He is also the owner of a dive shop that places heavy upon the exploration and conservation of his hometown's waters.As a young child, Andre would be fascinated by tales of the sea told by his dad who was a fisherman. When he was six years old, his mum gave him his first equipment of diving. Then, Andre spent his time diving. Andre interned (实习)at a dive shop. With this training, the young diver was able to see new depths. But unfortunately, he saw much damage.After finishing his studies in marine biology, Andre got to work as a member of the Coastal Zone Management Unit. It was here that once again he was horrified by the rapid decline of the numbers of sea creatures and the negative effects of poor boating practices which caused havoc to the island 's coral(珊瑚).Therefore, the first mission of Andre, s team was to repair destroyed reefs and save coral. And they have been very successful in their efforts.One of Andrc*s perfect moments was his role in the creation of the Carlisle Bay Marine Park. The park has now become the premier dive site in his hometown. Andre describes it as "the best textbook example of how marine parks can benefit the islands”In 2016, Andre further promised his support of the conservation of Carlisle Bay through his work with other projects. Through their work, Andre 's hometown has seen an increase in underwater clean-ups, which has made marine life increase greatly. Andre* s contagious (有感染力 的)passion fbr marine conservation doesn't end here. He is always searching for more. Andre Miller is a man on a mission.23. What made Andre interested in marine life when he was young?A. The internship at a dive shop.B. The tales of the sea from his father.C. The participation in a class about marine life.D. The information from the textbooks and the Internet.24. What does the underlined word “havoc" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Damage.B. Harmony.C. Increase.D. Mess.25. Whafs the author's attitude towards Andre* s work?A. Tolerant.B. Doubtful.C. Uncaring.D. Favorable.26. Which of the following can best describe Andre?A. Patient and brave.B. Careful and selfless.C. Determined and creative.D. Intelligent and outspoken.CColor can affect moods , emotions and even actions. This includes sleep and health. In ancient cultures, color therapy is even used as a method of healing.The color blue has been thought to stimulate (促进)a sleep state. Exposure to blue light can help lower body temperature and blood pressure. A decrease in blood pressure and body temperature is the preparation that signals to the body that if s time to sleep. Therefore, seeing the color blue when you are ready to rest may cause the response and help you fall asleep more easily.While there is much evidence that blue is the best choice for your bedroom walls, it's really the tone that influences your sleep, not the color itself. Deep blue or other neutral (中性的)tones will even make a small bedroom seem more spacious.While soft colors and earth tones are the most calming and restful bedroom colors for sleep, bright colors prevent your brain activity. These colors stimulate brain activity and stop you from falling asleep. While many parents paint their children's rooms with bright colors, it* s better to choose fun, playful colors in gentle tones to encourage their kids to go to sleep. Light yellow, green and blue are all amazing choices to paint your children's bedroom.What you should remember is that never paint your bedroom walls purple! Purple stimulates creative thought and can lead to extremely vivid nightmares. Other bad choices for bedroom colors include bright reds and bright oranges. These colors stimulate the brain and increase energy. For example, red causes passion, increases energy and may even help you move more quickly. It may be a better choice for your home gym than for your sleep space.Regardless of the size of your room, there are a few tones that we suggest for creating a healthy space for deep sleep. The most important factor is that you feel relaxed, calm and restful in the room. You should also keep your bedroom free from mess as much as possible and keep it clean. In your bedroom, sleep should be your main focus.27. What is the effect the color blue has on people?A. It can cause high blood pressure.B. It can keep the brain active.C. It can adjust the sleep state.D. It can cool the body down.28. Which color can help make the room look larger?A. Light grey.B. Deep pink.C. Deep red.D. Orange.29. What's Paragraph 5 mainly about?A. Ways to make sure of good sleep.C. Color and brain activities.31. What plays a key role in sleep?A. The room is decorated well.C. The room makes you feel at ease.B. Bad colors for the bedroom.D. The advice on health.B. The room is free from rubbish.D. The room shows different tones.DThe sounds of the Northern Lights have been a mystery to scientists for over a century. But now it seems that a researcher has figured out how auroras (极光)really make sounds.“It has pretty much been confirmed all over the world," historian Fiona Amery said. " In Canada, Norway and Russia, they are all hearing very much the same sounds.”“The auroras can occur hundreds of kilometers above the ground , which strengthens opinions that their sounds are just a false impression/' said Fiona. Many scientists argued that auroras were too far away to hear and that any sound would take several minutes to reach the ground, so it was impossible for them to change in time with the auroras.However, other scientists were convinced that the Northern Lights really made noises. In the 1920s, Canadian astronomer Clarence Chant first suggested a mechanism by which they could occur: The motion of the aurora caused changes in the electrification of the atmosphere that created crackling sounds close to the ground. Almost 100 years later, Clarence's suggestion seems close to what could be the true reason for the sounds.In 2012, an expert named Unto Laine showed a recording of auroral sounds after years of monitoring auroras. In 2016, he announced the mechanism that makes the sounds: an inversion layer(逆温.层)of cold air in the atmosphere that can form below an aurora and a short distance above the ground in calm weather.Unto argues that visible changes in the aurora cause changes in the inversion layer, causing accumulated electricity to discharge as sparks ( 火花)that create sounds that can be heard. That explains how the sounds correspond with the aurora's visible movements they begin to happen in the inversion layer only about 75 meters above the observer.32. What are the words Fiona said in Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The existence of the sounds of the Northern Lights.B. The need to make full use of the Northern Lights.C. The problems caused by the Northern Lights.D. The cause of the Northern Lights.33. What can we learn about Clarence's suggestion in the 1920s?A. It matched a lot of old ideas.B. It was well recognized then.C. It might be of great value.D. It was a total failure.34. How does the author convey his idea in the text?A. By listing research numbers.B. By making comparisons.C. By providing explanations.D. By giving examples.35. Which is the most suitable title for the text?A. Can We Enjoy the Northern Lights? B. Do the Northern Lights Make Sounds?C. Why Should We Study the Northern Lights? D. How Do the Northern Lights Come into Being? 第二节(共5小题;每题2分,总分值10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余. 选项。How to Benefit from VolunteeringVolunteering is a great benefit to the community.
