Not too long ago, there was a man called Jacques Cousteau. He studied the sea and all

forms of life in water. He loved the beautiful colors and the beautiful fish in the sea. One day,

when he took photos under the sea, he saw some colorful coral reefs （珊瑚礁） were dead

and grey. He wanted to know why and he found the factory near the sea poured waste water

into the sea. Jacques Cousteau was very sad and he decided to tell people how important it

was to protect the environment under the sea. He started to set up an organization（组织）to

help people to protect life in the sea.

Water covers most of the Earth, so Cousteau knew that we should keep the sea clean. We

should not throw litter into the sea, and we should clean up the dirty parts and use fewer plastic

products. Because water is very important to our environment, he encouraged everyone to take

第二节、阅读填空（每小题1分，共5分）

The Mississippi

The Mississippi is a great river whose relationship with man goes way back beyond its

discovery in the 16th century. The River Indians used it as a highway and as a source of food,

and it was they who gave it its name—"misi" meaning "great" and "sipi" meaning "water" . When

the length of its branch, the Missouri, is added to it, the Mississippi becomes

greater. 1 From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta（三角洲） it is 2, 480

miles long.

2 In 1927 the Mississippi flooded 26 thousand acres, sweeping away farms, towns,

everything in its path. In 1938 its floods drowned or killed 200 people and made millions

homeless. Today the river has largely been controlled. 3

4 Pioneers who first reached its banks wondered not only where it went, but what

lay beyond. In 1764 the French founded a city on the right bank of the river, and named it after

their king, Louis XV. This city, named St. Louis, became the jumping-off place for the

17

A.

B.

C.

D.

E.

adventurous men and women who opened up the Great Plains, and the way to the Far West.

Some 40 years earlier, at the beginning of the 18th century, the French had founded

another city just above the Mississippi delta, New Orleans. 5 New Orleans is one of the

great ports of the world, and one of the greatest terminals for both sea and river traffic.

It was the Mississippi that made the city what it is.

Levees—high banks built of earth, hold back the flood waters.

Therefore, as we know, it's the third longest river in the world.

It is known that the "Great Water" has also been a frontier river.

Great rivers are likely to suffer floods.
