Abdullah was born in Terengganu, a state on the eastern coast of the Malaysian Peninsular, known for its beautiful tropical islands. Growing up on the coast, he felt a close bond with the ocean. After being adopted as a child, he would escape from his strict home to the seaside to free himself.
The local adults would consider him a strange diving instructor, “who spent his days in the water and spoke to corals (珊瑚) as if they were people”. For a long time, he worked unknown to the public and at times in poverty. But it was this closeness to the sea that led him to study the marine (海洋的) environment, and later, earn a scholarship in Oceanography at the Florida Institute of Technology. With the travels across the globe that this research involved, Abdullah learned about the extensive degradation (退化) in the marine ecosystem. He was enthusiastic about the need to take action to restore the damaged and dying coral reefs.
Abdullah set up Ocean Quest Global in Malaysia in 2010, an environmental organization focusing on coral reef protection. It was buoyed by volunteers working throughout Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean. Its founder has spent most of his life on the coral reefs of Malaysia, observing their behavior and life cycles, and conducting his own research.
In less than a decade, Abdullah’s organization had expanded to several countries like Thailand, Brunei, and the Philippines. It has over 800 trainers across the world, working on 180 islands, roost of them in Thailand. Most recently, the organization has been actively working on the restoration of Maya Bay on Ko Phi Phi Leh Island, Thailand. It is also building the first subtropical coral nursery in Egypt, reports the diving industry portal, ADEX Ocean Vision.
24. Why would Abdullah go to the seaside in his childhood?
A. To connect with nature. B. To learn to dive.
C. To admire the scenery. D. To enjoy freedom.
25. What directly caused Abdullah to travel worldwide?
A. The damaged dying coral reefs. B. The related research.
C. The worsened marine ecosystem. D. The locals’ requirement.
26. What does the underlined word “buoyed” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Determined. B. Ignored. C. Supported. D. Started.
27. What can we lean, from the last paragraph?

D. Abdullah is bound to have made a large fortune.

Every morning in a city in Indonesia’s far east, sleepy teenagers can be seen walk slowly and with heavy steps through the streets on their unwilling way to school.
It is not a scene from some sci-fi movie but a controversial experiment to get the day off to a much earlier start for the sleep-deprived (缺乏睡眠的) teens. The pilot project in Kupang has twelfth-graders at 10 high schools start classes at 5:30 am.
Authorities say the project is intended to heighten children’s discipline. According to parents, though, their children are worn out by the time they get home. Schools in Indonesia generally start between 7:00 and 8:00 am. Teens in their school uniforms are now walking down dark streets or waiting for motorcycle taxis to get to school on time.
“It is extremely difficult and they now have to leave home while it’s still completely dark. I can’t accept this, for their safety is not guaranteed when it’s dark and quiet.” Rambu Ata, a mother to a 16-year-old, said, whose daughter Eureka now has to wake up at 4:00 am to get ready and ride a motorbike to school. “Now every time Eurek arrives home she is exhausted and falls asleep immediately.”
At least one scholar seems to agree.
“It has no connection with the effort to improve the quality of education,” Marsel Robot, an education expert from Nusa Cendana University. “In the long run, sleep deprivation could endanger the students’ health and cause a shift in behaviour. They will only sleep for a few hours and this is a serious risk for their health. This also will cause them stress and they will release their stress by acting out.”
A 2014 study published by the American Academy of paediatrics (儿科学) recommended that middle and high schoolers start classes at 8:30 am or later to allow enough time for sleep. The Kupang rule change was also challenged by local politicians, who demanded the government cancel what they called a baseless policy.
28. What is the purpose of the pilot project?
A. To punish students’ mistakes. B. To let students learn more knowledge.
C. To deprive students of sleep. D. To strengthen students’ self-control.
29. What does Ata think of the project?
A. Controversial. B. Unacceptable. C. Uncontrollable. D. Critical
30. What is Robot’s concern?
A. Students’ safety. B. The stress of parents.
C. Students’ health. D. The quality of education.
31. What’s the best title for the text?
A. An Unpopular Move for Teens to Start School at 5:30 am
B. Some Problems Existing Among Indonesia’s Teenagers
C. An Unsuccessful Experiment Concerning Safety
D. The Popularity of a Pilot Project in Kupang
D
Where does food waste go? In most countries around the world, it goes into landfills (垃圾填埋场). But not in South Korea. The country banned food waste in landfills nearly 20 years ago and today, it is turned into animal feed, fertilizers and fuel.
Around the globe, 1.4 billion tons of food is thrown away every year. The waste goes into landfills where it can pollute the land and water as well as releasing methane—a greenhouse gas—into the air. In fact, food waste is the third-largest source of methane in the US.
The system that is in place in South Korea keeps almost 100 percent of unused food out of landfills. While other cities and local governments have put similar plans in place, it is not done anywhere else on a country-wide basis.
There are two reasons why South Korea passed laws to carry out mandatory (强制性的) recycling of food waste. First, the country’s cooking tradition of numerous small dishes resulted in large amounts of uneaten food. This food waste went into landfills. But the country’s mountainous geography didn’t allow for enough landfills to be built. That’s why the government forced recycling of paper and plastic in 1995 but food waste continued to be buried in landfills. But it was the neighbors of these landfills that demanded that another solution be found due to the very unpleasant smell from rotting food. The government banned organic waste from landfills in 2005. Another law that was passed in 2013 banned dumping liquid food waste in the ocean.
The system is not free but most of the cost is absorbed by the country. People can buy yellow recycling bags that are picked up on the roadside and some local governments have placed autonomous food waste collectors that require residents to pay a weight-based fee by using cards.
The food waste is collected from the bins every day except Sunday. Some of it is used to make animal feed or fertilizers and some is used to make fuel.
32. What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph 2?
A. The US is worried about landfills. B. Landfills are the most common.
C. Greenhouse gas is hard to avoid. D. Food waste can cause much harm.
33. What does the author want to say in paragraph 3?
A. Other governments don’t plan to recycle food waste.
B. 100 percent of food waste goes into landfills worldwide.
C. South Korea is successful in dealing with the unused food.
D. South Korea should follow others’ way of building the system.
34. What probably led to the ban in 2005?
A. Some people’s appeal. B. Insufficient landfill sites.
C. Unhealthy traditional diets. D. Large amounts of food waste.
35. How can people respond to the ban on waste from landfills?
A. By avoiding using cards. B. By purchasing recycling bags.
C. By paying the cost of collectors. D. By picking up waste on the roadside.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are experts that say the best years come in the second half of life. Although there are no guarantees, there are simple things you can do today to help you benefit from the blessings that arrive with gray hair and reading glasses.
●Reduce stress. 36 .Too much or long-term stress, however, can have a negative effect on your health. While no one has a stress-free life, there are steps you can take to manage your response to stress, from scheduling regular time for meditation (冥想) and prayer to stepping outside to enjoy nature when you need a break.
●Eat better. You don’t have to adopt some crazy diet or give up all sweets. 37 . You can also eat more whole foods. A whole food is an ingredient (原料) in its natural state, one that comes in its own wrapper. While it’s even better to eat cuisine that is organic, locally grown or pesticide-free, start by shopping for groceries that require no packaging.
● 38 . When you feel good, it’s attractive to avoid going to the doctor. No matter how you feel, though, it’s a good idea to visit your doctor for an annual check-up. 39 . Depending on your age and family history, the doctor may recommend certain tests or screenings. Your doctor may also do blood tests to check your cholesterol or screen for hormonal imbalances. Each of these tests can help identify any potential problems.
●Keep moving. Exercise lowers blood pressure, controls our weight, strengthens our bones and muscles, reduces our risk for cancers, and improves our mood. Some research also says it has the power to keep us young. Physical activity can improve flexibility, strength, and balance. You don’t have to take up running marathons. 40 .
A. Check with your doctor
B. Everyone experiences stress
C. Just work more movement into your day

It was a jam-packed day for 24-year-old Justin. While his hot dog stand at the local park in his hometown did well every day, that day was different. The stall was full of customers, and he was struggling to keep up.
“3 hot dogs, please!” someone ordered as Justin handed the recent orders, and he quickly got about his work.
“Coming right up!” he replied with a smile.
“Thank you! Have a nice day!” the customer replied upon receiving the orders, and Justin quickly got busy with the next one. Then he noticed an old woman pushing her way through the crowd to get to his counter (柜台).
“Excuse me, son. How much would a hot dog be?” she asked, looking at him.
“Depends on what you want, ma’ am. They range from $3 to $7. You can check out the menu and let me know what you want,” he replied.
“But that’s expensive for me,” she mumbled (咕哝), looking at the prices. “It’s alright. I was just curious how much they cost. I don’t want any,” she added before walking away.
Justin noticed she went away and sat alone on a bench across from his stand. She kept looking in his direction, meanwhile touching her stomach occasionally. Justin couldn’t help watching her because of strong curiosity. She was fully dressed with an information card worn around her neck. She might get lost because of something unexpected. Her face wasn’t as rosy as others and her lips were dry. Justin wondered whether she would need any help. However, once they made eye contact, she always looked away quickly.
Eventually, Justin realized she wanted a hot dog but couldn’t afford one, so he stopped what he was doing and walked over to her with food and drink. “I apologize, ma’am. I was in such a rush that I forgot to tell you you’re our 50th customer of the day, so you get a free hot dog,” he said upon approaching her. “Let me know how you like it!”
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；

(Text 4)
M: Students get too much homework now. Sometimes they have to spend all weekend doing it.

(Text 5)
M: Sally! Where have you been? We were supposed to meet hours ago.
W: Sorry, Mark. Somebody from work had an accident and had to go to hospital. I offered to pick her son up from school.
(Text 6)
M: Cathy, why do you stay at home alone? Is there any plan for today?
W: Well, I wanted to go to the mountains or the forest, but I’m afraid it may rain.
M: Are you kidding，Cathy? The sun is shining, and there is no cloud in the sky. Come on! What’s the real reason?
W: Hmmm... I’ve got no one to go with.
M: Come on, Cathy. Well, I’m going to the river. Do you want to come with me?
W: Oh, great! Thanks!
(Text 7)
W: Hi, Joe, how was your trip?
M: Great! My brother and I went to a lakeside house with my family.
W: How did you get there?
M: My dad volunteered to drive us—fine by me as I love long car journeys, but he found it tiring. Anyway, I’d been wondering how so many of us would fit into the house with a lot of luggage. I need my own quiet place sometimes so that I can think and read.
W: Oh, terrible.
M: But it wasn’t a problem in the end as we had comfortable bedrooms to spare. The only real problem was how far we were from the local shop. Getting there turned out to be the job of my brother and me—on bicycles!
(Text 8)
W: Dear, have you bought the drinks for the children?
M: I’m going to the post office later. I’ll go to the supermarket on the way home and get some. I don’t think we need anything else, do we?

W: Good! If you could get started with the housework now, I’ll get started with the cooking. I don’t want to leave everything until the last minute.
M: Well, there isn’t much to do, actually. I cleaned and tidied the living room this morning, oh, and remember you’ll have to collect my mom from the train station tomorrow. My car’s in the garage.
W: Don’t worry. I haven’t forgotten.
(Text 9)
M: So, tomorrow’s the big day. I’m feeling excited.
W: But I’ve never liked standing up in front of the class.
M: We’ll be fine. We’ve read some books about the subject, and we’ve practiced... lots of times.
W: Do you think we’ve got enough things to talk about? I mean, Miss Harris said she didn’t want us to speak for more than 15 minutes but now... I’m not sure we can talk for that long.
M: Well, we worked hard and we’ve got plenty of material. And I’ve managed to find some photographs we can use for the presentation. I’ll put them up on the wall before the class starts.
W: There’s another thing. We need to allow time at the end in case people want to ask us anything, don’t we? Do you think we’ll be able to answer them?
M: If there are any difficult questions, we can tell people we’ll find out after the lesson.
W: Look, why don’t we meet again this evening? Just to make sure we get everything perfect.
M: Um，yeah, it would be a good idea. The problem is I’m going out with some friends this evening. We can practice tomorrow morning if you want.
W: That’s OK.
(Text 10)
W: Hello, Susan. This is a recorded message from Jane. Just a message to remind you that we really need to hold a party for Julia as soon as possible. Her birthday is on June 10, but she is not working that day so I thought we could have it on her first day back, June 11. This might be a good day to have it as everyone in the department can finish working at 5:00 pm that day. So there should be plenty of time for them to get to the restaurant for a 6:30 start. What do you think? The restaurant we booked is Red Rose Restaurant, which is next to the post office on the Hauxton High Street. I’ve already spoken to the manager about it all. He says it’s fine, but just needs to get the numbers by Friday so he can organize the food. I think we should book for around 12—15 people. Is that OK? Oh, by the way, we are allowed to decorate the room we booked for the party, but there is only one hour available, because the restaurant opens at 5:30 in the afternoon. So I think we can buy some balloons and get there before the party begins to decorate it. After listening to the message, please call me back and let me know what you think.

Hearing their thanks and the explanation, Justin felt a sense of pride and fulfillment. He realized that small acts of kindness can have a huge effect, spreading positivity and making a difference in people’s lives.
