【題目】 "How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in the U.S.A. greet each other.1. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine" even though the speaker isn't fine at all. The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question, and "Fine" isn't really an answer. They are simply the ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi".

2. For example, when someone asks "Do you agree?", the other person might think, "No, I disagree. I think you're wrong..." But it isn't very polite to speak out one's real thoughts so directly, so the person might say "I'm not sure", which is a nicer way to say that you don't agree.

People won't tell the truth when they want to finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I have to go now." Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse like "Someone's at the door. "or" Something is burning on the stove."3. They want to hang up simply because they don't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to tell the truth. The excuse is more polite and it doesn't hurt the other person's feelings.

Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don't always say exactly what they are thinking. 4. and it's part of the game of a language.

A.What they say might not be true

B.Sometimes people don't say exactly what they mean

C.But it is also a very unusual question

D.It doesn't sound good to lie to others

E.It's an important way to get along well with each other

【題目】 It’s sad to learn that a whale has died in the ocean. However, that’s not the end for the whale. It has a lot to give to other sea animals after death.

When a whale dies, it quickly sinks (下沉) to the bottom of the ocean floor. There, the whale body provides food and nutrients (營養(yǎng)) to deep-sea animals, which are often hungry for food. The remains can last for hundreds of years and create a complex ecosystem called a whale fall (鯨落).

Chinese scientists found a whale fall for the first time in the South China Sea during a deep-sea expedition (考察) carried out by oceanic research vessel () Tansuo-1, which finished its expedition on April 2, 2020. Tansuo-1 carried the manned submersible (潛水器) Shenhai Yongshi, which is able to dive to a depth of 4,5000 meters.

The whale fall in the South China Sea is about three meters long. Scientists have found several species (物種) of shrimp and fish near the whale fall. Some fish have started to eat the whale’s tail. The whale fall might be quite recent and needs long-term observation (觀察), according to Xie Wei, a scientist who took part in the expedition.

The whale fall ecosystem can exist in the deep ocean because great pressure and cold temperatures there prevent body from decomposing too quickly. But the depth also makes it hard for scientists to discover them. There are about 50 known whale falls in the world.

By studying the whale fall, scientists can better understand how marine (海洋的) ecosystems support life and how to protect biodiversity (生物多樣性) resources in the deep sea.

1What does the writer try to describe in the second paragraph?

A.when a whale fall happen.B.where a whale fall happen.

C.why a whale fall happen.D.how a whale fall happen.

2Which sentence about the whale fall in the South China Sea is wrong?

A.It was found during a deep-sea expedition.

B.There was several species of shrimp and fish around it.

C.Scientists have finished the study of it.

D.Scientists from China found it on April 2, 2020.

3The underlined words “decomposing” in Paragraph 5 means _________.

A.putting inB.going badC.falling overD.setting off

4Why do scientists study the whale fall?

a. To understand how marine ecosystem support life.

b. To find how long the whale fall is.

c. To protect biodiversity resources in the deep sea.

d. To study whether fish eat the whale’s tail.

A.a bB.a cC.b cD.b d
