Exploring China is not easy even for experienced travelers, but the history instructor Jessica Gerard from Ozarks Technical Community College (OTC) knows from experience the trip is worth it. Since 2008, she’s led five groups of students across China to study its culture and history.
Gerard often reminds interested students that the trip is not a vacation—it’s an academic (学术的) course. “Anyone interested in the trip must take an online course about the history of China before they can go,” she said. “And, most importantly, students continue to learn while in China. They’re expected to listen to guides, keep a diary and write about their experiences afterward.”
OTC student Ross Weis believed his experiences in China easily transcended (超越) anything he could have learned in the classroom. In fact, it was his long-held interest in China that led him to ask about the trip after seeing a poster in the OTC library. “I’ve always been drawn to China and its rich culture and history,” Weis said. “My dad studied history in college, and I suppose that has some influence on me.”
Of all the cities and historical sites Weis visited, he said nothing could top his experience at the Great Wall. “I’d read about the Great Wall and seen it on TV, but it is so different to go there and actually experience it,” he said. “It wasn’t as worn as I had expected it to be. That was pretty cool.”
Every OTC group Gerard has taken to China has been led by her trusty tourist agent, Jim Lieu. Gerard plans her trips directly through Lieu, who keeps travel costs down for students. “Lieu and I have an excellent relationship with one another. He always knows what I want for my students, and I know what he can do,” said Gerard. “He sincerely believes that in order to build stronger communities and a better world, people around the world should get to know each other through travel.”
24. Why did Gerard organize travel to China for her students
A. To help students relax after exams. B. To get students interested in travel.
C. To teach history in a productive way. D. To give an interesting life experience.
25. What should the students do before their trip to China
A. Take a course online. B. Consult a native guide.
C. Show their anxiety. D. Share their preparation.
26. What made Ross Weis take the trip to China
A. His passion for travel. B. His interest in China.
C. His teacher’s invitation. D. His father’s inspiration.
27. Which of the following best describes Jim Lieu
A. Brave. B. Patient. C. Helpful. D. Humorous.
C
Diving in the ocean, marine biologist Erika Woolsey has seen how coral reefs are being damaged by climate change. It has made her decide to find a way to share her experience—including those who can’t easily explore the ocean.
Through her non-profit, The Hydrous, Woolsey is using virtual reality to bring the ocean to everyone. Scientists, filmmakers and divers are taking people on immersive (沉浸式的) virtual dives, attracting attention to reef damage and expecting action to protect our sea. About 25% of marine species depend on coral reefs. However, climate change, pollution and overfishing have done harm to around half the world’s shallow water coral reefs.
Twenty years of underwater exploration has given Woolsey a detailed understanding of the dangerous situations facing reefs. “I’ve seen this first-hand shift. Healthy colourful coral reefs become what look like the moonscape step by step,” Woolsey says.
It is through this experience that The Hydrous team set out to recreate with their award-winning film Immerse. Intended to watch with a VR headset, viewers join Woolsey for a nine-minute guided virtual dive on the coral reefs, immersed in a 360-degree underwater view.
They swim alongside sea turtles and sharks before witnessing the worsening of the reefs. The experience often brings out strong feelings. “As soon as people take off that headset and look me in the eye, they want to tell me a story about their ocean experience,” Woolsey says. “It’s that human connection to our ocean that will solve our ocean problems.”
Woolsey hopes advances in camera technology will allow her team to take more and more people to places in the ocean that are underexplored and places further away from human civilization. They are developing a virtual experience that will put the people in the role of a marine biologist, carrying out biodiversity surveys underwater, and even transporting the viewers to space to monitor global sea surface temperatures.
28. Why did Erika Woolsey set up The Hydrous
A. To collect money for ocean protection. B. To let people know about coral reefs better.
C. To help people enjoy the ocean’s beauty. D. To encourage people to protect the ocean.
29. What does the underlined word “shift” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Material. B. Experience. C. Change. D. Scene.
30. What can people know through the immersive dive
A. The story about the ocean. B. The situation of coral reefs.
C. The connection with sea life. D. The way to protect the ocean.
31. What does Erika Woolsey hope to do in the future
A. To bring more fun during the lockdown. B. To train talents for environment protection.
C. To help people learn more about the ocean. D. To discover more places that need protection
D
Since the 1950s, some 9.2 billion tonnes of plastic have been produced globally, of which only about 10%has ever been recycled. Yet environmentally conscious companies and consumers continue to look to recycling as a way to ease the plastic problem. Manufacturing giants claim to be committed to making more of their products and packaging from recycled materials. However, this confidence masks (掩饰) a complex web of issues around plastic recycling. Recycling rates remain extremely low and critics argue that we should look at alternative ways to tackle plastic pollution.
While many plastics have the potential to be recycled, most are not because the process is costly, complicated and the resulting product of a lower quality than the original. Despite rising demand for recycled plastic, few waste companies turn a profit. Part of this is because virgin plastic--linked to oil prices--is often cheaper than recycled plastic, meaning there is little economic incentive to use it. Worse yet, much of our plastic waste is difficult to recycle. Lightweight food packaging, like a mozzarella packet, contains different plastics, dyes and toxic additives (添加剂). This dirty mix means plastic recycled through mechanical methods-the most common form-can only be melted down and moulded again a couple of times before it becomes too fragile to be reused. And the nature of the process means plastic recycling has a carbon footprint of its own.
Given all of these difficulties, environmental critics say recycling is not the solution-and argue that creating more products from recycled material to attract environmental consciousness merely worsens the problem. “The solution is to use less plastic and to stop misleading the public about the recyclability,” says Enck, president of Beyond Plastics, a US campaign group with a mission to end single-use plastic. “They should stop making false claims about the recyclability of plastics since they know most will either be littered or; burned or landfilled (填埋). Using less plastics means shifting to reusable products and relying more on paper, cardboard, glass and metal--all of which should be made from recycled content.”
32. What is an environmentally conscious customer s attitude towards recycling plastics
A. Suspicious. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Disapproving
33. What does the underlined word “incentive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Motive. B. Issue. C. Crisis. D. Policy.
34. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The recycling process of plastics. B. Pollutants contained in recycled plastics.
C. Reasons why users dislike recycled plastics. D. Contributing factors to low plastic recycling rates.
35. What will the environmental critics be happy to see according to the text
A. Using metal or glass food containers. B. Littering recycled plastics in a landfill.
C. Processing plastics in a mechanical way. D. Launching campaigns to promote recyclability.

Nothing like a big test makes students feel fear and anxiety. Wanting to study is one thing, but it can be difficult to do without the proper guidance. 36 Fortunately, studying is something faced at all levels of school by all students, so you can find help.
Calm down. Don’t panic. Panic will only make your situation worse. You will be focusing on the fear, and not the coming test. 37 If you panic, take deep breaths, and think that you can do this.
Make a study plan. People who make a detailed study plan often have an easier time of their studies. When making a study plan, calculate (计算) the amount of time you have left before the exam date. Is the exam in a month Did the teacher spring the test on you suddenly Is it amid-year exam that has been waiting since the start of the year 38
Take notes and ask questions. If you come across a part you can’t understand, write it down. Ask your teacher either during class or during office hours. And don’t worry—you aren’t stupid if you ask questions. 39 Besides, a question ahead of time could mean a better grade on the exam.
40 Study methods include using colours, pictures and brainstorm or mind map pages. Some people learn things better if they’re in certain colours while other people may remember pictures more easily. Use the method that works for you.
A. Find out your study methods.
B. Make use of different resources.
C. It’s important to build good study skills.
D. Questions mean that you’re actively learning.
E. Many times, fear can even prevent you doing well.
F. The fear of asking questions grows if you are anxious.
G. Depending on the time, make your study plan long or short.

It was dark and freezing cold outside though it was four o’clock in the afternoon. The wind kept blowing. At that time, the bell rang loudly, and everybody packed their schoolbags and got ready to go home. The teacher dismissed (解散) the students, and they walked orderly to the school gate.
David was in Class One, Grade Seven. His mother would come and pick him up from school but today she was absent. David wondered what had happened, but he was not worried at all. It usually took only ten minutes for his mother to get to school by riding an electric bike. David saw his best companion, Tommy, who was his deskmate. Tommy was waiting patiently for his mother as well. They began to talk freely and happily. David congratulated Tommy on his excellent performance in the last math exam. At the same time, Tommy thanked David, without whose help he couldn’t have made such rapid progress. Five minutes later, Tommy’s. mother picked up Tommy and they said goodbye to each other.
David had to put up with his moments of solitude (独处). He had no choice but to wait until his mother came into his sight. However, half an hour passed, and there was no sign that his mother would come. David was determined to walk home.
On his way home, David could hardly see any passers-by. The trees shook with the wind and the leaves fell from them without making any noise. David was lost in thinking what was wrong with his mother. Some terrible thoughts jumped out of his mind. “Maybe an accident happened to her. Maybe she got hurt by some robbers. Maybe she was seriously ill.” Little David burst into tears and quickened his step. He did not dare to think over the results. What he could do was pray for the safety of his mother and wish everything was all right.
Time slipped away like an arrow. In the short distance, it was his beautiful house with a garden. “This must, be the worst experience in my life,” David thought to himself and felt scared.

Paragraph I
David stood in front of the door and opened it hurriedly. He turned on the lights without hesitation. Everything was in order. . The floor was clean. The sofa was neat. It seemed nothing special. David pushed all the doors and was eager to look for his mother. Still, he couldn’t find her anywhere. There was no doubt that his mother was not at home right now. It was hard for him to control his nervous emotion. He ran to the telephone and began to make a phone call to his mother.
Paragraph 2
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and came a familiar voice. It was his mother. He hurried to the door and opened it excitedly with a tremendous sense of relief. His mother wore a big smile, saying, “I just want you to be independent. And I followed you along the way. You made it. I am proud of you.” David hugged his mother tightly, making a promise that he would never worry her and he would become brave and spare no effort to maintain independence.

②由第二段首句内容“突然，传来了敲门声，一个熟悉的声音传来。”可知，第二段可描写妈妈回来了，并解释了没有接David的原因。
2.续写线索：到家后发现妈妈不在——感到紧张——妈妈回家——妈妈解释原因并表扬David——David承诺会继续独立
