    Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two—thirds of the world's population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.

    In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive (=continue to live). Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man's needs.

    The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined (开采).

    Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish (贝类动物) is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people.

    Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents (水流) and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.

    Technology is enabling man to explor ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.

    The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.

(1)、The major things that the sea offers man are ______.
A、fish and oil B、minerals and oil C、warm temperature and ocean currents D、the food, energy sources, and minerals
(2)、The sea serves the needs of man because ______.

A、the sea resources have largely been used up B、the sea, in the broad sense, has not yet been developed C、the problems that prevent us from using the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea have already been solved. D、by the year 2000, the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources
(4)、The underlined words "Oriental people" in the fourth paragraph probably mean ______.
A、the people in Asia B、African people C、European people D、American people
(5)、The best title for this passage is ______.
A、Sea Harvest B、Sea Food C、Technology for Exploiting the Sea D、Man and the Sea

    More than 1,000 different kinds of pieces of plastic, including 115 cups, 25 bags, four bottles and two pairs of shoes, have been found inside a dead whale(鲸鱼) in Indonesia, according to local officials.

    When the whale was found on the island, it was already decomposing when animal doctors arrived. So they were unable to be sure if the plastic caused its death, said Lukas, the leader of the World Wildlife Fund in Indonesia. The plastic weighed about 6 kilograms, or 13 pounds, he said.

    But pictures of the dead whale caused a warm discussion. The people in the country have started to realize that it is because of using too much plastic. So has the government. Indonesia, a nation of about 260 million people was the world's second-biggest producer of plastic waste in 2018, behind only China.

    If the whales eat too much plastic, they will have a wrong feeling. They think that they are full. And that will lead them to eat less food that provides all the good things they need, said Nicholas who is the leader of the Ocean Conservancy. Moreover, eating too much plastic can make them reduce their weight, their energy and slow down their swimming. As a result, whales are easier to be hurt by the sharks and many other dangerous animals in the sea.

    More than 800 kinds of animals in the sea are affected by about 8.8 million tons of plastic which is thrown away freely in the ocean each year. Plastic can also stop the animals moving freely and sometimes they will cause them to die because they have to be under the water for too long. Some plastic can make a small hole in their stomachs after they eat it.

The Taojinshan Greenway in Shenzhen has been open to citizens since July, 2019, Sitting at the west side of Shenzhen Reservoir, it is as long as 7.07 kilometres.

With plants along both sides and lakes lying at different sites, tourists can enjoy the beauty of nature all the way. If they are tired, they are free to take a rest at the 3 stops. Besides, five unused guard posts(岗亭) along the old route have remained. They are sightseeing platforms for visitors to feel the culture behind the place.

Of all its 13 scenic spots, 8 had AI helpers. From them, visitors can gain information on parking, tour guide services and more. The smart greenway, with free Wi-Fi, also provides environmental date, such as temperature, wind speed and air quality. What's more, it can give visitors warnings of coming extreme(极端的)weather and natural disasters, including rainstorms and typhoons that may hit Shenzhen.

"Started in the middle of 2015, the building process of the Taojinshan Greenway has taken good care of the wildlife and environment nearby," said Yang Shiming, an official in charge of the project.

The greenway is an example of construction

 (建筑) projects without doing harm to nature. It also shows the role that technology plays in building a smart greenway for more life convenience.
