The Nautilus expedition to the Cayman Islands
Hi! I’m Talita and this is my blog! Enjoy!
Day 1: August 15th
Wow! I can’t believe I’m actually here on Nautilus. I’m one of five very lucky students chosen to go on Nautilus’s four-day expedition (探险) to the Cayman Islands. We had a talk from the expedition leader Dr. Katy Croff Bell, about where we’re going and what we’ll be doing. Oh, and all the safety rules as well, of course!
Day 2: August 16th
What an amazing day! In the morning, we met Dr. Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreck (残骸) of the Titanic! After lunch, we had a tour around Nautilus. We looked at the labs, and we went up to the bridge — that’s where the captain of the ship works. I even got a chance to guide the ship! Later we learned about Hercules. This robot is sent deep into the sea to look for shipwrecks, to study the plants and animals, and to look at the rocks in an area.
Day 3: August 17th
This morning we appeared on the Nautilus Live website and talked to students around the world about our expedition. It was amazing — I feel like a real famous person now! The afternoon was NOT cool, however. There was a big storm, and we all felt very seasick!
Day 4: August 18th
This morning was beautiful, and the sea was peaceful. Perfect for a dive. Unfortunately, it was Hercules, not us, who got to go diving. In the afternoon, we arrived at Grand Cayman. Although I’m sad to leave the Nautilus team (especially Hercules), I’m excited to explore the islands and the waters!

At eleven, I decided to learn to swim. There was a pool at the YMCA offering exactly the opportunity. My mother always warned against it, and kept fresh in my mind the details of each drowning in the river. But the YMCA pool was safe.
I had a childhood fear of water. This started when I was three years old and my father took me to the beach. The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.
The pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on one side of the pool to wait for others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, “Hi, how’d you like to in the water ” With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end. I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my wits — when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump to come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly.
When I came to consciousness, I found myself lying on the bed in the hospital.
I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could. This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by. It deprived (剥夺) me of the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished, but I was not. Sometimes the terror would return.
This went on until July. I swam across the Lake Wentworth. Only once did the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said, “Well, Mr. Terror, what do you think you can do to me ”
I had overcome my fear of water.
4. The author’s original fear of water was caused by ______.
A. his poor skill in swimming B. his mother’s warning of drowning
C. an outing to the beach with his father D. an unpleasant memory of the pool
5. Why was the author not scared to death when he was thrown into the water
A. He knew how to swim in the pool. B. He felt that the YMCA pool was safe.
C. He was waiting for others to save him. D. He came up with an idea to go upwards.
6. By expressing “but I was not” in Paragraph 5, the author probably means ______.
A. he was still a poor swimmer
B he had not overcome the fear yet
C. he was not afraid of drowning any more
D. he was not satisfied with the swimming training
7. What does the author’s experience with swimming teach us about overcoming fear
A. It is important to face our fears head-on.
B. It is better to avoid situations that cause fear.
C. It is impossible to overcome deep-seated fears.
D. It is best to rely on others to help us overcome fear.
C
Hip hop is a subculture and an art movement that emerged (出现) from the Bronx in New York City during the early 1970s. Its development reflected the negative effects of post-industrial decline political discourse, and a rapidly changing economy.
Looking back to New York City during this era, we see an economic collapse. The city’s economy was falling apart due to the decline of the manufacturing industry. Much of the middle class moved to the suburbs to escape the social and economic challenges.
Consequently, businesses closed their doors, causing many economic opportunities and sources of entertainment to disappear. As a result, urban youth turned to the streets for recreation and self-expression. The abandoned buildings and parking lots set the stage for block parties. These block parties laid the groundwork for early hip hop culture. DJs and MCs brought the music by setting up mobile “Sound Systems” introduced by Jamaican culture. Sheets of cardboard became dance floors for break-dancers, and brick walls transformed into canvases for graffiti. The emerging hip hop culture also became an outlet to deal with despair, abandonment and even violence.
Several people were influential in creating hip hop. Among the most famous ones is DJ Kool Herc, the “founding father of hip hop.” The Jamaican American made history in 1973 when he and his sister hosted the “Back to School” party in their apartment building. This historical party is recognized for launching the hip hop movement. Herc was also famous for creating a DJ technique called “break beat”-a mixing practice he adapted from Jamaican music. He noticed that people often waited for drum breaks of a record to dance. This took place when every instrument stopped playing except for the drums. Then the DJ would use two turntables (唱机转盘) to switch back and forth between two copies of the same record. The break section was also the most anticipated part of a song where people danced the most.
The DJ kept growing in popularity throughout the 1970s. He moved on to larger parks, played in clubs and inspired other DJs who helped this type of dance music to develop.
8. Why did hip hop culture emerge in the Bronx during the early 1970s
A. Because of the economic downturn and social circumstances.
B. Because of the post-industrial economy and cultural diversity.
C. Because of the popularity of Jamaican music and dance culture.
D. Because of young people’ need for new forms of entertainment.
9. What was the foundation for hip hop culture in the beginning
A. Economic challenges. B. Jamaican music.
C. Community gatherings. D. Despair and violence.
10. What does the underlined word “outlet” in paragraph 3 probably refer to
A. A place to seek entertainment.
B. A movement for social changes.
C. A campaign for commercial purposes.
D. A channel to release negative emotions.
11. What can be known about DJ Kool Herc
A. “Back to School” was the first party held by him.
B. He helped spread hip-hop culture by giving concerts.
C. He was well-known for the “break beat” dancing skill.
D. He was highly thought of as a pioneer of hip-hop culture.
D
Obviously, much has been written about the wonders of the Internet, which has made our lives more convenient. However, people, particularly many older people around the world have at least one common concern: How to get younger people, addicted to their electronic devices, interested in classic literature through advanced and updated technologies. Take the Monkey King, or Sun Wukong, as an example. The main character in the 16th-century classic novel, Journey to the West, is a symbol of bravery and adventure that impressed millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions.
Havoc in Heaven, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the beauty of the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West. This film, expected to create a new way to promote Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients (成分) of Peking Opera. It covers all the basic techniques, and makeup for dozens of facial representations of different figures’ characteristics.
It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its own characteristic. One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with keeping the basic performance skills in Peking Opera.
Some background images on stage remain, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the prerecorded music. “If we change traditions to satisfy people’s taste and preference for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art,” Cheng said.
On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to record a stage puter technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes.
Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s, but they gave way to more various entertainment. In recent years, there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films. However, the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances.
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To blame young people addicted to electronic devices.
B. To introduce a new Peking Opera film.
C. To express older people’s worry about the young generation’s life.
D. To inspire readers’ interest in traditional Chinese performance art.
13. What did Director Cheng do while producing the film
A. He made changes to basic performance skills.
B. He made use of symbols and motions equally.
C. He combined tradition and innovation together.
D. He brought onto the stage details of real life.
14. What innovation did Cheng’s team make
A. They opposed a rigid and inflexible recording of the performance.
B. They enriched visual effects with modern technology.
C. They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera.
D. They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting.
15 What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films.
B. Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination.
C. There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera.
D. The original charm of Peking Opera cannot be given up for films.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在海难被巨浪打翻和在泳池被大男孩扔进深水区的惊险经历导致他怕水，后来他决定聘请教练学习游泳并最终克服对水的恐惧。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“I had a childhood fear of water. This started when I was three years old and my father took me to the beach. The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.(我小时候就怕水。这始于我三岁的时候，我父亲带我去海滩。巨浪把我打倒，把我卷了过去)”可知，作者最初对水的恐惧源于和父亲去海滩游玩，被巨浪打翻的经历。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But I was not frightened out of my wits — when my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump to come out of the surface.(但我并没有被吓得魂飞神离——当我的脚触到底部时，我就会猛地一跳，跳出水面)”可知，作者之所以不是太害怕是因为他可以用脚触到泳池底部后往上跳，找到了向上露出水面的方法。故选D项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。划线部分上文“Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instructor was finished(最后，我决定找个教练。他一点一点地培养了一个游泳者。几个月后，教练的工作完成了)”讲作者学会了游泳，教练完成了工作。但根据下文“but I was not. Sometimes the terror would return.(但我还没有。有时恐惧又会回来)”可知，上下文有转折关系，说明虽然教练完成了工作，但作者还没有，他仍然没有克服对水的恐惧。“but I was not”与“he had not overcome the fear yet”同义。故选B项。

Hip hop is a subculture and an art movement that emerged (出现) from the Bronx in New York City during the early 1970s. Its development reflected the negative effects of post-industrial decline, political discourse, and a rapidly changing economy.
Looking back to New York City during this era, we see an economic collapse. The city’s economy was falling apart due to the decline of the manufacturing industry. Much of the middle class moved to the suburbs to escape the social and economic challenges.
Consequently, businesses closed their doors, causing many economic opportunities and sources of entertainment to disappear. As a result, urban youth turned to the streets for recreation and self-expression. The abandoned buildings and parking lots set the stage for block parties. These block parties laid the groundwork for early hip hop culture. DJs and MCs brought the music by setting up mobile “Sound Systems” introduced by Jamaican culture. Sheets of cardboard became dance floors for break-dancers, and brick walls transformed into canvases for graffiti. The emerging hip hop culture also became an outlet to deal with despair, abandonment and even violence.
Several people were influential in creating hip hop. Among the most famous ones is DJ Kool Herc, the “founding father of hip hop.” The Jamaican American made history in 1973 when he and his sister hosted the “Back to School” party in their apartment building. This historical party is recognized for launching the hip hop movement. Herc was also famous for creating a DJ technique called “break beat”-a mixing practice he adapted from Jamaican music. He noticed that people often waited for drum breaks of a record to dance. This took place when every instrument stopped playing except for the drums. Then the DJ would use two turntables (唱机转盘) to switch back and forth between two copies of the same record. The break section was also the most anticipated part of a song where people danced the most.
The DJ kept growing in popularity throughout the 1970s. He moved on to larger parks, played in clubs and inspired other DJs who helped this type of dance music to develop.
8. Why did hip hop culture emerge in the Bronx during the early 1970s
A. Because of the economic downturn and social circumstances.
B. Because of the post-industrial economy and cultural diversity.
C. Because of the popularity of Jamaican music and dance culture.
D. Because of young people’ need for new forms of entertainment.
9. What was the foundation for hip hop culture in the beginning
A. Economic challenges. B. Jamaican music.
C. Community gatherings. D. Despair and violence.
10. What does the underlined word “outlet” in paragraph 3 probably refer to
A. A place to seek entertainment.
B. A movement for social changes.
C. A campaign for commercial purposes.
D. A channel to release negative emotions.
11. What can be known about DJ Kool Herc
A. “Back to School” was the first party held by him.
B. He helped spread hip-hop culture by giving concerts.
C. He was well-known for the “break beat” dancing skill.
D. He was highly thought of as a pioneer of hip-hop culture.

Obviously, much has been written about the wonders of the Internet, which has made our lives more convenient. However, people, particularly many older people around the world have at least one common concern: How to get younger people, addicted to their electronic devices, interested in classic literature through advanced and updated technologies. Take the Monkey King, or Sun Wukong, as an example. The main character in the 16th-century classic novel, Journey to the West, is a symbol of bravery and adventure that impressed millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions.
Havoc in Heaven, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the beauty of the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West. This film, expected to create a new way to promote Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients (成分) of Peking Opera. It covers all the basic techniques, and makeup for dozens of facial representations of different figures’ characteristics.
It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its own characteristic. One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with keeping the basic performance skills in Peking Opera.
Some background images on stage remain, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the prerecorded music. “If we change traditions to satisfy people’s taste and preference for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art,” Cheng said.
On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to record a stage puter technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes.
Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s, but they gave way to more various entertainment. In recent years, there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films. However, the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances.
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To blame young people addicted to electronic devices.
B. To introduce a new Peking Opera film.
C. To express older people’s worry about the young generation’s life.
D. To inspire readers’ interest in traditional Chinese performance art.
13. What did Director Cheng do while producing the film
A. He made changes to basic performance skills.
B. He made use of symbols and motions equally.
C. He combined tradition and innovation together.
D. He brought onto the stage details of real life.
14. What innovation did Cheng’s team make
A. They opposed a rigid and inflexible recording of the performance.
B. They enriched visual effects with modern technology.
C. They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera.
D. They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting.
15. What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films.
B. Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination.
C. There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera.
D. The original charm of Peking Opera cannot be given up for films.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D

【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances.”（然而，许多京剧改编电影中过度使用特效，削弱了舞台表演的原有魅力。）可知，过度使用特效会牺牲戏剧本来的魅力，因此，不能为了电影而牺牲京剧本身的魅力。故选D。
