Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at the Louisville, Kentucky Experimental Kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the headmaster of the same school, together wrote a song for the children, called Good Morning to All. As the local expert on spiritual songs, and as the organist（风琴师） for her church, Mildred combined her musical talents with her sisters knowledge in the area of Kindergarten Education, Good Morning to All was sure to be a success.The sisters published the song in a collection named Song Stories of the Kindergarten in 1893.Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia Universitys Teacher College, a gentleman by the name of Robert H. Coleman published the song, without the sisterspermission. What was worse, he added a second verse（歌词） Happy Birthday to You.Mr. Colemans addition of the second verse made the song become well known and, gradually, the sisters original first verse disappeared.

A team of professional researchers were trying to learn more about the fish and other animals that live in this part of the sea. The Flower Gardens are a long way from the shore(海岸) and we spent three days on a boat.The team used a piece of underwater equipment to collect information. This underwater equipment is called a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). The ROV could measure water depth and temperature and it also had a camera that sent live film back to the boat. The ROV was great fun. It was controlled by a computer on the boat, and I was allowed to operate it a few times.However, the thing I enjoyed most was diving into the water. At first, I was quite frightenedmainly because I couldnt see land in any direction. But as soon as I jumped into the water, I wasnt afraid anymore. It was amazing to see the colourful fish swimming around and I could see all the way to the Flower Gardens, which are almost 30 metres down.I will never forget the Flower Gardens. The trip was like a holiday but I also learnt new things about science and research projects. The team were very friendly and everyone was happy to explain what they knew about the sea. It was a great opportunity and it has made me think about my goals in life. The experience will surely encourage me to work harder to become a scientist.（1） When did the writer take part in an underwater research project? （2） What were the researchers trying to learn about in the Flower Gardens? （3） Why did the team use the ROV? （4） What did the writer enjoy most in the project? （5） What is the passage mainly about? 五、 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，共15分） (共1题；共15分)14. （15分） (2019七上太原期末) 完形填空 Tom is a student in No. 5 Middle School.
