阅读理解 Scientist Fabien Cousteau went out of the Atlantic Ocean and took in a deep breath of fresh air. It was the first time in 31 days he had been above the ocean's surface. Cousteau had been living in an underwater science lab called Aquarius. It's located 63 feet below the surface, off the coast of the Florida Keys. 50 years ago Fabien Cousteau's grandfather, the legendary ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau, led a similar—but shorter by one day expedition under the surface of the Red Sea. Since then, we have explored only a very small portion of the oceans, less than 5%. His grandfather was one of the first ocean explorers. 31 days beneath the waves is now the longest time anyone has spent under the ocean. But he wasn't just trying to break his grandfather's record. He was there to learn more about life in the ocean. For 31 days, a team of more than 30 people, including researchers and filmmakers, joined Cousteau. They took turns staying with him for several days at a time. The intent of the Mission 31: study the life of and on the coral reef, the effects of climate change, acidification, and pollution, in particular by plastic debris and oil spills. But it was also a study of the scientists themselves spending extended time underwater. By staying down continuously, they collected the equivalent of several years of scientific data in just a month. Aquarius is the world's only underwater science lab. It's about the size of a school bus. It has a kitchen, a bathroom, and six bunk beds that face a window. Cousteau and his team posted many videos online. He hopes his month-long stay will encourage others to study and help protect life in the ocean. （1） What can we learn about Aquarius from the passage? A . It's a science lab on the coast of the Florida Keys. B . It's located sixty-three feet underwater. C . It's the world's only science lab. D . It's as big as a minibus. （2） Why did Cousteau live underwater for 31 days? A . To do some scientific research. B . To become the first ocean explorer. C . To make a film.    D . To break his grandfather's record. （3） What can we know from the passage? A . Cousteau stayed in the lab by himself. B . Cousteau stayed in the lab with some researchers for 31 days. C . Cousteau and his team have known how pollution affects ocean life. D . The aim of Cousteau's month-long stay is to call on people to protect the life in the ocean. （4） What's the best title of the passage? A . How to Protect the Life in the Ocean B . A Month Under the Sea C . An Underwater Science Lab D . An Exciting Trip Under the Sea 答案： B A D B
