Barditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was wheeled to the park.

Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声) when Ms. Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined.

Then Ms. Yates started to speak: I can't tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven't seen many of you since your graduation. but I have followed your careers(事业) and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies(不幸).I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven't appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth of your children, in my imagination

Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued: "It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives(动机),I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path. " "There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart."

There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafening roar( 呼喊). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

Mark Twain looked down upon those people who think it is possible for someone to learn how to write a novel. "A man who is not born with the novel-writing gift has troublesome time of it when he tries to build a novel", he said.

But now new technology is making a difference to help an author write a novel. Michael Green, a US data scientist-turned-novelist, felt that technology could help him.

He said that the process had become difficult to manage: "In the midst of editing, I got to the point where I started feeling like I had a lot of plots and characters "he said “I had all these documents on the deeper aspects of the world I was creating. I was worried about not being able to keep track of it all. That is when I switched into my more data science-minded approach to solving a complex problem with a lot of different places."

Green went on to create Lynit, a digital platform to help authors plan and weave together the many elements that form a story, such as the themes, characters and major events.

"As the author gets a new idea that they want to bring into the story they are able to input it into a natural framework," he said "piece by piece they are adding to the story. As new ideas come in, they change, maybe by creating new nodes(节点)new relationships. "

Once the book has been published, technology is also playing an ever-increasing role in publicity and connecting with readers. Websites and APPs from specialist firms allow authors to participate in live-question-and-answer sessions with their audience. Michael Green believes technology will become even more important as a new generation of tech savvy(精通技术的)writers becomes more well known.

"What I'm finding with the Generation Z and even younger writers is that they are looking for technology to give them guidance," he said "They see it as a tool to learn and grow with rather than extra work."

8、What difficulty did Green face in writing his book?

A. He felt that he was not creative enough

B. He would reduce important plots

C. He had trouble organizing his thoughts.

D. He was afraid the characters wouldn't attract readers

9、What is an advantage of technology according to the text?

A. It creates new relationships for others

B. It can generate images based on words

C. It can translate thoughts into sentences

D. It brings authors closer to their readers

10、Which of the following would Green most probably agree with?

A. Tech-savvy writers become known thanks to technology

B. Young writers rely too heavily on technology.

C. Technology should be prevented as extra work

D. New technology matters to growing young writers

11、Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?

A. What Can We Learn from Mark Twain?

B. Can Technology Help Authors Write a Book?

C. How Can Authors Become Skilled in Technology?

D. Do We Really Need Technology as Our Guidance?

When people think of threats facing the ocean, we often think of climate change plastics, and overfishing. But research shows noise pollution is another important thing we need to be monitoring. Scientists say the changes in the sounds of our oceans seas, and other waterways affect many marine animals—from very small shrimps to huge whales.

Francis Juanes, an ecologist, explained, "For fish, sound is probably a better way to sense their environment than light." Sounds help fish and other marine animal survive. They use sounds to communicate with each other. Sounds also help some ocean animals find food and avoid their hunters. Many ocean animals use sounds to find good places to mate(交配).

However, increased noise from humans is making it harder for these animals to hear each other. The noise is coming from shipping traffic, motorized fishing ships, underwater oil and gas exploration, offshore construction, and other noisy human activity. "For many marine species, their attempts to communicate are being masked by sounds that humans have introduced," said Carlos Duarte, who co-wrote the paper with Juanes.

Experts at NOAA (the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) explain the term masking on its website. Masking happens when one or more noises in the water block sound important to a marine animal's existence. NOAA experts state that masking is most noticeable when "a noise is at the same frequency and loudness as biologically important sounds, such as mating calls."

The stress from human noise might also affect the immune (免疫)system—an animal's natural defense system—as well as reproductive （生殖的)health or behavior. Imagine having to raise your kids in a place that's noisy all the time,” said Joe Roman. He is a marine ecologist at the University of Vermont and was not involved in the research. Roman added that it should come as no surprise that many marine animals are showing higher levels of stress due to noise.

12、Why is it significant to monitor noise pollution in the ocean?

A. Noise pollution threatens the survival of marine animals.

B. Marine animals are less sensitive to light and plastic

C. Marine pollution keeps changing the sounds of the ocean.

D. Noise pollution results directly from climate change.

13、What do the experts mean by using the term "masking" ?

A. Being unable to detect mate calls leads to decline of marine animals.

B. The noise only occurs when it is of the same frequency of animals' sounds

C. The mixed noise prevents animals from detecting important sounds

D. Human activities are involved in producing noise in the ocean

14、What does Joe Roman imply in the last paragraph?

A. The immune system of marine animals is the same as kids'

B. Raising kids in a noisy environment leads to more pressure

C. Noise pollution is easier to deal with than other ocean threats

D. Marine animals suffer from stress in a noisy environment.

15、What is the suitable title for the passage?

A. The Sharp Decline of Marine Animals

B. Humans Are Making Oceans Too Noisy

C. Time to Clean Up the Polluted Ocean

D. Importance of Sounds for Ocean Animals

Learning that you are interested in the Spring Festival, it's my honour to tell you something about it. The Spring Festival falls on the first day of the Lunar New Year.  It’s traditionally regarded as an occasion for family reunion. People gather together to enjoy a big dinner with joy on its eve. What's more, you can see many decorations such as lanterns and paper cuttings during this festival, which symbolize good wishes for the coming year. As a matter of act, I really want to invite you to spend the next Spring Festival with me.

Looking forward to your reply.
