The world’s seas and oceans support nearly half of all species on Earth, but we aren’t one of them. We can’t drink the salt water, walk on the surface, or breathe in it. Yet now, over one-third of the total human population, nearly 2.4 billion people, lives within 100 km of a coast.
Few people have a deeper connection with the sea than the Bajau Laut of Southeast Asia. Sometimes known as “sea gypsies”， they live in house boats or houses built on top of coral reefs(珊瑚礁) and when they do spend the night on the ground sometimes, they often report feeling “landsick”. Malaysia’s best Bajau freedivers can dive to depths of over 20 metres and stay there for several minutes on a single breath. Besides, studies on some “sea gypsy” children from Thailand and Burma show they have unusual good underwater eyesight because their eyes have adapted to the liquid environment.
The Bajau Laut’s livelihood is traditionally totally dependent on the resources of the sea, so fishing is vitally important to them, but different cultures have different ways of catching fish. In the waters off Laguna in Brazil, fishermen use dolphins to drive crowds of fish into their nets.When the fish are within catching distance, the dolphins leap out of the water as the sign to the fishermen that they should now throw their nets. The dolphins then stop the fish as they manage to escape from the nets.
But the ocean isn’t just about food. In ancient Hawaii, chiefs used surfing competitions to show off their power and skills. Nowadays big-wave surfers do the same, monitoring(监测) conditions around the world to ensure they are in the right place at the right time when the giants come rolling in.
If only we had a good relationship with the ocean.Sadly, it is now assessed that we may have removed as much as 90% of the ocean’s large fish. And since the ocean absorbs 50% of the carbon dioxide we release into the atmosphere, we are continually increasing the acidification(酸化) of the ocean.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了旧轮胎是如何处理的。
1．the 解析：考查冠词。in the past为固定搭配，意为“过去”。
2．were burnt/were burned 解析：考查动词的时态和语态。根据前面的时间状语可知，这里用一般过去时的被动语态。
3．neither 解析：考查代词。前文提到了两个处理方法，这里指代“两者都不”，故用neither。
4．gives 解析：考查主谓一致。主语是动名词短语，指“燃烧旧的橡胶轮胎”这件事情，故谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。give off意为“释放，发出”。
5．Throwing 解析：考查非谓语动词。作主语，故用动名词形式。 6．successfully 解析：考查副词。修饰动词，用副词形式。
7．details 解析：考查名词的数。根据语境可知，此处意为“详情，细节”。 8．to be treated 解析：考查动词不定式。根据语境可知，这里是动词不定式表示目的，且与主语they指代的old tires之间为被动关系，treat此处意为“(为了保护、保存等)处理”。
9．reusable 解析：考查形容词。根据语境可知，此处指可以再利用的材料，故填reusable。－able为后缀，意为“可以……的”。
10．Although/Though 解析：考查连词。这两个分句之间为让步关系，故填Although/Though。句意：尽管旧轮胎比煤炭多产25%的能量，但是旧轮胎也产出了很多污染物，会危害环境。
