I love the sea. I live in Montreal, Canada, far away from the sea. It makes it even more a dream land for me and I try to visit  1  once a year. I've been doing it for the last 20 years. 

When I was  2 , I would pick up shells (贝壳) and rocks and bring them back home. So I had tons of them in my room. But as I visited the sea more and more, I started picking up the  3  left by people instead of picking up sea treasure.

I made such a change after I  4  myself about my old habit. It helped me  5  that a shell you find in the sea has a wonderful colour that makes you pick it up. But then, when it dries, you don't find it as lovely as before,  6  why pick it up in the first place? Anyway, I just realised then, that natural things, are  7  in their natural surroundings (环境) and if everybody picked every shell from the sea, and left the litter out there, the beach would become something not so nice very shortly.

So I  8  that day, I was probably 28 or 29, that I would just “borrow” things from the sea, and bring them back after a while, since the beauty of  9  does so much good for me.

I  10  the quantity (数量) and keep it to a minimum (最少量). So if you've seen a strange person picking up litter and throwing shells back into the sea, from a box or a bag, it was probably me.

(    )1. A. at last   B. by mistake     C. at least  D. by accident

(    )2. A. younger   B. stronger           C. taller   D. cleverer

(    )3. A. gifts    B. litter      C. food    D. products

(    )4. A. explained      B. helped      C. questioned    D. prepared

(    )5. A. realise   B. expect       C. imagine    D. wonder

(    )6. A. or    B. so         C. but    D. if

(    )7. A. nice    B. ugly       C. quiet    D. harmful

(    )8. A. had a try   B. took a message   C. got a surprise  D. made a decision

(    )9. A. sand    B. sea         C. shells    D. rocks 

(    )10. A. influence   B. increase             C. describe   D. control

Camila lived in Belize City, Belize, a country in Central America. One day, her father said to her, “I'm going to Glover's Reef this weekend. Would you like to join me?”

“Of course!” Camila replied excitedly.

While they were flying to the town of Dangriga, Camila's father explained that Glover's Reef was one of the largest coral reef systems (珊瑚礁系统) in the world. Hundreds of fish and coral species (物种) lived in these reefs. However, many coral reefs were dying from pollution. 

After they arrived at the park where Glover's Reef was, Camila and her father put on their goggles (游泳镜) and entered the blue waters. The beauty of the underwater world astonished Camila. She had never seen so many fish swim around her. She also watched the colourful coral. Camila saw how the plants and animals of the reef lived together perfectly. She took many pictures with her father's underwater camera. It was the most exciting experience of her life.

As they left the water, Camila and her father heard a loud noise. Then they saw a large boat filled with tourists racing towards the reef area.

“They'll make the fish afraid!” shouted Camila.

“There's nothing we can do,” said her father. “They're just outside of the park.”

Hearing that, Camila was angry.

Back in Belize City, Camila spoke to her class about coral reefs. At home, Camila created a petition (请愿书) online. It read: Governments of the world, please help the sea's coral reefs. Keep our coral reefs safe and healthy for everyone.

In three weeks, 20,000 people in 38 countries wrote their names on Camila's petition. Within one year, three countries passed laws (法律) to protect their coral reefs.

“You have made a difference, Camila,” said her father. “Thank you! The coral reefs of the world thank you too.”

(    )6. Camila and her father went to Dangriga by _______.

A. boat          B. train                C. bus            D. plane

A. her father didn't care about the boat

B. she couldn't spend more time underwater 

C. the boat was too fast and the tourists were afraid 

D. the boat might make the fish afraid but she could do nothing

Are the Olympic Games outdated (过时的)? That might seem like a strange question to ask. But it's exactly what the International Olympic Committee (国际奥林匹克委员会) is considering. At the 2012 London Olympics, IOC President Thomas Bach noticed something. “You could see that the younger people did not have interest in watching the Games any more. They were not there.”

To change this, the IOC wants to make the Summer Olympics younger. But that isn't as simple as just adding more sports. It's impossible to always add new sports to the Olympics. It would become too much for host cities (主办城市) to deal with. The IOC asks host cities to choose the new sports and then the committee decides which ones can finally be added to that year's games. The new sports would be included in that year's Olympics only. The IOC has agreed to add baseball / softball, karate, skateboarding, sports climbing and surfing to the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.

People are wondering what makes up an Olympic sport. Some people would like to see e-sports at the Olympics, because they are really popular. President Bach thinks video games with killing are not acceptable. One of the main principles (原则) of the Olympics is to encourage world peace. At the moment, the future of e-sports is still unclear.

What about the Winter Olympics? Not to worry. The IOC has already included seven new sports for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The Winter Olympics' situation is a little different. The Winter Olympics have less than half the sports of the Summer Olympics, so they have room to grow.

(    )11. What did Thomas Bach notice after the 2012 London Olympics?

A. Some sports were less popular.

B. Some sports seemed too dangerous.

C. There were fewer young players at the Olympics.

D. Young people were not interested in the Olympics.

(    )12. How many new sports will there be at the 2020 Olympics?

A. One.   B. Three.          C. Five.     D. Seven.

(    )13. In Thomas Bach's opinion, video games with killing _______.

A. have an unclear future

B. are becoming more popular

C. are for young people only

D. fail to encourage world peace

(    )14. Compared with the Summer Olympics, the Winter Olympics _______.

A. have a longer history

B. are more valued by the IOC

C. have more room for new sports

D. show more interest in e-sports 

(    )15. Jack wonders how a new sport is added to the Olympics. He can find the

answer in _______. 

A. Paragraph 1                  B. Paragraph 2    

C. Paragraph 3                   D. Paragraph 4

六、任务型阅读（本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成句子。

Until Brian Green reached high school, his teachers were all women. Even as a child, he found this strange.

As he grew older, he knew he wanted to teach really young children, especially those in Grades 1 and 2. Many of his friends asked him, “Why do you want to teach those children? Only women teach the early grades!”

But, Brian didn't pay much attention to these people. He remembered his own early education and how there were no men teachers for him to look up to. He wanted to change this. He wanted to show students that both men and women could be kind and caring teachers.

In Brian's opinion, the most important aspect (方面) of a good teacher was his or her love for teaching and for students.

It was difficult in the beginning. He was the first man to enter teachers college as an early grade specialist (专业人士). Some people even made fun of him, but he never let go of his dream.

He graduated (毕业) a few years ago and found a job in Ottawa teaching Grade 1. His students loved him, and he loved his students. Last year, Brian Green was honoured as (被誉为) the “Most Encouraging Teacher”. In his speech, Brian explained, “In the beginning, people thought I was crazy. I hope that by receiving this honour, I can be an example to other men who want to do something outside of their traditional roles. We should always follow our dreams, even if it means breaking down some of the traditional beliefs about what men and women should be doing.”

1. Many of Brian's friends thought only women should teach _______________.

2. Brian believed a good teacher must love _______________. 

3. Although Brian was _______________ at college, he never gave up on his dream.

4. Brian worked as a teacher in Ottawa and taught _______________.

5. Brian encouraged people to follow their dreams, even if sometimes they had to _______________ some of the traditional beliefs.
