A
Four Top Places for Freshwater Diving(潜水)
If you're ready for an adventure and eager to explore our waterways, these four destinations will leave you breathless.
Clear Lake, Oregon
Located in Willamette National Forest in Central Oregon, the snow-fed Clear Lake has a year-round temperature of about 43 degrees Fahrenheit. True to its name, Clear Lake's water allows people on its surface to see a surprising 200 feet below. Its coldness has preserved an underwater forest.
Crystal River, Florida
Located about one hour and a half north of Tampa, Crystal River is the only part of Florida where swimmers are monitored(监视)around manatees or sea cows. The area keeps a list of Special Use Permit Holders authorized to offer tours, rentals, and instruction within its limits. If you're ready to dive into water and meet manatees for yourself, there's no better place to start your adventure.
Cooper River, South Carolina
The Cooper River is a short, wide river that begins at Lake Moultrie and finally empties into Charleston Harbor. Although the water is cold and you can hardly see anything at 20 feet deep, it is legal here to search for and collect megalodon (巨齿鲨) teeth and whale fossils (化石) buried in the depths. Hopeful collectors need not only excellent diving skills but also a strong flashlight, a collection net, and a South Carolina Hobby License.
Blue Hole, New Mexico
On historic Route 66 between Albuquerque and Amarillo, the Blue Hole of Santa Rosa, New Mexico looks like a valuable blue stone in the desert. Its spring water refreshes itself every six hours and keeps a steady(稳定的) year-round temperature of 62 degrees Fahrenheit. It's a popular destination for swimmers and an excellent location for diving instructors to conduct training courses.
21. What makes Crystal River a unique diving destination in Florida
A. It is close to Tampa and has the best diving conditions.
B. It is the only place in Florida to dive with manatees.
C. It is the deepest river in Florida with clear water.
D. It offers the cheapest diving tours in Florida.
22. Why do people dive in the Cooper River
A. To explore underwater historic heritage.
B. To collect fossils and shark teeth.
C. To observe unique sea creatures.
D. To practice cold-water diving skills.
23. What do the Clear Lake and the Blue Hole have in common
A. They have exceptional water depth.
B. They are located in national forests.
C. They have steady water temperatures year-round.
D. They are popular destinations for diving instructors.

My son had just turned five, and my husband and I were worried about
which school to send him to. I called my friend Shannon.In fact,she's the one I lean on most when I'm struggling with parenting decisions.She has a son who is ten years older than mine, so she has already experienced all the stages I'm still going through.
“Shannon, I'm so worried about picking the wrong school," I told her.“Jeanette, I know you've narrowed it down to two choices and that they are both good schools, right " she said. I said yes. “This isn't about schools, but let me tell you a story about choices," Shannon said.“I remember one night when I was doing some shopping, I was overtired and worried about my budget. I found myself standing in front of the bean shelves.One can was twenty cents cheaper, but it wasn't as good as the other. I stood there, undecided, for at least twenty minutes."
“It finally hit me: It's just a can of beans. In the long run, it didn't matter which type of beans I picked, A or B." Shannon made me laugh so hard that I almost cried.
“Now, choosing a school for your son isn't the same as picking out a can of beans for dinner, but because you are good parents, whatever school you pick is the right school. And, besides, you can always pick another one if it doesn't fit." I felt a lot better after I hung up the phone with Shannon.
My husband and I managed to pick a satisfactory school for our son. Now, whenever I'm in the midst of dithering over something, I ask myself this question: “Is it just a can of beans " Usually, it is.
The question helps me realize I don't need to worry too much about some decisions and waste time on them. I have to move forward. And if it turns out to be the wrong can of beans, you can always go back to get a different one.
24.Why did the author turn to Shannon for help
A. Shannon is known for her wise advice.
B.Shannon is a professional in education.
C.Shannon has richer parenting experience.
D.Shannon is a trusted shopping partner.
25.Why did Shannon share her experience in the grocery store
A. To offer a lesson on choices.
B. To stress the value of patience.
C. To show off her shopping skills.
D. To present her budgeting strategies.
26.What does the underlined phrase “dithering over” in the last but one
paragraph most probably mean
A. Arguing over. B.Waiting for.
C. Being dissatisfied with. D.Being indecisive about.
27. Why does the author always ask herself whether it is a can of beans
A. To remember Shannon's story. B. To make a quick decision.
C. To compare different choices. D. To avoid wrong decisions.
C
A recent report from a United Nations group warns that using technology in classes may not help as much as many people believe. It says that technology can be helpful, but it shouldn’t be the focus. Instead, technology should be used to support learning. “Too much attention on technology in education usually comes at a high cost, ” the report says.
Technology changes so fast that it’s hard to study how it really influences students.The new report says that many of the studies showing that technology helps students come from rich countries and that some of the studies supporting technology come from companies that sell technology to schools.
As classes moved online, the use of technology in education grew even more quickly. Many students were forced to study at home, using video calls to communicate with their teachers. But the report points out that around 500 million students were unable to take part in online classes. That’s a larger problem. People and countries with less money are often left out.
It is true that technology can help in many ways, like allowing students to learn in more interesting ways, helping teachers explain difficult ideas and helping students with special needs.But it can also be very distracting (分散注意力的). When students use phones in class, it can disturb (扰乱) their learning. One study that was carried out in 14 countries showed that even just having a smartphone nearby can be distracting. Even so, only less than 25% of the world’s countries don’t allow students to use phones in schools.
The report suggests that the best way to learn is still to work closely with teachers.Working with other classmates also helps students learn.Most schools should spend more money on things like books, classrooms, and teachers.
28. What is the goal of the new UN report
A. To stress the importance of digital technology.
B. To improve how technology is used in education.
C. To encourage more schools to use technology in class.
D. To pay more attention to the development of technology.
29. What is a relatively bigger problem for online class
A. Students cannot fully focus their attention.
B The Internet speed is much slower in many homes.
C. Schools have to spend extra money on the Internet.
D. The advantages of technology fail to be shared fairly.
30. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text
A. A recent UN report says that technology should not be used in classrooms.
B. One study showed that over a quarter of the world’s countries mustn’t use phones in schools.
C. The UN report says that the best way to learn is working with teachers instead of working with classmates.
D. Technology can have influence both in good and bad ways.
31. What is the best title of the text
A. A UN Group Calls for Limit on Technology in Schools
B. Countries Work Together to Improve Education
C. Technology Plays an Important Role in Our Life
D. Smartphones Help Students a Lot in Online Learning
D
Conflict (冲突) between parents and children is normal. It is part of family life. But conflict that goes on for a long time and gets worse over time can cause stress and can hurt relationships. It is important to communicate with each other and bring conflict to a peaceful solution. You can do this through compromise (让步) or by agreeing to disagree. No matter what else you do, communicate with your children and make sure they know that you love them. This can make dealing with conflict easier and more effective.
In some cases, you may have to change your behaviour to settle a conflict with your child. Some of your child’s behaviour may be a reaction to your behaviour. So, if you want your child to behave in a certain way, one way may be to change your behaviour so that your child will follow your model.
But children should be responsible for their own actions — and the results. All parents want to protect their children. But in some cases, unless the child is in physical danger, it may be best to let the child deal with the negative results of things they do.
Collaborate (合作) to develop specific rules and write them down. These may include statements such as how much time they can spend on electronics, and when homework must be completed. Not only are you modeling for your kids how to work together and resolve differences, but you also are working out important guidelines for how your house will operate.
Have clear results for misconduct. Thus, if your child disobeys the rules, make it clear that the right to use the toy will be taken away because of his inability to play with it responsibly. Additionally, create routines so that they know when they have free time to themselves after they have completed tasks set out for them. These could include helping feed the family pet, taking a shower, or finishing homework.
32. What’s the key to solving the conflict between parents and children
A. Advising children to give in. B. Changing behavior.
C. Reaching an understanding. D. Developing rules.
33. Why do parents need to change their behavior first in the conflict
A. To compromise with their children.
B. To be responsible for their actions.
C. To find a reason to punish children.
D. To set a good example for children.
34. What should parents do if the child causes something bad to happen
A. Teach him how to solve it.
B. Handle the situation for him.
C. Let him deal with it himself.
D. Share the solutions with him.
35. What does the underlined word “misconduct” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Improper behavior. B. Strict rules.
C. Good performances. D. Frank words.

The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma's farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove. Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right.
The car engine wasn't off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. " Jude, you look unhappy. Why " Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake Was he still upset with me “I'm fine,” I answered. “I'm just missing my computer puters are something I'm good at.”“That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded.
I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up(一团糟) last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers' market.
Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr.Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested(采摘的) roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten(紧张) and was ready for his criticism(批评). I deserved(值得) it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer.
However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的) computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn't mean you never make mistakes.”
I looked out of the window. There were piles of(堆积的) roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件) for our internet connection, but we just can't set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century.
