“A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day/ The mourner’s heart is going to break on his way”, it is from a poem about Tomb Sweeping Day, also known as the Qingming Festival. It falls on April 5th this year. It's the traditional Chinese festival to remember the dead. Chinese people visit the tombs (墓) of their parents,
grandparents and ancestors (祖先). They will sweep the tombs and clean away the grass around them. Then they burn paper money and put flowers and fruit in front of the tombs. They hope the dead can enjoy them and bring the family good luck.
However, not only Chinese remember the dead. People in other countries also have festivals for the dead.
In Japan, O-Bon Festival (盂兰盆节) is one of the most important festivals. It is held from August 13 to 16. It is also a holiday that serves as a family reunion.

In Russia, people remember their ancestors on the Day of Rejoicing (欣喜). It's usually in late April or early
May. The name of this festival means birth and happiness. Russians believe that people shouldn’t feel sad for the dead because death means birth in another world.

Located in the east of Shenzhen, Dapeng New Area was once a coral paradise. However, coral coverage has dropped dramatically over the past 30 years.
In November 2013, a group of divers launched a charity event called “Dive for Love” in Dapeng New Area. Sharing a common interest, these like-minded people would dive into the sea to plant corals and share their love for ocean life. I am one of them. For years, I have not only been engaged in coral reef conservative, but also give regular lectures at primary and secondary schools to popularize ocean knowledge and teach students how to protect the ocean. We believe these lectures can help spread the love for ocean life.
In addition to planting coral and breeding broken coral branches, I dive with my friends to take rubbish out of the sea every month. Fishing nets are the most troublesome. I once got entangled in a fishing net while bringing it up, and it almost killed me.
We usually clean the sea once a month, and the coral nursery is cleaned every 10 days. Apart from the undersea rubbish, there is also rubbish on the beaches. We can gather a lot of rubbish, such as straws, bottles, nappies, disposable lunch boxes and so on. It’s all rubbish from our daily life. I wonder how they bear to litter on such beautiful beaches. We don’t ask that everyone takes away other people’s rubbish, but we hope they will take away their own rubbish.
As a mother myself, I often take my child to the seaside and tell him the story of the “submarine forest”. I can see that my child has a special passion for nature from an early age, so I hope to give him a beautiful and clean ocean environment, so that he can enjoy the beauty of nature. I feel sad when I consider whether my son will ever see these beautiful scenes when he grows up, which is another factor that motivates me to protect the ocean environment.
36.The author did the following things under the sea EXCEPT .
A. taking rubbish out of the sea B. planting corals with other divers
C. popularizing ocean knowledge D. breeding broken coral branches
37.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to .
A. getting entangled in a fishing net B. breading a broken coral branch
C. gathering undersea rubbish D. diving deep with her friends
38.Which of the following can best describe the author
A. A super diver. B. An ocean lover.
C. A coral grower. D. A beautiful mother.
39.How many times do the group of divers clean the sea in a year
A. 10 B. 12 C. 30 D. 36
40.What can we infer from the passage
A. Coral coverage has increased a little over these years.
B. “Dive for Love” is a charity event to give regular lectures.
C. Sometimes taking rubbish out of the sea is very dangerous.
D. The author protects the ocean environment only for her child.

“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said.
National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity (机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations (期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.
The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.
★ Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.
★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.
★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.
★ Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations.
★ Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.
★ Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.
Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “…little things can change a person’s life.”

Artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) is growing rapidly. We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI. AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.
AI’s recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.
According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some industries, AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling (装配) cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self-driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the driver’s jobs in the future.
On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programmers for AI systems (系统) and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced (取代) by AI. These includes jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.
AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear.

Located in the east of Shenzhen, Dapeng New Area was once a coral paradise. However, coral coverage has dropped dramatically over the past 30 years.
In November 2013, a group of divers launched a charity event called “Dive for Love” in Dapeng New Area. Sharing a common interest, these like-minded people would dive into the sea to plant corals and share their love for ocean life. I am one of them. For years, I have not only been engaged in coral reef conservative, but also give regular lectures at primary and secondary schools to popularize ocean knowledge and teach students how to protect the ocean. We believe these lectures can help spread the love for ocean life.
In addition to planting coral and breeding broken coral branches, I dive with my friends to take rubbish out of the sea every month. Fishing nets are the most troublesome. I once got entangled in a fishing net while bringing it up, and it almost killed me.
We usually clean the sea once a month, and the coral nursery is cleaned every 10 days. Apart from the undersea rubbish, there is also rubbish on the beaches. We can gather a lot of rubbish, such as straws, bottles, nappies, disposable lunch boxes and so on. It’s all rubbish from our daily life. I wonder how they bear to litter on such beautiful beaches. We don’t ask that everyone takes away other people’s rubbish, but we hope they will take away their own rubbish.
As a mother myself, I often take my child to the seaside and tell him the story of the “submarine forest”. I can see that my child has a special passion for nature from an early age, so I hope to give him a beautiful and clean ocean environment, so that he can enjoy the beauty of nature. I feel sad when I consider whether my son will ever see these beautiful scenes when he grows up, which is another factor that motivates me to protect the ocean environment.
36.The author did the following things under the sea EXCEPT .
A. taking rubbish out of the sea B. planting corals with other divers
C. popularizing ocean knowledge D. breeding broken coral branches
37.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to .
A. getting entangled in a fishing net B. breading a broken coral branch
C. gathering undersea rubbish D. diving deep with her friends
38.Which of the following can best describe the author
A. A super diver. B. An ocean lover.
C. A coral grower. D. A beautiful mother.
39.How many times do the group of divers clean the sea in a year
A. 10 B. 12 C. 30 D. 36
40.What can we infer from the passage
A. Coral coverage has increased a little over these years.
B. “Dive for Love” is a charity event to give regular lectures.
C. Sometimes taking rubbish out of the sea is very dangerous.
D. The author protects the ocean environment only for her child.

38.推理判断题。通过阅读短文，本文主要讲述了作者保护大海的行动，并呼吁大家也要从自身做起，使大家都能看到美丽干净的大海，所以作者很喜爱大海，故选B。
39.细节理解题。根据文中We usually clean the sea once a month可知我们一个月清理一次大海，故一年清理12次，故选B。
40.推理判断题。根据However, coral coverage has dropped dramatically over the past 30 years.可知最近一些年珊瑚的数量在下降，故A错误；根据第二段的描述，Dive for Love这个活动不仅仅定期讲课，而且还种植珊瑚，从事对珊瑚的保护工作，所以B选项不全面；根据I once got entangled in a fishing net while bringing it up, and it almost killed me.作者的一次经历，差点被缠在一起的渔网杀死，故可以推测在海中处理垃圾很危险，故C正确；根据I once got entangled in a fishing net while bringing it up, and it almost killed me.可知为了孩子保护海洋知识是作者的其中一个目的，而不是唯一目的，故D 错误。故选C。

“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said.
National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity (机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations (期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.
The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.
★ Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.
★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.
★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.
★ Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations.
★ Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.
★ Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.
Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “…little things can change a person’s life.”

Artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) is growing rapidly. We are living in a world that depends more and more on AI. AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.
AI’s recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.
According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some industries, AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling (装配) cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self-driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the driver’s jobs in the future.
On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programmers for AI systems (系统) and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced (取代) by AI. These includes jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.
AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear.
