解析：
（1）根据前文“the ocean covers over 70 per cent of the earth”和后文“It helps us in many ways.”可知海洋在很多方面帮助人类，是很重要的，A选项“海洋非常重要”符合语境，引出下文对海洋重要性的具体阐述。
（2）根据前文“The ocean is like the earth's lungs (肺).”可知把海洋比作地球的肺，肺主要功能是呼吸产生氧气，D选项“它制造了世界上一半以上的氧气”符合把海洋比作肺的语境。
（3）根据前文“By using these canals, people can move things from one country to another.”提到用运河运输东西，后文“Thanks to the canals, you can have all kinds of chocolate from other different countries.”说多亏了运河能收到不同国家的东西，F选项“这通常比用飞机运输东西更便宜”进一步说明用运河运输的好处，符合语境。
（4）根据后文“It takes in and stores heat (储存热量) from the sun. Then the water in the ocean carries that heat around the earth.”可知海洋吸收储存太阳热量并运输热量，C选项“海洋也使地球保持温暖”能概括本段内容，符合语境。
（5）根据前文“Besides, the ocean gives us different kinds of food.”提到海洋给我们不同种类的食物，E选项“我们可以享受很多海鲜”符合语境，且与后文“所以我们需要保护海洋”衔接自然。

四、阅读表达
Stay where you are, Mr Sand
The Taklimakan Desert is the biggest desert in China. It is really huge, about 337,000 square kilometres. That's as big as three Zhejiang Provinces put together!
The sand here is light and soft. When strong winds blow, the sand flies, and the desert moves! Its edge moved forward 5 to 10 metres every year in the past. The desert could cover roads, farms and even people's homes.
But now, we are working hard to stop it. In 2024, China finished a 3,046 - kilometre green belt around the Taklimakan Desert.
How do we stop the sand?
Straw (稻草) squares
We stick straws into the sand to make big squares. These squares help keep the sand in place. Trees and flower seeds can grow safely inside.
Sand barriers
We build 1 - metre - tall walls with straws and wires. They slow down the wind.
Deep roots
Trees and flowers grow roots deep into the ground. The roots hold the sand even harder.
Solar power
We turn solar power into electricity. Then, machines can take water from underground to water plants. Now you can find roses, onions, red dates (红枣) and even more plants in the desert!
Look at the great changes! We can hold back the desert and make life bloom. Let's all help protect this precious land and nature everywhere. Save water, plant trees, and care for our planet!
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过7个词。
1. How big is the Taklimakan Desert?
2. What did China do with the desert in 2024?
3. How many ways to stop the sand are mentioned?
4. What can we find in the desert with solar power?
5. How do you like the changes in the Taklimakan Desert?
