The long, lonely voyage of the Japanese ghost ship is over.
A US Coast Guard cutter poured cannon fire into an abandoned Japanese ghost ship that had been drifting since last year’s tsunami, sinking the vessel into waters more than 305 meters deep in the Gulf of Alaska and removing the danger it posed to shipping and the coastline on Thursday.
The cutter’s guns tore holes in the 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru, and then it began to take on water and lean to one side. In about four hours, the ship disappeared into the sea, said Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow.
The ship had no lights or communications system, and its tank was able to carry more than 7,570 liters of diesel fuel. Officials, however, didn’t know exactly how much fuel was aboard.
“It’s less risky than it would be running into shore or running into other ships,” coast guard spokesman Paul Webb said.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it is safer to sink the ship than let the fuel evaporate and pollute the sea environment.
Ryou-Un Maru was probably among the first wave of the 1.5 million tons of garbage of refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, roofs and fishing nets heading toward North America since last March when a magnitude-9.0 earthquake struck Japan.
As the coast guard was ready to fire on the vessel, a Canadian fishing vessel, the 19-meter Bernice C, claimed the rights to save the ghost ship in international waters.
Plans to sink it were paused so the Canadian crew could have a chance to take the stricken ship. A Canadian official with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press that the Bernice C was unable to drag it.
Then the Canadian boat left, and once it was about 10 kilometers from the Japanese vessel, the Coast Guard began to fire, first with 25 mm shells, then a few hours later with ammunition twice that size.
State officials have been working to test the danger of garbage including materials affected by a damaged nuclear power plant, to see if Alaska residents, seafood or wild animals could be affected.
1.Which of the following is NOT the reason for sinking the Japanese ship?
A.It had no lights or communications system.
B.It might be washed up onto the shore.
C.It was a danger to other passing ships.
D.The oil it carried could pollute the sea.
2.The plan to fire on the Japanese ghost ship was paused because ____________.
A.the ghost ship was beyond the reach of the Coast Guard’s guns
B.the shells were not powerful enough to sink the ghost ship
C.state officials worried the ghost ship might give out radiation
D.a(chǎn) Canadian fishing boat wanted to save the ghost ship
3.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A.Japanese ghost ship arriving at US
B.Tsunami garbage heading to US
C.Cannon fire sinking Japanese ghost ship
D.Japanese ghost ship polluting the Pacific

When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000 m race. My 36 was to pass out water to the runners. I remember being so excited to see all the different kinds of 37 who passed by and 38 a cup of water. The next year I signed up for the 39 and gave it a shot.

Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and, at its best, it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注目地)and leave no mark.
Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks.
Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite(野營地)seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.
Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary.
1.You needn’t ask for permission when camping in .
A.national parks in England |
B.most parts of Scotland |
C.crowded lowland Britain |
D.most parts of England |
2.The author thinks that a good campsite is one .
A.with easy access |
B.used previously |
C.with modern conveniences |
D.far away from beaches |
3.The last paragraph mainly deals with
A.protecting animals |
B.building a campfire |
C.camping in woodland |
D.finding a campsite with privacy |
4.The passage is mainly about
A.the protection of campsites |
B.the importance of wild camping |
C.the human influence on campsites |
D.the dos and don’ts of wild camping |

Every year, around 500,000 people from all parts of the world come to Monaco, nearly 25 times as much as its population.
