MacArthur's love for sailing dates back to when she was just 4 years old, when she first got the opportunity to have a try on a boat. “It 1 me that this boat had everything we needed to take us anywhere in the world.

Before he sailed round the world alone, Francis Chichester had already surprised his friends several times. He had tried to fly round the world but failed. That was in 1931.
The years passed. He gave up flying and began sailing. He enjoyed it greatly. Chichester was already 58 years old when he won the first solo transatlantic sailing race. His old dream of going round the world came back, but this time he would sail. His friends and doctors did not think he could do it, as he had lung cancer. But Chichester was determined to carry out his plan. In August 1966, at the age of nearly 65, an age when many men retire, he began the greatest voyage of his life.
Chichester covered 14,100 miles before stopping in Sydney, Australia. This was more than twice the distance anyone had previously traveled alone. He arrived in Australia on 12 December, just 107 days out from England. He received a warm welcome from the Australians and from his family who had flown there to meet him. On shore, Chichester could not walk without help. Everybody said the same thing: he had done enough; he must not go any further. But he did not listen.
After resting in Sydney for a few weeks, Chichester set off once more in spite of his friends' attempts to dissuade him. The second half of his voyage was by far the more dangerous part, during which he sailed round the treacherous Cape Horn.After succeeding in sailing round Cape Horn, Chichester sent the following radio message to London: “I feel as if I had wakened from a nightmare. Wild horses could not drag me down to Cape Horn and that sinister Southern Ocean again.”
Just before 9 o'clock on Sunday evening 28 May 1967, he arrived back in England, where a quarter of a million people were waiting to welcome him. Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ knighted(授予爵士称号) him with the very sword that Queen Elizabeth Ⅰ had used almost 400 years earlier to knight Sir Francis Drake after he had sailed round the world for the first time.The whole voyage from England and back had covered 28,500 miles. It had taken him nine months, of which the sailing time was 226 days. He had done what he wanted to accomplish.
1.What can we learn about Chichester
A.He failed the solo transatlantic sailing race in 1959.
B.He was a brave and determined man.
C.The second half of his voyage was not as dangerous as the first half.
D.The radio message expressed his concern about the sailing.
2.What did Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ do after Chichester arrived back in England
A.She called on the English to learn from him.
B.She was waiting to congratulate him on his success in flying.
C.She thought poorly of his achievements.
D.She knighted him for praising him.
3.We can infer from the text that .
A.anyone who had sailed alone traveled less than 7,050 miles before 1966
B.Chichester sailed round the Atlantic in 1931
C.most of the English retire at the age of 65
D.Chichester died of lung cancer in 1967 after he went back to England

I'm an ocean lover. Living in Montreal, far away from the ocean, makes it even more a dreamland for me. 1 And I've been doing it for the last 20 years.
When I was younger, I would pick up seashells and little stones and bring them back home. 2 But as I visited the ocean more and more, I started picking up the garbage left by some people. I picked up less and less “ocean treasure”. 3
I realized that a stone or seashell we find in the ocean had a wonderful color that makes us pick it up. But when it dries up one day, or we don't find what we have kept lovely anymore, what can we do then 4 At the same time, I also realized that natural things were nice in their natural environment. If everybody picked up every shell from the ocean, and left garbage there, the beach would become something not so nice very shortly.
5 I would just “borrow” seashells or little stones from the ocean, and bring them back after a while, since the beauty of shells does so much good to me.
I control the quantity and keep it to the smallest number. So if you've seen a lady picking up garbage and throwing shells back into the ocean from a box or a bag on a beautiful sunny day, don't feel strange. It was probably me.
A.So I made a decision that day.
B.I began to question my habits.
C.I try to visit it at the very least, once a year.
D.I will regret why I picked it up in the first place.
E.I had lots of them on my shelves, floors and desks.
F.The ocean influences life in California in many ways.
G.Ocean lovers from all walks of life should come together to protect it.

A
The world's oceans are some of the most interesting and breathtaking places on the entire planet. A lot of these oceans have witnessed a variety of disappearances and other mysteries, most of which cannot and have not been explained by modern science. Here are some interesting unsolved sea mysteries of the world.
USS Scorpion
In February 1969, the USS Scorpion, an American submarine, departed from Norfolk, Virginia, on its way towards the Mediterranean. The crew had almost a decade of experience, and yet the sub disappeared and broke into pieces on the seafloor. There were 99 men aboard the sub, all of whom lost their lives.
Baltic Sea Sub
In the later half of 2014,a mysterious vessel was spotted by Swedish citizens, many of whom described it as a Russian submarine, in the Baltic Sea. The military spent much time in investigating, but found no sign of the mysterious sub. The search was named “the hunt for Reds in October.”
Bermeja Island
During the 1970s,Bermeja Island served as a bit of a marker for Mexico and its economic zone. Around 20 years later, the island disappeared without any sign. Along with the island, numerous important documents about major oil reserves also went missing.
Gulf of Mexico Shipwreck
In 2001, ExxonMobil was laying the pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico when it ran into a shipwreck around 2,600 feet under the surface. Upon exploring the shipwreck, archaeologists believed it to be a terrible spell(咒语), as something would constantly go wrong when they went down to explore.
SS Edmund Fitzgerald
Lake Superior is so large that it behaves like an inland ocean, including terrific storms. In November 1975, one such storm struck the vessel SS Edmund Fitzgerald, which was headed to Detroit. The Fitzgerald disappeared after communications were lost. A week later, a sonar(声呐) ship found the vessel 500 feet under the water. No body was found, though.
1.Why does the author think of USS Scorpion as a mystery
A.Because 99 men died aboard the sub.
B.Because it lost its way towards the Mediterranean.
C.Because the sub still sank even with the experienced crew.
D.Because there is no information of the unknown sub.
2.What do Baltic Sea Sub and Gulf of Mexico Shipwreck have in common
A.A bad spell is put on both.
B.Both the names of the vessels are unknown.
C.Both are found on the beaches.
D.Both are said to be Russian vessels.
3.Which mystery is different from the others
A.SS Edmund Fitzgerald.
B.Bermeja Island.
C.Gulf of Mexico Shipwreck.
D.USS Scorpion.
B
I don't think I can recall a time when I wasn't aware of the beauty of the ocean. Growing up in Australia, I had the good fortune to have the sea at my side. The first time I went to Half Moon Bay, I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.
For my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef. There were fish in different colors,caves and layers of coral. They made such an impression on me. When I learned that only 1 percent of Australia's Coral Sea was protected,I was shocked. Australian marine life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than those of any other country on earth. But sadly, only 45% of the world's reefs are considered healthy.
This statistic is depressing, so it's important for us to do everything to protect them. The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete ecosystem has led me to take action. I've become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity,which aims to create the largest marine park in the world. It would serve as a place where the ocean's species will all have a safe place forever.
Together,Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement. Angus also shared many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy,who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean, and trying to find the secrets of underwater marine species.
4.What can be learned about the author from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1
A.He seldom went surfing at the sea.
B.He forgot his experiences about the ocean.
C.He never went back to his hometown.
D.He had a wonderful impression of Half Moon Bay.
5.What can we learn about Australian marine life according to the second paragraph
A.It is escaping from the Coral Sea gradually.
B.It depends on reefs for living greatly.
C.It may be faced with danger.
D.It is protected better than that in other oceans.
6.What is the Protect Our Coral Sea activity intended to do
A.It is intended to contribute to a complete ecosystem.
B.It is intended to prevent more marine species from being endangered.
C.It is intended to set up a large nature reserve for reefs.
D.It is intended to raise more teenagers' environmental awareness.
7.Why did Angus and the author create a little video
A.To urge more people to take action to protect the marine species.
B.To inspire more people to explore the secret of the ocean.
C.To share their childhood experiences about the ocean.
D.To bring back pleasant memories of marine species.

All living things in the ocean are endangered by humans polluting the water. 1 . One way is the dumping(倾倒) of certain waste materials, such as garbage and used water, into the ocean. The harmful bacteria that feed on the garbage use up much of the oxygen in the surrounding water, so other creatures in the area often don't get enough.
Other substances(物质), such as radioactive waste materials, can also cause pollution. 2 . But after years of being exposed to the ocean water, the containers may begin to leak(漏).
3 . Oil is spilled into the ocean when oil ships sink or when oil wells in the ocean cannot be capped. The oil covers the gills(腮) of fish and prevents them from breathing. Diving birds get the oil on their wings and are unable to fly. When they clean themselves, they are often poisoned by the oil.
Rivers also can contribute to the pollution of oceans. 4 . Fertilizers used on the farmlands may be carried to the ocean, where they cause a great increase in the amount of certain plants. Too many of some plants can actually be poisonous to fish.
Worse yet are the pesticides(杀虫剂) carried to the ocean. These chemicals slowly build up in fish and other small animals. 5 .The build-up of these chemicals in the animals can make them ill or cause their babies to be born dead or sick.
A.Fish and turtles suffer the most
B.Pollution occurs in several ways
C.Oil is another major source of concern
D.Many rivers receive the runoff water from farmlands
E.Farmers use these artificial fertilizers to increase crop harvest
F.These substances are often placed in the water in safely sealed containers
G.These animals then pass the pesticides on to the larger animals that feed on them

It's already challenging enough for environmentalists to keep beaches clear of washed-up trash and plastic debris(残骸), but the most difficult problem lies in cleaning up all of the millions of tiny microplastics that are impossible to pick up and separate from the sand.
Fortunately, a group of engineering students succeeded in developing a massive new vacuum(真空) cleaner that can collect microplastics without removing any of the sand from the beach. The 12 Canadian students from the University of Sherbrooke in Quebec built their Hoola One plastic vacuum cleaner as a class project.
“We did some research and we realized there was no machine around the world to do this kind of job,” Hoola One co-founder Sam Duval told Hawaii Public Radio. “So we told each other,‘We will invent it,’ and we did it.”
As a means of testing their machine's efficiency, they recently used it on the sands of Hawaii's Kamilo Beach, which is also notorious for being one of the dirtiest beaches in the world. Though their first prototype(原型)experienced a number of technical issues, the students managed to fix the problems and tidy up the beach.
Using a handheld tube, the machine sucks(吸入)up plastic and sand and dumps them all into a massive water tank. Since rocks and sand are heavier than plastic, they sink to the bottom of the tank so they can be dumped back onto the beach. The plastic, on the other hand, floats to the top of the tank.
According to Hawaii Public Radio, the team left the Hoola One vacuum on the island as a donation to the state department. They are now researching the ecological effects of the vacuum on the beach while they are searching for funding and sponsorships(赞助款)to produce more Hoola One vacuums.
1.What is the hardest problem of keeping the beach clean
A.Picking up plastic debris.
B.Removing trash on the sea.
C.Separating plastics from the sand.
D.Clearing up all the microplastics.
2.What do we know about the Hoola One plastic vacuum cleaner
A.It can collect plastics without removing sand from the beach.
B.It has been used widely on the beaches around the world.
C.The students tested its efficiency on Hawaii's Kamilo Beach.
D.The students gave up the first prototype due to several failures.
3.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A.The working procedure of the vacuum cleaner.
B.The invention process of the vacuum cleaner.
C.The ecological impacts of the vacuum cleaner.
D.The special materials of the vacuum cleaner.
4.What words can best describe the 12 Canadian students
A.Generous and stubborn.
B.Confident and persistent.
C.Devoted and wealthy.
D.Admirable and humorous.

Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand(货摊) for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles ” “Oh, yes, but I don't have money on me,” she replied.
“That's nothing. I'll treat you today,” said the man. “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, the smell so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it ” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her ” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock;she remembered her mother's familiar face and weathered (饱经风霜的)hands. “Why didn't I think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted(感激的). Why haven't I thanked my mum for what she has done for me ” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.

Paragraph 1:
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. Tired and sad, she sat down in front of the house. “Where might my mother be ” she wondered. “Is she really so angry with me that she doesn't want to show any care for me ” Again, the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind. She remembered her rudeness to her mother, and she just realized that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her. Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Paragraph 2:
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. She raised her head to see the familiar face and the worried eyes. “Here you come! I've been looking for you,” came the tired voice. Jenny couldn't help but throw herself into her mother's arms. “I'm sorry and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed the sincere apology and the great gratitude. Then she felt the hug tightened.
