Barton Seaver is a chef and conservationist who wants our help to save the oceans.He believes that our eating choices have a direct impact on the ocean’s health.In this interview,Seaver discusses how individuals can make a big difference by making informed choices.
Q:Should people stop eating seafood
A:There are certain species that have been over fished and that people should definitely avoid.But I don’t think we need to stop eating seafood altogether.I believe that we can save the oceans while continuing to end.For example,some types of seafood,come from well-managed fisheries.And others,such as farmed mussels and oysters,actually help to restore declining wild populations and clean up polluted waters.
Q:What kind of seafood should people eat What should they not eat
A:My general advice is to eat fish and shellfish that are lower on the food chain and that can be harvested with little impact on the environment.Some examples include farmed clams and oysters,anchovies,sardines,and herring.People should not eat the bigger fish of the sea,like tuna,shark,and swordfish.Otherwise,we will face severe shortages of these species and upset the balance of life in the oceans.
Q:Why did you choose to dedicate your life to the ocean
A:I believe that the next great advance in human knowledge will come from learning how we relate to our natural world.I have dedicated myself to helping people understand our place on this planet through the foods that we eat.
Q:Why do you believe people should care about the health of the oceans
A:The health of the oceans is directly linked to the health of people.The ocean provides most of the air that we breathe.It has a big effect on the weather.It also provides a necessary and vital diet for billions of people on the planet.So I am indeed trying to save the vital things that we rely on the ocean for.
4.Which statement might Barton Seaver agree with
A.Fish farming is bad for the ocean.
B.Fish higher on the food chain should be eaten.
C.Overfishing has caused great damage to all species.
D.It’s OK to eat seafood from well-managed fisheries.
5.What’s Barton Seaver’s main message in the interview
A.We can understand our planet through the foods we eat.
B.We need to protect the ocean because of its supply of food.
C.Individuals’ right food choices can impact the ocean positively.
D.People should stop eating seafood to restore the ocean ecosystem.
6.In what TV program will the interview appear
A.Science and Technology.
B.Man and Nature.
C.Mystery of the Ocean.
D.Codes of Best Cuisines.
7.Which words can best describe Barton Seaver
A.Devoted and far-seeing.

C.Brave and risk-taking.
D.Ambitious and creative.

Around 1,500 endangered and rare languages are at a high risk of being lost in the next century,according to a study published on Thursday in Nature Ecology and Evolution.
The study found that around half of the world’s 7,000 documented languages are endangered.It also found that greater road density was associated with higher risk of endangerment.
“It’s as if roads are helping dominant languages overwhelm other smaller languages,” co-author and professor at the Australian National University Lindell Bromham said in a press release.
Greater endangerment was also associated with higher average years of schooling,suggesting that formal education contributes to loss of language diversity.“Mainstream education in a dominant language can lead to loss of competence in minority languages.We urgently need to invest in bilingual education and develop programs that allow communities to bring their heritage language into schools,to make sure the language stays strong and is passed on to future generations,” Bromham told CBS News.
The study found that unless there is intervention,the world could lose at least one language per month,with language loss three times more in the next 40 years.The authors recommended “urgent investment” in community-based programs like bilingual education programs and language documentation.And some of the recommendations that experts made 20 years ago are still the same:governments should remove bans on languages and adults should encourage children to speak other languages—including their native language.
“Each language is a reflection on the creativity and inventiveness of human minds,a beautiful and fascinating solution to complex communication challenges,” Bromham told CBS News.“Most importantly,for many people,language symbolizes cultural identity and belonging.Many groups mourn the decline of unique languages and long for competency in languages no longer spoken.”
8.What was related with higher risk of language endangerment
A.Less road density.
B.Unpopularity among language learners.
C.Greater competence of small languages.
D.Higher average years of schooling.
9.What should governments do to preserve language diversity
A.Stop bans on languages.
B.Create more language education programs.
C.Put more investment in language research.
D.Encourage people to speak other languages.
10.What do we know from the text
A.Investment is needed in bilingual education.
B.Language loss results in mainstream education.
C.Half of the world’s current languages are lost.
D.Dominant languages are symbols of cultural identity.
11.What is the text mainly about
A.The causes of language loss.
B.The high risk of language loss.
C.The measures of language protection.
D.The importance of language diversity.
D
Daily physical activity is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.For this reason,many architects and designers are working to create buildings that encourage people to make exercise a part of their ordinary routine.The movement to promote healthy activity through architecture is called active design.It began in 1998 as part of a university public health program,and it has since gained popularity in cities around the world.Active design uses a number of techniques to encourage the occupants of a building to be more active.
One of the most important strategies of active design is inspiring people to make walking part of their routine.A particularly successful tool for promoting walking is the skip-stop elevator.These elevators stop only on every second or third floor,leaving riders to take the stairs in order to reach their destination.Another strategy of active design is to make stairs more pleasant and inviting.Instead of creating dark stairwells that are located in isolated parts of buildings,active design uses well-lit and centrally placed stairs to encourage more foot traffic.Skip-stop elevators and appealing stair design are both effective tools of active design because they offer incentive and opportunity for exercise.In fact,researchers studying a building that employs both skip-stop elevators and more attractive stair design said that 70 percent of building occupants reported using the stairs every day.
Active design encourages physical activity using not only the interior features of a building,but the relationship between a building and its surroundings as well.A building that employs active design may integrate outdoor space in order to make the environment more engaging and promote physical activity.Some elements that architects use to incorporate the exterior with the interior are glass walls,interior gardens or park spaces,and courtyards with open ceilings,all of which de-emphasize the boundaries between the inside and outside.These elements make the building more physically and mentally invigorating.Similarly,by increasing the number of entrances and exits to a building,architects can help keep a building’s users interested in their surroundings by providing a variety of routes for them to use.If people continue to be stimulated by new sights or experiences,they are less likely to choose the quickest and easiest path to their destination and may instead choose a more physically challenging route.
12.What does the underlined word “incentive” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Requirement. B.Encouragement.
C.Technique. D.Assistance.
13.Why does the author discuss dark stairwells in paragraph 2
A.To demonstrate the differences between elevator and stairwell design.
B.To describe one advantage of using skip-stop elevators in buildings.
C.To make a point about why people don’t use the stairs often.
D.To argue that skip-stop elevators may lead to design failures.
14.Which of the following is NOT a way that architects weaken the boundary between indoor and outdoor spaces
A.Creating more routes for entering and exiting.
B.Building gardens inside the building.
C.Creating spaces with open ceilings.
D.Using see-through materials.
15.How does paragraph 2 relate to paragraph 3 in the passage
A.Paragraph 2 describes an early model of the design discussed in paragraph 3.
B.Paragraph 3 argues about the effectiveness of the technique from paragraph 2.
C.Paragraph 3 introduces a different strategy from the one discussed in paragraph 2.
D.Paragraph 2 explains a technique,and paragraph 3 gives examples of how it is used.

It is always said that China is the homeland of tea,which has a very long history of tea. 16 However,unlike the western custom of using a convenient teabag,Chinese go to a lot of effort and time to prepare good tea for their guests,using tea-leaves,natural spring water and a special kettle etc.to create worldwide famous tea culture.Tea is not just a drinkable beverage(饮料),but also a taste of Chinese traditional culture and inheritance of spirit.Unsurprisingly,there are various tea-leaves in China. 17
Color
18 Good green tea-leaves have jade green with fresh vitality.Twisted pan green tea shows glossy gray green.If some of the tea-leaves have dry,dark and brown colors,it means it is old tea.If the leaves have mixed,large contrasting colors,it is believed that the tea is mixed with yellow leaves,old leaves and even old tea,which does not live up to the standard of good tea.
Flavor
New tea is extremely clear and transparent with strong aroma(芳香),while old tea is characterized by brown color and weak fragrance.Take green tea and black tea for example,new green tea tastes a little bitter first,and then the fresh sweet taste begins to surface gradually,leaving a long and memorable aftertaste in the mouth. 19
Place of origin
There is a great gap of quality among various places of origin. 20 For example,it is well-known that Yunnan produces the best quality Pu’er tea and premium Oolong tea can be found within Fujian Province.
A.Every tea-leaf has its own shape.
B.Some varieties are identified by tightness of the leaves.
C.It is always advised to select tea from its main producing areas.
D.While you’re selecting tea,you should pay attention to following aspects.
E.For foreigners in China,drinking tea may seem like a simple refreshment.
F.Generally,new tea-leaves look fresh and pleasing,with light green or dark green.
G.On the contrary,if bitter taste takes the lead and fresh sweet taste subsides,it is bad tea.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
An urgent call came into Jim Green’s bar this past March.A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the beach bar,couldn’t find her wallet.She didn’t care about her ID,credit cards,or $150 in cash—but her wedding ring was inside.
Jim,42,didn’t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place.So he set out to find the wallet.He spent hours checking the video tapes from 16 different surveillance cameras(监控摄像机),watching the woman’s every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived.Within minutes,a young man approached the bench,quickly put something in his pocket,and walked off.Jim posted a clip on the bar’s Meta page.“I just asked if anybody knew who the guy was,” Jim said.
Within hours,Jim got a text from 17-year-old Peter.Peter admitted to having taken the wallet and told Jim he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days.He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake,so he took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks into the ocean.Then he bought a sandwich.
Jim,unsure whether he believed Peter,told the teen to meet him at the docks.There,they got to talking,and Peter revealed that he wasn’t getting along with his family and had been living in the woods for a week.Jim,a father of two,looked closely at Peter—his small height,his ruddy cheeks—and saw him for what he was:more of a kid than a criminal.
But the risks were high.The police were already on the case,and because of the missing ring,Peter could be facing a serious crime charge.“I had to help him somehow,” Jim says.
The police wanted Jim to bring the teen down to the station.Instead,Jim called the police and told them,“He’s going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Jim hired two local divers to search the waters where Peter had thrown the wallet.
And then a diver popped up.

写作
第一节
Nowadays,many students go abroad for further study.As for their accommodation,I think it better to live in a host family.
To begin with,many students feel homesick abroad.In that case,a host family gives them a sense of belonging and makes them feel warm at heart.What’s more,they can communicate with the natives more conveniently in a host family.It not only improves their spoken language but also helps them learn more about that country.
In conclusion,I firmly believe students should live in a host family while studying abroad.
第二节
Jim hired two local divers to search the waters where Peter had thrown the wallet.A detective was waiting for them there.A crowd had gathered to watch the two divers search in the strong current.More than an hour passed,with no sign of the ring.Jim grew worried,especially when the detective began questioning Peter,trying to get him to admit keeping the ring.
And then a diver popped up.In his hand was the wallet,and inside was the ring.Cheers broke out in the crowd.When Jim called the wallet’s owner,she burst into tears.She promptly dropped the charge against Peter for stealing the ring.But it wasn’t over for Jim.He’d been troubled about Peter sleeping in the cold woods.Jim knew his home was big enough to give Peter a place to live in for a while.He told the teen he could stay with his family until the boy got on his feet again.

Barton Seaver is a chef and conservationist who wants our help to save the oceans.He believes that our eating choices have a direct impact on the ocean’s health.In this interview,Seaver discusses how individuals can make a big difference by making informed choices.
Q:Should people stop eating seafood
A:There are certain species that have been over fished and that people should definitely avoid.But I don’t think we need to stop eating seafood altogether.I believe that we can save the oceans while continuing to end.For example,some types of seafood,come from well-managed fisheries.And others,such as farmed mussels and oysters,actually help to restore declining wild populations and clean up polluted waters.
Q:What kind of seafood should people eat What should they not eat
A:My general advice is to eat fish and shellfish that are lower on the food chain and that can be harvested with little impact on the environment.Some examples include farmed clams and oysters,anchovies,sardines,and herring.People should not eat the bigger fish of the sea,like tuna,shark,and swordfish.Otherwise,we will face severe shortages of these species and upset the balance of life in the oceans.
Q:Why did you choose to dedicate your life to the ocean
A:I believe that the next great advance in human knowledge will come from learning how we relate to our natural world.I have dedicated myself to helping people understand our place on this planet through the foods that we eat.
Q:Why do you believe people should care about the health of the oceans
A:The health of the oceans is directly linked to the health of people.The ocean provides most of the air that we breathe.It has a big effect on the weather.It also provides a necessary and vital diet for billions of people on the planet.So I am indeed trying to save the vital things that we rely on the ocean for.
4.Which statement might Barton Seaver agree with
A.Fish farming is bad for the ocean.
B.Fish higher on the food chain should be eaten.
C.Overfishing has caused great damage to all species.
D.It’s OK to eat seafood from well-managed fisheries.
5.What’s Barton Seaver’s main message in the interview
A.We can understand our planet through the foods we eat.
B.We need to protect the ocean because of its supply of food.
C.Individuals’ right food choices can impact the ocean positively.
D.People should stop eating seafood to restore the ocean ecosystem.
6.In what TV program will the interview appear
A.Science and Technology.
B.Man and Nature.
C.Mystery of the Ocean.
D.Codes of Best Cuisines.
7.Which words can best describe Barton Seaver
A.Devoted and far-seeing.

Around 1,500 endangered and rare languages are at a high risk of being lost in the next century,according to a study published on Thursday in Nature Ecology and Evolution.
The study found that around half of the world’s 7,000 documented languages are endangered.It also found that greater road density was associated with higher risk of endangerment.
“It’s as if roads are helping dominant languages overwhelm other smaller languages,” co-author and professor at the Australian National University Lindell Bromham said in a press release.
Greater endangerment was also associated with higher average years of schooling,suggesting that formal education contributes to loss of language diversity.“Mainstream education in a dominant language can lead to loss of competence in minority languages.We urgently need to invest in bilingual education and develop programs that allow communities to bring their heritage language into schools,to make sure the language stays strong and is passed on to future generations,” Bromham told CBS News.
The study found that unless there is intervention,the world could lose at least one language per month,with language loss three times more in the next 40 years.The authors recommended “urgent investment” in community-based programs like bilingual education programs and language documentation.And some of the recommendations that experts made 20 years ago are still the same:governments should remove bans on languages and adults should encourage children to speak other languages—including their native language.
“Each language is a reflection on the creativity and inventiveness of human minds,a beautiful and fascinating solution to complex communication challenges,” Bromham told CBS News.“Most importantly,for many people,language symbolizes cultural identity and belonging.Many groups mourn the decline of unique languages and long for competency in languages no longer spoken.”
8.What was related with higher risk of language endangerment
A.Less road density.
B.Unpopularity among language learners.
C.Greater competence of small languages.
D.Higher average years of schooling.
9.What should governments do to preserve language diversity
A.Stop bans on languages.
B.Create more language education programs.
C.Put more investment in language research.
D.Encourage people to speak other languages.
10.What do we know from the text
A.Investment is needed in bilingual education.
B.Language loss results in mainstream education.
C.Half of the world’s current languages are lost.
D.Dominant languages are symbols of cultural identity.
11.What is the text mainly about
A.The causes of language loss.
B.The high risk of language loss.
C.The measures of language protection.
D.The importance of language diversity.
D
Daily physical activity is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.For this reason,many architects and designers are working to create buildings that encourage people to make exercise a part of their ordinary routine.The movement to promote healthy activity through architecture is called active design.It began in 1998 as part of a university public health program,and it has since gained popularity in cities around the world.Active design uses a number of techniques to encourage the occupants of a building to be more active.
One of the most important strategies of active design is inspiring people to make walking part of their routine.A particularly successful tool for promoting walking is the skip-stop elevator.These elevators stop only on every second or third floor,leaving riders to take the stairs in order to reach their destination.Another strategy of active design is to make stairs more pleasant and inviting.Instead of creating dark stairwells that are located in isolated parts of buildings,active design uses well-lit and centrally placed stairs to encourage more foot traffic.Skip-stop elevators and appealing stair design are both effective tools of active design because they offer incentive and opportunity for exercise.In fact,researchers studying a building that employs both skip-stop elevators and more attractive stair design said that 70 percent of building occupants reported using the stairs every day.
Active design encourages physical activity using not only the interior features of a building,but the relationship between a building and its surroundings as well.A building that employs active design may integrate outdoor space in order to make the environment more engaging and promote physical activity.Some elements that architects use to incorporate the exterior with the interior are glass walls,interior gardens or park spaces,and courtyards with open ceilings,all of which de-emphasize the boundaries between the inside and outside.These elements make the building more physically and mentally invigorating.Similarly,by increasing the number of entrances and exits to a building,architects can help keep a building’s users interested in their surroundings by providing a variety of routes for them to use.If people continue to be stimulated by new sights or experiences,they are less likely to choose the quickest and easiest path to their destination and may instead choose a more physically challenging route.
12.What does the underlined word “incentive” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Requirement. B.Encouragement.
C.Technique. D.Assistance.
13.Why does the author discuss dark stairwells in paragraph 2
A.To demonstrate the differences between elevator and stairwell design.
B.To describe one advantage of using skip-stop elevators in buildings.
C.To make a point about why people don’t use the stairs often.
D.To argue that skip-stop elevators may lead to design failures.
14.Which of the following is NOT a way that architects weaken the boundary between indoor and outdoor spaces
A.Creating more routes for entering and exiting.
B.Building gardens inside the building.
C.Creating spaces with open ceilings.
D.Using see-through materials.
15.How does paragraph 2 relate to paragraph 3 in the passage
A.Paragraph 2 describes an early model of the design discussed in paragraph 3.
B.Paragraph 3 argues about the effectiveness of the technique from paragraph 2.
C.Paragraph 3 introduces a different strategy from the one discussed in paragraph 2.

It is always said that China is the homeland of tea,which has a very long history of tea. 16 However,unlike the western custom of using a convenient teabag,Chinese go to a lot of effort and time to prepare good tea for their guests,using tea-leaves,natural spring water and a special kettle etc.to create worldwide famous tea culture.Tea is not just a drinkable beverage(饮料),but also a taste of Chinese traditional culture and inheritance of spirit.Unsurprisingly,there are various tea-leaves in China. 17
Color
18 Good green tea-leaves have jade green with fresh vitality.Twisted pan green tea shows glossy gray green.If some of the tea-leaves have dry,dark and brown colors,it means it is old tea.If the leaves have mixed,large contrasting colors,it is believed that the tea is mixed with yellow leaves,old leaves and even old tea,which does not live up to the standard of good tea.
Flavor
New tea is extremely clear and transparent with strong aroma(芳香),while old tea is characterized by brown color and weak fragrance.Take green tea and black tea for example,new green tea tastes a little bitter first,and then the fresh sweet taste begins to surface gradually,leaving a long and memorable aftertaste in the mouth. 19
Place of origin
There is a great gap of quality among various places of origin. 20 For example,it is well-known that Yunnan produces the best quality Pu’er tea and premium Oolong tea can be found within Fujian Province.
A.Every tea-leaf has its own shape.
B.Some varieties are identified by tightness of the leaves.
C.It is always advised to select tea from its main producing areas.
D.While you’re selecting tea,you should pay attention to following aspects.
E.For foreigners in China,drinking tea may seem like a simple refreshment.
F.Generally,new tea-leaves look fresh and pleasing,with light green or dark green.
G.On the contrary,if bitter taste takes the lead and fresh sweet taste subsides,it is bad tea.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
An urgent call came into Jim Green’s bar this past March.A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the beach bar,couldn’t find her wallet.She didn’t care about her ID,credit cards,or $150 in cash—but her wedding ring was inside.
Jim,42,didn’t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place.So he set out to find the wallet.He spent hours checking the video tapes from 16 different surveillance cameras(监控摄像机),watching the woman’s every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived.Within minutes,a young man approached the bench,quickly put something in his pocket,and walked off.Jim posted a clip on the bar’s Meta page.“I just asked if anybody knew who the guy was,” Jim said.
Within hours,Jim got a text from 17-year-old Peter.Peter admitted to having taken the wallet and told Jim he’d done it because he hadn’t eaten in two days.He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake,so he took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks into the ocean.Then he bought a sandwich.
Jim,unsure whether he believed Peter,told the teen to meet him at the docks.There,they got to talking,and Peter revealed that he wasn’t getting along with his family and had been living in the woods for a week.Jim,a father of two,looked closely at Peter—his small height,his ruddy cheeks—and saw him for what he was:more of a kid than a criminal.
But the risks were high.The police were already on the case,and because of the missing ring,Peter could be facing a serious crime charge.“I had to help him somehow,” Jim says.
The police wanted Jim to bring the teen down to the station.Instead,Jim called the police and told them,“He’s going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Jim hired two local divers to search the waters where Peter had thrown the wallet.
And then a diver popped up.

写作
第一节
Nowadays,many students go abroad for further study.As for their accommodation,I think it better to live in a host family.
To begin with,many students feel homesick abroad.In that case,a host family gives them a sense of belonging and makes them feel warm at heart.What’s more,they can communicate with the natives more conveniently in a host family.It not only improves their spoken language but also helps them learn more about that country.
In conclusion,I firmly believe students should live in a host family while studying abroad.
第二节
Jim hired two local divers to search the waters where Peter had thrown the wallet.A detective was waiting for them there.A crowd had gathered to watch the two divers search in the strong current.More than an hour passed,with no sign of the ring.Jim grew worried,especially when the detective began questioning Peter,trying to get him to admit keeping the ring.
And then a diver popped up.In his hand was the wallet,and inside was the ring.Cheers broke out in the crowd.When Jim called the wallet’s owner,she burst into tears.She promptly dropped the charge against Peter for stealing the ring.But it wasn’t over for Jim.He’d been troubled about Peter sleeping in the cold woods.Jim knew his home was big enough to give Peter a place to live in for a while.He told the teen he could stay with his family until the boy got on his feet again.
