While most photographers put their cameras away when the night's dark curtain falls，Zhang Fan gathers his equipment and starts his blackwater diving adventure.
Blackwater diving involves photographing small，free-floating ocean creatures that move up to the ocean's surface after dark or in any area where there is seemingly no bottom.
Still quite new in China，blackwater diving dates back to the early 1980s in Hawaii，the US.The process generally requires the photographer to hang lights about every five meters down from a buoy （浮標(biāo)），letting it drift in deep waters to attract his subjects.
"The experience is amazing.Diving into the depths of the ocean makes me feel like I'm floating in infinite space with luminous （發(fā)光的） ocean creatures shining like stars，" Zhang told China Daily.
From small eel larva to big，fierce great white sharks，from charming sea turtles to glowing jellyfish，each of Zhang's underwater photographs has a "wow" factor.But the story behind each photo adds more emotional value to the work itself.
"It is like meeting an old neighbor，" the 35-year-old photographer recalled，speaking of the touching moment when he returned to a location after a long time only to see the fish he previously photographed still there.
While the underwater world may seem fascinating，it's not always a fairy tale.
Zhang said that he encountered many dangerous moments underwater，including being hit by a sperm whale，experiencing a volcanic eruption and the use of dynamite （炸藥） by fishing boats.
But what fascinated him most is that he can witness big and small changes in the ocean and what these changes can tell him about nature.
"Corals are among the first indicators of climate change.With the rise in temperature，corals have experienced a process called 'bleaching （漂白）'，during which they lose their color and are dying.It is heartbreaking，" he explained.
This risky but charming art has helped Zhang attract loads of fans.His Sina Weibo account has more than 430，000 followers.He hopes that his photos and videos can act as a wake-up call to protect our oceans.
"I hope to raise awareness on ocean conservation and protection and that more people can enjoy the beauty of the ocean，" Zhang told China Daily.

1．Nuclear bombs.That's the go-to answer for incoming space objects like asteroids（小行星） and comets，as far as Hollywood is concerned.Movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon rely on nuclear weapons，delivered by stars like Bruce Willis，to save the world and deliver the drama.
But planetary defense experts say in reality，if astronomers spotted a dangerous incoming space rock，the safest and best answer might be something more subtle，like simply pushing it off course by crashing it with a small spacecraft.
That's just what NASA did on Monday evening，when a spacecraft headed straight into an asteroid called Dimorphous，which is around 7 million miles away and poses no threat to Earth.It's about 525 feel across and orbits another larger asteroid.
In images streamed as the impact neared，the egg-shaped asteroid grew in size from a little spot on screen to have its full rocky surface come quickly into focus before the signal went dead as the craft hit right on target.
Events happened exactly as engineers had planned，they said，with nothing going wrong. "As far as we can tell，our first planetary defense test was a success，" said Elena Adams，the mission systems engineer，who added that scientists looked on with "both terror and joy" as the spacecraft neared its final destination.
The impact was the peak of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test （DART） ，a 7-year and more than ﹩300 million effort which launched a space vehicle in November of 2021 to perform humanity's first ever test of planetary defense technology.It will be about two months，scientists said，before they will be able to determine if the impact was enough to drive the asteroid slightly off course，probably shortening its original orbit.
NASA plans to launch an asteroid-hunting space telescope named NEO Surveyor in 2026. "We've tacked lots of space rocks，especially the larger ones that could cause extinction-level events.Thankfully，none currently threaten Earth.But many asteroids the size of Dimorphous haven't yet been discovered，and those could potentially take out a city if they came crashing down." explains Lindley Johnson，NASA's Planetary Defense Officer.
（1）How did scientists know the craft hit the asteroid successfully？
A．The signal from the craft was lost as it hit the target.
B．They recorded the whole process with a telescope.
C．The little spot on the screen suddenly disappeared.
D．They monitored the craft with satellites in space.
（2）What is the purpose of launching the spacecraft？
A．To search for evidence of alien life.
B．To end the asteroid's threat to Earth.
C．To save the world and deliver a drama.
D．To test technology for defending Earth.
（3）What can be inferred about Dimorphous？
A．It is a dangerous incoming space rock.
B．It is an egg-shaped asteroid around Earth.
C．It may orbit the same asteroid after the hit.
D．It is expected to blow up after the impact.
（4）Which statement will Lindley Johnson probably agree with？
A．Asteroids are equally destructive whatever the size.
B．NEO Surveyor is aimed to track smaller asteroids.
C．Larger asteroids will no longer threaten Earth.
D．NASA is responsible for the safety of Earth.發(fā)布：2024/12/11 2:0:1組卷：6引用：4難度：0.5 -
