Abdullah was born in Terengganu, a state on the eastern coast of the Malaysian Peninsular, known for its beautiful tropical islands. Growing up on the coast, he felt a close bond with the ocean. After being adopted as a child, he would escape from his strict home to the seaside to free himself.
The local adults would consider him a strange diving instructor, “who spent his days in the water and spoke to corals (珊瑚) as if they were people”. For a long time, he worked unknown to the public and at times in poverty. But it was this closeness to the sea that led him to study the marine (海洋的) environment, and later, earn a scholarship in Oceanography at the Florida Institute of Technology. With the travels across the globe that this research involved, Abdullah learned about the extensive degradation (退化) in the marine ecosystem. He was enthusiastic about the need to take action to restore the damaged and dying coral reefs.
Abdullah set up Ocean Quest Global in Malaysia in 2010, an environmental organization focusing on coral reef protection. It was buoyed by volunteers working throughout Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean. Its founder has spent most of his life on the coral reefs of Malaysia, observing their behavior and life cycles, and conducting his own research.
In less than a decade, Abdullah’s organization had expanded to several countries like Thailand, Brunei, and the Philippines. It has over 800 trainers across the world, working on 180 islands, roost of them in Thailand. Most recently, the organization has been actively working on the restoration of Maya Bay on Ko Phi Phi Leh Island, Thailand. It is also building the first subtropical coral nursery in Egypt, reports the diving industry portal, ADEX Ocean Vision.
4. Why would Abdullah go to the seaside in his childhood
A. To connect with nature. B. To learn to dive.
C. To admire the scenery. D. To enjoy freedom.
5. What directly caused Abdullah to travel worldwide
A. The damaged dying coral reefs. B. The related research.
C. The worsened marine ecosystem. D. The locals’ requirement.
6. What does the underlined word “buoyed” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Determined. B. Ignored. C. Supported. D. Started.
7. What can we lean from the last paragraph
A. The coral nursery in Egypt is much more popular.
B. Abdullah’s organization has a powerful influence.
C. The reefs throughout Southeast Asia are restored.
D. Abdullah is bound to have made a large fortune.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了马来西亚的Abdullah从小致力于保护珊瑚礁的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“After being adopted as a child, he would escape from his strict home to the seaside to free himself.(小时候被收养后，他会从严格的家里逃到海边解放自己)”可知，Abdullah童年为了摆脱束缚、享受自由，经常去海边。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But it was this closeness to the sea that led him to study the marine (海洋的) environment, and later, earn a scholarship in Oceanography at the Florida Institute of Technology. With the travels across the globe that this research involved, Abdullah learned about the extensive degradation (退化) in the marine ecosystem.(但正是这种与海洋的亲近让他研究了海洋环境，后来在佛罗里达理工学院获得了海洋学奖学金。在这项研究涉及的全球旅行中，Abdullah了解到了海洋生态系统的广泛退化)”可推知，相关的研究直接促使Abdullah环游全球。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“It was buoyed by volunteers working throughout Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean. Its founder has spent most of his life on the coral reefs of Malaysia, observing their behavior and life cycles, and conducting his own research.(它被东南亚和印度洋各地工作的志愿者buoyed。其创始人一生大部分时间都在马来西亚的珊瑚礁上度过，观察它们的行为和生命周期，并进行自己的研究)”可知，海洋探索全球组织得到创始人和各地志愿者的支持，推测划线单词表示“支持”，与supported同义。故选C。

It has over 800 trainers across the world, working on 180 islands, roost of them in Thailand.(在不到十年的时间里，Abdullah的组织已经扩展到泰国、文莱和菲律宾等几个国家。它在世界各地有800多名培训师，在180个岛屿上工作，其中大部分在泰国)”可知，Abdullah的组织扩展到多个国家，他的组织有很大的影响力。故选B。
C
Every morning in a city in Indonesia’s far east, sleepy teenagers can be seen walk slowly and with heavy steps through the streets on their unwilling way to school.
It is not a scene from some sci-fi movie but a controversial experiment to get the day off to a much earlier start for the sleep-deprived (缺乏睡眠的) teens. The pilot project in Kupang has twelfth-graders at 10 high schools start classes at 5:30 am.
Authorities say the project is intended to heighten children’s discipline. According to parents, though, their children are worn out by the time they get home. Schools in Indonesia generally start between 7:00 and 8:00 am. Teens in their school uniforms are now walking down dark streets or waiting for motorcycle taxis to get to school on time.
“It is extremely difficult and they now have to leave home while it’s still completely dark. I can’t accept this, for their safety is not guaranteed when it’s dark and quiet.” Rambu Ata, a mother to a 16-year-old, said, whose daughter Eureka now has to wake up at 4:00 am to get ready and ride a motorbike to school. “Now every time Eurek arrives home she is exhausted and falls asleep immediately.”
At least one scholar seems to agree.
“It has no connection with the effort to improve the quality of education,” Marsel Robot, an education expert from Nusa Cendana University. “In the long run, sleep deprivation could endanger the students’ health and cause a shift in behaviour. They will only sleep for a few hours and this is a serious risk for their health. This also will cause them stress and they will release their stress by acting out.”
A 2014 study published by the American Academy of paediatrics (儿科学) recommended that middle and high schoolers start classes at 8:30 am or later to allow enough time for sleep. The Kupang rule change was also challenged by local politicians, who demanded the government cancel what they called a baseless policy.
8. What is the purpose of the pilot project
A. To punish students’ mistakes. B. To let students learn more knowledge.
C. To deprive students of sleep. D. To strengthen students’ self-control.
9. What does Ata think of the project
A. Controversial. B. Unacceptable. C. Uncontrollable. D. Critical
10. What is Robot’s concern
A. Students’ safety. B. The stress of parents.
C. Students’ health. D. The quality of education.
11. What’s the best title for the text
A. An Unpopular Move for Teens to Start School at 5:30 am
B. Some Problems Existing Among Indonesia’s Teenagers
C. An Unsuccessful Experiment Concerning Safety
D. The Popularity of a Pilot Project in Kupang
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了印度尼西亚的古邦市让学生5:30上学，这引起了人们的争议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Authorities say the project is intended to heighten children’s discipline.(有关部门表示，该项目旨在加强儿童自律)”可知，当地政府的试点项目是为了加强孩子们的自制力。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“I can’t accept this, for their safety is not guaranteed when it’s dark and quiet.(我不能接受这一点，因为在黑暗和安静的时候，他们的安全得不到保证)”可推断，Ata认为这个项目让人难以接受。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“In the long run, sleep deprivation could endanger the students’ health and cause a shift in behaviour. They will only sleep for a few hours and this is a serious risk for their health.(从长远来看，睡眠不足可能会危及学生的健康，并导致行为上的转变。他们只会睡几个小时，这对他们的健康是一个严重的风险)”可知，Robot担忧学生的健康问题。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“It is not a scene from some sci-fi movie but a controversial experiment to get the day off to a much earlier start for the sleep-deprived (缺乏睡眠的) teens. The pilot project in Kupang has twelfth-graders at 10 high schools start classes at 5:30 am.(这不是科幻电影里的场景，而是一项备受争议的实验，目的是让睡眠不足的青少年早早开始一天的生活。在古邦的试点项目中，10所高中的12年级学生在早上5:30开始上课)”结合文章主要介绍了印度尼西亚的古邦市让学生5:30上学，这引起了人们的争议。故A项“不受欢迎的举措：让青少年在早上五点半开始上学”能够概括本文的主题。故选A。
D
Where does food waste go In most countries around the world, it goes into landfills (垃圾填埋场). But not in South Korea. The country banned food waste in landfills nearly 20 years ago and today, it is turned into animal feed, fertilizers and fuel.
Around the globe, 1.4 billion tons of food is thrown away every year. The waste goes into landfills where it can pollute the land and water as well as releasing methane — a greenhouse gas — into the air. In fact, food waste is the third-largest source of methane in the US.
The system that is in place in South Korea keeps almost 100 percent of unused food out of landfills. While other cities and local governments have put similar plans in place, it is not done anywhere else on a country-wide basis.
There are two reasons why South Korea passed laws to carry out mandatory (强制性的) recycling of food waste. First, the country’s cooking tradition of numerous small dishes resulted in large amounts of uneaten food. This food waste went into landfills. But the country’s mountainous geography didn’t allow for enough landfills to be built. That’s why the government forced recycling of paper and plastic in 1995 but food waste continued to be buried in landfills. But it was the neighbors of these landfills that demanded that another solution be found due to the very unpleasant smell from rotting food. The government banned organic waste from landfills in 2005. Another law that was passed in 2013 banned dumping liquid food waste in the ocean.
The system is not free but most of the cost is absorbed by the country. People can buy yellow recycling bags that are picked up on the roadside and some local governments have placed autonomous food waste collectors that require residents to pay a weight-based fee by using cards.
The food waste is collected from the bins every day except Sunday. Some of it is used to make animal feed or fertilizers and some is used to make fuel.
12. What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph 2
A. The US is worried about landfills. B. Landfills are the most common.
C. Greenhouse gas is hard to avoid. D. Food waste can cause much harm.
13. What does the author want to say in paragraph 3
A. Other governments don’t plan to recycle food waste.
B. 100 percent of food waste goes into landfills worldwide.
C. South Korea is successful in dealing with the unused food.
D. South Korea should follow others’ way of building the system.
14. What probably led to the ban in 2005
A. Some people’s appeal. B. Insufficient landfill sites.
C. Unhealthy traditional diets. D. Large amounts of food waste.
15. How can people respond to the ban on waste from landfills
A. By avoiding using cards. B. By purchasing recycling bags.
C. By paying the cost of collectors. D. By picking up waste on the roadside.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了韩国处理食物垃圾的方式，这有助于其他国家借鉴。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Around the globe, 1.4 billion tons of food is thrown away every year. The waste goes into landfills where it can pollute the land and water as well as releasing methane — a greenhouse gas — into the air. In fact, food waste is the third-largest source of methane in the US.(全球每年有14亿吨食物被丢弃。这些废物被送到垃圾填埋场，在那里它会污染土地和水，并向空气中释放甲烷——一种温室气体。事实上，食物垃圾是美国第三大甲烷来源)”可知，作者在第二段主要描述了食物垃圾带来的危害。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The system that is in place in South Korea keeps almost 100 percent of unused food out of landfills.(韩国实施的这一系统几乎100%避免了未使用的食物进入垃圾填埋场)”可推知，韩国在处理未使用的食物方面很成功。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But it was the neighbors of these landfills that demanded that another solution be found due to the very unpleasant smell from rotting food. The government banned organic waste from landfills in 2005.(但这些垃圾填埋场的邻居们要求找到另一种解决方案，因为腐烂的食物散发出非常难闻的气味。2005年，政府禁止有机废物进入垃圾填埋场)”可推知，一些人的呼吁可能导致了2005年的禁令。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“People can buy yellow recycling bags that are picked up on the roadside and some local governments have placed autonomous food waste collectors that require residents to pay a weight-based fee by using cards.(人们可以买在路边拿起的黄色垃圾袋，一些地方政府安置了自动食物垃圾收集器，要求居民用卡支付按重量计算的费用)”可知，人们可以通过购买回收袋来应对垃圾填埋禁令。故选B。

It was a jam-packed day for 24-year-old Justin. While his hot dog stand at the local park in his hometown did well every day, that day was different. The stall was full of customers, and he was struggling to keep up.
“3 hot dogs, please!” someone ordered as Justin handed the recent orders, and he quickly got about his work.
“Coming right up!” he replied with a smile.
“Thank you! Have a nice day!” the customer replied upon receiving the orders, and Justin quickly got busy with the next one. Then he noticed an old woman pushing her way through the crowd to get to his counter (柜台).
“Excuse me, son. How much would a hot dog be ” she asked, looking at him.
“Depends on what you want, ma’ am. They range from $3 to $7. You can check out the menu and let me know what you want,” he replied.
“But that’s expensive for me,” she mumbled (咕哝), looking at the prices. “It’s alright. I was just curious how much they cost. I don’t want any,” she added before walking away.
Justin noticed she went away and sat alone on a bench across from his stand. She kept looking in his direction, meanwhile touching her stomach occasionally. Justin couldn’t help watching her because of strong curiosity. She was fully dressed with an information card worn around her neck. She might get lost because of something unexpected. Her face wasn’t as rosy as others and her lips were dry. Justin wondered whether she would need any help. However, once they made eye contact, she always looked away quickly.
Eventually, Justin realized she wanted a hot dog but couldn’t afford one, so he stopped what he was doing and walked over to her with food and drink. “I apologize, ma’am. I was in such a rush that I forgot to tell you you’re our 50th customer of the day, so you get a free hot dog,” he said upon approaching her. “Let me know how you like it!”

【答案】Justin gave her the food, noticing some nervousness on her face. She accepted the hot dog, thanking Justin in a low voice. As she was eating, Justin noticed a piece of paper with a phone number written on it. Realizing the old woman may need his help, Justin called the number and explained the situation. The old woman’s family was delighted to hear from him. They had been looking for her for hours, and Justin’s call was of great help.
Before Justine waited long, her family arrived in a hurry. They were overjoyed to see the old woman safe and sound, and thanked Justin for his kindness. One of them explained the old woman had been suffering from memory loss and had wandered away from their home, and that Justin’s call was the only way they found her. Hearing their thanks and the explanation, Justin felt a sense of pride and fulfillment. He realized that small acts of kindness can have a huge effect, spreading positivity and making a difference in people’s lives.

Abdullah was born in Terengganu a state on the eastern coast of the Malaysian Peninsular, known for its beautiful tropical islands. Growing up on the coast, he felt a close bond with the ocean. After being adopted as a child, he would escape from his strict home to the seaside to free himself.
The local adults would consider him a strange diving instructor, “who spent his days in the water and spoke to corals (珊瑚) as if they were people”. For a long time, he worked unknown to the public and at times in poverty. But it was this closeness to the sea that led him to study the marine (海洋的) environment, and later, earn a scholarship in Oceanography at the Florida Institute of Technology. With the travels across the globe that this research involved, Abdullah learned about the extensive degradation (退化) in the marine ecosystem. He was enthusiastic about the need to take action to restore the damaged and dying coral reefs.
Abdullah set up Ocean Quest Global in Malaysia in 2010, an environmental organization focusing on coral reef protection. It was buoyed by volunteers working throughout Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean. Its founder has spent most of his life on the coral reefs of Malaysia, observing their behavior and life cycles, and conducting his own research.
In less than a decade, Abdullah’s organization had expanded to several countries like Thailand, Brunei, and the Philippines. It has over 800 trainers across the world, working on 180 islands, roost of them in Thailand. Most recently, the organization has been actively working on the restoration of Maya Bay on Ko Phi Phi Leh Island, Thailand. It is also building the first subtropical coral nursery in Egypt, reports the diving industry portal, ADEX Ocean Vision.
4. Why would Abdullah go to the seaside in his childhood
A. To connect with nature. B. To learn to dive.
C. To admire the scenery. D. To enjoy freedom.
5. What directly caused Abdullah to travel worldwide
A The damaged dying coral reefs. B. The related research.
C. The worsened marine ecosystem. D. The locals’ requirement.

7. What can we lean from the last paragraph

Every morning in a city in Indonesia’s far east, sleepy teenagers can be seen walk slowly and with heavy steps through the streets on their unwilling way to school.
It is not a scene from some sci-fi movie but a controversial experiment to get the day off to a much earlier start for the sleep-deprived (缺乏睡眠的) teens. The pilot project in Kupang has twelfth-graders at 10 high schools start classes at 5:30 am.
Authorities say the project is intended to heighten children’s discipline. According to parents, though, their children are worn out by the time they get home. Schools in Indonesia generally start between 7:00 and 8:00 am. Teens in their school uniforms are now walking down dark streets or waiting for motorcycle taxis to get to school on time.
“It is extremely difficult and they now have to leave home while it’s still completely dark. I can’t accept this, for their safety is not guaranteed when it’s dark and quiet.” Rambu Ata, a mother to a 16-year-old, said, whose daughter Eureka now has to wake up at 4:00 am to get ready and ride a motorbike to school. “Now every time Eurek arrives home she is exhausted and falls asleep immediately.”
At least one scholar seems to agree.
“It has no connection with the effort to improve the quality of education,” Marsel Robot, an education expert from Nusa Cendana University. “In the long run, sleep deprivation could endanger the students’ health and cause a shift in behaviour. They will only sleep for a few hours and this is a serious risk for their health. This also will cause them stress and they will release their stress by acting out.”
A 2014 study published by the American Academy of paediatrics (儿科学) recommended that middle and high schoolers start classes at 8:30 am or later to allow enough time for sleep. The Kupang rule change was also challenged by local politicians, who demanded the government cancel what they called a baseless policy.
8. What is the purpose of the pilot project
A. To punish students’ mistakes. B. To let students learn more knowledge.
C. To deprive students of sleep. D. To strengthen students’ self-control.
9. What does Ata think of the project
A. Controversial. B. Unacceptable. C. Uncontrollable. D. Critical
10. What is Robot’s concern
A. Students’ safety. B. The stress of parents.
C. Students’ health. D. The quality of education.
11. What’s the best title for the text
A. An Unpopular Move for Teens to Start School at 5:30 am
B. Some Problems Existing Among Indonesia’s Teenagers
C. An Unsuccessful Experiment Concerning Safety
D. The Popularity of a Pilot Project in Kupang
D
Where does food waste go In most countries around the world, it goes into landfills (垃圾填埋场). But not in South Korea. The country banned food waste in landfills nearly 20 years ago and today, it is turned into animal feed, fertilizers and fuel.
Around the globe, 1.4 billion tons of food is thrown away every year. The waste goes into landfills where it can pollute the land and water as well as releasing methane — a greenhouse gas — into the air. In fact, food waste is the third-largest source of methane in the US.
The system that is in place in South Korea keeps almost 100 percent of unused food out of landfills. While other cities and local governments have put similar plans in place, it is not done anywhere else on a country-wide basis.
There are two reasons why South Korea passed laws to carry out mandatory (强制性的) recycling of food waste. First, the country’s cooking tradition of numerous small dishes resulted in large amounts of uneaten food. This food waste went into landfills. But the country’s mountainous geography didn’t allow for enough landfills to be built. That’s why the government forced recycling of paper and plastic in 1995 but food waste continued to be buried in landfills. But it was the neighbors of these landfills that demanded that another solution be found due to the very unpleasant smell from rotting food. The government banned organic waste from landfills in 2005. Another law that was passed in 2013 banned dumping liquid food waste in the ocean.
The system is not free but most of the cost is absorbed by the country. People can buy yellow recycling bags that are picked up on the roadside and some local governments have placed autonomous food waste collectors that require residents to pay a weight-based fee by using cards.
The food waste is collected from the bins every day except Sunday. Some of it is used to make animal feed or fertilizers and some is used to make fuel.
12. What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph 2
A. The US is worried about landfills. B. Landfills are the most common.
C. Greenhouse gas is hard to avoid. D. Food waste can cause much harm.
13. What does the author want to say in paragraph 3
A. Other governments don’t plan to recycle food waste.
B. 100 percent of food waste goes into landfills worldwide.
C. South Korea is successful in dealing with the unused food.
D. South Korea should follow others’ way of building the system.
14. What probably led to the ban in 2005
A. Some people’s appeal. B. Insufficient landfill sites.
C. Unhealthy traditional diets. D. Large amounts of food waste.

It was a jam-packed day for 24-year-old Justin. While his hot dog stand at the local park in his hometown did well every day, that day was different. The stall was full of customers, and he was struggling to keep up.
“3 hot dogs, please!” someone ordered as Justin handed the recent orders, and he quickly got about his work.
“Coming right up!” he replied with a smile.
“Thank you! Have a nice day!” the customer replied upon receiving the orders, and Justin quickly got busy with the next one. Then he noticed an old woman pushing her way through the crowd to get to his counter (柜台).
“Excuse me, son. How much would a hot dog be ” she asked, looking at him.
“Depends on what you want, ma’ am. They range from $3 to $7. You can check out the menu and let me know what you want,” he replied.
“But that’s expensive for me,” she mumbled (咕哝), looking at the prices. “It’s alright. I was just curious how much they cost. I don’t want any,” she added before walking away.
Justin noticed she went away and sat alone on a bench across from his stand. She kept looking in his direction, meanwhile touching her stomach occasionally. Justin couldn’t help watching her because of strong curiosity. She was fully dressed with an information card worn around her neck. She might get lost because of something unexpected. Her face wasn’t as rosy as others and her lips were dry. Justin wondered whether she would need any help. However, once they made eye contact, she always looked away quickly.
Eventually, Justin realized she wanted a hot dog but couldn’t afford one, so he stopped what he was doing and walked over to her with food and drink. “I apologize, ma’am. I was in such a rush that I forgot to tell you you’re our 50th customer of the day, so you get a free hot dog,” he said upon approaching her. “Let me know how you like it!”
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
