When you think of seafood, which place will come to your mind Qingdao, Xiamen or Weihai But you may never think of Xinjiang for sure. Recently, fishery products produced in Xinjiang has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水) into the sea.
In Nilka County in Xinjiang, about 6, 000 tons of rainbow trout, a kind of fish, will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belongs to the same family as salmon, which is a kind of well-known seafood. It tastes like salmon too.
Why do farmers there choose to grow fish The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the rivers are fed by meltwater (融水) from the Tianshan Mountains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10℃. As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’ s a “comfortable” home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company said.
To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cage(网箱) that are good for the environment. The nets are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river.
Meanwhile, in Xinjiang, whiteleg shrimp, another kind of fish, can also grow well. Saline soil (盐碱土) covers a large part of the desert where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water.
Scientists then decided to create “seawater” with the salty water by adding in some other chemicals (化学物质). Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea.
Thanks to the rich natural resources (资源) in Xinjiang and the wisdom of the scientists, salmon. Shrimps and many other kinds of “seafood” can become a delicacy (佳肴) on the dining tables not only in Xinjiang homes, but also across the nation, which protects us from nuclear-contaminated water at the same time.
12．How does the writer start the passage
A．By making an explanation. B．By asking questions.
B．By giving an example. D．By listing numbers.
13．To avoid water pollution caused by growing fish, the company ______.
①clean the water with machines ②grows one kind of fish once a year
③ use environment-friendly net cages ④ cuts down the fish production
A．①③ B．③④ C．①②③ D．②③④
14．What can you infer from this passage
A．Life will not be different without seafood. B．Japan won’t let out nuclear-contaminated water.
C．China won’ t be short of fishery products. D．Xinjiang is rich in natural resources.
15．Which of the following is the best title of this passage
A．The Reasons to Grow “Seafood” in Xinjiang.
B．Xinjiang “Seafood” or Japanese Seafood.
C．Different Kinds of “Seafood” in Xinjiang.
D．Xinjiang “Seafood”-A New Choice for Chinese People.

I have come to realize that life is a journey. Whether we choose to keep moving around, or we choose to stay in one place, we are on a journey. That journey is not an easy one 21 every day it makes us face new problems in new ways.
When I was a little boy, I liked moving around. I always looked forward to the next trip away or the next holiday. Maybe it is because I lived in a small and 22 town. How I wanted the school holidays when I could go to the coast! There I met with friends and my cousins, and had so 23 fun. I also met new people and sometimes we would travel together exploring (探索) different towns and beachside places.

Then you will stay in the same town, choosing one place to live and one job to remain in. There again you are challenged to face life, doing things 29 paying your bills and trying hard to get along well with your boss. You have to keep on at your job when you 30 giving it all up and traveling again.
