2．I'd been thinking of taking a course on scuba-diving（水肺潛水）for months，but wasn't sure because I was afraid of snakes!Sea snakes.Just thinking about it made me sick.
But then，I wanted to know why people loved it so much.They all said that under the sea was like a totally different world，yet a beautiful one.And because of that，I decided to take the risk and try to face my fear.
So，after taking a private course from my diving instructor，Mbak Vita，I went to Sepa Island with her，to take the final exam.
First dive，12 meters in depth. "What am I doing？" I asked myself. "What if something bad happened？" I tried hard not to panic and told myself to keep a good thought， "It's gonna be a wonderful experience.Just do it!" Then I went down.My heart beat fast and my ears hurt as I went deeper.I followed Vita's instructions closely until I felt comfortable to explore the sea.
Suddenly all around me was green.It felt like I was living in a green world!I saw some corals（珊瑚），big ones，and lots of beautiful fish hiding in the sand.
I was enjoying the beauty all around me when my instructor waved at me with her hand holding a pink flipper（橡膠蹼）. "That flipper looks familiar，" I thought.Yes!That was my flipper!I didn't realize that my right flipper had managed to get away from my right foot!
So，that was the first dive.In total，we dove 5 times in 2 days.We managed to dive up to 18 meters in depth.The next dives were smooth and for sure I didn't lose my flipper!I was so happy to see different types of fish swimming in front of me as if I was invisible（不可見的）.It was indeed so beautiful and peaceful down there.Now I can see why people love diving under the sea.

3．Eating out is such a pleasure ― the food，the wine，the joy of having it all brought to you by someone else ― that it's a pity to ruin the experience by sharing it with other people.
Well，I do like visiting restaurants with friends.But dining out alone has its own very special attractions.For a start you can give all your attention to the food.There's nothing worse than having to invent and deliver an opinion on school league tables or Sanchez's move to Manchester United，plus listen to everyone else's opinions，when all you really want to do is enjoy each mouthful along the way.
A second great thing about eating out alone is the chance to combine food with one of life's other true pleasures：reading.You have to plan this carefully：Indian or Chinese restaurants are best ― you need food you can eat with just one hand，leaving the other free to hold your reading material.
But perhaps the biggest attraction of a table for one is the chance it gives to people-watching.Restaurants and the different reasons for visiting them ― first date，business meeting，night out with friends ― produce human behaviour of surprising richness and variety.Will the man selling his business idea get any joy out of his possible investor（投資者）？Will the married couple think of anything to say to each other before their main courses arrive？
This "human zoo" part of eating out alone is one of the reasons I'd hate to be famous：everyone would be watching you，so you wouldn't be able to watch jye.aim.The snooker player Steve Davis says this was one of the strangest consequences（后果） of becoming well-known：he got very worried about his eating in public，almost to the level of doubting whether he was "doing it right."
So next time you're considering your eating out choices，remember the advice of the businessman Nubar Gulbenkian： "The best number for a dinner party is two ― myself and a super head waiter."
（1）What does the text mainly talk about？
A．The reasons for eating out alone.
B．The trouble with eating in public.
C．The suggestions about dining out.
D．The fear of making dining choices.
（2）What is the best part of dining out alone？
A．One can fix one's eyes on the food.
B．One can enjoy reading while eating.
C．One is likely to come across famous people.
D．One is given the chance to watch other diners.
（3）What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 5？
A．Steve Davis cared too much about table manners.
B．Famous people are always the center of attention.
C．Being famous may ruin the joy of eating out alone.
D．Being watched seems far better than watching others.
（4）What is suggested at the end of the text？
A．Dining with friends.
B．Chatting over dinner.
C．Having a table for one.
D．Sharing a table with a waiter.組卷：4引用：1難度：0.5 -
4．How does an ecosystem （生態(tài)系統(tǒng)） work？What makes the populations of different species the way they are？Why are there so many flies and so few wolves？To find an answer，scientists have built mathematical models of food webs，noting who eats whom and how much each one eats.
With such models，scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs.Most food webs，for instance，consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones.When a predator （掠食動物） always eats huge numbers of a single prey （獵物） ，the two species are strongly linked；when a predator lives on various species，they are weakly linked.Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term.If a predator can eat several species，it can survive the extinction （滅絕） of one of them.And if a predator can move on to another species that is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare，the switch allows the original prey to recover.The weak links may thus keep species from driving one another to extinction.
Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable，where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems.In the 1960s，scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species—including species they did not directly attack.
And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to be true.In the ocean，we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale，while on land，we killed off large predators such as wolves.These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.
Scientists have built an early-warning system based on mathematical models.Ideally，the system would tell us when to adapt human activities that are pushing an ecosystem toward a breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back from the borderline.Prevention is key，scientists say，because once ecosystems pass their tipping point （臨界點(diǎn)） ，it is remarkably difficult for them to return.
（1）A strong link is found between two species when a predator.
A．has a wide food choice
B．can easily find new prey
C．sticks to one prey species
D．can quickly move to another place
（2）What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly decline？
A．The prey species they directly attack will die out.
B．The species they indirectly attack will turn into top predators.
C．The living environment of other species will remain unchanged.
D．The populations of other species will experience unexpected changes.
（3）What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4？
A．Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems.
B．Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats.
C．Species of commercial value dominate other species.
D．Industrial activities help keep food webs stable.
（4）How does an early-warning system help us maintain the ecological balance？
A．By getting illegal practices under control.
B．By stopping us from killing large predators.
C．By bringing the broken-down ecosystems back to normal.
D．By signaling the urgent need for taking preventive action.組卷：10引用：3難度：0.5

5．You know that overnight success usually takes at least 10 years？One man said， "My overnight success was the longest night of my life，I spent many days and nights just getting there."（1）
Many people are waiting for their ship to come in---when they've not even sent it out of the harbor（海港）.You see，winners simply do what losers don't want to do.（2）Success is mostly just hanging on after others have let go!So the most important trip you'll make is when you go the extra mile.
Many people who have failed do not know how close they are to success when they give up. （3）One guy said， "The secret to success is to start from doing and to keep on doing." So don't give up because your trying times are hard.
（4）If we keep doing，we can gain almost anything we want.The American President Calvin Coolidge said， "Nothing can bring success like persistence（堅(jiān)持）.Talent can't，for there are many talented people who are not successful. （5）Only persistence and determination can give you the power to succeed." You see，you can succeed just like anyone else，just keep wanting it enough and to keep working for it enough.So why not decide it today to start going the extra mile on the road to your success？
A.They don't actually fail；they just give up too easily.
B.They made all the efforts without any results.
C.Remember， "Rome was not built in a day."
D.Education can't，for the world is full of educated losers.
E.And they keep doing it till they get the success they want.
F.Never forget，it is persistence that matters.
G.Give it all you've got and you can never fail.組卷：9引用：2難度：0.5
