.Unlike real inland seas,the Atlantic Ocean is ________.
A.always energetic
B.lacking in liveliness
C.shaped like a square
D.favored by ancient poets
解析 细节理解题。从第一段中的“Unlike real inland seas,which seem strangely still,the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.”可知,liveliness(精力充沛,活跃)与energetic近义,故答案为A项。
答案 A.What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?
A.To describe the movement of the waves.
B.To show the strength of the storm.
C.To represent the power of the ocean.
D.To prove the vastness of the sea.
解析 推理判断题。从诗歌下面的一段“As the poem suggests,the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that moves,impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise-it is forever thundering,boiling,crashing,and whistling.”可知,这首诗主要向我们描述了海洋的强大力量。
答案 C.What does the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?
A.Living together.
B.Growing fast.
C.Moving harmoniously.
D.Breathing peacefully.
解析 词义猜测题。划线单词所在的句子后边用了冒号,后边的内容是对前边句子的解释,从下文“unimaginable quantities of creatures,little and large alike,mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony”中的mix within等字眼可知,划线单词意为“共生的”,故A项符合要求。
