On March 1, Dr. Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel called Jules’s Undersea Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo.
The farther you go below the ocean’s surface, the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.
While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri still stayed busy daily according to his schedule. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a little time with him.
On June 9, De. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. Many friends, family and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay. Actually, Dr. Dturi went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1.3 centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better, his health greatly improved in a couple of ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project. In November, Dr. Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the project.
Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. “Who knows ” he said. “Maybe one day, one of them will come back and break the record we just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries.”
4．What is Jules’s Undersea Lodge special for
A. Its location. B. Its reputation. C. Its convenience. D. Its luxuriousness.
5．Why did Dr. Dituri decide to stay long in the hotel
A. To treat his brain injuries. B. To live longer and healthier.
C. To deal with medical problems. D. To test one of his academic ideas.
6．Which statement best describes Dr. Dituri’s undersea life
A. He was busy with medical experiments.
B. He kept a daily routine almost as usual.
C. He led a dull life separated from other people.
D. He set a world record of living 73 days underwater.

C. Meet at the conference in Scotland. D. Study the information of the project.
Each year, more than 27 million American and Canadian kids get to school by bus. Most of those buses run on diesel（柴油）fuel, which give out pollution that riders can take in. Pollution levels can be several times higher inside a diesel school bus than outside it. Why Pollution can leak in from the floor or blow in through windows.
An American government program started in 2012 offered schools money spent on cleaner school buses, but not all schools could get it. Five years later, emissions from buses in the winning districts fell. And a year after getting new buses, student attendance had improved in those districts. For an average district of 10,000 students, about six more students attended school each day in the winning districts, compared to the losing districts. Winning schools with higher rates of bus-riding kids had an average of 14 more students in class each day. And winning districts that replaced the oldest school buses They had an average of 45 more students at school each day.
Those numbers may sound small, but they add up. And school attendance matters for students’ achievements. Almost 3 million American kids ride school buses more than 20 years old. If American school districts had replaced all of those older buses, there would have been 1.3 million fewer student absences each year.
There might be other reasons for better attendance. For example, maybe kids preferred new buses. However, the most likely reason for fewer student absences was better health. A study done on adults showed that a brief exposure to diesel emissions reduced “network connectivity” in the brain. In other studies, such network-connectivity changes have been linked to worsened memory and mental tasks. A Washington State program upgraded pollution controls in old diesel buses. Afterward, fewer kids were hospitalized in those districts than in the schools without bus upgrades.
Almost all American school districts can apply for the program. But schools in low-income, tribal and rural areas will get priority. Kids in these areas tend to face the most health risks from older buses.
8．What can we infer about diesel school buses from the first paragraph
A. They operate cost-effectively.
B. They have a short service life.
C. They accommodate few passengers.
D. They do much harm to school children.
9．Why is the increase in school attendance small but important
A. It is a winning condition. B. It is a measuring standard.
C. It is a long accumulation. D. It is a student’s achievement.
10．How can the bus replacement bring better student attendance
A. By reducing the network connectivity.
B. By bettering the health state of students.
C. By meeting students’ demand for school drivers.
D. By improving students’ satisfaction with schools.
11．What does the author say about the program in the last paragraph
A. It tends to fail in some areas.
B. It is at risk of being interrupted.
C. It will start from underdeveloped areas.
D. It has been carried out in all American schools.
For some climate challenges, there are relatively straightforward fixes. For example, renewable energy sources can already replace much of the energy needed to power buildings, cars and more.
There’s no substitute for food, but shifting what we eat is possible. If everyone on the planet ate vegetables, greenhouse gas emissions from the food system could be cut by more than half; a planet of vegetarians would reduce food emissions by two thirds. If we stopped consuming conventional food and relied on a lab-grown nutritional food instead of soil or water-produced food, we could prevent about 1 degree centigrade of future warming, according to a recent paper that considered the unique thought experiment.
“What this work says is: Hey, look, we can still get pretty big wins even if we’re not making these really big changes in dietary composition,” says Clark. “I think that’s really powerful, because a lot of people just don’t want to make those really big dietary changes, for many reasons. While vegetarian diets are becoming more common in America and some European countries, it’s absolutely ridiculous to assume that everyone will be eating a vegetarian diet 30 years from now,” he says.
Food choices are personal, deeply connected to cultural, religious, emotional, economic concerns and so much more. “Rather than dictate how to do it, it’s much better to try to give choices,” says Naglaa, a food, nutrition and environment researcher at Tufts University. This approach aims to inform people so that they can make choices that correspond with their needs and values instead of waiting for the authority’s rules and orders. As a whole, those choices can benefit both human health and the planet. For that to happen, it is necessary to work alongside large-scale efforts to reshape industrial food production.
“But what people choose to eat daily is far from insignificant,” says Clark. “We don’t all have to become vegetarians overnight. Small changes can make a big difference.”
12．How does the author show the effects of dietary changes in paragraph 2
A. By analyzing the reasons. B. By using a quotation.
C. By answering questions. D. By listing data.
13．What is Clark’s attitude towards small dietary changes
A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical. C. Favorable. D. Negative.
14．What does the underlined word “dictate” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Command. B. Persuade. C. Perceive. D. Describe.
15．What is the best title for the text
A. How small changes to our diets can benefit the planet
B. Small changes in life choices can make a big difference
C. Why renewable energy sources can reduce gas emissions
D. Lab-grown nutritional food could prevent future warming
二、七选五
16．Self-confidence is about trusting your judgement and your ability to do something well. It is also about being willing to consider the possibility that you are wrong and change your mind.

For an average district of 10,000 students, about six more students attended school each day in the winning districts, compared to the losing districts. Winning schools with higher rates of bus-riding kids had an average of 14 more students in class each day. And winning districts that replaced the oldest school buses They had an average of 45 more students at school each day.
Those numbers may sound small, but they add up. And school attendance matters for students’ achievements. Almost 3 million American kids ride school buses more than 20 years old. If American school districts had replaced all of those older buses, there would have been 1.3 million fewer student absences each year.
There might be other reasons for better attendance. For example, maybe kids preferred new buses. However, the most likely reason for fewer student absences was better health. A study done on adults showed that a brief exposure to diesel emissions reduced “network connectivity” in the brain. In other studies, such network-connectivity changes have been linked to worsened memory and mental tasks. A Washington State program upgraded pollution controls in old diesel buses. Afterward, fewer kids were hospitalized in those districts than in the schools without bus upgrades.
Almost all American school districts can apply for the program. But schools in low-income, tribal and rural areas will get priority. Kids in these areas tend to face the most health risks from older buses.
8．What can we infer about diesel school buses from the first paragraph
A. They operate cost-effectively.
B. They have a short service life.
C. They accommodate few passengers.
D. They do much harm to school children.
9．Why is the increase in school attendance small but important
A. It is a winning condition. B. It is a measuring standard.
C. It is a long accumulation. D. It is a student’s achievement.
10．How can the bus replacement bring better student attendance
A. By reducing the network connectivity.
B. By bettering the health state of students.
C. By meeting students’ demand for school drivers.
D. By improving students’ satisfaction with schools.
11．What does the author say about the program in the last paragraph
A. It tends to fail in some areas.
B. It is at risk of being interrupted.
C. It will start from underdeveloped areas.
D. It has been carried out in all American schools.
For some climate challenges, there are relatively straightforward fixes. For example, renewable energy sources can already replace much of the energy needed to power buildings, cars and more.
There’s no substitute for food, but shifting what we eat is possible. If everyone on the planet ate vegetables, greenhouse gas emissions from the food system could be cut by more than half; a planet of vegetarians would reduce food emissions by two thirds. If we stopped consuming conventional food and relied on a lab-grown nutritional food instead of soil or water-produced food, we could prevent about 1 degree centigrade of future warming, according to a recent paper that considered the unique thought experiment.
“What this work says is: Hey, look, we can still get pretty big wins even if we’re not making these really big changes in dietary composition,” says Clark. “I think that’s really powerful, because a lot of people just don’t want to make those really big dietary changes, for many reasons. While vegetarian diets are becoming more common in America and some European countries, it’s absolutely ridiculous to assume that everyone will be eating a vegetarian diet 30 years from now,” he says.
Food choices are personal, deeply connected to cultural, religious, emotional, economic concerns and so much more. “Rather than dictate how to do it, it’s much better to try to give choices,” says Naglaa, a food, nutrition and environment researcher at Tufts University. This approach aims to inform people so that they can make choices that correspond with their needs and values instead of waiting for the authority’s rules and orders. As a whole, those choices can benefit both human health and the planet. For that to happen, it is necessary to work alongside large-scale efforts to reshape industrial food production.
“But what people choose to eat daily is far from insignificant,” says Clark. “We don’t all have to become vegetarians overnight. Small changes can make a big difference.”
12．How does the author show the effects of dietary changes in paragraph 2
A. By analyzing the reasons. B. By using a quotation.
C. By answering questions. D. By listing data.
13．What is Clark’s attitude towards small dietary changes
A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical. C. Favorable. D. Negative.
14．What does the underlined word “dictate” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Command. B. Persuade. C. Perceive. D. Describe.
15．What is the best title for the text
A. How small changes to our diets can benefit the planet
B. Small changes in life choices can make a big difference
C. Why renewable energy sources can reduce gas emissions
D. Lab-grown nutritional food could prevent future warming
二、七选五
16．Self-confidence is about trusting your judgement and your ability to do something well. It is also about being willing to consider the possibility that you are wrong and change your mind.

39．答案：
The Most Impressive Chinese Virtue
As we know, China has many fine virtues. One that has impressed me most is filial piety, which is defined as “children’s respect and care for their parents”. I vividly remember the touching story of my father, who took good care of my sick grandmother. Despite numerous challenges, my father worked tirelessly to provide the best medical treatment for my grandmother. Thanks to his selflessness and dedication, my grandmother finally recovered, which moved the entire neighborhood.
This virtue has influenced me greatly. It serves as a constant reminder to treasure our relationships with loved ones and appreciate the sacrifices they have made for us. I’ve realized the importance of loving our elders. Besides filial piety, I decide to inherit other Chinese virtues.
