Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
（2024·福建四校高二下联考）Life beneath the sea surface can be lovely and lively. But many organisms （生物体） there produce poisonous chemicals to keep away from predators.Divers are now collecting such poisons as candidate drugs for human medicine.
Sharks aren’t the scariest things in the ocean for scientists who dive to work. Powerful currents， created where the ocean floor drops away， can be just as deadly. But the scientists who work underwater train to deal with these dangers. The rewards of research and underwater adventure are greater than the risks.
The sea may seem like a strange place to look for new drugs. But organisms in the ocean have had to adapt to a tough environment. The chemicals they make for survival might help people， too. More than 50 years ago， scientists discovered a new anti-cancer drug in a sea sponge. Since then， researchers have been hunting the seas for more of such useful natural products.
With the help of underwater robots and small submarines， scientists are searching the seas — from shallow reefs to the oceans’ great depths.
Microbes living in the Arctic’s cold waters break down their food using more different ways than organisms on land do. This process of turning food into energy for growth， activities and reproduction is called metabolism （新陈代谢）. These pathways also produce chemicals called “secondary metabolites”. One day they might also help people.
During a four-year project called PharmaSeas， scientists made thousands of extracts from those seafloor samples. In about a dozen of them， researchers found mixtures that can kill bacteria that some of today’s antibiotics cannot. Yet another mixture may reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
1.Why do some sea organisms produce poisonous chemicals？（ ）
A.To struggle for existence. B.To benefit other creatures.
C.To change their environment. D.To hide themselves in the sea.
2.What may threaten scientists’ lives when they work underwater according to the text？（ ）
A.The darkness in the deep ocean. B.Dangerous animals and currents.
C.Poisonous chemicals in the water. D.The ocean floors dropping away quickly.
3.What is special about the mixtures from seafloor samples？（ ）
A.They have the same effects as today’s medicine.
B.They can treat many diseases.
C.They have unique functions.
D.They can kill all bacteria.
4.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage？（ ）
A.Living Resources in the Ocean
B.Dangers of Diving in the Sea
C.Future Sources of Medicines
D.Diving for New Medicines

（2024·聊城高二下期末）The danger of AI is something that has kept the bright minds at Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute occupied since 2005.One of 23 full-time researchers， FHI Research Fellow Ben Garfinkel， strives to help capture the benefits and reduce the risks of artificial intelligence.He explains the danger of unregulated AI development like this，“In the relatively near-term， there are concerns around autonomous weapons systems， job loss from automation， and new forms of cyber attacks.In the long run， as AI systems become more capable or even smarter than humans， it might also be hard to ensure that they will behave according to our own moral values.”
Some highly regarded scientists like the late Steven Hawking and entrepreneur Elon Musk， have expressed concern that a super-intelligent AI could escape our control and do things we won’t like or be able to stop.Indeed， Musk recently warned that “AI is far more dangerous than nuclear weapons.So why do we have no regulatory oversight？ This is crazy.”
Still， there are those who think these fears are overblown.Richard Socher， chief scientist at US software company Salesforce has written，“We face major issues around prejudice and diversity that are much more important than robot uprisings.”
“The more control we have in advance， the better the transition to the machine intelligence era will be，” advises FHI Director Nick Bostrum.
It must also be remembered that just because a disaster hasn’t yet happened doesn’t mean the risks aren’t increasing.Indeed Martin Rees warns that “the probabilities of disasters caused by misuse of technology are rising year by year”.
The worrying thing is that given the threat that these technologies pose， relatively little resource is being made use of to investigate how to deal with these risks effectively.As Martin Rees points out， “There’s a huge effort aimed at analysing and trying to reduce familiar risks.But there can’t be even 100 people worldwide whose main focus is on really extreme risks.”
5.What attitude did Ben Garfinkel take towards AI？（ ）
A.A little confused. B.A little ambiguous.
C.Cautious and worried. D.Confident and hopeful.
6.What can we infer about Richard Socher？（ ）
A.He is conservative. B.He is open-minded.
C.He has a sense of humour. D.He lacks a sense of responsibility.
7.What message is conveyed in the last paragraph？（ ）
A.Much remains to be done to develop AI.
B.Great achievements have been made in AI.
C.We haven’t done enough to prevent AI risks.
D.AI scientists are working with great efficiency.
8.How does the author develop this passage？（ ）
A.By listing some facts. B.By providing some reasons.
C.By analysing some phenomena. D.By quoting some famous people.

Last March， Margarito drove to visit his mother who lived in the countryside.When he set off for home， Margarito’s mother looked at the dark sky and noticed the sign of a coming storm.Worried about her son’s safety， she told him to drive as carefully as possible on his way home and he promised to give her a call upon his arrival.
With his mother’s words in mind， Margarito approached the main road carefully.Soon， it started to rain heavily.Eager to get home， Margarito began to drive faster.Two hours later， he came to a bumpy mountain road that had been flooded by a creek （小溪）.Margarito， driving a four-wheel drive truck， figured that he would be OK.At that moment， he didn’t realise that such a thought would be a big mistake.
It was halfway across the creek that an unfortunate incident took place： The rushing waters grabbed hold of his vehicle， pushing it off the road and sending it down a rocky creek bed.The truck finally stopped some 80 feet away.Margarito’s problems only grew from there as the water had somehow positioned the truck into the creek bank at a 45-degree angle， making it difficult for him to open the driver’s side door.Injured and trapped inside with the muddy water rising quickly， Margarito was certain he was going to die.Shaking with fear， he was at a loss about what to do.
On the road right behind Margarito were a delivery worker named Steve and his nephew Mike， who were on the way to deliver furniture to customers in the countryside.They witnessed the horrible incident， and when Margarito’s truck came to rest in the middle of the overflowing creek， Steve quickly began to take action.First， he grabbed a rope from the back of his vehicle and used it to ensure he could safely approach the truck.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
Next， he turned to Mike and yelled，“Give me a rock！”
Margarito was about to thank Steve and Mike when the mobile phone in his jacket pocket rang.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。有些海洋生物所产生的有毒化学物质对人类很有用，科学家们现在正在寻找其中可以用于治疗人类疾病的化学物质。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的But many organisms （生物体） there produce poisonous chemicals to keep away from predators.可知，许多海洋生物会产生有毒的化学物质来抵御捕食者，也就是说，海洋生物产生有毒的化学物质是为了生存。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句可知，对于需要潜水工作的科学家来说，鲨鱼并不是海洋中最可怕的东西，因海底落差产生的强大洋流也同样是致命的。由此可知，当科学家在水下工作时，危险的动物和洋流会威胁他们的生命。
3.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句可知，科学家们在来自海底的样本里发现了混合物，它们可以杀死现在的一些抗生素不能杀死的细菌。有一种混合物还能减轻阿尔茨海默病的症状。由此可推知，这些来自海底样本的混合物有特殊的功能。
4.D 标题归纳题。根据全文内容尤其是第一段最后一句可知，本文主要讲述了科学家们潜到海里收集各种海洋生物产生的化学物质，用于制作药物。因此D项（潜水寻找新药）适合作文章标题。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。人工智能的发展给人类带来了巨大的挑战，很多科学家开始意识到这一威胁，呼吁我们开始防范这一风险。
5.C 观点态度题。根据第一段可知，Ben Garfinkel重点强调了人工智能对人类可能带来的潜在风险和威胁。由此判断，他对人工智能的态度是谨慎和担忧的。
6.B 推理判断题。根据第三段可知，Richard Socher认为人们夸大了人工智能可能带来的风险，他更强调去除偏见并倡导多样化。由此判断，他心胸宽广。
7.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，我们目前几乎没有采取多少有效措施来防范人工智能发展可能带来的风险，我们只是关注那些人们熟悉的风险。
8.D 推理判断题。综合全文可知，作者主要通过大量引用一些科学家及研究人员的话来展开文章。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者发现自己有严重的脸盲症以后生活发生的变化以及作者对这件事态度的转变。
9.B 根据下文作者的提问Aren’t you supposed to be in London？可知，作者对于看到明明已经离开这个城市去伦敦的 Sandy 这件事情感到很意外。
10.A 根据上下文可知，Sandy应该是盯着作者说话。
11.C 根据上文I then found out that I have a rare disease — face blindness.可知，因为“我”发现自己有脸盲症，所以“我”去看了医生。选项中和 found out 意思最接近的是discovery。
12.C 根据上下文可知，作者对于这件事情不是很在乎，反正其他人也不关心自己是否有脸盲症。
13.D 根据常识可知，脸盲症是一种认不清人的脸、对别人的脸型失去辨认能力的一种病，可以推断它是和大脑有关的。
14.A 根据上文的关键词 nothing 可知，脸盲症目前没有特别好的治疗方式。promising有前途的；有希望的。
15.C 根据上文After a sad goodbye， I fled in tears.可知，作者应该是很绝望的。
16.A 根据上文Dad gave me some important advice可知，本空所表达的含义是“建议”。
17.B 根据下文If they smiled， I stopped to chat.可知，作者会对望向自己方向的人报以微笑，如果对方也笑了，他就会停下来和对方聊天。
18.B 根据上文作者在校园里和他人聊天的方式可知，对方不一定是作者认识的，所以作者应该是很擅长和陌生人聊天。
19.D 根据上文可知，作者有脸盲症，所以生日会上的很多朋友他都不能够认出。
20.C 根据下文可知，实际上，作者是可以通过参加课程的方式治疗脸盲症的，但是他并没有，而是把时间花在了自己喜欢的事情上面。
21.D 根据上文的would rather 可知，作者应该是宁愿把时间花在自己喜欢的事情上。
22.B 根据上句可知，作者在认出鸟的种类时很激动。
23.D 根据下文I’ve learnt to see the world可知，脸盲症对于作者来说是一件好事情。

Stop Plastic Pollution， Protect the Sea
As is known to all， plastic pollution is becoming so serious that our seas have been greatly damaged.It is reported that those microplastics have come to our dinner table together with the seafood we eat.What a tragic fact！
It’s high time that we took effective measures to improve the situation.What we need to do is simple — stop using all single-use plastic products， such as plastic bags， plastic cups， and plastic tableware.Instead， we should practice the 3Rs： Reduce， Reuse， and Recycle.
The sea provides countless benefits for the Earth and all the creatures on it.Let’s take action to protect it for you， for me， and for our planet！

Next， he turned to Mike and yelled，“Give me a rock！” With the rock， he hit the window over and over but had little success.Steve then shouted to Margarito to move away from the window.He balanced himself on the truck， leaned back and threw the rock at the window.Finally， the glass broke and Steve kicked in the remaining pieces of glass.Relieved， Margarito reached out for Steve’s hand and was rescued.The two men escaped and returned to safety.
Margarito was about to thank Steve and Mike when the mobile phone in his jacket pocket rang.With trembling hands， Margarito took out the phone and pressed it to his ear.His mother’s anxious voice came over the phone，“Are you home yet？ Everything’s good？” Tears welled up in his eyes at the familiar sound of concern.Margarito choked up as he explained the accident to his mom and comforted her.Hanging up the phone， he turned to Steve and Mike and sincerely thanked both of them.Cold as the rain was， great warmth filled his heart like never before.

Step 1 品教材课文 Step 2 析写作手法
Text 1 When people talk of exploring the sea more， they usually mean exploiting it.Sea exploration has caused many problems and will continue to cause more. More exploration means more pollution.The Deepwater Horizon spilled over 200 million gallons of oil into the sea in 2010.Plastic pollution is also bad， killing many birds and fish， and has even been found in our tap water. Mining for resources is very damaging， especially in the Arctic.Because of climate change， there is less ice now， which means we can look for more fossil fuels further north.But if we burn these， the ice will melt more and this negative cycle will continue.Climate change is warning us that something is very wrong. Overfishing is another problem.Whales and dolphins are also hunted for their meat or for so-called research.Although this was banned in 1982，some countries are still “murdering” these intelligent creatures without mercy. The sea is home to life， not human beings’ possessions.It is huge， but it is more sensitive than we think.If we do not protect it， future generations will not forgive us. Text 2 To truly understand our planet， we must explore the oceans which cover most of it.Opponents may be concerned，but sea exploration is important for our future.For example，scientific research ships can help address important issues such as climate change.We need to understand what is happening to our planet so that we can take action.Therefore， more research is necessary. Understanding more about the sea will also help us manage its resources better. Logging new species will improve our understanding of life on the earth.It may help us discover new medicines， as well as new sources of food and energy.Accessing the deep ocean may also help us to predict events such as earthquakes. The population of the world is growing and we need new resources for future development.There are probably vast amounts of resources under the sea and ice， not just oil and gas but also valuable minerals. Of course， there are still environmental risks.However， these should be balanced with economic needs. Hopefully， as technology improves， we may have more options for managing this balance. 学语言： Text 1： 第二段最后一句中使用了动词-ing短语作结果状语（killing many birds and fish）；第三段使用了非限制性定语从句（which means we can look for more fossil fuels further north）。 Text 2： 第一段使用了动词不定式短语作目的状语（To truly understand our planet）和so that引导的目的状语从句；第三段使用了not just ...but （also） ...句式；最后一段使用了as引导的时间状语从句（as technology improves），这些高级句式和语法的运用使得文章精彩纷呈。 学结构： Text 1： 本文指出：海洋探索对海洋造成了很大的伤害，弊大于利。第一段开门见山地指出海洋探索往往意味着对海洋的过度开发，导致许多问题。第二至第四段分别阐述海洋开发带来的问题，包括海洋污染、气候变化、过度捕捞等。第五段作者总结全文，发出呼吁：海洋是生命的家园，保护海洋迫在眉睫。 Text 2： 本文第一句话阐明观点：要更好地了解我们的星球，就必须探索占据地球绝大部分面积的海洋。紧接着，作者就反对者的担忧提出第一个分论点，即为了更好地理解和解决气候变化等全球问题，我们需要进行海洋探索活动。第二段是第二个分论点，指出海洋探索有利于人类更好地利用资源。第三段是第三个分论点，指出海洋探索事关未来的人类生存。第四、五两段作者再次回应反对意见，指出在环保与发展之间需要寻求平衡，并相信随着技术进步，人类将更有能力取得这种平衡。
【参考译文】
文本一
人们在谈论扩大海洋探索的时候，通常指的是海洋开发。海洋探索已经造成了许多问题，并将继续引发更多问题。
扩大探索意味着污染加剧。2010年“深水地平线”号钻井平台在海中溢出了两亿多加仑的石油。塑料污染也十分严重，导致许多鸟类和鱼类死亡，甚至在我们的自来水中也发现了塑料污染。
资源开采极具破坏性，尤其是在北极地区。由于气候变化，现在冰川减少了，这意味着我们可以在更北的地方寻找更多的化石燃料。但是，如果我们烧尽这些燃料，冰川将融化得更多，这一不良循环将持续下去。气候变化正警告我们情况不妙。
过度捕捞是另一个问题。鲸鱼和海豚也遭到捕杀，成为盘中美食或用于所谓的研究。尽管早在1982年就已禁止，但有的国家仍在无情地“谋杀”这些聪明的生物。
海洋是生命的家园，而不是人类的私产。海洋广阔无垠，但比我们想象的更为敏感。如果我们不保护它，子孙后代将不会原谅我们。
文本二
为了真正了解我们的星球，我们必须探索覆盖其表面大部分的海洋。反对者也许会忧心忡忡，但是海洋探索对我们的未来十分重要。例如，科学考察船可以帮助应对像气候变化这种重要的问题。我们需要了解我们的星球正在发生什么，这样我们才能采取行动。因此，有必要开展更多的研究。
深入了解海洋也有助于我们更好地管理其资源。记载新物种将提升我们对地球上的生命的了解。这可能还会帮助我们发现新的药物，以及新的食物和能源来源。深海探索还有可能会帮助我们预测地震等事件。
世界人口正在不断增长，我们需要新的资源来维系未来的发展。海洋和冰川之下可能蕴藏着大量的资源，不仅仅是石油和天然气，还有珍贵的矿物。
当然，环境风险仍然存在。但是，这些风险应该与经济需求相平衡。
随着技术的进步，我们有望会有更多的选择来驾驭这一平衡。

Dear Editor，
Recently our class has had a discussion about whether sea exploration should be carried out.
Some of the students are in favour of sea exploration.They say sea exploration has made it possible for people to discover new medicines， as well as new sources of food and energy.Others are against it.In their opinion， although sea exploration might help improve our understanding of life on the earth， it might bring about marine pollution，which finally leads the ocean creatures to death.It might also cause ecosystem destruction.
Personally speaking，sea exploration should be balanced with economic needs.Hopefully， as technology improves， we may have more options for achieving this balance.

D. The damage caused by earthquakes.
Step 1 品教材课文
Text 1
When people talk of exploring the sea more， they usually mean
exploiting it.Sea exploration has caused many problems and will continue
to cause more.
More exploration means more pollution.The Deepwater Horizon
spilled over 200 million gallons of oil into the sea in 2010.Plastic pollution
is also bad， killing many birds and fish， and has even been found in our
tap water.
Mining for resources is very damaging， especially in the
Arctic.Because of climate change， there is less ice now， which means
we can look for more fossil fuels further north.But if we burn these， the
ice will melt more and this negative cycle will continue.Climate change is
warning us that something is very wrong.
Overfishing is another problem.Whales and dolphins are also hunted
for their meat or for so-called research.Although this was banned in
1982，some countries are still “murdering” these intelligent creatures
without mercy.
The sea is home to life， not human beings’ possessions.It is
huge， but it is more sensitive than we think.If we do not protect it，
future generations will not forgive us.
Text 2
To truly understand our planet， we must explore the oceans which
cover most of it.Opponents may be concerned，but sea exploration is
important for our future.For example，scientific research ships can help
address important issues such as climate change.We need to understand
what is happening to our planet so that we can take action.Therefore，
more research is necessary.
Understanding more about the sea will also help us manage its
resources better. Logging new species will improve our understanding of
life on the earth.It may help us discover new medicines， as well as new
sources of food and energy.Accessing the deep ocean may also help us to
predict events such as earthquakes.
The population of the world is growing and we need new resources
for future development.There are probably vast amounts of resources
under the sea and ice， not just oil and gas but also valuable minerals.
Of course， there are still environmental risks.However， these
should be balanced with economic needs.
Hopefully， as technology improves， we may have more options
for managing this balance.

本文指出：海洋探索对海洋造成了很大的伤害，弊大于利。第一
段开门见山地指出海洋探索往往意味着对海洋的过度开发，导致许多
问题。第二至第四段分别阐述海洋开发带来的问题，包括海洋污染、
气候变化、过度捕捞等。第五段作者总结全文，发出呼吁：海洋是生
命的家园，保护海洋迫在眉睫。

本文第一句话阐明观点：要更好地了解我们的星球，就必须探索
占据地球绝大部分面积的海洋。紧接着，作者就反对者的担忧提出第
一个分论点，即为了更好地理解和解决气候变化等全球问题，我们需
要进行海洋探索活动。第二段是第二个分论点，指出海洋探索有利于
人类更好地利用资源。第三段是第三个分论点，指出海洋探索事关未
来的人类生存。第四、五两段作者再次回应反对意见，指出在环保与
发展之间需要寻求平衡，并相信随着技术进步，人类将更有能力取得
这种平衡。
【参考译文】
文本一
人们在谈论扩大海洋探索的时候，通常指的是海洋开发。海洋探
索已经造成了许多问题，并将继续引发更多问题。
扩大探索意味着污染加剧。2010年“深水地平线”号钻井平台在
海中溢出了两亿多加仑的石油。塑料污染也十分严重，导致许多鸟类
和鱼类死亡，甚至在我们的自来水中也发现了塑料污染。
资源开采极具破坏性，尤其是在北极地区。由于气候变化，现在
冰川减少了，这意味着我们可以在更北的地方寻找更多的化石燃料。
但是，如果我们烧尽这些燃料，冰川将融化得更多，这一不良循环将
持续下去。气候变化正警告我们情况不妙。
过度捕捞是另一个问题。鲸鱼和海豚也遭到捕杀，成为盘中美食
或用于所谓的研究。尽管早在1982年就已禁止，但有的国家仍在无情
地“谋杀”这些聪明的生物。
海洋是生命的家园，而不是人类的私产。海洋广阔无垠，但比我
们想象的更为敏感。如果我们不保护它，子孙后代将不会原谅我们。
文本二
为了真正了解我们的星球，我们必须探索覆盖其表面大部分的海
洋。反对者也许会忧心忡忡，但是海洋探索对我们的未来十分重要。
例如，科学考察船可以帮助应对像气候变化这种重要的问题。我们需
要了解我们的星球正在发生什么，这样我们才能采取行动。因此，有
必要开展更多的研究。
深入了解海洋也有助于我们更好地管理其资源。记载新物种将提
升我们对地球上的生命的了解。这可能还会帮助我们发现新的药物，
以及新的食物和能源来源。深海探索还有可能会帮助我们预测地震等
事件。
世界人口正在不断增长，我们需要新的资源来维系未来的发展。
海洋和冰川之下可能蕴藏着大量的资源，不仅仅是石油和天然气，还
有珍贵的矿物。
当然，环境风险仍然存在。但是，这些风险应该与经济需求
相平衡。
随着技术的进步，我们有望会有更多的选择来驾驭这一平衡。
Step 3 背出彩佳句
第一段：点明辩论的主题
1. When it comes to ocean exploration， people hold different opinions.
当谈到海洋探索时，人们持有不同的观点。

（2024·福建四校高二下联考）Life beneath the sea surface can be
lovely and lively. But many organisms （生物体） there produce
poisonous chemicals to keep away from predators.Divers are now
collecting such poisons as candidate drugs for human medicine.
Sharks aren’t the scariest things in the ocean for scientists who dive
to work. Powerful currents， created where the ocean floor drops away，
can be just as deadly. But the scientists who work underwater train to deal
with these dangers. The rewards of research and underwater adventure are
greater than the risks.
The sea may seem like a strange place to look for new drugs. But
organisms in the ocean have had to adapt to a tough environment. The
chemicals they make for survival might help people， too. More than 50
years ago， scientists discovered a new anti-cancer drug in a sea sponge.
Since then， researchers have been hunting the seas for more of such
useful natural products.
With the help of underwater robots and small submarines， scientists
are searching the seas — from shallow reefs to the oceans’ great depths.
Microbes living in the Arctic’s cold waters break down their food
using more different ways than organisms on land do. This process of
turning food into energy for growth， activities and reproduction is called
metabolism （新陈代谢）. These pathways also produce chemicals
called “secondary metabolites”. One day they might also help people.
During a four-year project called PharmaSeas， scientists made
thousands of extracts from those seafloor samples. In about a dozen of
them， researchers found mixtures that can kill bacteria that some of
today’s antibiotics cannot. Yet another mixture may reduce the
symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.

（2024·聊城高二下期末）The danger of AI is something that has
kept the bright minds at Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute occupied
since 2005.One of 23 full-time researchers， FHI Research Fellow Ben
Garfinkel， strives to help capture the benefits and reduce the risks of
artificial intelligence.He explains the danger of unregulated AI
development like this，“In the relatively near-term， there are concerns
around autonomous weapons systems， job loss from automation， and
new forms of cyber attacks.In the long run， as AI systems become more
capable or even smarter than humans， it might also be hard to ensure that
they will behave according to our own moral values.”
Some highly regarded scientists like the late Steven Hawking and
entrepreneur Elon Musk， have expressed concern that a super-intelligent
AI could escape our control and do things we won’t like or be able to
stop.Indeed， Musk recently warned that “AI is far more dangerous than
nuclear weapons.So why do we have no regulatory oversight？ This is
crazy.”
Still， there are those who think these fears are overblown.Richard
Socher， chief scientist at US software company Salesforce has written，
“We face major issues around prejudice and diversity that are much more
important than robot uprisings.”
“The more control we have in advance， the better the transition to
the machine intelligence era will be，” advises FHI Director Nick
Bostrum.
It must also be remembered that just because a disaster hasn’t yet
happened doesn’t mean the risks aren’t increasing.Indeed Martin Rees
warns that “the probabilities of disasters caused by misuse of technology
are rising year by year”.
The worrying thing is that given the threat that these technologies
pose， relatively little resource is being made use of to investigate how to
deal with these risks effectively.As Martin Rees points out， “There’s
a huge effort aimed at analysing and trying to reduce familiar risks.But
there can’t be even 100 people worldwide whose main focus is on really
extreme risks.”

B. He is open-minded.
C. He has a sense of humour.
D. He lacks a sense of responsibility.

It’s high time that we took effective measures to improve the
situation.What we need to do is simple — stop using all single-use plastic
products， such as plastic bags， plastic cups， and plastic
tableware.Instead， we should practice the 3Rs： Reduce， Reuse， and
Recycle.
The sea provides countless benefits for the Earth and all the creatures
on it.Let’s take action to protect it for you， for me， and for our

Last March， Margarito drove to visit his mother who lived in the
countryside.When he set off for home， Margarito’s mother looked at
the dark sky and noticed the sign of a coming storm.Worried about her
son’s safety， she told him to drive as carefully as possible on his way
home and he promised to give her a call upon his arrival.
With his mother’s words in mind， Margarito approached the main
road carefully.Soon， it started to rain heavily.Eager to get home，
Margarito began to drive faster.Two hours later， he came to a bumpy
mountain road that had been flooded by a creek （小溪）.Margarito，
driving a four-wheel drive truck， figured that he would be OK. At that
moment， he didn’t realise that such a thought would be a big mistake.
It was halfway across the creek that an unfortunate incident took
place： The rushing waters grabbed hold of his vehicle， pushing it off the
road and sending it down a rocky creek bed.The truck finally stopped
some 80 feet away.Margarito’s problems only grew from there as the
water had somehow positioned the truck into the creek bank at a 45-degree
angle， making it difficult for him to open the driver’s side door.Injured
and trapped inside with the muddy water rising quickly， Margarito was
certain he was going to die.Shaking with fear， he was at a loss about
what to do.
On the road right behind Margarito were a delivery worker named
Steve and his nephew Mike， who were on the way to deliver furniture to
customers in the countryside.They witnessed the horrible incident， and
when Margarito’s truck came to rest in the middle of the overflowing
creek， Steve quickly began to take action.First， he grabbed a rope from
the back of his vehicle and used it to ensure he could safely approach the
truck.

Next， he turned to Mike and yelled，“Give me a rock！” With
the rock， he hit the window over and over but had little success.Steve
then shouted to Margarito to move away from the window.He balanced
himself on the truck， leaned back and threw the rock at the
window.Finally， the glass broke and Steve kicked in the remaining
pieces of glass.Relieved， Margarito reached out for Steve’s hand and
was rescued.The two men escaped and returned to safety.
Margarito was about to thank Steve and Mike when the mobile
phone in his jacket pocket rang.With trembling hands， Margarito took
out the phone and pressed it to his ear.His mother’s anxious voice came
over the phone，“Are you home yet？ Everything’s good？” Tears
welled up in his eyes at the familiar sound of concern.Margarito choked up
as he explained the accident to his mom and comforted her.Hanging up the
phone， he turned to Steve and Mike and sincerely thanked both of
them.Cold as the rain was， great warmth filled his heart like never
before.
