Today, on the final day of summer camp, Ada and Lilly stand below the Bear Crawl, the camp’s highest, hardest rope course. They watch the rope ladder, with its wooden rungs (阶梯) and rope sides, sway (摇摆) in the wind between two tall pines.

Ada feels very ____13____, but she can breathe again to hear Lilly volunteer to go first. The camp teacher, Mark, nods and helps Lilly get ready. Then Lilly begins her frightening crawl across the rope ladder. The wind blows and the ladder sways, but she holds tight.

“Go, Lilly, go! You’re a champion. You’ve got this!” Ada cheers from below. When Lilly ____14____ the challenge, Ada feels relieved for her friend but also nervous, it is her ____15____ now. Mark checks Ada’s helmet and harness, and he lifts Ada up to the platform.

Mark slowly lowers Ada to the ground. Ada can see all the other kids staring up at her, she is embarrassed.

“Can I try again?” Ada says in a low voice, trying to hold back tears.

Mark looks at his watch. “I’m sorry, Ada, we don’t have time.”

“You got scared?”

Since the age of two, Ryder has been in a wheelchair. Last September he started the first grade and took the bus to school every day. Because he couldn’t rush to catch the bus, sometimes he had to wait for fifteen minutes outside for the next one. It was all right when the weather was fine. However, if it was a rainy day with strong wind, Ryder would get wet, cold and uncomfortable.

Tim, who went to the local high school, rode the same bus with Ryder and noticed this. He wanted to help him stay warm but didn’t know what to do. He told his teacher, Dan, about Ryder.

“Why not build Ryder a bus stop hut?” said Dan, “We can spend sometime after school working on this project.”

“Great idea!” said Tim.

Tim shared Dan’s idea with his classmates, and they immediately decided to join in. Three of Dan’s classes worked hard on the project for days. They watched videos to learn how to create the structure. The thought of keeping Ryder away from cold wind made them work nonstop. They wanted to finish it before snow would be falling. Some local companies heard about it and also helped.

The hut was finally built two weeks later. Ryder’s family was shocked. It was so big that it allowed Ryder and an adult to be with him comfortably. The family sent a photo of Ryder in the hut and thanked Tim and other students for their hard work. The students were so excited to see just how their project helped others.

You and Your Data（数据）

As the Internet and digital （数字的）technology become a bigger part of our lives, more of our data becomes publicly ready for use, leading to questions about privacy（隐私）. So, how do we connect with the growing digital world without giving in the safety of our information and our right to privacy?

Imagine that you want to learn a new language. You search “Is German a difficult language?” on your phone. Then you read an article with advice on learning German. You use a search service to find German courses. It asks you to turn on location （定位）services to find courses near you. You click “accept”. Later while you’re sending an email, an advertisement about a local language school teaching German pops up. You wonder how they’ve known. At all steps of your online activity, your phone and websites are collecting data and following your behavior online.

 2

Many of us share our locations, travel plans, opinions, shopping interests and family photos online—as services like ordering a takeaway meal, booking a plane or buying new clothes now take place online and require us to give out our data.

Every search you make, service you use, message you send and product you buy is part of your “digital footprint”. Companies and online platforms use this “footprint” to track （跟踪）exactly what you are doing, from what links you click on to how much time you spend on a website. From your online behavior, they can guess what you are interested in and what things you might want to buy. By selling your data or providing products aiming at your interests, companies can make big money.

Can you protect your data?

Sometimes our personal data is shared online with our agreement. However, our data often travels farther than we realize, and can be used in ways that we did not expect. We don’t even notice our personal data has been lost or shared without being allowed until the news on leaking （泄露）our data is reported in newspapers or on TV.

People begin to realize the possible dangers of sharing information online. As the Internet users, it is important that we pay more attention to who collects our data, where it is stored and how it is used. As the ways in which we use the Internet continue to grow and change, we will need to stay informed and keep needing new laws and rules, and better information about how to protect ourselves.

27．What happens when you search for German courses on the Internet?

A．Your personal data is being collected.

B．An email with an advertisement is sent to you.

C．You are offered some advice on learning German.

D．You are asked to click “accept” to enter a school.

28．Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragraphs 3&4?

A．Who uses our data and why? B．When is our data lost and how?

C．Where is our data kept and how? D．What is data and how important is it?

29．What can we learn from the passage?

A．We need to attend closely to how online information is sold.

B．We’d better not use online services in order to protect our data.

C．Sharing information online always puts us in dangerous situations.

D．New laws and rules on the use of our online data are badly needed.

Human activity is changing the surface and temperature of our planet. But new research shows it is also changing the sound of oceans and seas. Scientists say these changes affect （影响）many sea animals—from very small fish to huge whales.

Sound travels very far underwater. For fish, sound is a better way to sense their environment than light. They use sounds to communicate with each other. Sounds also help some ocean animals find food and avoid their hunters. Sounds help fish and other sea animals survive（生存）.

However, increased noise from humans is making it harder for these animals to hear each other. The noise comes from shipping traffic, underwater oil and gas exploration, and other noisy human activity. For many sea animals, their efforts to communicate are being masked （被掩盖）by sounds that humans have introduced. Experts explain the term masking, which happens when one or more noises in the water block sound important to an ocean animal’s life.

The Red Sea is one of the world’s most important shipping passages. It is full of large ships traveling to Asia, Europe, and Africa. Some fish and other animals now avoid the noisiest areas. Also, the overall number of sea animals has gone down by about half since 1970. In some parts of the ocean, scientists now record fewer animals singing and calling than in the past.

Experts say that effects of noise on sea animals are not well understood. However, some studies suggest that noise may cause hearing loss. The stress from human noise might also affect the immune（免疫）system-an animal’s natural defense system. Many sea animals are showing higher levels of stress because of noise.

When people think of threats（威胁）facing the ocean, we often think of climate change, plastics, and overfishing. But noise pollution is another necessary thing we need to be monitoring. When it comes to something humans can do for the ocean, we need to think about how to make it quieter. Sound pollution may be easier to deal with than other ocean threats. You can reduce or turn off sound immediately. It’s not like plastics or climate change, which are much harder to undo.

30．According to the passage, sounds can help sea animals in many ways except ________.

A．blocking the sunshine outside B．searching for something to eat

C．getting away from their hunters D．communicating with each other

31．What can you know from the passage?

A．Noise does more harm to sea animals than humans realize.

B．Plastic pollution is the biggest threat facing oceans and seas.

C．Fish sense their environment better through light than sound.

D．The Red Sea is one of the most popular fishing areas in the world.

32．The underlined words “to undo” in Paragraph 6 probably mean “________”.

A．to involve the effort B．to promise the result C．to cancel the effects D．to forget the influences

33．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Why Are Ocean Animals So Noisy? B．Helpful Ways to Save Ocean Animals.

C．Humans Are Making Oceans Too Noisy. D．Which Threat to Oceans Is the Biggest?

Red Nose Day is a well-known event in the UK. It is on the second or third Friday in March. It raises money for people in need in Africa and the UK.

Red Nose Day is organized by Comic Relief. This organization was set up by Richard Curtis and Lenny Henry in 1985. They wanted to use comedy and laughter to bring more attention to poverty in the UK and Africa, and make sure that everybody who didn’t have money to see comedy shows could have fun at the same time. That’s why Red Nose Day was born. The British celebrated the first Red Nose Day on February 5, 1988, and they celebrate it every two years now. A third of the money raised goes to projects in the UK and two thirds to projects in Africa.

The slogan for the last Red Nose Day was “Do Something Funny for Money” and the money collected was used to help fund projects in the following areas: treating malaria, education, maternal health and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day telethon raised £74.3 million! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools join in. People also donate (捐赠) money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.

People call it Red Nose Day because on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear. Even if someone doesn’t wear it, he will go and buy one. Some people put the red noses on the front of their cars to show their support. The money made from selling plastic red noses goes to Comic Relief.

So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may see normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It’s all for a good reason.
