Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Jellyfish have drifted along on ocean currents for millions of years，even before dinosaurs lived on the earth.They are common in cold and warm ocean water，in deep water，and along coastlines.Jellyfish have tiny cels in their tentacles(触手) to paralyze(麻痹) their prey before they eat them. There are many types of jellyfish in the ocean.These jellylike creatures move along on ocean currents.Inside their bellshaped body is an opening and that is their mouth.They eat and let off waste from this opening.As jellyfish squirt(喷出) water from their mouth they are moving forward.Tentacles hang down from the smooth bag-like body and sting(蜇) their prey. Jellyfish stings can be painful to humans and sometimes very dangerous.But jellyfish don’t purposely attack humans.Most stings occur when people accidentally touch a jellyfish，but if the sting is from a dangerous species，it can be deadly.The Australian box-like sea wasp is the most poisonous to humans. The lion’s mane jellyfish found in the North Atlantic has a bell which can reach two meters in diameter with tentacles as long as 33 meters.The poisonous animal is found floating on the surface of tropical ocean water and its sting is said to be as dangerous as a cobra’s bite. Jellyfish digest their food very quickly.They wouldn’t be able to float if they had to carry a large，undigested meal around for a long period.They dine on fish，shrimps，crabs，tiny plants，etc.and will even eat other species of jellyfish. Sea turtles enjoy the taste of jellyfish.Some jellyfish are clear and can look like a plastic bag in the water.Others are in brilliant colors such as pink，yellow，blue，and purple，and often are giving off lights. Chinese have fished for jellyfish for 1,700 years.They are considered a delicious dish and are used in Chinese medicine. 【解题导语】　水母种类繁多，分布于全球各地的水域里，本文主要对水母进行了介绍。 1．What would be the best title for the passage?
