are surrounded by the sea, so it is not surprising that the sea has always played an important role in their lives.after the development of large, ocean- going sailing ships in the fifteenth century, the sea became even more important to the countrys development. ships setting sail from england determined to extend britains territories, its wealth and its knowledge of the world.ships returned to england bringing goods, people and new ideas from foreign places. by the nineteenth century, britain had the largest, most powerful navy in the world.the great sailing ships were so much a part of british life that they even affected the language.many english expressions we use today were originally nautical(航海的)terms, although most people no longer realize this. for example, people commonly describe an honest and fair business deal as beingabove board.this expression was originally used in sailing ship times when secretive, dishonest ships business would becarried out below decks( i. e. below the boards)out of public view. on the other hand, honest business was always conducted on deck (above the boards), in the open where everyone could see what was going on.pipe down!, meaning be quiet!,is another common expression that has nautical origins. the ships boatswain(水手长) would blow a whistle,or pipe, at the end of the day to indicate(表明) to the sailors it was time to quieten down and go to sleep.most native english speakers have heard the expression not enough room to swing a cat, but few know that the“cat”does not refer to a small furry animal with four legs and a tail. thecatis actually a short form ofcat of nine tails.a whip with nine,knotted(打结的) tails. a boatswain needed a lot of space in order to swing the whip properly when lashing(鞭打) a poor sailor under his control!21. the british have been strongly influenced by thesea becausea. they live on an island surrounded by the seab. they occupied more land around the worldc. they got more wealth from the sead. they had the largest navy ever22. if someone is open and above board, it means he isa, secretiveb.cheerful c. honestd. dishonest23.which of the following is true according to the passage?a. sailors will be whipped if they do business below decks.b. sailors need to go to sleep when they hear a whistle.c. a poor sailor may be whipped nine times a day.d. there is no spare room to raise cats on ships.24. the passage is mainly about_.a. the business on british sailing shipsb. the sailing history of englishc. the sailing story of british sailorsd. the influence of british sailors language on english bthe best reporters i know are bright,persistent,honest,curious and courageous.if you asked them to explain their success,this is what they might say：helen：a good reporter is a generalist,able to deal with a number of topics and talk with a variety of people.he or she can see the unusual,the ironic(讽刺的) in the everyday.she can think through all the possibilities and organize a large amount

is pleasant.she adopts a friendly nature with those she meets.she is a grateful guest,with a belief in the basic goodness of people.she conveys to those she meets that she is tolerant of them and

rice（耐盐碱水稻）, seawater rice is designed to grow in tidal flats or other areas with heavy salt content and has been developed by plant-breeding experts through crossbreeding（杂交育种） and other technologies.one type of seawater rice growing in qingdaos chengyang district, shandong province, yielded 3.9 metric tons per hectare, experts announced. once widely planted on a large scale, the yield could be much higher.the qingdao saline-alkali tolerant rice research and development center, led by famous chinese agricultural scientist yuan longping, was established three years ago. it set itself a three-year target of developing a kind of salt-resistant rice strain capable of yielding 4.5 tons a hectare, which would guarantee growers the minimum acceptable level of profit. the average rice yield in china is 6.75 tons a hectare.planting in the experimental field in chengyang district and five other plots of saline-alkali land started at the end of may. the five other plots were in dongying, shandong province; wenzhou, zhejiang province; yanan, shaanxi province; kashgar, in the xinjiang uygur autonomous region; and daqing, heilongjiang province. the sites represent actually every type of saline-alkali land in china and researchers aim to cultivate different strains able to cope with different climate, salinity and soil structure conditions.the test crops in kashgar and daqing were also harvested on wednesday. in kashgar, the yield reached more than 7.5 tons per hectare, according to experts tests, much higher than expected. the harvest in kashgar was satisfactory. the result means it is possible to plant such salt-resistant rice in southern xinjiang in the future. xinjiang has about 2 million hectares of saline-alkali land that have the potential to be planted with salt-resistant rice, and if it is widely planted, it will substantially improve rice production in the region.the seawater rice strain grown in daqing only yielded 3.1 tons per hectare. a live video clip on shandong tv showed growers appearing a little disappointed by the result, as they hoped the experts efforts would boost production. the water and soil conditions at the site were not ideal, and the ph level was extremely high.28. which is the main feature of seawater rice according to the text?a. it has a shorter growing period.b. it is a kind of highly productive crop.c. it can grow in the soil with high salt content.d. it is the combination of many technologies.29. how much rice does a farmer harvest at least to meet the cost?a. 3.9 tons a hectare.b. 4.5 tons a hectare.c. 6.75 tons a hectare.d. 7. 5 tons a hectare.30. the researchers chose the experimental fields according toa. the distance between them.b. the type of the soil and climate.c. the local governments support.d. the local agricultural conditions.31.what can we infer about the seawater rice from the last paragraph?a. the seawater rice is not fit for all kinds of saline-alkali soils.b. it is impossible for the seawater rice to have a good harvest.c. growers from shandong were a little disappointed by the result.d. the output of the seawater rice grown in daqing is the lowest.32. what is

by politely discussing it. remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.39offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate.
