模块综合测评 Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) A If you look down at our planet from outer space，most of what you see is water.In fact，oceans and seas cover more than 70 percent of the planets surface. Millions of years ago，there were no oceans on the earth.The surface of the earth was very hot，so water boiled away.As the earth cooled down，steam in the air began to fall down as rain.It rained and rained for many thousands of years and made the first seas on the earth. There are four oceans in the world — the Pacific Ocean，Atlantic Ocean，Indian Ocean，and Arctic Ocean，from the largest to the smallest.They are all connected to one another. Oceans are a large and wonderful world full of strange and interesting animals and plants.More than 275,000 kinds of fish and other animals live in the ocean.Most of them live in the surface waters because there is enough food there.But there are also some unique (独特的) animals in the deepest part of the ocean.Some animals live their whole life in the ocean (such as whales) and others can spend time in the ocean or on land (such as sea lions)．They are very important to our life. Believe it or not，half of the oxygen we breathe is produced by algae (藻类)，the oldest plants on earth! Each year we eat about 29 million tons of fish，much more than cattle，sheep and eggs.Without the oceans，we cannot live! 1．The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.
