Growing up in Mauritius, I love nature. Behind my house, there is a mountain named Le Pouce, where I spent much time 16 the forest as a kid. However, my instinct (天性)for exploration 17 at the water's edge. Even though Mauritius is an island country 18 by the Indian Ocean, the thought of entering the ocean made me scared.

When I was about 10, this started to 19 . I began learning about the 20 climate change presented to island countries, and I started 21 an interest in protecting the environment. I watched nature documentaries, 22 the steps I could take to change the world, 23 I still didn't know how to effectively achieve it. Later, I took the National Geographic Society’s Exploring Conservation courses, which set me on a path to helping start and 24              , The Oceanic Project, an organization dedicated to helping people understand the ocean and enhancing people's _25 of protecting the ocean.

Gradually, I realized how much humans 26 the ocean for its natural resources and that it was not as 27 as I had imagined. My fear was rooted in a(n) 28 of falling into a river in my childhood. Determined to 29 it, I became a certified diver last year.

Diving plays a big part in my life now, and I work to 30 the protection of the underwater environment. I helped run a summer camp for young divers. During that time, I led a beach cleanup to help the participants understand how human litter could end up in the ocean. I got encouraged by the 31 of the activity when a parent told me her son insisted on 32 plastic items in their home with bamboo alternatives after returning home.

Protecting the ocean is very 33 and I’ll keep dedicating myself to it. And I 34 hope more people will join me. Only with everyone's effort can we make the world a(n) 35 place for human beings.

B

As a child, I never considered myself an athlete at all as I was very uncoordinated （不协调 的 ）. However, I did love to run because I felt as if I was flying but this all changed two years ago when I suffered a knee injury. I was bedridden for two weeks and I had a difficult time moving even short distances. I literally cried myself on my way to the car for a few days.

When therapy wasn’t working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a godsend because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly, yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit.

Since each class was heated to 105°F, every time I stepped foot in the yoga studio, I’d feel a surge （ 涌 起 ） of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times. However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn’t get swayed away by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer.

After 3-4 months of practicing hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I’d taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better.

As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative limiting terms.

Also, practicing yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practicing with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn’t. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I’m part of a bigger picture in life!

Like many people, in terms of socializing, I prioritize making time for my closest friends and family. When it comes to reaching out to people I don’t know as well I often find myself reluctant to engage. This could be a big mistake, though, according to a new study. Having different types of social interactions seems to be central to our happiness --- something many of us may think little of.

In a series of surveys, researchers looked at how having a socially diverse network related to people’s well-being. In one survey, 578 Americans reported on what activities they had been engaged in, with whom and for how long over the past 24 hours, while also saying how happy with life they were. The researchers found that people with more diverse social networks were happier and more satisfied with life than those with less diverse networks --- regardless of how much time they had spent socializing overall.

“The more you can broaden your social circle and reach out to people you talk to less frequently --- like an acquaintance, a friend, a coworker, or even a stranger --- the more it could have positive benefits for your well-being,” said the lead researcher Hanne Collins of Harvard Business School.

To further test this idea, she and her colleagues looked at large data sets from the American Time Use Survey and the World Health Organization’s Study on Global Aging and Adult Health. In both cases, they found that when people had a broader range of social interactions, they experienced greater happiness and well-being.

Then Collins and her colleagues did another analysis, using data from a mobile app that 21,644 French-speaking people used to report on their daily social activities and happiness. There, they found that when someone experienced greater-than-average social diversity one week, they were happier that week and the week after.

Why is that? It could be that being with different people contributes to different kinds of emotions, which may be a driving force in our happiness, says Collins. Alternatively, it could be that having a more diverse network allows you to get various social supports when you need it. Whatever the case, Collins hopes her research will inspire people to expand their social networks when they can.

46. What does the author use as an introduction to the passage?

1. A personal communication skill.
2. A social trend against one’s will.
3. A common social phenomenon.
4. A culture many people neglect.

47. What do we know about the study?

1. Its results were different from culture to culture.
2. Different results were obtained from the researchers’ three surveys.
3. The researchers collected large amounts of data from different platforms.
4. It focused on the impact of a more diverse social network on life satisfaction.

48.    What can we learn from the 3rd and 4th paragraph?

1.    Any stranger or co-worker can bring you happiness.
2.    Broad social circle contributes to more happiness.
3.   Happiness depends only on social interactions.
4.   Close relationship influences happiness badly.

49.    How may social diversity improve one’s well-being according to Collins?

1.   By providing motivation for life.
2.    By leading to one’s balanced life.
3.   By arousing one’s positive emotions.
4.   By making him / her sensitive to happiness.

50.   What will be most probably talked about after the last paragraph?

1.   Collins’s social life.
2.    Collins’s conclusions.
3.   Collins’s new research.
4.   Collins’s specific suggestions.

Some people say that the planet is getting smaller, that there are few places left to explore, and that the age of exploration will be over soon.

I would argue instead that there has never been a greater need to explore. That’s because the stage for all exploration is the natural world, and nature is experiencing a rapid decline. It is by exploring that we understand and when we understand we develop an appreciation for what is found. Ultimately, only the things we appreciate are worth protecting.

As the golden age of exploration weakens, so does the richness of life on Earth. It isn’t just that there are fewer blank areas on the map; it is that wild places and spaces have been progressively carved up （瓜分）. Visiting the Okavango Delta or Kalahari Desert, for example, no longer implies a self-supported expedition （考察）.Field stations pop up in important national parks and remote sensing by satellite becomes commonplace.

In the next century, I believe we will need larger and wilder areas. We will need the wilderness, not just for the protection of it, but because it is an important part of the ecosystems from which we gain our necessities like clean water, food and materials. If we succeed, then expeditions --- brief travels into the wild that seek to answer questions, monitor populations, and inspire action --- will have a renewed sense of purpose. More importantly, they greatly help the public experience, understand and appreciate nature.

Based on my own research expedition which aims to understand “edge effects”--- how the changes in temperature at forest edges impact animals, I find it important that today’s scientists continue to spend time in the field. It is here that they begin to understand how seemingly unrelated environmental interactions influence their study system. Sometimes, it’s difficult to know which is important to measure until you stand out there on the forest edge.

It is the young generation that is the main force to lead the next wave of expeditions. The measure of their success will be whether there are still well-preserved wild places for expeditions in the future. Their leadership is needed now, more than ever.

51.    What’s the purpose of this text?

1.    To suggest understanding nature by keeping exploring.
2.    To advise people not to travel to unknown places.
3.    To inform us about the reduced biodiversity.
4.    To call on the public to support the study.

52.    What can we know about the expedition in wild spaces from Paragraph 3?

1.    It is difficult for explorers to make progress.
2.    It is more accessible with the help of technology.
3.    It promotes the development of satellite technology.
4.    It requires explorers to take sufficient heavy equipment.

53.    What does the underlined part “pop up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

1.    Appear unexpectedly.
2.    Close temporarily.
3.    Develop quickly.
4.    Differ greatly.

54.    What does the author realize after his research expedition?

1.    The significance of scientists’ field trip.
2.    The difficulty of carrying out fieldwork.
3.    The need to expand the edges of forests.
4.    The influence of his study on the environment.

55.    The success of future expeditions will be determined by.

1.    our knowledge of nature
2.    the time spent in the field
3.    the preservation of wild places
4.    the study system of young generations

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Learning outside of a classroom may still be a new thing for many people but not for Kamer “Meli” Veseli, who’s completing his final year of high school that way. His family moved from Kosovo to Switzerland, so he’s doing his coursework remotely and will take a big test with all of his teachers at the end of the year. It’s the ideal arrangement for Meli since it allows him to manage his own schedule and pursue other interests in his free time. That’s where Spark and online learning come in.

Meli has always been a serious gamer, but he’s not just looking to have fun. He likes examining the technology behind his favorite games and is curious to understand how developers create the graphics, textures, and special effects. He really wanted to make his own games and actually did develop a couple on Android but wasn’t satisfied with the results. Searching for online courses that could take his game to the next level, he found Spark, and it was “one of the happiest days of my life.”

But gaming isn’t the extent of Meli’s interests. He’s also a hopeful singer who’d always lacked the confidence to sing in public. Then he took courses on Spark and discovered exercises that could help him loosen and relax his throat and release his voice “10 times better in 10 minutes.” Now he plans for Switzerland’s version of the TV show “The Voice” in 2016! With Spark courses, Meli's also brushing up on his drawing skills, which he picked up in his childhood. He finally created a perfect portrait of his older brother.

Wherever Meli’s dreams take him, he knows he’ll be able to find relevant courses on Spark: “The variety is unlimited — so many languages, all kinds of software, even things like meditation and cultural lessons. Whatever you want to learn, you’ll find it on Spark.” 56. According to the first paragraph, how does Spark influence Meli’s life? (no more than 10 words)

57.    When did Meli find Spark? (no more than 15 words)
58.    What does the underlined phrase mean in paragraph 3?(no more than 1 word)
59.    What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? (no more than 15 words)
60.    What do you think of online learning? Give your reason. (no more than 20 words)
