Unlike many surfers who sought the perfect wave, my interests always lay beneath the sea’ s surface in a world I could only imagine and dream of．When I was twelve， I made my first adventures in the deep．Later I would learn how to dive， expanding my world of exploration many times over．
Perhaps the greatest turning point in my life came when I was in high school and I wrote a letter to the famous Scripps Oceanographic Institution, asking how I might learn more about the sea．A kind scientist answered my letter and told me how to apply to Scripps for a summer scholarship, which I received．During one of their courses that summer, I met Dr．Robert Norris， a marine geologist．He loved the sea almost as much as I did．Soon he suggested I consider his school, the University of California， for my study．One year later I became a member of the freshman class．个人收集整理，勿做商业用途
Now my love affair with the sea became a serious endeavor．If I wanted to be an undersea explorer， I needed to learn as much as I could about the laws of the physical world that controlled the environment I wanted to enter．The undersea world is not our natural world．It is unforgiving to those who make mistakes．At its greatest depths the water temperature is near freezing, the pressure is eight tons per square inch， and it is totally dark．It is easy to get lost in such a world．I needed to learn a lot about geography， navigation, geology， biology, and many other things．本文为互联网收集，请勿用作商业用途
I decided another important thing for me to do was to join the U．S．Navy．If I was going to be an undersea explorer, I would have to lead men and women on dangerous adventures where they might get hurt， and I didn’t want that to happen．
In the Navy I learned discipline， organization, and how to motivate and lead people on adventures so that we could explore the wonders of the deep．
Finally, the time came to put all that I had learned to use, to go forth with a team of men and women and explore ?an adventure I am still on and hope to be on for many years to come．
59．What happened to the author at the age of twelve？
A．He dreamed about undersea exploration．
B．He began to swim under the deep water．
C．He surfed on big waves for the first time．
D．He learned to dive off the cliffs．
60．In college， the author took many different types of courses because he
A．was told it was easy to get lost in exploration
B．was advised to take them by Dr．Robert Norris
C．thought they were needed to fully understand the ocean
D．believed it would help him succeed in the Navy

61．The author joined the Navy to ______．
A．develop his leadership skills
B．get along with people under stress
C．learn about the dangers of the ocean
D．gather specific information about ocean life
62．Which word can best describe the author？
A．Imaginative． B．Optimistic． C．Independent． D．Ambitious．
C
Some wonderfully creative uses of X-rays have been in the world of art．But the most impressive one is to uncover what has been covered up．Details unfolded by an X-ray of a painting can ’ t be seen any other way．For example, in the past, paintings were often repaired if small pieces of paint fell off the canvas （帆布)． These repairs cannot be seen just by looking at the painting．It takes an X—ray to discover where the repairs have been made．
An X—ray of a painting is one of the best ways to tell if it was created by a famous painter or if it is a forgery．If there is a question as to whether an old master has painted a certain painting or not, X—rays are made and compared to those of paintings that are known to be original．If the brushstrokes (笔迹） , for example， are shown to be totally different than in other work done by a certain artist, then the painting is proved to be a fake copy．
Since modern paints are usually made from different materials than paints of hundreds of years ago， the image they leave on an X—ray film looks different．This is another way X—rays can be used to spot a forgery．A modem artist will try to make a forgery look hundreds of years old by painting dirty vamish on it or by using artificial means to get the varnish to look cracked．To the naked eye the forgery may look old, but when a careful study of the X-ray image is made， the deception is obvious．
It was common many years ago for an artist to finish a painting, decide it wasn’t any good， and paint a completely different picture on top of it．Or artists would paint over others' work —it was their version of recycling．Taking an X-ray is the only way to find out if there is a picture underneath the picture you see with your eyes．Sometimes museums will be more interested in the painting beneath than the one on top, and will restore the older one by having the top layer painstakingly removed．
63．What is the main purpose of the article?
A．To provide information to police who are looking for stolen art．
B．To persuade art dealers to check for fake copies before selling art．
C．To explain how modern technology can be applied in unique ways．
D．To help artists restore damaged artwork to its original appearance．
64．According to the passage．X-rays are used to ______．
A．make repairs on paintings in the past
B．identify the authenticity of an artwork
C．change the materials of a forgery
D．remove the recyclable paints
65．In Paragraph 3， the word "deception" probably means ______．
A．comparison B．drawback C．trickery D．judgement
66．Whic
