I dn’t think I can recall a time when I wasn’t aware f the beauty f the cean. Grwing up in Australia, I had the gd frtune t have the sea at my side. The first time I went t Half Mn Bay, I suddenly had the feeling f nt being able t feel the grund with my feet anymre.
Fr my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken ut t the Great Barrier Reef. There were fish in different clrs, caves and layers f cral. They made such an impressin n me. When I learned that nly ne percent f Australia’s Cral Sea was prtected, I was shcked. Australian marine life is particularly imprtant because the reefs have mre marine species than thse f any ther cuntry n earth. But sadly, nly 45% f the wrld’s reefs are cnsidered healthy.
This statistic is depressing, s it’s imprtant fr us t d everything t prtect them. The hpe that the Cral Sea remains a cmplete ecsystem has led me t take actin. I’ve becme invlved with the Prtect Our Cral Sea activity, which aims t create the largest marine park in the wrld. It wuld serve as a place where the cean’s species will all have a safe place frever.
Tgether, Angus and I created a little vide and we hpe it will mtivate peple t be a part f the mvement. Angus als shared many beautiful childhd memries f the cean as a yung by, wh grew up sailing, admiring the beauty f the cean, and trying t find the secrets f underwater marine species.

Last Tuesday, a rbtic ship called the Mayflwer Autnmus Ship (MAS) set sail frm Plymuth, England. The 15-meter ship will recreate the 1620 crssing f the Atlantic by the riginal Mayflwer, which brught the first Eurpean settlers t what is nw Plymuth, Massachusetts. But unlike the riginal Mayflwer, there are n peple n bard. Everything abut the ship is designed t run autmatically. The ship is guided by an artificial intelligence (AI) system called “AI Captain”.
The MAS is a prject run by a grup called Pr Mare alng with IBM, aiming t test different kinds f technlgies fr cllecting infrmatin abut the sea. The new Mayflwer’s electric mtr is pwered by slar energy. The builders f the ship say they hpe it can be used in the future t travel and research parts f ceans that are t difficult r dangerus fr peple t reach. If these can be handled by machines, it culd be a big advance in cean research.
Since the MAS didn’t have t carry humans, its designers were free t think abut hw t make the best ship fr the jb. Apart frm cameras and radar t help the ship guide itself, the ship is carrying different kinds f tls and sensrs. It has special listening devices which can detect whales and dlphins and even a special “tngue” that can reprt back n the chemicals in the seawater.
Last Friday mrning, scientists tracking the ship nticed that it was ging abut half as fast as it shuld have been ging. The AI Captain was wrking well, but there seemed t be smething slwing the mtr dwn. Since the ship had nly cvered 10% f the way acrss the Atlantic, the team decided t bring it back t Plymuth s that they culd fix the prblem and send it ut again.
When the MAS finally des put ut t sea again, it is expected t take abut three weeks t crss the Atlantic Ocean. The fastest speed fr the MAS is abut 10 miles per hur. That may seem slw, but it’s abut 5 times faster than the riginal Mayflwer, which tk 66 days t make the jurney.
8. What might be the ultimate missin f the MAS prject?
A. Develping new AI captain systems.B. Testing the new rbtic ship f IBM.
C. Explring the cean with high technlgies.D. Travelling acrss the Atlantic n the Mayflwer.
9 What aspect f MAS des the third paragraph tell us?
A. Its perating system.B. Its wrking principle.
C. Its functinal equipment.D. Its design philsphy.
10. What caused the MAS t turn back during its vyage?
A. The AI Captain sent wrng instructins.B. The electric mtr gt affected by smething.
C. The scientists wanted t change the ship’s rute.D. The ship needed t be serviced n a regular basis.
11 What culd be the best title fr the text?
A. A Rbtic Ship’s Glbal VyageB. New Mayflwer Crssing The Atlantic
C. New Mayflwer’s Failed MissinD. AI Captain System Guiding A Rbtic Ship
D
With ffice develpers cmpeting fr space and height—just t make a statement, the age f the icnic ffice building is upn us. Let’s start by explring what “icnic” actually means.
Ggle the wrd “icnic” and the definitins include smething that is “famus”, “ppular” r representative f “particular pinins r a particular time”. The term can als be applied t smething that is representative f smething else—fr instance, the Eiffel Twer is a symbl f Paris.
In architecture, an icnic design is usually a design that is “grund breaking” and ne that sets new standards in its field. It is a design that ther designers and manufacturers fllw, as it becmes a bench mark fr ther similar prducts. Furthermre, an icnic design is ne that stands up t the test f time, remaining a gd design, despite the passing f years, decades and even centuries.
Lrd Nrman Fster has certainly had a say in the rise f these distinctive structures ver the past 15 years. His architectural firm Fster & Partners designed the Gherkin (30 St Mary Axe), whse cmpletin in 2001 sparked the birth f Lndn’s new skyline, taking ver the previus ne—Britannic Twer. Lrd Fster als led the redesign f Wembley Stadium and the Millennium Bridge—glbally recgnized structures in their wn right.
Unusually shaped structures have been arund since the Pyramids, but befre cmputers, architectural designs were hand drawn and, cnsequently, landmark buildings were much mre cnventinal in their nature. Since then, digital technlgy has mved frward at such a rate that it has pushed us int a new era f architectural innvatin.
Whatever yur views n these high-rise develpments, they have turned the Lndn skyline int an exciting, ever-changing landscape and, in the prcess, redefined the cncept f an icnic building. But we will still be talking abut them a century frm nw—as we d the Empire State Building — r will anther new wave f ffice blcks simply take their place?
12. What is the feature f an icnic architecture?
A. It is always changing.B. It needs cnstant testing.
C. It has pineering and distinctive designs.D. It fllws the standards that were set earlier.
13. What prmted the develpment f architectural innvatin?
A. Digital technlgy.B. Architectural thery.
C. Curisity abut pyramids.D. Accidental mves by talented designers.
14. What des the underlined wrd “sparked” in paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Gt rid f.B. Brught abut.C. Gave way t.D. Cnflicted with.
15. What’s the authr’s attitude twards the icnic ffice buildings in Lndn?
A. Psitive.B. Negative.C. Cncerned.D. Pessimistic.

Last Tuesday, a rbtic ship called the Mayflwer Autnmus Ship (MAS) set sail frm Plymuth, England. The 15-meter ship will recreate the 1620 crssing f the Atlantic by the riginal Mayflwer, which brught the first Eurpean settlers t what is nw Plymuth, Massachusetts. But unlike the riginal Mayflwer, there are n peple n bard. Everything abut the ship is designed t run autmatically. The ship is guided by an artificial intelligence (AI) system called “AI Captain”.
The MAS is a prject run by a grup called Pr Mare alng with IBM, aiming t test different kinds f technlgies fr cllecting infrmatin abut the sea. The new Mayflwer’s electric mtr is pwered by slar energy. The builders f the ship say they hpe it can be used in the future t travel and research parts f ceans that are t difficult r dangerus fr peple t reach. If these can be handled by machines, it culd be a big advance in cean research.
Since the MAS didn’t have t carry humans, its designers were free t think abut hw t make the best ship fr the jb. Apart frm cameras and radar t help the ship guide itself, the ship is carrying different kinds f tls and sensrs. It has special listening devices which can detect whales and dlphins and even a special “tngue” that can reprt back n the chemicals in the seawater.
Last Friday mrning, scientists tracking the ship nticed that it was ging abut half as fast as it shuld have been ging.

Since the ship had nly cvered 10% f the way acrss the Atlantic, the team decided t bring it back t Plymuth s that they culd fix the prblem and send it ut again.
When the MAS finally des put ut t sea again, it is expected t take abut three weeks t crss the Atlantic Ocean. The fastest speed fr the MAS is abut 10 miles per hur. That may seem slw, but it’s abut 5 times faster than the riginal Mayflwer, which tk 66 days t make the jurney.
8. What might be the ultimate missin f the MAS prject?
A. Develping new AI captain systems.B. Testing the new rbtic ship f IBM.
C. Explring the cean with high technlgies.D. Travelling acrss the Atlantic n the Mayflwer.
9. What aspect f MAS des the third paragraph tell us?
A. Its perating system.B. Its wrking principle.
C. Its functinal equipment.D. Its design philsphy.
10. What caused the MAS t turn back during its vyage?

With ffice develpers cmpeting fr space and height—just t make a statement, the age f the icnic ffice building is upn us. Let’s start by explring what “icnic” actually means.
Ggle the wrd “icnic” and the definitins include smething that is “famus”, “ppular” r representative f “particular pinins r a particular time”. The term can als be applied t smething that is representative f smething else—fr instance, the Eiffel Twer is a symbl f Paris.
In architecture, an icnic design is usually a design that is “grund breaking” and ne that sets new standards in its field. It is a design that ther designers and manufacturers fllw, as it becmes a bench mark fr ther similar prducts. Furthermre, an icnic design is ne that stands up t the test f time, remaining a gd design, despite the passing f years, decades and even centuries.
Lrd Nrman Fster has certainly had a say in the rise f these distinctive structures ver the past 15 years. His architectural firm Fster & Partners designed the Gherkin (30 St Mary Axe), whse cmpletin in 2001 sparked the birth f Lndn’s new skyline, taking ver the previus ne—Britannic Twer. Lrd Fster als led the redesign f Wembley Stadium and the Millennium Bridge—glbally recgnized structures in their wn right.
Unusually shaped structures have been arund since the Pyramids, but befre cmputers, architectural designs were hand drawn and, cnsequently, landmark buildings were much mre cnventinal in their nature. Since then, digital technlgy has mved frward at such a rate that it has pushed us int a new era f architectural innvatin.
Whatever yur views n these high-rise develpments, they have turned the Lndn skyline int an exciting, ever-changing landscape and, in the prcess, redefined the cncept f an icnic building. But we will still be talking abut them a century frm nw—as we d the Empire State Building — r will anther new wave f ffice blcks simply take their place?
12. What is the feature f an icnic architecture?
A. It is always changing.B. It needs cnstant testing.
C. It has pineering and distinctive designs.D. It fllws the standards that were set earlier.
13. What prmted the develpment f architectural innvatin?
A. Digital technlgy.B. Architectural thery.
C. Curisity abut pyramids.D. Accidental mves by talented designers.
14. What des the underlined wrd “sparked” in paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Gt rid f.B. Brught abut.C. Gave way t.D. Cnflicted with.
15. What’s the authr’s attitude twards the icnic ffice buildings in Lndn?
A. Psitive.B. Negative.C. Cncerned.D. Pessimistic.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A

【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“His architectural firm Fster & Partners designed the Gherkin (30 St Mary Axe), whse cmpletin in 2001”（他的建筑公司 Fster & Partners 设计了小黄瓜大楼（30 St Mary Axe），于 2001 年竣工）以及后文“the birth f Lndn’s new skyline, taking ver the previus ne—Britannic Twer”（伦敦新天际线的诞生，取代了之前的天际线——不列颠尼克塔）可知，他的建筑公司Fster & Partners设计了St Mary Axe 30号，这取代了之前的不列颠尼克塔，使得伦敦新天际线诞生了，由此可推知划线词意思是“引起”，与B项“Brught abut.(引起)”意思一样。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Whatever yur views n these high-rise develpments, they have turned the Lndn skyline int an exciting, ever-changing landscape and, in the prcess, redefined the cncept f an icnic building.(无论你对这些高层建筑的看法如何，它们已经把伦敦的天际线变成了一个令人兴奋的、不断变化的景观，并在这个过程中重新定义了标志性建筑的概念)”可推知，作者对伦敦标志性的办公大楼持积极态度。故选A。

Suddenly, a lud splash (落水声) came frm the backyard. “Mr. Baker’s dg, Max, must be taking a quick swim again.” Stephen rlled his eyes upward. Martine fllwed Stephen as he went t the pl and stpped, truly shcked. In the water was a rund and hairy ball that lked like a wet bear.” A kala bear!” Martine sunded happy as the animal splashed water ver his ears. “In fact, yu knw, he isn’t a bear.” Stephen tld her. “He’s a marsupial (有袋动物), like a kangar.”
Martine and Stephen sat n the edge f the pl and watched. The kala swam, and then flated n his back until he headed fr the ppsite side f the pl acrss frm Stephen and Martine. The kala tried t pull himself ut, but the pl wall was t slippy.
“He can’t get ut,” Martine said. “We’ve gt t help him.” Stephen kicked ff his shes and stepped quietly int the pl. By the time Stephen reached the frightened animal, the kala was mving t the metal ladder (梯子). Stephen put his arms under the kala and gave him a push. Martine lifted the animal nt the slid grund. The kala shk himself befre climbing acrss the grass and up the nearest tree.
“We’ve never seen a kala in the pl befre,” Stephen said, “but kalas lve t swim. My teacher said that backyard pls are ften the places where kalas have accidents in Australia.” “What if he falls in when n ne is at hme?” Martine asked. “All the kala needs is smething rugh t hang n t,” Stephen replied, “s that he can pull himself right ut.” After hearing what happened, Stephen’s mm said, “There is sme leftver carpeting in the huse. Yu can use that.”

【答案】Stephen and Martine fund the carpet in a crner and carried it t the pl. Then they fund sme rpe in the garage and tied ne end f the rpe t the carpet. After tying the ther end f the rpe t tw plside grab bars, they cut the carpet s that it extended int the pl, making sure it lay against the pl wall. “I hpe it wrks,” said Stephen. Stephen and Martine waited and waited, but the kala was nwhere t be seen, and the “pl wall kala aid” was almst frgtten, which left Martine a bit disappinted.
Finally, there came the familiar splash several weeks later. Stephen and Martine lked at each ther with the same thught. It culd be Mr. Baker’s dg r... Martine rushed utside with Stephen. The water shne n the kala’s furry head. He swam arund fr a while, and then swam tward the carpet. Grabbing it with his frnt feet, he slwly pulled himself up and ut f the water. With fur feet planted firmly n the grund, he shk himself and ran ff. Martine laughed. “I’ll always remember my trip t Australia and the swimming kala.” she said.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Stephen邀请表妹Martine一起游泳，但Martine说她不习惯在12月份游泳。突然，他们听到后院有落水声，Stephen猜测是Baker先生的狗又在游泳了，但当他们走近时，才发现是一只考拉。这只考拉在泳池里游了一会儿后想出去，但泳池壁太滑了，它出不去。最后，在Stephen和Martine的帮助下，考拉成功地从泳池中出来了。Stephen告诉Martine，他的老师曾说，在澳大利亚，后院游泳池是考拉经常发生意外的地方。Martine询问如果考拉掉入泳池时无人在家该怎么办呢？Stephen回答说，需要有一些粗糙的东西，这样它们就能抓住并能自己从泳池里出来。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Stephen和Martine在一个角落里找到了地毯，并把它带到了泳池边。”可知，第一段可描写Stephen和Martine合力为考拉准备能帮助它们爬出泳池的东西以及他们的期待考拉再次出现等展开。
②由第二段首句内容“几周后，终于出现了熟悉的落水声。”可知，第二段可描写考拉回来了，它在泳池中游泳，并借助Stephen和Martine用地毯为它做的东西成功地从泳池出来的内容，以及Stephen和Martine看到他们的努力得到回报后的感受。
2.续写线索：准备爬出泳池的东西—期待考拉出现—失落—考拉出现—考拉借助准备的东西上岸—努力得到回报的开心
