I think that Jill Heinerth dives into the ocean depths and explores caves that no one else has ever been to before.
1 В (one of world’s top cave divers; had her photos published worldwide; won awards for her documentaries; got the world record for distance travelled underground; first woman to cave dive in Antarctic)
2 D (even though she didn’t know if there were any (caves) there)
3 A (“We found a dazzling world of sea stars and other curious creatures.”)
4 D (it was only later that she found out that a piece of ice had crashed into the entrance to the cave. If she had been near, she would have been killed … were trapped by strong currents and only managed to escape by… Just two hours later, the iceberg shattered)
5 C (Jill freely embraces her fear… we mustn’t avoid doing things that frighten and challenge us… if you don’t chase fear, then you’ll be running away from it for the rest of your life)
6 В (her work may affect future space missions… One day NASA hopes to send… 3D mapping device to the underwater caves of Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter)

trapped = unable to escape
massive = huge

a)
We use the causative when we have arranged for someone else to do something for us.
Example in text: She has had her stunning photographs published worldwide. (1.4-5)
b)
2 Jill has had her equipment checked.
3 She will have her new diving mask delivered tomorrow.
4 Greg had his swollen ankle examined by the doctor.
5 Nick is having his wetsuit repaired.
A: Hello Jill and welcome to the show.
B: Thank you.
A: So, tell us what you do for a living.
B: Well, I go on expeditions to explore underwater caves.
A: That sounds amazing. You’ve broken some records, haven’t you?
B: Yes, I have. I broke the world record for distance travelled underground, spending 21 hours underwater and I became the first woman to cave dive in the Antarctic, too.
A: Now that was the expedition that really made your name, wasn’t it, Jill?
B: Yes, that’s right. I explored the caves in the largest iceberg on the planet there, B-15.
A: What was that experience like, Jill?
B: Hard to describe, really. We found a dazzling underwater world there of sea stars and other amazing creatures. It was quite dangerous, though.
A: Really? Why’s that?
B: Well, while we were in the cave, a piece of ice crashed into the entrance. We were trapped by strong currents, too, and only managed to escape by pulling ourselves along by finding handholds in the ice wall. Just two hours later, the iceberg shattered.
A: Doesn’t this kind of incident put you off cave diving, Jill?
B: No, not at all. I think we should face our fears.
A: That’s great. Jill, could your work affect future space missions?
B: Absolutely. A 3D mapping device might be used on a mission to the underwater caves of Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter.
A: That’s very interesting. Thank you so much for coming on the show today, Jill. I wish you good luck with all your future expeditions and other plans.
B: Thank you so much. It’s been a pleasure.
