Just thinking about it made me sick.But then, I wanted to know why people loved it so much. They all said that under the sea was like a totally different world, yet a beautiful one. And because of that, I decided to take the risk and try to face my fear.So, after taking a private course from my diving instructor, Mbak Vita, I went to Sepa Island with her, to take the final exam. First dive, 12 meters in depth. “What am I doing?” I asked myself. “What if something bad happened?” I tried hard not to panic and told myself to keep a good thought, “Its gonna be a wonderful experience. Just do it!” Then I went down. My heart beat fast and my ears hurt as I went deeper. I followed Vitas instructions closely until I felt comfortable to explore (探索) the sea.Suddenly all around me was green. It felt like I was living in a green world! I saw some corals (珊瑚), big ones, and lots of beautiful fish hiding in the sand.I was enjoying the beauty all around me when my instructor waved at me with her hand holding a pink flipper (橡胶蹼). “That flipper looks familiar,” I thought. Yes! That was my flipper! I didnt realize that my right flipper had managed to get away from my right foot! So, that was the first dive. In total, we dove 5 times in 2 days. We managed to dive up to 18 meters in depth. The next dives were smooth and for sure I didnt lose my flipper! I was so happy to see different types of fish swimming in front of me as if I was invisible (不可见的). It was indeed so beautiful and peaceful down there. Now I can see why people love diving under the sea.24. How did the author feel about learning scuba-diving at first?A. Uncertain.                B. Excited.     C. Comfortable.            D. Disappointed.25. What does the underlined word “panic” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Feel tired and sleepy.B. Keep cool and relaxed.C. Keep quiet and patient.D. Feel nervous and worried.26.

What would be the best title for the text?A. A pleasant trip to the beachB. My first experience with scuba-divingC. Why a person starts scuba-divingD.

Hanadi joined a school there but was fearful to go. Her experience is not unusual. There are now nearly 25.4 million refugees around the world, according to the United Nations refugee agency. About half are children. Most refugees today are from Syria, where civil war broke out in 2011. To help kids affected by the situation, Sesame Street and the International Rescue Committee (IRC) have teamed up to create a new version (版本) of Sesame Street especially for Syrian refugees, using Muppets (木偶) as teachers. “We dont just want to help children learn letters and numbers,” said Sherrie Westin, who works at Sesame Workshop. “We want to help them feel less alone.”There are more than 150 international versions of Sesame Street. In Germany, kids watch Sesamstrasse, while Mexico has Plaza Sésamo. Each version includes math and spelling lessons. Some characters are the same as in the American version. But other things are different: The Muppets speak the local language and wear local clothes.The new version will include situations that are familiar to Syrian refugee kids. Some of the Muppets, for example, may have been forced to leave their home. “Kids can watch the Muppets work through big problems the kids are dealing with themselves,” the IRCs Sarah Smith says. For the worlds 12 million refugee children, there is little chance to receive good education. And even if kids go to school, they may have fallen behind in their studies. Often, they are traumatized (使受精神创伤) by what theyve been through. The new Sesame Street will meet the public in 2019. Sesame Workshop expects that more than 9 million children will be able to watch the show on a TV, computer, or mobile phone. Hanadi may be one of them.28. What happened to 4-year-old Hanadi?A. She dropped out of school.B. She was injured in the war.C. She fell behind in her studies.D. She became afraid to go to school.29. Why was the new version of Sesame Street created?A. To increase the shows popularity.B. To improve education in poor areas.C. To help refugee kids get through hard times.D. To teach kids who cant afford to go to school.30. What do different versions of Sesame Street have in common?A. They all teach math and spelling.B. They were all named Sesame Street.C. The characters are exactly the same.D. The characters wear the same clothes.31. What can we learn about the new version of Sesame Street?A. The story happens in Syria.B. It will appear on the screen in 2019.C. It will hopefully reach 12 million children.D. The idea was brought up by Sherrie Westin. DIf youve been in public in the past year or so, chances are youve noticed someone breaking dining etiquette (礼仪) that would seem second-nature to any adult. Why does our dining etiquette seem to be at an all-time low right now?“Overall, theres much less feeling about the common good, which means caring about your neighbor whether at home or in a restaurant,” said Steven Petrow, who writes articles for USA Today. Take the use of cellphones at the table. While a 2015 survey by the Pew Research Center found that 38 percent of those surveyed thought it was acceptable to use their phones while dining out, the increasing number of cellphone bans in restaurants shows that restaurants arent putting up with it.However, some look on the growing use of cellphones as a sign that manners (礼貌) change alongside our society.“Manners change,” said the writer behind a food site The Takeout. “What we consider improper isnt set in stone.” She points out the other “rules” that have since become outdated nowadays, like saying “Sir” and “Maam,” as proof of this change.Yes, traditional manners are yet another thing being redefined (重新定义) by youth. “Younger people are growing up in a world with more flexible (灵活的) rules, and this spreads to the dining table,” said Daniel Levine, director of global trends consultancy The Avant-Guide Institute.Whether you prefer high-end restaurants or a fast-casual meal, the biggest reason behind the decline of manners may just be a numbers game.“I believe it is more likely for people to break dining rules because they go out and eat more often,” said Diane Gottsman, owner of The Protocol School of Texas. “Years ago, people stayed home and sat around the family table. Today, there are more people in the workforce, which makes it more affordable for socializing and eating out. With new chance comes the possibility for more dining problems.”32. What did the 2015 survey find?A. Many people accepted using phones at the table.B. Cellphones were banned in more and more restaurants.C. Most of the surveyed people used phones while eating out.D. Few restaurants took positions on using phones while eating.33. Why was the example of “Sir” and “Maam” mentioned?A. To show modern people are becoming impolite.B. To explain dining rules in high-end restaurants.C. To prove dining etiquette changes through time.D. To argue young people are making dining rules today. 34. According to Diane Gottsman, people forget their dining manners more often because _.A. they think theyre unimportantB. they grew up with flexible rulesC. they have more chances to eat outD. they must hurry meals to get back to work35. Whats the authors purpose in writing this text?A. To introduce changes in dining manners.B. To encourage people to have dining manners.C. To report survey findings on dining manners.D. To discuss the reasons for poor dining manners.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。If you want to write a strong essay, it is important to make sure you have three clear parts in your paper: the introduction, the body, and the conclusion. 36  Its used to catch your readers attention and tell them what the essay will be about.
