Many of the adventures on the list require scuba diving, but at some locations, even non-divers with a desire to get up close and personal with the top of the food chain can jump in and face their fears.‎ Bahamas I don't want to scare the non-shark lovers away from the beauty of the Bahamas, but there are sharks out there. From least scary to the most, here's where to get your Bahamian shark fix.‎ Compass Cay Marina is home to a large number of well-fed, friendly nurse sharks. In case you don't know it, a nurse shark is more like a giant catfish than a great white. You can walk right into the shallow water near the fish-cleaning station and pet these gentle guys.‎ Stuart Cove's in Nassau has been doing shark dives safely for decades. Caribbean reef sharks feed on fish-on-a-stick as divers kneel in the sand in awe. Reef sharks are some of the least aggressive species of shark.‎ As your fear subsides and you crave more sharks and more excitement, check out the folks at Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures in Fort Lauderdale. They operate live-aboard dive boats with regularly scheduled shark trips in the Bahamas. Expect to see tigers and hammerheads, as well as the Caribbean reef sharks.‎ Hawaii There are several shark species in the Pacific waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands. Sightings of tigers, hammerheads, blues, and even great whites are not all that uncommon.‎ And While divers can expect to see these guys almost anywhere while diving in Hawaii, the Oahu's North Shore is the place to be for cage diving. Hawaii Shark Encounters takes shark education seriously and strives to educate customers about the need for shark conservation while providing a thrilling swim with sharks inside the safety of a cage. No diving skills are required－just bring your courage.‎ Fiji Scuba diving in Fiji is a definite bucket-list adventure for many divers－and the fish many hope to see most is shark. Beqa Adventure Divers can make that happen for you. Sharks are protected in the Shark Reef Marine Reserve, so no worries about questionable practices. This is an uncaged dive, but per the company's website, it is a carefully managed feed, where participants observe, but do not interact（互动） with the sharks.‎ Guadalupe Island Home to a large population of great whites, the waters off the Mexico's Baja coast, attract divers willing to brave cold Pacific waters for some time in a cage watching the top fish of the ocean.‎ Nautilus Live Aboards operates six-day adventures from July to November using submersible（能在水下操作的） cages that descend to about 9 meters for a better opportunity to observe the sharks. You meet the expedition in San Diego, motor to Ensenada, cruise to Guadalupe, then spend three full days in the cages watching the predators. Non-divers are allowed, as air is supplied by hoses attached to the boat, but a minimum of a Discover Scuba course is ‎ recommended.‎ ‎21. How many kinds of sharks are mentioned in this passage?‎ A. Three.‎ B. Four.‎ C. Five.‎ D. Six.‎ ‎22. According to the passage, where can you interact with sharks?‎ A. In Bahamas.‎ B. In Hawaii.‎ C. In Fiji.‎ D. In Guadalupe Island.‎ ‎23. We can learn from the text that .‎ A. great whites can be seen mostly in Bahamas B. caged diving is safer than uncaged diving C. tigers are more dangerous than reef sharks D. skills as well as courage are needed for cage diving in Hawaii B Every summer the heat was miserable. This summer was no exception. ‎ Jamal lay on the porch(门廊), holding a glass of sweet tea to his forehead, trying to absorb some of the cool. It was early afternoon, and his grandmother had lain down for her daily nap.‎ ‎“Jamal! Jamal!” said Lisa, trying to get his attention.‎ ‎“What?” he asked.‎ ‎“I’m going to sort out the attic(阁楼). Want to come?” she asked calmly. Lisa was two years younger than Jamal and was used to being blown off.‎ ‎“You’re crazy,” Jamal said. “It’s got to be 100 degrees up there, not to mention that it’s dusty and full of spiders and who knows what else.”‎ ‎“Grandma said that if we see anything we want up there, we can keep it,” said Lisa.‎ ‎“What makes you think I want any of that old junk?” asked Jamal.‎ ‎“Suit yourself,” said Lisa. She went to the bedroom to change into old clothes that could get covered in sweat, dust, and possibly dead spiders.‎ Up in the attic, Lisa began to see Jamal’s point. The heat in the house rose upwards, only to be trapped in the small attic. Everything was covered in a fine layer of dust…‎ As Lisa began going through the boxes, she realized that no one had touched them for years. After a couple of hours, Lisa’s back ached, and her shirt was wet through.‎ ‎“Lisa, honey!” she heard her grandmother call. “Come take a break and have some tea.”‎ Lisa went downstairs and took a picture with her. “Grandma, is this really you?”‎ Her grandmother laughed. “What, you can’t believe it? Yes, that’s me; that was taken at my home coming almost sixty years ago.”‎ ‎“You were beautiful, Grandma,” said Lisa admiringly.‎ ‎“You’d be surprised, Lisa,” her grandmother responded. “Adults, all of us, were once young and irresponsible like you.”‎ ‎“I don’t think Mom was ever like that …” said Lisa.‎ ‎“Your mother…” her grandmother’s voice became low as she carefully chose her words. “When your father died in the service, your mother was still just a girl herself. You were a baby, and Jamal was only two. She had to grow up real fast.”‎ Lisa nodded. She finished her tea, thanked her grandmother, and turned to go back upstairs.‎ ‎24. What was Jamal’s attitude towards Lisa’s suggestion of exploring the attic?‎ A. Enthusiastic.‎ B. Interested.‎ C. Negative.‎ D. Indifferent.‎ ‎25. The underlined expression “Suit yourself” means “ ”.‎ A. Enjoy yourself B. Please yourself C. Take care of yourself D. Help yourself ‎26. What does Lisa’s grandmother probably mean when she says that Lisa’s mother “had to grow up real fast”?‎ A. Lisa’s mother had to drop out of college and start working.‎ B. Lisa’s mother had to become carefree and irresponsible very quickly.‎ C. Lisa’s mother had to become responsible and mature very quickly.‎ D. Lisa’s mother had to take on more responsibility than she was able to handle.‎ ‎27. Which of the following is the probable ending of the story?‎ A. Lisa found her mother’s love letters.‎ B. Lisa found nothing important but junk.‎ C. Lisa found a box of spiders and was scared to death.‎ D. Lisa found something about her mother’s miserable childhood.‎ C What is erosion(腐蚀)? Erosion is simply when soil is transported on the earth's surface from one location to another by a natural cause.‎ This is easy to imagine. Picture a sandcastle on a beach. This sandcastle is particularly beautiful, the work of a whole long, hot summer afternoon. It has three towers, with a great wall running all around. Small square houses sit in an open area in the center. From the tallest tower flies a Pop-sicle-wrapper flag from a small twig flagpole. Its builder sits back, proudly admiring her work. But it is late, and the tide is coming in, bringing the water closer. Finally, the castle is hit with a giant wave. As it pulls out, the builder sees there is nothing left but bits of the towers and a small broken twig. Where has the sand gone? Not very far, really. It’s moving around the water that will wash back and forth across the beach all day. It’s spread around the beach next to the castle. However, to our eyes, it has disappeared. This is also the way with erosion. Parts of the earth seem to disappear but have really just been moved around.‎ A common example of water changing the landscape is sinkholes. Sinkholes are formed when underground water wears away the dirt and rock that surrounds it. Eventually, the hole underneath the ground is so big, and the earth above it so thin that the surface collapses into the hole, taking with it anything unlucky enough to be on the surface at the time. Sinkholes occur naturally and have been around a very long time. Today, though, many sinkholes are caused by the action of human beings.‎ In fact, today, human beings are one of the things helping to speed up erosion of the earth. Scientists believe that by pumping water from underground, moving sand dunes and other naturally-occurring anti-erosion measures, humans have allowed erosion of the earth to speed up by as much as 40 times. This means that beaches around the world are disappearing, more ‎ sinkholes are opening up, and farmland is rapidly becoming desert.‎ ‎28. What’s the author’s purpose of describing a sandcastle in Paragraph 2?‎ A. To show the destructive force of nature.‎ B. To recall his happy childhood.‎ C. To catch the reader’s attention.‎ D. To explain what erosion is.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the passage?‎ A. The hole.‎ B. The ground.‎ C. The earth.‎ D. The surface.‎ ‎30. According to the passage, which of the following can you infer may NOT be the cause of sink-holes?‎ A. A lot of high-rises have been built.‎ B. People pump water from underground.‎ C. Too many mines have been opened up.‎ D. Underground water takes away dirt and rock around it.‎ ‎31. Based on the passage, what is most likely to be one result of erosion?‎ A. Desertification will speed up.‎ B. Sinkholes will be everywhere.‎ C. Many plant species will disappear.‎ D. Earthquakes will happen more often.‎ D It sounds like something straight out of a science fiction movie or a silly cartoon: a futuristic traveling tube that can quickly shoot people wherever they want to go, inside a tiny pod(吊舱). But this may be just around the corner for people looking for a faster, easier, and cheaper- than- ever way to travel.‎ South African-American inventor and billionaire Elon Musk, who, in the past, has worked on both private space flight and electric cars, recently announced he has been working on the design of this traveling tube, which could forever change the way we travel the world.‎ In a interview, Musk described the new tube as a fifth kind of transportation.‎ ‎“We have planes, trains, automobiles, and boats,” he explained. “What if there was a fifth mode? I have a name for it, called the Hyperloop.”‎ The Hyperloop would have the power to cut back on travel time between major cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco, which is what inspired Musk to design the Hyperloop in the first place. ‎ Musk started in an interview that he actually came up with the idea for the Hyperloop while thinking about the train that takes people between Los Angeles and San Francisco-it is known for being one of the slowest in the country.‎ ‎“This system I have in mind…can never crash, is immune (免疫的)to weather, it goes three or four times faster than the bullet train…it goes an average speed of twice what an aircraft would do,” explained Musk.‎ ‎“You would go from downtown Los Angeles to downtown San Francisco in under 30 minutes,” he added. “It would cost you much less than an air ticket and less than any other mode of transport.”‎ People using the Hyperloop would shoot around in pods, which are each just over six-and-a-half feet across, and the pods would travel through tubes located either above ground or under water, though Musk has not yet released his final design drawings.‎ Additionally, Musk believes the Hyperloop could be completely powered by the sun-making it more environmentally friendly than cars, airplanes, or train systems. Someday it could possibly move people between the East and West Coasts of the United States in less than an hour, which is faster than any other mode of transportation that exists. Eventually, the Hyperloop would be able to move people around the world.‎ The Hyperloop could even run 24/7, be cheap, and allow people to travel on their own schedule. People could show up at the Hyperloop station whenever they want and be quickly sent on their way.‎ Musk is not the first person outside of science fiction novelists to dream up vacuum tube technology for moving people. The idea has been around for some time, and inventors in other countries, including China, are reportedly working on similar technology.‎ ‎32. The Hyperloop is that Elon Musk is designing.‎ A. an electric car ‎ B. a private spaceship C. a traveling tube D. a bullet train ‎33. What do we know about the Hyperloop?‎ A. The Hyperloop could only run on weekdays.‎ B. The Hyperloop is being designed to travel at twice the speed of an airplane.‎ C. Inventors in other countries are working on the same technology as the Hyperloop.‎ D. People using the Hyperloop would travel in pods that are about six-and-a-half feet long.‎ ‎34. According to the passage, people might prefer the Hyperloop because .‎ A. people would not have to pay as much to use the Hyperloop B. people with motion sickness might not be able to handle the Hyperloop C. people are tired of using the same four kinds of transportation over and over D. the Hyperloop could take people to places where planes and trains do not go 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。‎ There is a collection of positive habits that make a person so successful in class. 36 .‎ Here are some habits of top students that you can use as tips to do better at school:‎ First, 37 . In college, homework assignments generally make up 5-20% of your grade, but can be the biggest time- suck for most students. Working problems is one of the best ways to turn new concepts into working knowledge, but you’ll never see on an exam a large majority of those problems that take you hours and hours to work through.‎ Second, they never “read through” the textbook. Per time spent, reading the textbook is one of the least effective methods for learning new materials. 38 , but otherwise use Google, lecture notes, and old exams for study materials.‎ Third, they test themselves frequently. Testing yourself strengthens your brain’s connections to new materials. 39 . Bottom line, repeated self-testing significantly improve long-term memory of new materials.‎ Last, they study in short bursts, not long marathons. Studying in short burst tends to help you focus strongly because you know there is at least a short break coming. 40 , which makes studying continuously for multiple hours on end.‎ A. It helps relax our mind.‎ B. they always focus on their homework C. they don’t always do all of their homework D. Top students use examples and practice problems E. This also fits in nicely with our natural activity or rest cycle of our bodies F. It gives you immediate and clear feedback on whether you know something or not G.

A rural area is different from a city because there are 41 people. My home is deep in a valley 42 by mountains that are rocky and covered in trees. 43 many farms are located in rural areas because they require large plots of land to grow food or 44 farm animals, in my community the mountains and 45 soil make it difficult to farm.

Some people also use a generator-- a machine that generates electricity from gasoline—whenever there are 51 .‎ Going to school in a rural area means having fewer classmates and 52 longer distances. To get to my high school, I must drive forty miles to the 53 city. This means I must get up much earlier than my 54 classmates in order to be on time.

Sometimes I must miss school because storms make it 58 to drive.‎ I am not sure 59 if I want to live in the country or in the city when I grow up.
