閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中選出最佳選項。

Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的) shoes they designed and created.
Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, who wore big boat-like shoes, also won last year and will receive $500.
Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for a special course. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard (硬紙板) for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,” Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”
A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the neighborhood. The youngest person to ever took part was a 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67-year-old woman. A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.
“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better,” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.
“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research, test it and go through the design process seriously.
（1）What can we learn about Alex Quinones?
A.He finished the race in less than a minute.
B.He won the race with the help of 2 boats.
C.He failed the race last year.
D.He set a new record this year.
（2）For what purpose did the students join in the race?
A.To go across the lake to school.
B.To test their balance on the water.
C.To earn a good grade for a course.
D.To win the prize money of $500.
（3）What can we learn according to the fourth paragraph?
A.More than 20 teams failed to cross the lake.
B.The students who fell into the water had to quit.
C.The students kept silent when the other racers competed.
D.The youngest competitor competed instead of her mother.
（4）According to Canaves, this race can help the students ________.
A.understand designing better
B.achieve almost everything
C.work together and unite as one
D.walk on the surface of water

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項 （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，選出最佳選項。

The pillage (掠奪) and destruction of ancient shipwrecks and sunken archaeological sites by treasure hunters seeking gold and other valuables may be illegal under the terms of an international treaty under discussion by UNESCO's 188 Member States.
"Protecting our underwater heritage is extremely important and increasingly urgent as no site or shipwreck is now out of bounds for treasure hunters. New technologies have made deep-water wrecks easily accessible and these technologies are getting cheaper," warns Lyndel Prott.
According to estimates by commercial salvors (尋寶者), there are some three million undiscovered shipwrecks scattered across the world's oceans. Even the figures for the known wrecks are impressive. The Northern Shipwrecks Database for example contains 65,000 ship loss records for North America alone from 1500 AD to the present. The Dictionary of Disasters at Sea by Charles Hocking (1969) lists 12,542 sailing ships and war vessels lost between 1824 and 1962.
Then there are sunken cities such as the trading town and pirate stronghold(海盜堡壘) of Port Royal in Jamaica, which disappeared beneath the waves after an earthquake in 1692. Or the remnants of ancient civilisations, such as the Lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt, and the Neolithic villages being discovered under the Black Sea, which some believe could help explain Noah's great flood.
These treasures of cultural heritage are under serious threat. Technology now allows extraordinary access to the ocean depths for determined and well-financed treasure hunters. And the potential rewards are huge. In 1985, American salvor Mel Fisher discovered the wreck of the Seora de Atocha, a Spanish ship that sank off the Florida Keys in 1622 with her cargo of gold, silver and jewellery worth an estimated US $400 million.
An archaeologist can spend ten years or more studying a ship, conserving its objects and publishing its findings. We gain an enormous amount of information and knowledge from this work. With treasure hunters, all of this is lost. This is tragic, for humanity as a whole.
（1）Why is it important and urgent to protect our underwater heritage?
A.Underwater heritage is easily accessible to treasure hunters.
B.Underwater heritage is out of reach of archaeologists.
C.New technology makes protection of underwater heritage easier.
D.There is no law to protect underwater heritage.
（2）What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.Shipwrecks discovered by commercial salvors.
B.The main cause of shipwrecks.
C.The history of sunken ships.
D.The figures of shipwrecks around the world.
（3）What happened to Port Royal in 1692?
A.It was washed away by flood.
B.It was beneath the waves after an earthquake.
C.It was discovered under the Black Sea.
D.It was rebuilt by Noah.
（4）Why is Mel Fisher mentioned in the fifth paragraph?
A.He risked his life in treasure hunting.
B.He was one of the most successful commercial salvors.
C.He made a great discovery of shipwrecks.
D.He had no trouble in finding a shipwreck.
