As the coronavirus (冠状病毒) outbreak continues, many Americans are fearful of using public transportation. They are also looking for ways to get exercise without going to a gym. So, it may not be surprising that the pandemic (疫情) has led to a major increase in bicycle sales.
In the US, bicycles at big stores have sold out. And small bicycle stores cannot keep up with demand for “family-style” bicycles: the low-cost, easy-to-ride models. “The bicycle industry is seeing its biggest sales increase since the oil crisis of the 1970s,” said Jay Townley, an industry expert. He compared the sale of bicycles to the rush to buy products like toilet paper at the start of the pandemic.
The rise in bicycle sales is not happening just in the US. Italy has created bicycle paths for the growing number of people who want to avoid public transportation. In London, city officials plan to ban cars from some central roads. Bike shop owners in Manila say demand is even stronger than what they see at Christmas time.
Of course, you can only buy a bicycle if you can find one. In the US, the shortages now mean it may take many months to get a bicycle. High demand is not the only reason for the shortage. Many bicycle factories were shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19. The increase in bicycle demand began in March as countries began to close down. In April, the sale of bicycles increased 200 percent in the US.
Joe Minutolo is the co-owner of Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop in Maine. He said he hoped the increased sales meant a change in the way people think about transportation. “People are having a chance to rethink things,” he said, “Maybe we’ll all learn something out of this, and something really good will happen.”
4. What causes the increase in bicycle sales
A. Shortage of public transportation.
B. Outbreak of the coronavirus.
C. People’s desire to defeat disease.
D. People’s fear of natural disasters.
5. What change has the pandemic caused in Italy
A. More bikes are sold than at Christmas time.
B. “Family-style” bicycles are in great need.
C. Cars are banned from some central roads.
D. New bicycle paths have been built.
6. What can we know from Paragraph 4
A. It’s impossible to buy a bike.
B. Bike factories were closed in April.
C. High demand for bikes began in March.
D. It takes many months to produce a bike.
7. What is Joe Minutolo’s attitude towards the increased sales of bicycles
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uncertain. D. Critical.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了疫情下全球自行车市场繁荣从而导致了自行车的供应出现了短缺的情况。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“So, it may not be surprising that the pandemic (疫情) has led to a major increase in bicycle sales.”可知，疫情大流行导致自行车销量大幅度增长并不奇怪。即冠状病毒爆发导致了自行车销量的增加。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“ Italy has created bicycle paths for the growing number of people who want to avoid public transportation. ”可知，意大利为越来越多希望避免使用公共交通工具的人们建造了自行车道。即疫情大流行使意大利政府为民众新建了自行车道。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“The increase in bicycle demand began in March as countries began to close down. ”可知，随着国家开始实施封闭措施，民众对于自行车需求的增长开始于三月份。即民众对自行车的大量需求始于三月份。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“He said he hoped the increased sales meant a change in the way people think about transportation. “People are having a chance to rethink things,” he said, “Maybe we’ll all learn something out of this, and something really good will happen.””可知，Joe Minutolo说，他希望自行车销量的增加意味着人们对出行方式的看法发生了变化。他说：“人们有机会重新思考一些事情，也许我们都会从中学到一些东西，并且某些真正好的事情将会发生。由此可知，Joe Minutolo对自行车销量增加持肯定的态度。故选B。
C
The snow in Antarctica is turning green and scientists say climate change may be to blame. According to a study at the Cambridge University, microscopic algae blooms (藻类爆发) across the surface of the snow is slowly turning Antarctica’s winter white landscape green. Although microscopic, scientists say they’re able to see the “green snow” from space when the algae blooms all together.
Researchers created a large-scale map of green snow algae along the Antarctic coast using a combination of satellite data and on-the-ground observations over the course of two summers. The study found that the green snow algae bloomed in warmer areas where the average temperatures are just above 0℃ during the southern hemisphere’s (半球的) summer months from November to February.
“As Antarctica warms, we predict the overall mass of snow algae will increase,” said Dr Andrew Gray, lead author of the paper, and a researcher. Researchers say larger blooms of algae can be found north of the Antarctic and South Shetland Islands, where it can spread to higher ground as the snow melts.
The team also discovered some sea birds and mammals influenced the distribution of algae. Over 60% of algae blooms were found within three miles of a penguin settlement. Scientists hypothesize this may be due to their droppings, which act as a “highly nutritious fertilizer.”
“This is a significant advance in our understanding of land-based life on Antarctica, and how it might change in the coming years as the climate warms,” said Dr. Matt Davey in the University of Cambridge’s Department of Plant Sciences, who led the study.
8. What is turning the Antarctic snow green
A. The melting of snow.
B. The blooming algae.
C. The beautiful landscape.
D. The balanced temperature.
9. Where is microscopic algae most likely to bloom in Antarctica
A. North of the Antarctic.
B. West of the South Pole.
C. South of the Antarctic.
D. Around the southern hemisphere.
10. What does the underlined word “hypothesize” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Confirm. B. Support. C. Assume. D. Warn.
11. What can we learn from the text
A. Penguins feed on microscopic algae.
B. Antarctic algae grow under the snow.
C. Ground observation lasted for four months.
D. Animal droppings contribute to the algae blooms.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。讲述了科学家们对南极洲藻类的爆发原因的调查研究。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据“microscopic algae blooms (藻类爆发) across the surface of the snow is slowly turning Antarctica’s winter white landscape green.”可知，遍布雪表面微生物藻类的爆发正在慢慢地将南极洲冬天的白色景观变成绿色。所以南极洲的雪变绿的是藻类的爆发，故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Researchers say larger blooms of algae can be found north of the Antarctic and South Shetland Islands”可知，调查者们说更大的藻类的爆发会在南极洲北部和南设得兰群岛被发现，A项符合，故选A。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“this may be due to their droppings”中的may（也许）和due to（因为）可知，科学家们是在推测和假设原因，故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。文中并未提到企鹅以藻类为食，故A错，排除选项A；根据“across the surface of the snow”可知藻类覆盖在雪的表面，故B错，排除选项B；根据“on-the-ground observations over the course of two summers”可知，地面观察持续了两个夏天，故C错，排除选项C；根据“this may be due to their droppings”可知，藻类的爆发可能是因为企鹅等动物的粪便，故选D。
D
Teenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and sponsors. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, yet the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seemed there is confusion about the competence and independence of young people.
The popular psychologists tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters.
But it’s also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can desire to get achievements as unusual as Jessica Watson’s. Watson calls herself “an ordinary girl who had a dream”. Her intention is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such dreams Actually, individuals face varying circumstances that restrict their dreams.
Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (事先形成的) views about young people. Nor should young “ordinary” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us “ordinary” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others.
12. What can we learn about Jessica Watson
A. She was criticized by the government.
B. She eventually canceled her voyage.
C. She has traveled around the world.
D. She made a successful voyage.
13 What can be inferred about teenagers from the text
A. They have similar abilities.
B. They make decisions on their own.
C. They always make wrong judgments.
D. They need supports of responsible adults.
14. Who does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Parents. B. Teenagers.
C. Psychologists. D. Adults.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Divided Opinions on Young Adventurers
B. Problems Faced by Adventurous Teens
C. Various Ways to Become Independent
D. Pressure to Achieve Personal Goals
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了独自一人环游世界的青少年经常成为头条新闻，一个年轻人Jessica Watson成为了澳大利亚年轻人的英雄，为此各方有着不同的看法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, yet the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned.”可知，政府要求Jessica Watson取消航行，但在她返回时总理称她为澳大利亚年轻人的英雄。由此可知，Jessica Watson进行了一次成功的航行。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“ The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters.”可知，允许每个人独立的程度不仅应由他们的年龄决定，还需要与相关的负责任的成年人讨论。有些青少年肯定是没有经验的，并且容易犯幼稚的错误，但是那些尝试危险旅行的青少年那样做通常是得到了精明冷静的和有学识的成人支持者的信任。由此可知，青少年需要负责任的成年人的支持。故选D。
【14题详解】
指代猜测题。根据第三段的“But it’s also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can desire to get achievements as unusual as Jessica Watson’s. Watson calls herself “an ordinary girl who had a dream”. Her intention is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such dreams Actually, individuals face varying circumstances that restrict their dreams.”可知，认为任何16岁的年轻人都渴望获得Jessica Watson一样出色的成就也是错误的。Watson称自己为一个有梦想的普通女孩。她这样做的目的是为了鼓励青少年，但是这个想法可能产生相反的效果，使他们感到自己不够好，因为在他们看来伟大的成就是他们不可触及的。所有的青少年都应该有这样的梦想吗？实际上，每个人面临着各种不同的情况，这限制了他们的梦想。由此可知，划线词they指代的是前文提到的青少年。故选B。
【15题详解】
标题判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了独自一人环游世界的青少年经常成为头条新闻，一个处境危险的年轻人Jessica Watson成为了澳大利亚年轻人的英雄，为此各方有着不同的看法。下文具体地分析了人们的不同看法。根据第二题的分析可知，第二段提到“青少年需要负责任的成年人的支持”。第三段提到“认为任何16岁的年轻人都渴望获得Jessica Watson一样出色的成就也是错误的”。最后一段中提到作者的看法“不应仅凭对年轻人的先入为主的看法来判断在世界各地旅行的青少年。青少年也不应感到压力去渴望达到非凡的个人目标。实际上，我相信单人航行的例子过分强调个人主义。十几岁的时候，我们大多数普通人都知道我们可以与他人合作来成就伟大的事情”。因此A项（对年轻冒险者的不同看法。）可以作为文章的标题。故选A。
第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分满分12.5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。
Let's take a minute to think about the water we use. The human body is 60% water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. When we are thirsty we just go to the kitchen and fill a glass with clean water.
___16___For example, farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow. When we turn on a light or switch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to produce this energy.
The truth is that we are lucky enough to have clean water whenever we want，but this is not the case for many people around the world___17___That's around one in 10 people in the world. If we drink dirty water，we can catch diseases from the bacteria and become ill. Every year over 500，000 children die from diarrhea(腹泻)from dirty water. That's around 1，400 children every day！Also，in some countries children walk many kilometres every day to get water.___18___Therefore，they don't have time to learn how to read or write and don't get an education.
___19___On this day every year，countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world. At one school in the UK，children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water.___20___People give them money to do this and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.
A. We use water indirectly too.
B. Every system in our body depends on water to function.
C. It is to inspire people to learn more about water-related problems
D. If children walk many hours a day to get water，they can't go to school.
E. Did you know that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink？
F. In 1993 the United Nations decided that March 22nd is the World Day for Water.
G. In this way，they know how it feels to walk a long distance carrying heavy bottles.
【答案】16. A 17. E 18. D 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了水是我们生活中非常重要的能源，而世界上很多人并不像我们这样幸运能喝到干净的水。世界上大约有7.5亿人没有干净的水喝，每年有50多万儿童死于脏水引起的腹泻。就此联合国决定3月22日为世界水日，并在当天举办活动来教育人们关于脏水的问题，让人们知道清洁的水是全世界每个人都应该拥有的。
【16题详解】
根据下文For example, farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow. When we turn on a light or switch on a TV or a computer we use energy and we need water to produce this energy.（例如，生产我们吃的食物的农民，使用水使植物生长。当我们打开电灯或电视或电脑的开关时，我们使用能源，我们需要水来产生这种能源）可知下文是在列举人们间接使用水的例子，故A选项“我们也间接地用水。”符合上下文语境，故选A。
【17题详解】
根据下文That's around one in 10 people in the world.（那大约是世界上十分之一的人）可推知本句为说明世界上没有干净水喝的人数。故E选项“你知道大约有7.5亿人没有干净的水喝吗 ”符合上下文语境，故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文Also，in some countries children walk many kilometres every day to get water.（而且，在一些国家，孩子们每天要走很多公里去取水）中walk many kilometres every day to get water可对应到D选项中walk many hours a day to get water，故D选项“如果孩子们每天走很多小时去取水，他们就不能去上学。”符合上下文语境，故选D。
【19题详解】
结合下文On this day every year，countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something that everyone should have around the world.（每年的这一天，世界各国都会举办各种活动，让人们了解脏水的问题，让他们知道清洁的水是全世界每个人都应该拥有的）是在说明世界水日当天的活动，故可知本句为说明世界水日的设立时间，故F选项“1993年，联合国决定3月22日为世界水日。”符合上下文语境，故选F。
【20题详解】
根据前文At one school in the UK，children between the ages of 10 and 15 walk 6km with six litres of water.（在英国的一所学校，10到15岁的孩子负重6升水来步行6公里）可推知本句承接上文继续说明这一做法的意义是让孩子们了解带着沉重的瓶子走很长的距离是什么感觉。故G选项“通过这种方式，他们知道带着沉重的瓶子走很长的距离是什么感觉。”符合上下文语境，故选G。
【点睛】七选五做题技巧。做题的时候边读边做。各个问题附近的句子都需要重点阅读，圈画一些线索，再从选项中寻找相关的特征词用来判断正确答案。带入排除法也是一种很好的方法。另外，如果发现有一题拿不准的，先跳过，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。至此，文章的要点和主旨、各个段落之间的逻辑关系应该基本就能清楚了。然后再回过去做之前不确定的题目。如第三小题，根据上文Also，in some countries children walk many kilometres every day to get water.（而且，在一些国家，孩子们每天要走很多公里去取水）中walk many kilometres every day to get water可对应到D选项中walk many hours a day to get water，故D选项“如果孩子们每天走很多小时去取水，他们就不能去上学。”符合上下文语境，故选D。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Several years ago I worked in an international company selling computer devices. At the time I had to travel around the country as a part of my work. I remember clearly that I was at a stage of my life where I only cared about how to earn more money.
Once, I went to the airport to take a bus to downtown as usual. The routine was as follows: get into the city, take the bus to the hotel, visit the customer, work late, take the bus back to the airport and fly back. . . Somehow, that day I decided to take the stairs down to a different exit, where I found a beautiful garden I had never seen before. I waited there and enjoyed the scenery until the bus came.
I was used to the seat behind the driver. However, that day I sat on a seat in the middle and a boy was seated next to me and he was carrying a great many suitcases. He turned to me suddenly and gave me one of the most sincere smiles I had ever seen from a stranger. He said warmly, "hi, the perfect day in the perfect place, isn't it "
I remember saying to myself-this must be one of those typical people who is young and just thinks everything in the world is beautiful and easy. Why was he annoying me when I just wanted to enjoy the bus ride But out of politeness, I answered, “Really perfect! Did your dear parents pay for you to have some vacations on the beach ” “No, I don't have parents and I'm not here for vacation.” He shook his head instantly, “I'm here to achieve my biggest dream. Actually, I'm on the way to the army school where my grandfather studied a long time ago.”
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
I lost my dad 8 years ago then my mom married again. My stepfather……
Paragraph 2:
He told me that for 8 years, he had only one thing in his mind to……
【答案】 “I lost my dad 8 years ago then my mom married again. My stepfather treated me badly and later he threw me out of the house. I've been living all over the country since then and I've learnt a lot from life through these years. Fortunately I met a lot of kind people.” he said. Hearing his words, I was speechless and tears began to roll down my cheeks. Fortunately, he continued his story.
He told me that for 8 years, he had only one thing in his mind to join the army school like his grandfather. “My grandpa was a great general of the army and he left me this,” he said proudly, showing me a golden knife. “I have been following my dream these years and I'm happy every day.” When the bus reached his stop, he rose from his seat and took all his suitcases, saying goodbye with a big smile. From then on, I always try to do everything with my best smile on my face.
【解析】
【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，作者是个上班族，每天在固定的场所和路线之间往返。突然一天，作者在路线中做了几个小小的改变，先是选择走楼梯下楼看到了美丽的花园，接着选择坐到了公交车的中部遇到了一个上车的小伙子对他微笑，并对他讲述了自己的经历。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：十年前我的父亲去世了，我的母亲再婚……，所以后文应该是讲述他父亲去世后，他的生活情况。且根据上文小伙子说他不是来度假的可知，他继父对他并不好，推测是将他赶出了家，因为他才在各地流浪，遇到了很多好心人。第二段开头是：他微笑着对我讲述了他这十年的经历。他心里只有一件事……本段应该写少年为何要像他爷爷一样加入军队，以及他对作者产生的影响和感悟。
续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：learn from，at that point，follow one’s dream等高级词汇；表语从句The only thing I know is that I will follow my dream and every day I will be happy，定语从句I've met many people who were kind to me.状语从句以及现在分词作状语When the bus reached his stop, he rose from his seat and took all his suitcases, saying goodbye with a big smile. 等高级句式。
读后续写作为高考新题型之一，突出考查了考生根据所获得的综合信息进行吸收、内化并转变成自己的语言的一种能力，同时通过对文本结构的分析和合理性地推测与想象，用自己的语言接续文本，体现了核心素养中的思维品质和语言能力。读后续写是对原文的阅读，然后进行续写，故在写作时，要注意“三个读”：先读原文，了解文章的大意、文章的逻辑结构、故事的6要素、情节发展等；再读10个关键词，对关键词进行合理地分类，确定哪些是最重要的，哪些次之，然后进行合理的构思；最后读给出的两个首句，确定全文结尾的逻辑关系。同时，也要注意字数。

As the coronavirus (冠状病毒) outbreak continues, many Americans are fearful of using public transportation. They are also looking for ways to get exercise without going to a gym. So, it may not be surprising that the pandemic (疫情) has led to a major increase in bicycle sales.
In the US, bicycles at big stores have sold out. And small bicycle stores cannot keep up with demand for “family-style” bicycles: the low-cost, easy-to-ride models. “The bicycle industry is seeing its biggest sales increase since the oil crisis of the 1970s,” said Jay Townley, an industry expert. He compared the sale of bicycles to the rush to buy products like toilet paper at the start of the pandemic.
The rise in bicycle sales is not happening just in the US. Italy has created bicycle paths for the growing number of people who want to avoid public transportation. In London, city officials plan to ban cars from some central roads. Bike shop owners in Manila say demand is even stronger than what they see at Christmas time.
Of course, you can only buy a bicycle if you can find one. In the US, the shortages now mean it may take many months to get a bicycle. High demand is not the only reason for the shortage. Many bicycle factories were shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19. The increase in bicycle demand began in March as countries began to close down. In April, the sale of bicycles increased 200 percent in the US.
Joe Minutolo is the co-owner of Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop in Maine. He said he hoped the increased sales meant a change in the way people think about transportation. “People are having a chance to rethink things,” he said, “Maybe we’ll all learn something out of this, and something really good will happen.”
4. What causes the increase in bicycle sales
A. Shortage of public transportation.
B. Outbreak of the coronavirus.
C. People’s desire to defeat disease.
D. People’s fear of natural disasters.
5. What change has the pandemic caused in Italy
A. More bikes are sold than at Christmas time.
B. “Family-style” bicycles are in great need.
C. Cars are banned from some central roads.
D. New bicycle paths have been built.
6. What can we know from Paragraph 4
A. It’s impossible to buy a bike.
B Bike factories were closed in April.
C. High demand for bikes began in March.
D. It takes many months to produce a bike.
7. What is Joe Minutolo’s attitude towards the increased sales of bicycles
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uncertain. D. Critical.
C
The snow in Antarctica is turning green and scientists say climate change may be to blame. According to a study at the Cambridge University, microscopic algae blooms (藻类爆发) across the surface of the snow is slowly turning Antarctica’s winter white landscape green. Although microscopic, scientists say they’re able to see the “green snow” from space when the algae blooms all together.
Researchers created a large-scale map of green snow algae along the Antarctic coast using a combination of satellite data and on-the-ground observations over the course of two summers. The study found that the green snow algae bloomed in warmer areas where the average temperatures are just above 0℃ during the southern hemisphere’s (半球的) summer months from November to February.
“As Antarctica warms, we predict the overall mass of snow algae will increase,” said Dr Andrew Gray, lead author of the paper, and a researcher. Researchers say larger blooms of algae can be found north of the Antarctic and South Shetland Islands, where it can spread to higher ground as the snow melts.
The team also discovered some sea birds and mammals influenced the distribution of algae. Over 60% of algae blooms were found within three miles of a penguin settlement. Scientists hypothesize this may be due to their droppings, which act as a “highly nutritious fertilizer.”
“This is a significant advance in our understanding of land-based life on Antarctica, and how it might change in the coming years as the climate warms,” said Dr. Matt Davey in the University of Cambridge’s Department of Plant Sciences, who led the study.
8. What is turning the Antarctic snow green
A. The melting of snow.
B. The blooming algae.
C. The beautiful landscape.
D. The balanced temperature.
9. Where is microscopic algae most likely to bloom in Antarctica
A. North of the Antarctic.
B. West of the South Pole.
C. South of the Antarctic.
D. Around the southern hemisphere.
10. What does the underlined word “hypothesize” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Confirm. B. Support. C. Assume. D. Warn.
11. What can we learn from the text
A. Penguins feed on microscopic algae.
B. Antarctic algae grow under the snow.
C. Ground observation lasted for four months.
D. Animal droppings contribute to the algae blooms.

Teenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and sponsors. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, yet the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seemed there is confusion about the competence and independence of young people.
The popular psychologists tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys normally do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters.
But it’s also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can desire to get achievements as unusual as Jessica Watson’s. Watson calls herself “an ordinary girl who had a dream”. Her intention is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such dreams Actually, individuals face varying circumstances that restrict their dreams.
Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (事先形成的) views about young people. Nor should young “ordinary” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us “ordinary” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others.
12. What can we learn about Jessica Watson
A. She was criticized by the government.
B. She eventually canceled her voyage.
C. She has traveled around the world.
D. She made a successful voyage.
13. What can be inferred about teenagers from the text
A. They have similar abilities.
B. They make decisions on their own.
C. They always make wrong judgments.
D. They need supports of responsible adults.
14. Who does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Parents. B. Teenagers.
C Psychologists. D. Adults.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Divided Opinions on Young Adventurers
B. Problems Faced by Adventurous Teens

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Several years ago I worked in an international company selling computer devices. At the time I had to travel around the country as a part of my work. I remember clearly that I was at a stage of my life where I only cared about how to earn more money.
Once, I went to the airport to take a bus to downtown as usual. The routine was as follows: get into the city, take the bus to the hotel, visit the customer, work late, take the bus back to the airport and fly back. . . Somehow, that day I decided to take the stairs down to a different exit, where I found a beautiful garden I had never seen before. I waited there and enjoyed the scenery until the bus came.
I was used to the seat behind the driver. However, that day I sat on a seat in the middle and a boy was seated next to me and he was carrying a great many suitcases. He turned to me suddenly and gave me one of the most sincere smiles I had ever seen from a stranger. He said warmly, "hi, the perfect day in the perfect place, isn't it "
I remember saying to myself-this must be one of those typical people who is young and just thinks everything in the world is beautiful and easy. Why was he annoying me when I just wanted to enjoy the bus ride But out of politeness, I answered, “Really perfect! Did your dear parents pay for you to have some vacations on the beach ” “No, I don't have parents and I'm not here for vacation.” He shook his head instantly, “I'm here to achieve my biggest dream. Actually, I'm on the way to the army school where my grandfather studied a long time ago.”
