GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) – A fish that lives in mangrove swamps(红树沼泽)across the Americas can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted(适应)to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.
The Magrove Rivulus, a type of small killifish, lives in small pools of water in a certain type of empty nut or even old beer cans in the mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil. When their living place dries up, they live on the land in logs(圆木),said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard Endangered Lands Program in Florida.  
The fish, whose scientific name is Rivulus marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches. They group together in logs and breathe air through their skin until they can find water again. 
The new scientific discovery came after a trip to Belize.  “We kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out,” Taylor told Reuters in neighboring Guatgemala by telephone. He said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year. 
In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating. 
Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at time, while lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in an inactive state. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulus and remain active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at Canada’s University of Guelph. 
Further studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time. 
“These animals live in conditions similar to those that existed millions of years ago, when animals began making the transition(过渡)from water onto land,” Wright said.  
【小题1】The Mangrove Rivulus is a type of fish that _______. 

A.likes eating nuts
B.prefers living in dry places
C.is the longest living fish on earth
D.can stay alive for two months out of water
【小题2】Who will write up a report on Mangrove Rivulus?
A.Patricia WrightB.Researchers in Guatemala
C.Scientists from BelizeD.Scott Taylor
【小题3】According to the text, lungfish can________
A.breathe through its skin
B.move freely on dry land
C.remain alive out of water
D.be as active on land as in water
【小题4】What can we say about the discovery of Mangrove Rivulus?
A.It was made quite by accident
B.It was based on a lab test of sea life
C.It was supported by an American magazine
D.It was helped by Patricia Wright

If California were not already so famous for Sillicon Valley(硅谷) and Hollywood, it might be well-known for the groups of water-technology firms in its San Diego County. The reverse-osmosis (RO) spiral module, the technique that supports turning seawater and waste-water into drinkable stuff, began in San Diego in 1964. Today dozens of firms in the area supply many of the world's approximately 13,000 RO plants in places from the Persian Gulf and Israel to Australia and China.
Southern California itself, however, has not so far been a big user of its own technology. This is surprising, given that the whole American south-west faces a water problem. But now as the climate gets warmer and the population increases, there is more agreement that the existing infrastructure, consisting of vast pipes that carry water from the Sacramento Delta in the north and the Colorado River in the east, will not be enough. In places such as San Diego, which has inadequate and salty groundwater and currently imports 90% or its water, the answers must be greater conservation, reusing as much water as possible, and getting most of the rest from the sea.
The first part, conservation, has been widely accepted by the public. San Diego today uses less water with a larger population than it did in 1989, the year water consumption peaked. The second part, water recycling has been a hard sell, because of an unpleasant factor. Americans still use the term “toilet-to-tap” for recycling, even though properly treated waste-water is nowadays completely clean. Singapore made its programme acceptable in part by renaming it as NEWater.
This is where desalination comes in, which means taking the salt out of salt water. A firm called Poseidon Resources is now close to building the biggest desalination plant in America behind a power station by the beach in Carlsbad. The power plant sucks in 304m gallons of seawater a day for cooling, so Poseidon plans to change 104m gallons a day by using the RO spiral module.
Lots of people like the idea. Once fully running in 2015, the plant could produce 10% of the region's water. And there are plans for more desalination plants. Many places would need to take much less water from the endangered Colorado River. But a few people hate it a lot. Joe Geever, an expert in biology, says desalination uses too much energy and that Poseidon plant would kill too much sea life. He understands that there is a role for desalination, he says, but would rather not have it right there, right now, and on this scale.
【小题1】Which of the following is WRONG about the RO spiral module according to the passage?

A.This technology is not widely used in its birthplace.
B.Today there are about 13,000 RO plants in the Persian Gulf, Israel, Australia and China.
C.This technology can be used in desalination plants to make sea water drinkable.
D.It is a promising water treatment technology welcomed by a lot of people.
【小题2】How many solutions to the water problem in San Diego are mentioned in the article?
A.2.B.3.C.4.D.5.
【小题3】What can we infer from the article?
A.The Colorado River is the main water source for California.
B.Americans still use the term “toilet-to-tap” for recycling water.
C.NEWater serves as a brand for recycled clean water in Singapore.
D.Poseidon Resources stands for the power station by the beach in Carlsbad.
【小题4】What is Joe Geever's attitude toward building a large desalination plant at present?
A.Supportive.B.Negative.C.Optimistic.D.Vague.

The Internationa1 Space Station allows astronauts to live in space for extended amounts of time, enabling them to explore the outside universe and conduct many experiments. However, nothing like that exists for our oceans, and thanks to the high water pressure, ocean researchers are able to explore what lies undersea for very short periods of time.
They are therefore never able to fully explore the deep inside areas of our oceans. However, if French architect Jacques Rougerie has his way, that will change soon.
Jacques has designed a ship that will allow researchers to spend a long period of time observing the sea life and conducting experiments. The huge l67ft. ship, named ‘Sea Orbiter’, consists of two areas—one above the water where the scientists and crew will live, and a lower pressurized deck (甲板), where scientists will be able to spend as much time as they wish. Since it is powered by sea currents and wind, he expects it to drift (漂流) along the oceans slowly, taking about two years to circumvent the globe.
Jacques will make their life as comfortable as possible in the ship. Besides being equipped with the latest sailing tools and communication equipment, the ship will also have a gym, a television and a DVD player! And these guys will not be eating freeze-dried food like astronauts. Instead, Jacques, an accomplished chef, plans on cooking them delicious meals every day.
The biggest problem to this giant ship is the cost, which is expected to be over $500 million—per ship! However, Jacques, who strongly believes that the secrets of our oceans may be the key to solving global warming and a vital supply for food and medicine in the future, is confident he will be able to convince governments all over the world to help out, and expects to start construction on not one, but four or five of these amazing ships soon!
【小题1】Why can’t ocean researchers explore the deep oceans for a long time?

A.Because they can’t stand the high water pressure.
B.Because it’s too cold in deep ocean.
C.Because time for experiments is too limited.
D.Because it’s dangerous to observe the sea life.
【小题2】The underlined word “circumvent ” probably means     .
A.fly awayB.go aroundC.travel throughD.move into
【小题3】From the fourth paragraph we can learn that     .
A.Jacques intends to design the ship mainly for sightseeing and traveling
B.living a comfortable life helps to do the ocean research quickly
C.it’s much more expensive to eat freeze-dried food
D.researchers on Jacques ’ ship will live more comfortably than astronauts
【小题4】In Jacques’ opinion, which of the following is not the purpose of the undersea research?
A.To find supply for food in the future.
B.To find supply for medicine in the future.
C.To draw governments’ attention to the construction of the ship.
D.To solve the global warming.
【小题5】Which of the fol1owing would be the best title for the text?
A.Sea Orbiter—the ship of the future
B.A new way to explore the deep oceans
C.A great architect—Jacques Rogerie
D.Travel around the globe in Sea Orbiter
