• 2．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）Why do blackwater divers use lights？

  
  A．To cause ocean creatures to come.
  B．To observe ocean creatures more clearly.
  C．To drive off large dangerous sea animals.
  D．To help them find their way in the ocean.
  （2）What scene moved Zhang Fan so much？

  
  A．Experiencing a volcanic eruption.
  B．The use of dynamite by fishing boats.
  C．Seeing charming sea turtles and glowing jellyfish.
  D．Noticing the fish he took photos of before remain there.
  （3）How can we describe Zhang's being hit by a sperm whale？

  
  A．He thought it exciting.
  B．He found it dangerous.
  C．He was not afraid of the whale at all.
  D．He fought against the whale bravely.

• 3．Nobel prize-winners，well-known authors，and famous scientists—you might think all these people were born to be creative.However，that's not always the case.
     While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth，famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as "late bloomers"—people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life.
     This idea of "peaking" at different times inspired new research from the United States. "Many people believe that creativity is exclusively （獨(dú)有地） associated with youth，but it really depends on what kind of creativity you're talking about，" said Bruce Weinburg，a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study.
     According to the study，published earlier this month in the journal De Economist，there are two types of people：conceptual （概念的） and experimental thinkers.
     To reach this conclusion，researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work，to identify their creative peaks.
     Some peaked from ages 25-29.Classified as conceptual thinkers，these people think outside of the box，coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things.
     The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s.These are experimental，thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time.This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes，before eventually finding new solutions.
     "Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach，" said Weinburg.He added that their study isn't limited to economics，saying it can apply to other creative subjects.So if you're struggling to come up with new ideas，don't panic.Your creative peak may be yet to arrive.
  
  （1）Why is famous American poet Robert Frost mentioned in paragraph 2？

  
  A．To indicate that some people showed their gifts in their late years.
  B．To indicate that some people showed their talents in their early years.
  C．To indicate that some people made great achievements with others' help.
  D．To indicate that some people did their most significant work through efforts.
  （2）How did the researchers draw the conclusion：there are two types of creative people？

  
  A．By referring to some data.
  B．By doing some experiments.
  C．By interviewing some creative people.
  D．By adopting the means of logic reasoning.
  （3）What can we learn about conceptual thinkers？

  
  A．They have been in their fields for a very long time.
  B．They prefer to use the conventional way of doing things.
  C．They are often young and think outside of the box.
  D．They learn from errors and experiment with different processes.
  （4）What does Weinberg probably agree with？

  
  A．It's difficult to find one's talent in later years.
  B．People's great creativity can come at any time.
  C．Most people take a conceptual approach when thinking.
  D．Conceptual thinkers could be more successful in the art field.
