绿海龟是世界上最大的硬壳海龟，体重最重可达204公斤。
目前全世界80多个国家的海岸线上都有它们的踪迹。
现在就让我们一起去探知绿海龟的生活习性吧！Green Sea TurtlesGreen sea turtles are the world’s largest species of hardshelled seaturtle. While most of them weigh about 136 to 181 kilograms, some canbe as heavy as 204 kilograms.These turtles are found nesting along the coastline of more than 80countries, with the largest nesting populations found in Costa Rica and Australia.Green sea turtles spend most of their lives underwater, where they can rest for up to five hours at a time before coming up for air. Green sea turtles are also known to sunbathe(晒日光浴) on land.Unlike most other sea turtles, adult green sea turtles eat a primarily plantbased diet consisting of seaweed and sea grass. Scientists believe these green foods give the sea turtle’s fat its green color. The shell of the green sea turtle is usually a shade of brown or olive.Similar to other sea turtles, green sea turtles migrate long distances between their feeding grounds and their nesting sites, with recorded distances of longer than 2，600 kilometers.Female green sea turtles leave the water in order to lay eggs on the beach and will choose thesame nesting spot as where they were born. A female will dig out a nest and lay about 115 eggs. Then she’ll cove r the eggs with sand and return to the sea. After about two months, the babies will hatch(孵化) from their eggs.The first few years of a green sea turtle’s life are spent floating at sea, where they feed on plankton(浮游生物). As they grow older, the turtles move to waters along the coast where they find sea grass to eat.Adult green sea turtles face many threats, primarily from humans, including injuries from boats, being caught in fishing nets and pollution. Newly hatched sea turtles are also at risk of being hunted by animals such as birds, crabs, and raccoons as they move from their nests out to the sea.Section ⅠWarming Up & Reading—Comprehending重点单词写作词汇1.witness v t.当场见到；目击n. 目击者；证人；证据2.opposite prep. 在……对面adj. 相对的；相反的3.pause v i.& n. 暂停；中止4.teamwork n．协作；配合5.relationship n．关系；血缘关系；交往6.urge v t. 催促；极力主张；驱策7.meantime ad v. 其间；同时拓展词汇8.annual adj.每年的；按年度计算的n．年刊；年鉴→annually ad v.每年；一年一度地9.accommodation n．住所；住宿→accommodate v t.提供住宿10.flee v i.逃避；逃跑v t.逃离→fled(过去式)→fled(过去分词)11.drag v t.拖；拉；扯→dragged(过去分词)→dragging(现在分词)12.depth n．深(度)；深处→deep adj.深的→deepen v．加深13.abandon v t.放弃；遗弃；抛弃→abandoned adj.被遗弃的；放纵的14.conservation n．保存；保护→conserve v．保存阅读词汇15.anecdote n．轶事；奇闻16.shore n. 岸；海滨17.yell v i. 大叫；呼喊n. 叫声；喊声18.dive v i.& n．跳水(的动作)；潜水(的动作)；俯冲19.harpoon n.

Unit 3 Under the sea第一部分阅读(共两节，满分50分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
AI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house， and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America.We were on the bus then.I was crying， and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me.I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again.In fact， I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism(乐观)， but the idea did not come to me at once.For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what I should be.Mother remarried， and things became even more complex for me.Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.I was often sad，and saw no end to “the hard times”.My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters，filled out forms，translated at interviews with Immigration officers(移民局官员)， took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there，and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences I have learned one important rule：Almost all common troubles go away at last！ Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up， and just wait a little！ I believe that my life will turn out all right， even though it will not be that easy.( )1.How did the author get to know America？A.From radio programs.B.From books and pictures.C.From her mother.D.From her relatives.( )2.Upon leaving for America the author felt .( )3.For the first two years in New York，the author .A.often lost her wayB.did not think about her futureC.studied in three different schoolsD.got on well with her stepfather本文叙述的是作者搬到美国之后，生活的磨砺让作者从一个悲观失望的人变成了一个积极乐观的人。
