As a child, Fischer loved going to the beach and riding bikes along the coastline with his father, Karl Fischer. So when he lost his dad to pancreatic cancer, he turned to the healing power of the ocean.
At the start of this year, Fischer wrote his father’s name on his surfboard and took it out to sea in Newport, Rhode Island. His father’s name shone in the sun on what felt like a shared adventure. Inspired, Fischer made a video and posted it on social media the same day. “If you love the ocean, or you know someone who loves the ocean, or maybe you lost someone who just loved being outdoors..., you can comment on this video with their name and a bit of their story, and I’ll put their name on my board here, just like I’ve done with my father’s name,” he said in the video. “And I’ll take them out in the ocean for you.”
Names poured in from thousands of strangers grieving(悲伤) the loss of loved ones. And with that, the One Last Wave Project was born, the aim of which was to exchange stories with a community of people going through the same pain. They were essentially healing together. About two months later, Fischer had received over 5,000 names and written most of them on two surfboards. The first two surfboards ran out of space—he’s working on getting more. He wrote the names in neat letters on the surfboard and put a clear acrylic(丙烯酸) coat over them so they didn’t wash off.
Though a lot of people have been struggling with grief in the pandemic, Fischer was amazed by the responses that have poured in. “If I am able to help one person or one person shares their name, that is enough for me,” he said. “But I am blown away一by not just the number of people sharing, but the depth of stories and love that they are sharing.” And he plans to take his project around the world and connect with even more people—through shared grief and the power of the ocean.
4. How did Fischer share his idea with others?
A. By giving a live broadcast online. B. By posting a video on the Internet.
C. By going to the beach with his father. D. By writing his father’s name on the surfboard.
5. Why did Fischer start the One Last Wave Project?
A. To memorize his father. B. To attract public attention.
C. To face the pandemic bravely. D. To help people out of sadness.
6. What does Fischer intend to do next?
A. Share his experience at sea. B. Extend the project worldwide.
C. Connect to more social media. D. Sail around the world with strangers.
7. What can we learn from the story?
A. Actions speak louder than words. B. He who laughs last laughs best.
C. A good beginning makes a good ending. D. Sharing can help heal the pain.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. D

C
Every year from May to July, tens of thousands of Tibetan antelopes from regions in Qinghai, Tibet autonomous region, and Xinjiang autonomous region make their way to Hoh Xil nature reserve in Qinghai to give birth. The mothers and newborn Tibetan antelopes make the return trip around August.
This journey is rather tough. More than 90 percent of the female animals give birth every year, but only about 30 percent of the newborns survive. Many of them die on the return journey, unable to withstand the predators(捕食性动物) and disease. The government has adopted some high-tech methods to assist in the safe return of newborn antelopes and protect the species.
In 2013, with the help of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, researchers discovered and confirmed the largest Tibetan antelope “birth room” on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and they mapped the migration routes of Tibetan antelopes. Since late 2018, a solar-powered drone has been used to monitor the migration herds. “The solar-powered drone has a long flying time with high-resolution cameras, which gives us a new understanding of many specific routes during the migration of Tibetan antelopes,” said Wu Xiaomin, an expert from the Shaanxi Institute of Zoology. “For example, the nomads(牧民) put fences on the grassland to protect the grass, but sometimes these hinder the normal activity of the Tibetan antelopes.”
To clear the way for the Tibetan antelopes, the government of the Tibet has taken action in recent years to give more protected space to wildlife. They relocate nomads from places at altitudes above 4,800 meters to other places in the region.
Known as “plateau elves”, Tibetan antelopes have adapted to the unique and severe natural conditions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. According to Wu, the Tibetan antelope is recognized as an important indicator species of the natural ecosystem.
The population of Tibetan antelopes has grown. “With a recorded low population of fewer than 20,000 in Qinghai, the number has now reached over 70,000,” said former Qinghai governor Xin Changxing at an event to mark World Environment Day.
8. What can we learn about Tibetan antelopes?
A They travel to Hoh Xil to find partners.
B. Only 30 percent of them give birth every year.
C. Their yearly trip to Hoh Xil takes about one month.
D. The newborns are threatened by diseases and predators.
9. What is the solar-powered drone mainly used for?
A. Locating the Tibetan antelope “birth room”.
B. Recording Tibetan antelopes’ daily activities.
C. Watching over the migrating Tibetan antelopes.
D. Mapping the migration routes of Tibetan antelopes.
10. What does the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Pay attention to. B. Cause trouble for. C. Take control of. D. Play an important role in.
11. How does the government protect Tibetan antelopes?
A. By expanding the area of reserve. B. By driving away their predators.
C. By encouraging nomads to protect them. D. By relocating them to a protected place.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。藏羚羊作为自然生态系统的重要指示物种,为了保护藏羚羊,政府近些年来实施了保护行动,为这些动物提供了更多的保护空间。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“More than 90 percent of the female animals give birth every year, but only about 30 percent of the newborns survive. Many of them die on the return journey, unable to withstand the predators(捕食性动物) and disease. ”(每年超过90% 的雌性动物生产,但只有大约30% 的新生儿存活下来。它们中的许多在返程途中死亡,无法抵御掠食者和疾病)可知,每年有超过90%的雌性藏羚羊会生产,而仅有30%的新生儿能存活下来,在返回的途中,这些存活下来的新生儿因为无法抵御掠食者和疾病而死亡。即新生儿会受到掠食者和疾病的威胁。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Since late 2018, a solar-powered drone has been used to monitor the migration herds. “The solar-powered drone has a long flying time with high-resolution cameras, which gives us a new understanding of many specific routes during the migration of Tibetan antelopes,” said Wu Xiaomin, an expert from the Shaanxi Institute of Zoology. ”(自2018年底以来,一架太阳能无人机已被用于监测迁徙群。陕西省动物研究所专家吴晓民说:“这种太阳能无人机配备高分辨率摄像头,飞行时间长,这让我们对藏羚羊迁徙过程中的许多具体路线有了新的认识。”)可知,太阳能无人机的使用主要是用于监测迁徙的藏羚羊群。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中最后一句““For example, the nomads(牧民) put fences on the grassland to protect the grass, but sometimes these hinder the normal activity of the Tibetan antelopes.””(例如,游牧民族在草原上设置栅栏来保护草地,但有时这些栅栏会hinder藏羚羊的正常活动)第四段第一句“To clear the way for the Tibetan antelopes, the government of the Tibet has taken action in recent years to give more protected space to wildlife. ”(为了给藏羚羊扫清道路,西藏政府近年来采取行动,给野生动物更多的保护空间)结合此处的“clear the way for the Tibetan antelopes”可知,牧民设置的保护草地的栅栏成为了藏羚羊正常活动的障碍,所以政府采取行动来给藏羚羊扫清道路上的障碍。所以划线词指“妨碍,阻碍”。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“To clear the way for the Tibetan antelopes, the government of the Tibet has taken action in recent years to give more protected space to wildlife. They relocate nomads from places at altitudes above 4,800 meters to other places in the region.”(为了给藏羚羊扫清道路,西藏政府近年来采取行动,给野生动物更多的保护空间。他们将游牧民从海拔4800米以上的地方迁移到该地区的其他地方)可知,为了保护藏羚羊,政府近年来采取行动,把牧民从海拔4800米以上的地方迁移到该地区的其他地方,为藏羚羊提供了更多的保护空间。故选A。
D

(不只是那些没有银行账户的人有被抛在后面的危险。)”符合上下文语境。故选F。
【20题详解】

One day, he called his son to his room and said, ''My son , you are no more a kid now. I want you to find the real purpose of your life . ''
Then he handed his son a bag. The son opened the bag. Inside were some food, a little money and a map. His father continued, "I want you to go and find a treasure. I have drawn a map of the place where the treasure is hidden. You need to go and find it."
The son loved this idea. The next day, he set out on a journey to find the treasure. He had to travel really far across forests and mountains. Along the way, he met a lot of people. He was helped by some with food and by some with money.
Finally, after a long year, he reached his destination. He searched and searched, but found nothing. He spent two days looking and digging for the treasure. By the third day, he was so tired that he decided to leave.
On his way back, he met the same people who had helped him earlier. This time he stayed a few days with them and helped them in some way or another. He realized how nice they had been to a stranger who had nothing to offer them in return.

''There wasn't any treasure my son,'' the father answered smiling. ''But why did you send me to find it then? '' the son asked. ''I will surely tell you why, but first you tell me, how was your journey? Did you enjoy it?'' ''Of course not father! I was worried someone else would find the treasure before I did.''
The son continued, ''But I did enjoy the journey on my way back home.'' He was excited. ''I made many friends. I learned so many different skills. There was so much to learn that I forgot the pain of not finding the treasure. ''The father said to him, "Exactly my son. Everyone wants a goal in life.

The truth is, life has no goal at all, other than to just experience it and grow with it every single day.''
