explain why villagers are infected with AIDS

    D. explain why villagers married at an early age

    2.Which is NOT true according to the passage?

    A. Romans like bull?fighting dance.

    B. The villagers are of ancient Roman origin.

    C. The research work will be very complicated.

    D. Cai Junnian's European origin makes him famous overnight.

    3.What's the meaning of the underlined word“unraveling” in the last paragraph?

    A. Keeping. B. Discovering.

    C. Storing. D. Destroying.

    4.Which of the following would be the BEST title for the passage?

    A. Chinese Villagers Descended from Roman Soldiers

    B. Unforgettable and Fierce Ancient Roman War

    C. Similarities Between Chinese and Western People

    D. An Introduction to Roman Defense Structures

    Last winter vacation, my parents and I went back to our hometown, where I spend my childhood. Walking slow in the quiet small town reminded me of the good old day. I went from street to street, in the search of my childhood footprints. Suddenly, I found me at the gate of the primary school on which I studied for six years. As I entered, I was surprised find that the old classroom building was gone. But it was filling with my childhood memories! I felt such sad that tears ran down my cheeks.

    科目：高中英语 来源：云南省2017届高三下学期第二次统测英语试卷 题型：阅读理解

    My doorbell rings at 11 a.m. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.

    I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October. Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.

    I know what is inside the paper carrier bag — a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence.

    Communication between my benefactor (恩人)and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is “hello”. Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right.

    “Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time” I protested. “I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her” I said.

    “Oh，no,” Nicole said. “Don’t worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname.”

    The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 68—13 years younger than I am — and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.

    So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the other’s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper earner bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing.

    Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words—it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness.

    “Thank you” is, of course，the first one, which somehow seems inadequate.

    1.The author and Wing got to know each other .

    A. as next door neighbors

    B. when exchanging meals

    C. by sharing similar experiences

    D. after using an iPad to communicate

    2.The underlined word “reciprocate” in Paragraph 5 probably means .

    A. do as well B. offer generously

    C. give in return D. accept with pleasure

    3.The author’s effort to learn Mandarin shows her .

    A. great satisfaction B. real kindness

    C. heartfelt thanks D. sincere friendship

    I had offered to watch my 3-year-old daughter, Ramanda, so that my wife could go out with a friend. I was getting some work done while Ramanda appeared to be having a good time in the other room. No problem, I figured. But then it got a little too quiet and I yelled out. “What are you doing. Raxiianda?” No response. I repeated my question and heard her say, “Oh ... nothing.” Nothing? What does “nothing” mean?

    I got up from my desk and ran out into the living room, and then I saw her take off down the hall. I chased her up the stairs and watched her as her little behind made a hard left into the bedroom. I was gaining on her! She took off for the bathroom. Bad move. I had her cornered. I told her to turn around. She refused. I pulled out my big, mean authoritative(命令式的)Daddy voiced Young lady, I said turn around!”

    Slowly, she turned toward me. In her hand was what was left of my wife's new lipstick. And every square inch of her face was covered with bright red (except her lips of course)!

    As she looked up at me with fearful eyes, lips trembling. I heard every voice that had been shouted to me as a child. “How could you...You should know better than that...How many times have you been told …What a bad thing to do...” It was just a matter of my picking out which old message I was going to use on her so that she would know what a bad girl she had been. But before I could let loose, I looked down at the sweatshirt my wife had put on her only an hour before. In big letters it said, “I'M A PERFECT LITTLE ANGEL!” I looked back up into her tearful eyes and, instead of seeing a bad girl who didn’t listen, I saw a child of God …a perfect little angel full of worth, value and a wonderful spontaneity(自发行为) that I had come dangerously close to shaming out of her.

    “Sweetheart, you look beautiful! let's take a picture so Mommy can see how special you look.” I took the picture and thanked God that I didn’t miss the opportunity to reaffirm（再肯定）what a perfect little angel he had given me.

    1.When the author found the house was abnormally quiet, ________.

    A. he went on with his work

    B. he went to check on his daughter

    C. he called his daughter to come over

    D. he knew his daughter must be behaving well

    2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

    A. How the father made his daughter admit her fault.

    B. The naughty girl trying to get the father's attention.

    C. The run and chase between the father and daughter

    D. A funny game the father and daughter played with each other.

    3.When he saw his daughter's face, the author ________.

    A. thought she was so beautiful and lovely a girl

    B. no longer saw her as an angel

    C. flew into an uncomfortable disappointment

    D. remembered the words he was scolded with

    4.What does the underlined sentence ''I had her cornered'' mean?

    A. She had been in the comer of the room.

    B. She had screamed out of fear.

    C. I had forced her into a position from which she couldn't escape.

    D. She had escaped from one comer to another.
