These two incredible Seas hold some of my favorite travel memories and I would revisit each one in a heart beat!The Mediterranean SeaThe Mediterranean Sea can be accessed from various European
13、countries as well as a few North African countries. And while many think of visiting Ibiza, Malta, or the Greek islands to experience the Mediterranean, my Mediterranean beach days came while visiting the seaside city of Marseille in the South of France! Marseille was a lovely city with easy access
14、to the Sea, also with pretty sandy beaches. The gorgeous crystal clear blue water made it unlike any beach day in America!

Altogether, 74 opera styles had only one troupe left, and most were at the risk of fading away.Xie Boliang, a professor at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, said, “It is well known that people should be held accountable for soil erosion, but why do we feel at ease when traditi
31、onal operas fade away?”Overwhelmed by modern culture and entertainment such as movies, TV programs and pop music, traditional Chinese operas have been severely marginalized. Despite being included on the state-level Intangible Cultural Heritage list, some operas still have no place to perform.Becaus
32、e of the market slump (衰退) and low salaries, more traditional Chinese opera practitioners are finding other work, as are many directors and playwrights. Sun Jiazheng, chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, said traditional operas are important carriers of Chinese culture, and
33、should be preserved.The State Council issued a circular in July calling for the promotion and protection of traditional Chinese operas, saying that it would allocate financial support and extend preferential policies to opera troupes and schools.28.

37、eins general theory of relativity nearly 100 years ago. It was the theory of the physics behind the workings of our world and the universe.The idea was that the waves are like ripples in space, caused by some of the violent and energetic processes in the universe. For example, two black holes crashi
38、ng into each other.Now a group of scientists, including ones from Caltech, MIT and the LIGO Scientific, Collaboration finally found the gravitational waves.David Reitze is the executive director of the LIGO observatory at Caltech.“We have detected gravitational waves. We did it!”What are these gravi
39、tational waves?Well, imagine throwing a rock into a pond. When the rock hits the flat surface of the water, it creates ripples or waves. Space-time is like the surface of the water. So that means gravitational waves are like the ripples moving out from where the rock hits the water.It might be hard
40、to understand, but those gravitational waves expand and contract space and time as they move through space. And when they get to the Earth, the waves pass through, and they contract and expand the planet as the waves go by.It was Einstein who said these gravitational waves should be observable.But t
41、hese are not huge waves. They are very, very small, which is why it took so long to find them. You cannot see them with your eyes. They are smaller than the size of an atom.How did the scientists find them?They used a giant scientific tool called LIGO, which stands for the Laser Interferometer Gravi
42、tational-Wave Observatory. The billion-dollar LIGO project is two L-shaped observatories. One is in Louisiana and the other in Washington state.For years, scientists have been watching two black holes in another faraway galaxy. The two were spinning around each other, moving closer and closer togeth
43、er. When they finally crashed into each other, it was with such power and force that gravitational waves rang throughout the universe, like a giant bell.Those waves, traveling at the speed of light, finally reached the Earth, some l. 3 billion years later. They are the same waves that the scientists
44、 announced this past week.So, what does this discovery mean?Our understanding of the heavens changed dramatically.32. What are gravitational waves about?A. About the workings of the universe. B. About how black holes form.C. About how the universe began. D. About how the ripples form on the surface
45、of water.33. The underlined sentence “two black holes crashing into each other” is intended to express _.A. how the universe begins to exist B. how gravitational waves formC. how new black holes appear D. how the earth is affected34. Why are gravitational waves difficult to detect?A. Because they ar
46、e too small. B. Because they are far away.C. Because they seldom occur. D. Because they have disappeared.35. With the discovery of gravitational waves, well _.A. create a new world B. make full use of gravitational wavesC. view the universe in a new way D. avoid being hit by black holes第二节（共 5 小题：每小
