A
Saving Our Oceans
●Your Mission
Teach oceanographers(海洋学者)with different specialties about other ocean specialties and thus create a better understanding of the ocean as a complete, diverse system.
● Briefing
You've been invited to lead the International Oceanographic Conference in Oslo, Norway. Over one hundred of your fellow oceanographers will attend it. The problem is, with so many different specialties in the field-from geological to biological oceanography-the oceanographers at the conference are finding it difficult to understand what their colleagues are studying, let alone to grasp the ocean as an entire, diverse system!
Your job will be to give the opening speech at the Conference outlining the general kinds of oceanography in a way that each type of oceanographers will understand. Then, you will assign different oceanographers to different projects and explain to them how best to work together.
● Family-x file
Younger Xpeditioners: Pick one project, and learn more about it through its photo gallery. Then, create a poster based on the animals and terrain(地形). Make sure to
label each animal that you draw. Show your poster to your family and describe to them what you have drawn.
Older Xpeditioners: Learn more about each of the projects: Where in the ocean would oceanographers go to study them? What animals might oceanographers study in the project? Which types of oceanographers would you assign for each project and how would they work together?
Finally, think about the ways in which the different general kinds of oceanography might relate. Why is it important to look at the ocean as an entire system, rather than as distinct parts? How might looking at each separate part and the ocean as a whole impact conservation efforts? Practice your speech for the Conference in front of your family.
21. What is your mission according to the text?
A. To save the oceans all over the earth.
B. To attend the International Oceanographic Conference in Norway.
C. To enter for an activity with one hundred fellow oceanographers.
D. To help better understand the ocean as a complete, diverse system.
22. Where can you get the detailed instructions for you in advance?
A. From the leader of the conference. B. From Younger Xpeditioners.
C. From the part of Briefing. D. From Older Xpeditioners.
23. How should you prepare your speech according to the text?
A. Practice it at home with the family in front.
B. Ask a lot of questions about the oceans.
C. Create a poster to get informed.
D. Invite other oceanographers to take part.
B
I have been teaching the tenth-grade English for four years. Needless to say, I love my subject and vowed to one day impart(透露) my love of literature to my future students. Well, I must admit, I have made more than a difference. I have changed the way students perceive(感知) literature and have even inspired some to become English teachers.
One student in particular is named John. I met him last year when he was a student in my English class during the eighth period. He sat in the back often, saying very little. However, I sensed that he was taking in all that I taught. John was never absent nor was he late. He seemed very mature for his age.
As the year progressed, we read lots of poetry and various stories about different cultures and real-life experiences. I have always wanted literature to speak to my students so that they could find relevant connections which would finally give them that motivation to read, write and interpret. While reading and writing poetry, John wrote some beautiful poetry that spoke of his experiences as a black male in America.
On the last day of school, students were asked to write a brief autobiographical essay and to dedicate(献给) it to someone he or she thought was significant in his or her life. John dedicated his essay to me and used clip art that decorated the dedication with roses.
He stated in the essay that "some people you meet in life are flowers, but then there are those who are roses. Ms. Hopkins, Ijust want you to know that you are a rose in my life and I have enjoyed every minute of being in your class. You have shown me that I have purpose in life and that I am a poet. I will never forget you." Tears streamed down my eyes. I had had a particularly hard personal life that year and somehow that letter made it worth the struggle.
Making a significant contribution to someone's life is something money could never buy. Teaching allows teachers to make a positive difference in the life of someone.
24. What's the author's purpose to take John for example?
A. To show that her students were all excellent readers.
B. To develop her own idea about English literature.
C. To prove what she had just said was true.
D. To persuade her readers to change their minds.
25. Why did John choose to dedicate his autobiographical essay to Ms. Hopkins?
A. He thought she was significant in his life.
B. He wanted to say to her that she was a red rose.
C. He expected her to know he had enjoyed her class.
D. He remembered she had promised to let him be a poet.
26. What kind of person was the author according to the text?
A. Gentle. B. Passionate. C. Humorous. D. Indifferent.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for this text?
A. The difference a good teacher can make
B. The friendship Ms. Hopkins and John developed
C. An experience only Ms. Hopkins and her students could have
D. The significant contribution everyone can make
C
Zach Bonner knows just how far trying can get you. Earlier this month the eleven-year-old completed his biggest charity project to date. He walked almost two thousand kilometers from his home in Florida to Washington D.C. to raise money for homeless children in America. Zach called his project "From My House to the White House". He carried a message to the American president and lawmakers. He asked for help for the homeless children in the United States. The walk raised tens of thousands of dollars for Zach's cause.
His mother says Zach has always enjoyed community service work. It began when Hurricane Charley hit Florida in 2014. Zach decided to help victims by walking around his area with his little red wagon collecting and giving out bottles of water. He got the nickname "Little Red Wagon Boy". Now, "Little Red Wagon" is the name of Zach's foundation. It has raised money for playgrounds and shelters for homeless children. Zach also gives out thousands of backpacks. He fills each "Zachpac" with a toy, personal cleaning supplies, socks, sewing supplies, a first-aid kit and food.
Zach has won many awards, met several presidents and been on television. But that is not why he wants to help people. Zach Bonner says if you have a good heart you have to use it. And, he says, charity work is a lot of fun.
Eighteen-year-old Christina Johnson and her older sister Geneva started their project, "Bring It On" in the Bronx area of New York City in 2014. They wanted to improve the place where they lived. The area was so dangerous that their parents would
not let them play outside.
The girls started a program to empower children in their community. "Bring It On" organizes environmental "jams" to clean up waste in the area. The group also holds classes and talks on health, leadership, how to set up small businesses and other issues. "Bring It On" receives money and other support from local businesses and other sponsors.
28. Which of the following is NOT true about Zach Bonner?
A. He had persuaded his mother to work with him.
B. His walk helped raise a large amount of money.
C. He won his nickname by helping the victims with a little red wagon.
D. He enjoyed himself in doing community service work.
29. Why was Zach Bonner's foundation started?
A. To ask the American president and lawmakers for help.
B. To win awards and appear on television.
C. To have a lot of fun with other people.
D. To raise money for homeless children.
30. What does the underlined phrase "empower children" in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Give children the power to do anything. B. Take control of children.
C. Enable children to live safely. D. Stop children playing with each other.
31. What can be inferred according to the text?
A. "Little Red Wagon" and "Bring It On" are the nicknames of youths.
B. Young people are leading the way in volunteering in the United States.
C. The girls started their program to find lost children in their community.
D. Christina Johnson and Geneva are making efforts to raise money.
D
Companion planting is the idea that when some crops are planted together, they help each other grow. The compatible plants generally have similar needs for nutrients, soil and moisture.
Advice for companion plantings is sometimes based more on tradition than proof. But Fabian Fernandez at the University of Illinois says there is evidence for some combinations. These can lead to better crops, reduce disease and help with pest control by
attracting helpful insects. For example, some kinds of soil bacteria take nitrogen(氮) from the air and make a form that plants can use. The plants keep the nitrogen in their roots. Legumes(豆类) are especially good at this. Any crops sharing the same space can get the nitrogen as the roots decompose(腐烂).
Crops like beans and potatoes, carrots and cabbages, beans and rice can also share territory well because their roots reach different levels in the soil. Deep-rooted vegetables get nutrients and moisture from lower down, so they do not compete with shallower plants. But some plants placed together may harm each other's development. For example, tomatoes do not like wet soil but watercress does, as the name suggests. So you would probably not want to put them together.
Even after harvest, some kinds of produce should be kept apart. Apples, for example, release ethylene gas,a plant hormone. It can cause other foods to ripen(成熟)too quickly. Markets often separate high ethylene-producing foods from those that are sensitive to the gas. But sometimes you might want them together. For example, if you put an apple in a bag with a green banana, the banana will be ready to eat sooner.
Now what about peaches, plums and nectarines that are too firm to eat? Growers in California answer this question at eatcaliforniafruit.com. They say an apple,a banana or a riper piece of fruit is not needed. The peaches, plums and nectarines themselves release enough of the gas to ripen successfully.
Here's their advice: place the fruit in afruit bowl or in a paper bag with the top folded over. Keep the fruit at room temperature. When the fruit is soft enough to your liking, either use it or place it in a refrigerator to stop further ripening.
32. What are the basic needs for companion planting?
A. Good old companions. B.Some kinds of soil bacteria.
C. Nutrients, soil and moisture. D.Helpful insects.
33. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. To some extent, companion planting relies more on traditional experience.
B. In the field of companion planting, proof always speaks louder than tradition.
C. Traditional experience is much less reliable than scientific experiments.
D. Scientific researches have thrown light on the theory of companion planting.
34. According to the text, which group of plants are not suitable to be planted together?
A. Beans and potatoes. B.Tomatoes and watercress.
C. Carrots and cabbages. D.Beans and rice.
35. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. We should choose fruit from markets as often as possible.
B. The peaches, plums and nectarines should always be put together to get riper.
C. The fruit in afruit bowl or in a paper bag should be eaten as soon as possible.
D. We should not place any ripening fruit out in direct sunlight.

One Possible Version
Dear Editor,
I want to share my opinions on the universal two-child policy. As we know, China has
the largest population in the world. That's why our government carries out "the family planning
policy". In most families, they have only one child, and they see not only its advantages but
also its disadvantages.
The universal two-child policy surely brings us some benefits. While parents bear a heavier
financial burden, it helps children with their growth. Besides, it can ease the pressure from the
aging of population. It'll also improve the balanced development of population and increase
labour force.
In fact, I prefer to have a brother or sister, because if I have one, I'll not feel lonely. We
can grow up together. When in trouble, we can help each other. It's really wonderful!
Yours,
Li Hua
