• 1．    Chen Xingrong's favorite activity is hopping onto the swing and dangling around，set up by his father to help him learn how to swim without water.
      "When he is happy，he jumps on the swing and smiles from ear to ear，" says Chen's father Chen Xunhu. "But he is a big boy now，and the swing has become a bit too small for him."
      Chen Xingrong，16，was diagnosed with autism when he was a baby.
      Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by varying degrees of impairment in communication skills and social interactions.
      In spite of all the hardships in life，Chen Xingrong managed to become an outstanding swimmer，thanks to relentless training and the love and support of his family and community members.
      Chen Xingrong could not utter a word until he was 2 years old.After being diagnosed with autism，his parents were worried.
      Chen Xunhu began traveling to big cities to learn more about autism.He quit his job and devoted his full attention to the topic of autism.
      In 2012，Chen Xunhu learned that swimming could help people with autism so he spent months learning how to swim by watching videos and reading books.
      "I spent three months teaching my son，but the efforts were in vain，" he recalls.
      To his surprise，after another three months，he discovered that his son had developed the ability to control his breath under water，which significantly boosted his confidence.
      In October，the father took his son to participate in the 11th National Paralympic Games and the eighth Special Olympics.
      His son managed to claim five medals，including a gold.
      As well as swimming，learning basic life skills is also an important part of life for a teenager with autism.
      Chen Xunhu has made great efforts to make people in their community understand autism better.
      In 2010，an autism-themed film，titled Ocean Heaven，hit the big screen in China. It depicts how a terminally ill father attempts to teach his son the necessary life skills to live without him.
      Thereafter，Chen Xunhu organized about 500 people to watch the film together hoping the public to know more about autistic people
      Thanks to his father's perseverance，Chen Xingrong has learned to buy food in the market.He also does voluntary jobs at supermarkets and fast-food restaurants.

• 2．    As if grades weren't enough to worry about，some students now have weight on their minds too.The number of overweight children in Europe and the USA States has more than doubled in the past 20 years，according to health scientists and researchers.Being obese，or very overweight，can lead to health problems later in life.
      As a result，schools in a number of places have started sending home "BMI report cards." Those schools send home a report of a student's body mass index （BMI）.BMI is a calculation of weight and height that tells whether a person is overweight for his or her age.
      Should schools send home BMI reports？People on both sides of the debate are weighing in.
      Some leaders say BMI reports alert parents to their children's health and help combat obesity.In 2003，the U.S.jye.ai of Kansas started a program to report students' BMIs to parents.Obesity rates in that state have since stopped increasing.Child doctor Joe Thompson helped plan the BMI program for Kansas schools.He explains that the reports are sent home separately from report cards. "Some people mistakenly think that students are being graded on their weight，" Dr Thomson said. "Just like a school test for eye-sight or hearing，this is a health approach to raise understanding about a danger of being overweight."
      Not everyone thinks that reporting students' BMIs is a good idea.Parents have complained that the reports damage their children's self-esteem.Some parents say kids also worry that they are being "graded" on their weight.Opponents of BMI reports argue that schools that label students overweight are acting unfairly.The critics point out that many school canteens serve fatty and unhealthy foods.Many parents，such as Brett Levy from New York，believe that schools should teach kids to lead healthy lifestyles instead of reporting their BMIs. "Telling a boy or girl a BMI is not education，" he said. "It's a fear strategy."
  
  （1）Why have some places started to send students' BMI reports to parents？

  
  A．To encourage parents to lose weight
  B．To grade students according to their weight
  C．To make parents more aware of a health problem
  D．To show which schools canteens have healthy food
  （2）The underlined word "combat" in paragraph 4 means

  
  A．fight against
  B．raise up
  C．push out
  D．welcome in
  （3）Which of the following statements does Dr Thomson agree according to the passage？

  
  A．School should grade children's weight.
  B．BMI report cards can destroy children's dignity.
  C．Being obese can lead to health problems later in life.
  D．It is good to inform parents about their children's BMI.
  （4）What is the best title for this passage？

  
  A．Students Health Counts
  B．The Weight Debate Continues
  C．Shaming Fat Students Works
  D．New School Policy Angers Parents

• 3．    The ocean is a huge body of saltwater that covers about 71 percent of Earth's surface.An estimated 97 percent of the world's water is found in the ocean.Because of this，the ocean has considerable impact on weather，temperature，and the food supply of humans and other organisms.Despite its size and impact on the lives of every organism on Earth，the ocean remains a mystery.More than 80 percent of the ocean has never been mapped，explored，or even seen by humans.A far greater percentage of the surfaces of the moon and the planet Mars has been mapped and studied than of our own ocean floor.
      Although there is much more to learn，oceanographers（海洋學(xué)家） have already made some amazing discoveries.For example，we know that the ocean contains towering mountain ranges and deep canyons，known as trenches，just like those on land.The peak of the world's tallest mountain—Mount Everest in the Himalaya，measuring 8.84 kilometers （5.49 miles） high—would not even break the surface of the water if it was placed in the Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench or Philippine Trench，two of the deepest parts of the ocean.
      It is unknown how many different species call the ocean their home.With many marine ecosystems suffering from rising sea temperatures，pollution，and other problems，some oceanographers believe the number of species is dropping.Still，there may be many positive surprises awaiting oceanographers in the years ahead.It could be that more than 90 percent of the ocean's species are still undiscovered，with some scientists estimating that there are anywhere between a few hundred thousand and a few million more to be discovered.Currently，scientists know of around 226，000 ocean species.
      Learning more about the seafloor and the rest of the ocean is the passion of National Geographic Explorer Marcello Calisti.He is a biorobotics expert who is developing an undersea exploration vehicle that uses "legged locomotion，" inspired by the way an octopus moves under water.His long-range goal is to design robots that can explore the depths that are difficult for humans to reach.
      Since the ocean is so vast，there is plenty for future oceanographers from all corners of the globe to explore and discover.
  
  （1）Why is the ocean still a mystery？

  
  A．Its large size
  B．Its impact on earth's creatures
  C．Its unexplored area
  D．Its amazing discoveries
  （2）How does the author introduce the amazing discoveries oceanographers have already made about the ocean？

  
  A．By listing statistics
  B．By giving examples
  C．By making comparisons
  D．By analyzing causes
  （3）What is the oceanographers' attitude towards the decreasing number of the ocean species caused by the outer threats？

  
  A．Pessimistic
  B．Indifferent
  C．Conservative
  D．Optimistic
  （4）What can be a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．Ocean：a Mystery Waiting to be Further Explored
  B．Ocean：the Marine Species' Home
  C．Ocean：a Difficult Place to Reach
  D．Ocean：a Place of amazing discoveries

• 4．    For some people，a vacation of walking around a city looking at historic sites and museums is not an attractive option.What they want is adventure and even danger，so when they go on vacation，they include activities with an element of risk.These thrill seekers may try extreme activities such as mountain climbing，white-water rafting，or skydiving.Others turn to scuba diving，but after a few dives to explore the underwater world of brightly colored fish and ocean life，this activity may lose its thrill.For those brave travelers who seek a little more risk in their diving adventures，here comes to cave diving.
      Cave diving is considered one of the world's most dangerous sports.More people have died diving in caves than climbing Mount Qomolangma.Veterans（老手） of the sport say，" Danger comes with the territory.There are no injuries.There are only fatalities." Cave diving is a form of penetration（滲入） diving，which is one of the reasons it is dangerous.In penetration diving，divers enter the water at a specific point and must return to that same point when they emerge from the water.This is in contrast to open-water diving，where divers can return to the surface at any location.
      In cave diving，divers may have to swim a long way through dark，narrow passages to reach the origin of their dive.Divers may get lost or get stuck in these narrow passages.If they are stuck for too long，they may run out of oxygen.In addition，the caves themselves are fragile and sometimes parts of them collapse，temporarily trapping divers.Consequently，it is crucial to carry enough oxygen during cave dives in the event of a problem that delays a diver's ascent（上升，攀登）.
      Another source of danger is the depth of some caves.In some cave dives，the descent（下降） is more than 400 feet （120 meters）.Such deep dives require extra caution on ascent.If divers ascend too quickly，they can become sick or suffer a serious and possibly permanent injury.Finally，in many caves，there are unpredictable currents that can sweep away unprepared divers.Some cave dives are more demanding than others，and they require special training and experience.The most challenging caves are often marked with warning signs that tell inexperienced divers to turn back.Popular cave diving locations include Mexico and the Bahamas.
  
  （1）According to the article，why do people choose cave diving？

  
  A．Caving diving is thrilling.
  B．Caving diving is risky.
  C．Caving diving is fun.
  D．Caving diving is challenging.
  （2）The underlined word "fatalities" in paragraph 2 means

  .
  A．losses
  B．deaths
  C．dangers
  D．injuries
  （3）What can we learn from the passage？

  
  A．In penetration diving，divers enter and leave the water at different points.
  B．The biggest risk in deep dives is that divers may run out of oxygen.
  C．Cave diving is one of the most dangerous sports in the world.
  D．Risk is the only attraction of cave diving.
  （4）What is the main idea of the passage？

  
  A．Deep cave dives are particularly dangerous for several reasons.
  B．Deep cave dives cause serious injuries and deaths.
  C．Cave diving is a form of penetration diving.
  D．Brave travelers go cave diving because of its extreme danger.

      Recently，I began to realize the importance of saying "I love you" in time and giving our loved ones the time that they deserve.Nothing in life is more important than your family.Give them the time they deserve，and it cannot be put off until "some other time".
      After 21 years of marriage，my wife wanted me to take another woman out for dinner and a movie.She said， "I love you，but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you，too."
      The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother，who had been a widow for 19 years，but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.That night I called to invite her for dinner and a movie. "What's wrong？Are you well？" she asked.
      My mother was the type of woman who would suspect that a late-night call or a surprise invitation was a sign of bad news. "I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you，" I responded. "Just the two of us." She thought about it for a moment，and then replied， "I would like that very much."
      That Friday after work，as I drove over to pick her up，I was a bit nervous.When I arrived at her house，I noticed that she，too，seemed to be nervous about our going out.She waited in the door with her coat on.She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she wore when she celebrated her last wedding anniversary.She smiled from a face that was as bright as an angle's. "I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son，and they were impressed，" she said as she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our meeting."
