一、阅读理解
ISSI Advanced Adventurer Course
●2 sessions of 8h
●The AAC starts on every Wednesday and Saturday, lasting 2 days
●Fees: $450
Exploration, Excitement, Experiences
That’s what the Advanced Adventurer course is all about. You don’t have to be “advanced” to take it — it’s designed to advance your diving, so you can start right after earning your Open Water Diver certification. The course helps build confidence and expand your scuba skills through different Adventure Dives.
Who should take this course?
Open Water Divers who are at least 12 years old are ready to step up and sign up for an Advanced Adventurer course. Divers under 18 may only participate in certain Adventures Dives — check with your SSI Instructor.
What will you learn?
You’ll plan your learning path with your instructor by choosing from a long list of Adventure Dives. There are two required dives — Deep and Underwater Navigation — and you choose the other three. During the Deep Adventure Dive, you learn bow to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving. The Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive helps improve your navigation skills. The other knowledge and skills you get vary with your interest and the adventures you have — photography, fish identification, exploring wrecks and many more.
What scuba equipment will you use?
Beyond basic scuba equipment, you’ll need a compass and a dive knife. You may also use specialized equipment depending on the Adventure Dives you choose. Your SSI Instructor will explain the equipment that you need and ma suggest additional equipment.
1．On which of the following dates can you take the course?
A．From Friday to Saturday. B．From Saturday to Sunday.
C．From Tuesday to Wednesday. D．From Wednesday to Saturday.
2．Which of the following is a must to take the SSI Advanced Adventurer Course?
A．Open Water Diver certification. B．Expensive diving equipment
C．Advanced scuba skills. D．Reaching adulthood.
3．How many dives can you learn during the course?
A．2. B．3. C．5. D．7.

In southeastern Brazil, local fishers walk into dark waters in search of mullet (鲻鱼) On their own, it would be tricky to find the silvery fish. But the humans get help from an unusual partner: wild bottlenose dolphins.
With nets in hand, the fishers patiently wait as their cetacean (鲸类的) partners drive the fish toward the shore. A signal from the dolphins—usually a deep dive—indicates when they should cast their nets. This fishing partnership has passed down through the generations, lasting for more than a century.
While researchers knew humans profited from this pairing, they couldn't confirm whether it benefited the dolphins. Now, in a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers suggest cetaceans that hunt with humans have more chances to live than those that don't.
“Human-wildlife cooperation in general is a rare phenomenon at a global scale.” says Mauricio Cantor, a biologist at Oregon State University and leader of the study. “Usually humans gain the benefit, and nature pays the cost. But this interaction has been happening for over 150 years.”
Fishers were more successful when they worked with the dolphins. When dolphins were present, the fishers were 17 times more likely to catch prey (猎物) and netted nearly four times more mullet when they timed their casting with the cetaceans' signals. Eighty-six percent of all 4.955 mullet caught during the study period came from “synchronous (同时的) interactions”—when the allies organized their actions perfectly with one another.
The study also revealed dolphins hunting with humans had a 13 percent increase in survival rate over other dolphins. These cooperative dolphins are more likely to stay near the shore, reducing their chance of entanglement (缠绕) in illegal fishing equipment. Besides, the dolphins can take some fish directly from the fishers’ harvest.
4．What do the first two paragraphs talk about concerning Brazilian fishers?
A．They trick dolphins into fishing for them.
B．They harvest more fish with dolphins' help.
C．They have been training dolphins over a century.
D．They cast the fishing nets when dolphins surface.
5．What does Mauricio Cantor's research show?
A．Nature favors human beings at a huge cost.
B．Fishers benefit from cooperating with cetaceans.
C．Human-wildlife interaction is a new global trend.
D．Dolphins working with man have higher survival rate.
6．What does the underlined word “allies” refer to in paragraph 5?
A．Prey. B．Mullet. C．Partners. D．Researchers.
7．What's the author's main purpose in writing the text?
A．To appeal for the protection of sea creatures.
B．To show a unique human-dolphin relationship.
C．To applaud for development in fishing research.
D．To encourage fishers to better draw on dolphins.

When reading, my mother likes to slice a paragraph or a sentence out and attach it to the wall of her kitchen. She picks boring sentences that puzzle me. But I prefer copying favorite bright lines into a journal in soft, gray No. 2 pencil, word by word.
She doesn’t know any of this. There's nothing shocking: for our chatting. we seldom begin certain conversations though we talk on the phone weekly, sometimes making each other laugh so hard that I choke and she cries. But what we don't say could fill up rooms. Fights with my father. Small failures in school. Anything that really upsets us.
My mother has never told me “I love you, Lisa.”—as if the four-word absence explains who I am—so I carry it with me, like a label on me. The last time she almost spoke the words was two years ago, when she called to tell me a friend had been in hospital. I said, “I love you, Mom.” She stopped for a while and then said, “Thank you.” I haven't said it since, but I've wondered why my mother doesn't until I've found a poem that supplies words for the blank spaces I try to understand in our conversations:
Don’t fill up on bread. I say absent-mindedly. The servings here are huge.
My son, middle-aged, says: Did you really just say that to me?
What he doesn’t know is that when we’re walking together, I desire to reach for his hand.
It's humble, yet heartbreaking. After copying it down in my journal, I emailed it to mom, adding “This poem makes me think of you.” My mother doesn’t read poetry—or at least, she doesn’t tell me, and I felt nervous clicking “Send”.
She never mentioned the poem. But the next time I went home for vacation, I noticed something new in the kitchen fixed to an antique board: the poem. The board hung above the heater, the warmest spot in the kitchen. The poem still hangs there. Neither my mother nor I have ever spoken about it.
8．What's the function of paragraph 1?
A．To stress the theme. B．To establish the setting.
C．To represent the characters. D．To create the atmosphere.
9．Which of the following best describes the mother daughter relationship?
A．Shaky. B．Distant. C．Reserved. D．Intense.
10．Why did the author send the poem to her mom?
A．It reminded her of mom's love.
B．She wanted to apologize to mom.
C．It suited mom's taste of literature.
D．She needed an interpretation from mom.
11．What does the poem mean to mom?
A．A memory of golden days.
B．Daughter’s gratefulness to her.
C．A decoration in the plain kitchen.
D．Daughter's understanding of her.

Every 40 days a language dies. This “catastrophic” loss is being intensified by the climate crisis; according to linguists. If nothing is done, conservative estimates suggest that half of all the 7000 languages currently spoken will be extinct by the end of the century.
Speakers of minority languages have experienced a long history of persecution (迫害) , with the result that by the 1920s half of all indigenous (土著的) languages in Australia, the US, South Africa and Argentina were extinct. The climate crisis is now considered the “final nail in the coffin” for many indigenous languages and the knowledge they represent.
“Languages are already endangered,” says Anastasia Richl, director of the Strathy language unit at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Huge factors are globalization and migration, as communities move to regions where their language is not spoken or valued, according to Richl. “It seems particularly cruel,” she says, “that most of the world’s languages are in parts of the world that are growing unpleasant to people.” Vanuatu, a South Pacific island nation measuring 12,189km2, has 110 languages, the highest density (密度) of languages on the planet. It is also one of the countries most at risk of sea level rise, she says. “Many small language communities are on islands and coastlines easily subject to hurricanes and sea level rise.” Others live on lands where rising temperature threatens traditional farming and fishing practices, leading to migration.
In response to the crisis, the UN launched the International Decade of Indigenous Languages in 2022. Promoting and conserving languages of indigenous communities is “not only important for them, but for all humanity”, said Csaba Korosi, the UN general assembly president, urging countries to allow access to education in indigenous languages.
12．What is the writer mainly concerned about?
A．The disappearance of languages. B．The challenge of climate change.
C．The reaction to the language crisis. D．The trend of the speedy globalization.
13．Why is Vanuatu mentioned in paragraph 3?
A．To explain the main reason for language density.
B．To show the common features of endangered languages.
C．To stress the impact of geographical position on migration.
D．To illustrate the situation of minority language communities.
14．What does the International Decade of Indigenous Languages aim to do?
A．Support migrants to access local education.
B．Discourage people from massive migration.
C．Improve the living conditions of minority groups.
D．Preserve the languages of indigenous communities.
15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Faced with Disasters: Communities Have to Leave
B．Lost for Words: Rising Seas Bring Threat of Catastrophe
C．Upset at Extinction: UN Urges International Cooperation
D．Involved in Action: Experts Seek Solutions to Climate Crisis


二、七选五
Ponds (池塘) are a common sight. There are different kinds of ponds. 16 Like other kinds of ponds, they can add beauty to a garden or a landscape. The difference is that they’re powered by solar energy.
A great pond usually needs an energy source to power up a pump and lights. Without a pump, a pond may hardly receive new clean water. 17 A solar-powered pump helps maintain healthy water quality and enables the addition of fish, if desired.
No solar garden pond would be complete without solar-powered lights. They are powered by a free, renewable energy source. This allows us a green life. 18 Strategic placement of lights around a pond will result in a beautiful appearance, both during the day and at night.
19 The solar pump and lights need to get energy from the sun. Placing a pond in direct sunlight increases the growth of algae (藻) in summer. However, placing it in the shade or partial shade may not produce enough solar energy to keep pumps and lights running.
If you’ve decided to create such a pond, choose a suitable location for your pond, and consider buying proper solar accessories according to your pond’s location, size and so on. If possible, you can ask professionals for suggestions. 20
A．There are many ways to live a green life.
B．The need for inconvenient wiring can be avoided as well.
C．Nowadays,there’s a growing interest in solar garden ponds.
D．Using solar energy for such ponds is not without limitations.
E．That is why clean water is key to the survival of human beings.
F．Through your efforts,you are sure to get a beautiful and efficient one in the end.
G．The pond may become dirty and smell bad with a lot of mosquitoes flying around.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了太阳能花园池塘通过使用太阳能给池塘供电，给人们带来诸多便利和好处，但同时也有不足之处。
16．根据上文“There are different kinds of ponds.(有不同种类的池塘) ”和下文“Like other kinds of ponds, they can add beauty to a garden or a landscape. The difference is that they’re powered by solar energy. (像其他种类的池塘一样，它们可以为花园或风景增色。不同的是，它们是由太阳能驱动的)”可知，设空句中会提及一种由太阳能驱动的不同类型的池塘，C项“Nowadays,there’s a growing interest in solar garden ponds.(如今，人们对太阳能花园池塘越来越感兴趣)” 中的“solar garden ponds”即这种新型池塘，也是下文指示代词“they”指代对象。故选C项。
17．上文“Without a pump, a pond may hardly receive new clean water. (没有水泵，池塘可能很难接收新的干净的水)”提出没有水泵池塘就很难获得干净的水，结合常识，G项“The pond may become dirty and smell bad with a lot of mosquitoes flying around.(池塘可能会变得肮脏和恶臭，还有许多蚊子飞来飞去)”给出这种情况会导致的结果，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
18．上文“They are powered by a free, renewable energy source. This allows us a green life. (它们由一种免费的可再生能源提供动力。这让我们有一个绿色的生活)”提出太阳能花园池塘带给我们的好处，B项“The need for inconvenient wiring can be avoided as well. (也可以避免不方便的布线)”承接上文，继续列举太阳能池塘带给我们的另一个好处，句中“as well”表明其并列关系。故选B项。
19．设空处为本段主题句。根据段中“The solar pump and lights need to get energy from the sun. Placing a pond in direct sunlight increases the growth of algae(藻)in summer. (太阳能泵和太阳能灯需要从太阳获得能量。把池塘放在阳光直射下会增加藻类的生长)”可知，本段主要介绍太阳能花园池塘的缺陷。D项“Using solar energy for such ponds is not without limitations.(在这种池塘中使用太阳能并非没有局限性)”能很好概括段落主题。故选D项。
20．上文“If you’ve decided to create such a pond, choose a suitable location for your pond, and consider buying proper solar accessories according to your pond’s location, size and so on.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“点茶”的历史和韩喆明是如何完善“点茶”技术和传播“点茶”文化的。
41．考查冠词。句意：80岁的上海居民韩喆明设法完善了这项技能，创造了杯子里的茶艺，或中文中的点茶，这在宋朝（960年至1279年）曾经是一种惯例。分析句子可知，句中泛指一名上海居民，故空格处应用不定冠词，“80”音标的第一个音素为元音音素，故应用不定冠词“an”。故填an。
42．考查固定短语。句意：80岁的上海居民韩喆明设法完善了这项技能，创造了杯子里的茶艺，或中文中的点茶，这在宋朝（960年至1279年）曾经是一种惯例。分析句子可知，句中涉及固定短语“manage to do sth.”，意为“设法做成某事”，故空格处应填“to perfect”。故填to perfect。
43．考查时态。句意：在过去的几十年里，他用茶和勺子在古代绘画的基础上创作了近200个图案。根据句意和句中“Over the past decades”可知，句子应用现在完成时，“he”和“has”连用，“use”的过去分词为“used”，故空格处应填“has used”。故填has used。
44．考查非谓语动词。句意：在过去的几十年里，他用茶和勺子在古代绘画的基础上创作了近200个图案。分析句子可知，句中有谓语动词“has used”，故空格处应用非谓语动词，“be based on…”意为“以……为基础”，“patterns”和“base”为逻辑上的动宾关系，故空格处应用“base”的过去分词“based”，作后置定语。故填based。
45．考查代词。句意：他还打算将古老的仪式带回现代生活，让更多的人欣赏它的魅力。分析句子可知，句中“charm”为名词，应用形容词性物主代词修饰，“it”对应的形容词性物主代词为“its”。故填its。
46．考查固定短语。句意：它类似于一杯咖啡上的泡沫，只是它是由茶而不是牛奶制成的。分析句子可知，句中涉及固定短语“be similar to…”，意为“与……相似”，故空格处应填“to”。故填to。
47．考查名词。句意：中国茶文化在唐朝（618-907）开始流行，并在整个宋朝蓬勃发展，当时茶已经成为几乎所有人的必需品，从贵族、学者到普通人，就像宋朝政治家和思想家王安石所建议的大米、油和盐等其他重要物品一样。分析句子可知，“enjoy”为动词，后接名词作宾语，“popular”为形容词，对应的名词为“popularity”，为不可数名词。故填popularity。
48．考查定语从句。句意：中国茶文化在唐朝（618-907）开始流行，并在整个宋朝蓬勃发展，当时茶已经成为几乎所有人的必需品，从贵族、学者到普通人，就像宋朝政治家和思想家王安石所建议的大米、油和盐等其他重要物品一样。分析句子可知，句子为非限制性定语从句，先行词为“Song Dynasty”，关系词在从句中作时间状语，故应用关系副词“when”引导从句。故填when。
49．考查副词。句意：与唐代的泡茶方法完全不同，在宋代，流行的泡茶方式是点茶。分析句子可知，“different”为形容词，空格处应用副词，在句中作状语，“total”为形容词，对应的副词为“totally”，意为“完全”，句首单词首字母大写。故填Totally。
50．考查时态和语态。句意：将热水浇在细粉茶上的动作被称为“点”，因此得名“点茶”，于2019年被列入江苏省镇江市润州区非物质文化遗产。根据句意和句中“in 2019”可知，句子陈述的是过去发生的事，句子为“which”引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词“dian cha”和“list”为被动关系，故应用一般过去时的被动语态，“dian cha”和“was”连用，“list”的过去分词为“listed”，故空格处应填“was listed”。故填was listed。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。2023年1月8日早上，作者在公园散步时看到一个路人被一辆汽车撞倒，汽车肇事逃逸，作者拦下了一辆路过的汽车把伤者送到了医院。
【详解】1.考查介词。句意：那是2023年1月8日早上7点15分。表示具体某一天时，在morning前介词应用on。故将in改为on。
2.考查连词。句意：我正沿着公园路向东走，一个中等身材的路人从路的另一边走出公园。本句为sb. be doing sth. when...“正在做某事，正在那时……”。故将while改为when。
3.考查一般过去时。句意：就在那时，我看到一辆黄色的汽车开上了第三街，然后右转进入公园路。根据“I was walking along Park Road towards the east”可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，所以应用一般过去时。故将see改为saw。
4.考查现在分词。句意：就在那时，我看到一辆黄色的汽车开上了第三街，然后右转进入公园路。see sb doing意为“看到某人正在做某事”，此处用现在分词作宾语补足语。句子中用and连接两个并列的宾语补足语。故将made改为making。
5.考查副词。句意：不幸的是，当那个人过马路时，汽车撞了他。修饰句子应用副词unluckily表示“不幸的是”作状语。句首首字母应大写。故将Unlucky改为Unluckily。
6.考查代词。句意：不幸的是，当那个人过马路时，汽车撞了他。根据“the car hit the man”可知，此处应用人称代词he表示“他”作主语，代指the man。故将she改为he。
7.考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意：他痛苦地叫了一声，被撞倒在地。根据“the car hit the man”可知，此处是指男人被撞倒了，应用被动语态。且此处描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。主语he为第三人称单数。故在knocked前加was。
8.考查名词的数。句意：看到这，大约两分钟后，我拦下了一辆路过的汽车，然后把那个人送到了最近的医院。minute意为“分钟”，为可数名词，在two后应用复数形式。故将minute改为minutes。
9.考查最高级。句意：看到这些，大约两分钟后，我拦下了一辆过路的汽车，赶紧把那个人送到最近的医院。nearest为最高级形式，不需要most。故去掉most。
10.考查形容词。句意：当他的家人来的时候，他们感动得流下了眼泪。表示“感动”应用-ed结尾形容词moved。故填moving改为moved。
