　　An associate university professor in Florida has completed his research mission and set a new world record in the process： living 100 days beneath the ocean’s surface.
　　On Friday morning， Dr Joseph Dituri felt the sun’s rays for the first time since he began the project 22 feet below the waters of Key Largo， Florida， on 1 March.
　　Dituri， 55， a biomedical engineer who teaches at the University of South Florida and calls himself “Dr Deep Sea”， spent just over three months at the bottom of the Emerald Lagoon in Jules’ Undersea Lodge， the only underwater hotel in the United States.
　　The research project， Project Neptune 100， was organised by the Key Largo-based Marine Resources Development Foundation and focused on ocean conservation research and studying how high pressure affects the human body.
　　The US Navy veteran said he’s already noticed one impact： The water pressure seems to have shrunken his stature by half an inch.Dituri stood at 6 feet 1 inch tall before starting his mission， the University of South Florida stated in a news release.
　　The scientist began the project with a belief that increased pressure could help humans live longer and prevent aging-related diseases， the news release said.Dituri said he hopes his underwater research will benefit the treatment of a variety of illnesses， including traumatic brain injuries.
　　Dituri also used the project as an educational experience for youth.“We have interacted with thousands of school children to get them interested in science， technology， engineering and maths，” Dituri told Guinness World Records on 8 June.While underwater， he continued teaching his college students virtually.
　　Dituri broke the Guinness World Record for longest time living underwater at the 74-day mark of his project， on 13 May.The previous record stood at 73 days， two hours and 34 minutes， set at the same location at Dituri’s successful attempt.
24.When did Dr Joseph Dituri probably return to the surface？（　　）
A.On May 9. B.On May 19.
C.On June 9. D.On June 19.
25.Why did Dr Joseph Dituri’s take part in the project？（　　）
A.To challenge his limits. B.To inspire young people.
C.For scientific research. D.For personal enthusiasm.
26.What did Dr Joseph Dituri think of living underwater？（　　）
A.It does harm to human body. B.It’s beneficial to human health.
C.It’s a very painful experience. D.It’s the same as living on the earth.

Staying in on a Friday night feels like a good idea — you could really use the “alone time” after a busy week — until you get on Facebook.You see your friends having a party at that cool bar you’ve been wanting to try， then you start watching another friend’s story before they set out on an exciting road trip.
　　Suddenly， that alone time you chose doesn’t feel so good anymore.You feel like it’s boring to stay at home — you may even question the purpose of your very existence.Don’t worry， that anxiety is common — and not that new.You’re experiencing FOMO， or the fear of missing out.
　　When we are constantly comparing ourselves to people around us， it can lead to some pretty tough feelings.“FOMO is about having thoughts on missing out on opportunities which might increase our happiness，” says psychologist Aarti Gupta in California.There’s a biological explanation for why we experience FOMO.“Humans are social beings and rely on each other to survive， and being left out or not being in the know could have， once upon a time， been a matter of life or death.”
　　If you find yourself comparing yourself to others in a way that doesn’t feel productive， Gupta recommends practicing an abundance （富足） mindset：“This means remembering that there are plenty of opportunities to go around for everyone， and just because someone else found success doesn’t mean that you won’t.”
　　“I think the irony of all of it is that it’s called FOMO， the fear of missing out.But really， what it is doing is that it’s making you miss out on today and that comfortable bed that you’re in right now， or the job that you’re in right now or the relationship that you’re in right now because you’re so worried about what else is out there，” says Gupta.You can battle FOMO simply by being more fully present in and invested in the life you have today.
28.What makes your alone time become unpleasant？（　　）
A.Having nothing to do.
B.Staying at home by yourself.
C.Seeing your friends’ activities.
D.Hearing your friends’ bad news.
29.What’s the third paragraph mainly about？（　　）
A.What FOMO is. B.The reason for FOMO.
C.The outcome of FOMO. D.How to deal with FOMO.
30.What does an abundance mindset mean？（　　）
A.Less competition. B.Less cooperation.
C.More comparison. D.Fewer opportunities.
31.What is the Aarti Gupta’s solution to FOMO？（　　）
A.Making more friends. B.Living in the here and now.
C.Engaging in more activities. D.Ignoring your surroundings.

　　Drones are increasingly flying in our skies， capturing images， managing crops and soon， delivering packages.But what do the birds make of this invasion of their territory？
With strict animal ethics approval， we flew drones towards flocks of birds in Queensland’s Moreton Bay.We found many species were not disturbed， provided the drone was small and flew above 60 m.
The exception was the critically endangered eastern curlews （杓鷸）， which became alarmed and flew away — even when a tiny drone approached at the maximum legal altitude of 120 m.But when eastern curlews took flight， other nearby species were often startled， creating a domino effect that eventually caused the whole flock to take flight.
Drone disturbance can interrupt birds as they rest or feed.It can even cause them to avoid some locations altogether.If the birds are consistently interrupted or scared away from their preferred habitats， they may find it difficult to eat and rest enough to survive and reproduce.This is particularly concerning for species such as eastern curlews， which migrate thousands of kilometres to breed.
We studied a diverse group of birds typically found along coastlines， known as shorebirds.Heartbreakingly， their global population has plummeted as they continue to battle habitat destruction， sea level rise， disturbance and hunting.
The last few decades have been bleak for the eastern curlew， which is the world’s largest migratory shorebird.Research in 2011 indicated a population decline of 80% over three generations.
While drones are unlikely to have played a major role in shorebird decline so far， our results， combined with the increasing presence of drones along our coastline， indicate they could become yet another source of disturbance for these birds， many of which are already endangered.
Drones can be beneficial in many ways， but we must identify when and how drones can be used to minimise potential harm.In some locations， such as some Australian national parks， drone use is already prohibited or restricted.But managers need to understand how drones affect wildlife to inform these regulations.
32.What’s the problem with eastern curlews？（　　）
A.They are being killed. B.They are being disturbed.
C.Their safety is being threatened. D.Their habitats are being damaged.
33.What do we learn about eastern curlews？（　　）
A.They are able to fly above 120 meters.
B.They can’t find a place to eat and rest.
C.They adapt to the environment quickly.
D.They are sensitive to their surroundings.
34.What does the underlined word “plummeted” in Paragraph 5 mean？（　　）
A.Reduced sharply. B.Increased rapidly.
C.Recovered slowly. D.Changed gradually.
35.What’s the author’s final conclusion about drones？（　　）
A.They pose no threat to eastern curlews.
B.They should be forbidden near the shores.
C.They should be used under certain regulations.
D.They benefit eastern curlews in a number of ways.

Instead of trying to simplify your whole life， how about just simplifying one thing？ Simplifying one thing is doable. 36.（　　）
Simplicity is the path. You can pick one of the ideas below and carry it out today.
Single-task.
The next thing you choose to do ...do only that. Close everything else， put your phone away， and just focus on that one task. 37.（　　） When you go for a walk， have nothing to listen to or look at， other than the nature all around you. One thing at a time： wash one dish， just write， just eat.
Use in-between spaces as meditations （沉思）.
38.（　　） Enjoy this in-between space. Notice how you’re feeling， what’s around you， what you just did， what your intention is for what you’re about to do. When you’re going somewhere else， just enjoy this time fully， and don’t rush past it.
39.（　　）
Pick someone today to be with fully. Put away your phone， let go of anything else you’re thinking about， and just be with them. Listen to them. Open your heart to them. Send them your love. If you do this with one person a day， your life will become better through better relationships and connection.
Clear one space.

　　5 December 2012 was a very special day for Josephine and Scott Lansing， as it marked the fourth adoption for the Lansings.
When they began the journey to adopt their first daughter， Cloe， years ago， Josephine and Scott Lansing never imagined they would eventually have a house full of girls.The couple later adopted Josie in 2011 and Annabelle in 2012.For the Lansing family， adoption is about giving every child the opportunity to grow healthily in a loving home.Scott and Josephine are great advocates for each of their daughters， and they make sure each child knows how special and loved they are.
In February 2009， Bethany entered into the care of Child Protective Services due to her mother’s inability to care for her and her brothers and sisters.Her experiences made it very difficult for her to trust adults， since she learned from an early age that she could only count on herself.She lived in a shelter for several months before moving into a foster home （寄養家庭）.Still， Bethany struggled to understand why she had been taken away from the only family she had known.In May 2010， Bethany was placed at Helping Hand Home for Children’s Residential Treatment Center， where her journey to returning to normal finally began.With the patience， support， and guidance of the Helping Hand Home staff， Bethany developed healthy， appropriate ways to express her emotions.She was taught to respect herself， and she learned that it was okay to trust others.
When Bethany was introduced to the Lansing family in June 2012， the meeting did not go as smoothly as everyone hoped.Bethany’s insecurities resurfaced due to the suffering she experienced at such a young age， and she refused to talk or even look at the Lansings at their first meeting.

W：Tim， you’re going to talk about your project on “How to Lead a Greener Life”.Why did you choose that subject？
M：Well， we’d learnt a lot about the environment in our science lessons. So， I decided to see what I could do in my own life， rather than just act completely helplessly.And I knew the rest of my family would be interested.
W：Did you find it easy to get information？
M：Yeah， I discovered there were lots of people at my age trying to be green.I’d always gone to school by car.Catching a bus would be better， but there’s no bus where we live， so I’ve gone for riding my bike to school now.
W：OK， and what about being green once you’re actually at school？
M：Well， I realised that although all school paper was recycled and most of my friends use both sides of paper， we use huge quantities， and I thought we should cut down. And then it came to me that we should be handing in most of our homework electronically.I’m going to recommend it to our teachers.
W：And what about the school cafeteria？
M：One school I’ve read about has meatless Mondays.It’s good to use local produce， too.That’s something our school already does.But we still have machines with bottled milk， water and juices for sale， and I think we shouldn’t have them.

29.B　段落大意題。根據第三段可知，本段主要分析和解釋了錯失恐懼癥發生的根本原因。從生物學的角度而言，錯失恐懼癥是我們人類基于生存目的的一種本能反應。
30.A　推理判斷題。根據第四段可知，富足心態具體表現為：相信這個世界上人人都有成功的機會，別人的成功并不意味著自己的不成功。也就是說，這種心態帶來的結果是人與人之間的競爭和攀比會少一些，合作支持會多一些。
31.B　推理判斷題。根據最后一段可知，Aarti Gupta認為，應對錯失恐懼癥的關鍵在于“活在當下”。live in the here and now是live in the present的另一種表達方式。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。無人機越來越多地飛行在我們的天空中，用于拍攝圖像、管理作物，很快還會用于運送包裹。這些無人機的出現會對海邊的鳥類產生什么影響呢？
32.B　細節理解題。根據第三段可知，由于無人機的出現，瀕危的海濱鳥類東部杓鷸經常受到驚嚇而飛離原來的棲息地。
33.D　推理判斷題。根據第二、三段可知，如果無人機的飛行高度在60米以上，大部分鳥類不會受到影響；而東部杓鷸是一個例外——即使無人機的飛行高度達到法定的最高高度120米，它們依然會受到驚嚇。這說明杓鷸對周圍環境非常敏感。
34.A　詞義猜測題。根據第五段可知，東部杓鷸一直面臨棲息地被破壞、海平面上升、各種干擾以及人類狩獵這些挑戰。由此可知，它們的數量是一直在“減少”。
35.C　推理判斷題。根據最后一段可知，作者認為：無人機在很多方面都是有益的，但我們必須確定何時以及如何使用無人機來最大限度地減少其潛在的危害。同時，管理人員需要了解無人機是如何影響野生動物的，以便制定相關的法規來監管無人機的使用。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章就如何簡化我們的生活提供了四條建議。
36.D　上句說“只簡化一件事是可行的”，故D項符合語境。
37.F　上文建議我們專注于一件事，接下來列舉了一些例子，而F項正好是其中一個例子。
38.G　本段建議我們利用好兩件工作或任務之間的間歇去思考，故G項符合語境。
39.B　本段建議我們全身心去陪伴一個人，故B項符合語境。
40.E　本段建議我們清理好一個空間，故E項符合語境。
第三部分
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了海洋和森林的重要性，以及保護它們的方法和意義等。
41.D　根據第三段中的Forests are home to more than 80% of Earth’s biodiversity以及第四段第一句可知，海洋和森林在維持地球的生命方面起到極其重要的作用。support意為“維持，養活”。
42.C　根據第一段中的we look at the extremely important task of saving our oceans and forests以及第五段中的There are ways to protect the forests and oceans.可知，此處應為“可以做更多來保護它們”。
43.B　森林是在陸地上的，所以此處表示“森林是地球80%以上陸地生物多樣性的家園”。
44.A　上文提及森林是地球80%以上陸地生物多樣性的家園，而此處提及森林在移除大氣中的二氧化碳方面起到重要作用。這兩個方面指的都是森林的作用，因此上下文之間為遞進關系。
45.B　根據生活常識可知，植物吸收二氧化碳，釋放氧氣。因此是從大氣中移除二氧化碳。remove ...from ...意為“從……中移除……”。
46.D　根據生活常識可知，二氧化碳是造成氣候變化的主要原因。cause意為“引起，造成”。
47.C　根據第二段中的Oceans and forests play ...life on the earth以及第三段提及了森林的重要性可知，此處指海洋是同樣重要的。
48.A　根據生活常識可知，海洋覆蓋了地球的70%左右。
49.D　根據上文的half the atmosphere’s oxygen可知，氧氣是我們需要呼吸的。
50.C　根據第五段中的eating fish with healthy population numbers 可知，海洋是數百萬動植物的家園并且也是人類豐富食物的來源。
51.B　根據下文的or cycling instead of using a car可知，保護森林和海洋的方法是騎自行車而不是用汽車，這屬于交通方式。
52.A　根據上文的There are ways to protect the forests and oceans.可知，保護森林的方法是不買對雨林有消極影響的產品。
53.C　根據上文的eating fish with healthy population numbers可知，此處指少吃肉。
54.D　根據第一段中的we look at the extremely important task of saving our oceans and forests可知，此處表示讓年輕人關注這些問題是至關重要的。key作形容詞時，意為“至關重要的；主要的；關鍵的”。
55.A　上文提及讓年輕人關注這些問題是至關重要的；再根據下文的we’re wasting our time可知，如果年輕人不被說服自然界是重要的話，我們就是在浪費時間。persuade意為“勸說；說服”。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。海底深不可測，人類對它的探索從來沒有停止。

第一節
It’s Time to Protect Sea Animals
As is known to all， our seas have been polluted because of human activities， such as overfishing and dumping garbage.In fact， the problem is so serious that many sea animals are on the verge of extinction.It is reported that over one million seabirds are killed by ocean pollution each year.
Then what should we do to protect sea animals？ For one thing， we should reduce plastic pollution by carrying out 3R Rule， namely Reduce， Reuse and Recycle， because plastic is the most common rubbish that is found in the sea.For another， illegal fishing must be completely forbidden.One of the main consequences of industrial fishing is that some species have been overfished to the point of near extinction.
第二節
　　But the Lansing family had no intention to give up.They were patient with Bethany and explained that they wanted to get to know her better and hoped she would one day be part of their family.The other girls shared their stories of coming from the foster care system， and they told her how scared they had been about meeting a new family too and how happy they were now.Soon Bethany’s anxiety eased， and she agreed to go and see her new home.
Later， Bethany experienced a lot of exciting things.From many hours spent at the neighbourhood pool to her first trip to the beach， Bethany now lived the life every child deserves.The Lansings celebrated Bethany’s 11th birthday with a pleasant trip.When Bethany returns to Helping Hand Home to visit， the first thing everyone comments on is her self-confidence.The little girl who was once afraid to make eye contact is now a secure， funny young lady who would talk your ear off.

want to make some cookies later.
M：Sure thing， honey. I’ll grab some when I get coffee later.I
think we’re running low on milk， too.
（Text 3）
M：Did you get a present for Molly’s birthday？
W：Yes.You know she loves to listen to Johnny Holden — she’s got
all his CDs — so when I saw this book all about his life， I knew that
was the perfect present for her.
（Text 4）
W：I’m looking for a place to have my client’s art show.We are
really hoping to attract a large audience.
M：You should try the Fairmont Hotel.It’s expensive to rent， but
it’s also right by the subway.It’s super convenient.
（Text 5）
M：Was the telephone ringing？
W：I didn’t hear anything.Sometimes when the windows are
open， you can hear the neighbours’ phone ringing.
M：Well.I’m expecting an important phone call， and I don’t
want to miss it.
（Text 6）
W：How is your mother feeling these days？
M：Much better， thanks， Ms Wang. The operation went smoothly
and the doctor says she’ll recover in no time and she’ll probably
come home at the weekend.
W：That’s wonderful.When will you come back to class？
M：I still need a week to take care of her and today I will do some
cleaning for her coming home.

you？ Why didn’t you take part？
W：I’m just not interested in competitions.
（Text 8）
W：Hello.Front desk.
M：This is Bob Robinson.I’m calling from Room 627.
W：Hi， Mr Robinson.What can I do for you？
M：Is it possible to change to another room？
W：Could you please tell me why？
M：Our room is facing the swimming pool.It’s noisy for me.I have
a problem with sleeping.And my wife feels uncomfortable when she
takes the elevator.

（Text 9）
W：Tim， you’re going to talk about your project on “How to
Lead a Greener Life”.Why did you choose that subject？
M：Well， we’d learnt a lot about the environment in our science
lessons. So， I decided to see what I could do in my own life， rather
than just act completely helplessly.And I knew the rest of my family
would be interested.
W：Did you find it easy to get information？
M：Yeah， I discovered there were lots of people at my age trying to
be green.I’d always gone to school by car.Catching a bus would be
better， but there’s no bus where we live， so I’ve gone for riding
my bike to school now.
W：OK， and what about being green once you’re actually at
school？
M：Well， I realised that although all school paper was recycled and
most of my friends use both sides of paper， we use huge quantities，
and I thought we should cut down. And then it came to me that we
should be handing in most of our homework electronically.I’m
going to recommend it to our teachers.
W：And what about the school cafeteria？
M：One school I’ve read about has meatless Mondays.It’s good to
use local produce， too.That’s something our school already
does.But we still have machines with bottled milk， water and juices
for sale， and I think we shouldn’t have them.
（Text 10）
W：One destination that is becoming popular with Chinese tourists is
Bali.It is a beautiful island of Indonesia.There is a rainy season that is

sea life.There are some creatures that don’t exist anywhere else in
the world. Visitors who don’t know how to dive can take classes while they’re on vacation there.The island is also home to several active volcanoes.Many scientific groups come to study them.Even though tourism is on the rise， most of the population still works in agriculture
and the fishing industry.Bali also has many traditional artworks.Some popular products for sale include clothing with special designs， wood sculptures， and organic coffee.A great time to visit the island is during one of its many festivals.Since ancient times， the culture of Bali has had a lot of influence from Chinese culture.Chinese New Year is widely celebrated by Indonesians who are of Chinese origin.The island of Bali has many ancient Chinese buildings that are especially good to visit during the holiday.

　　An associate university professor in Florida has completed his
research mission and set a new world record in the process： living 100
days beneath the ocean’s surface.
　　On Friday morning， Dr Joseph Dituri felt the sun’s rays for the
first time since he began the project 22 feet below the waters of Key
Largo， Florida， on 1 March.
　　Dituri， 55， a biomedical engineer who teaches at the University of
South Florida and calls himself “Dr Deep Sea”， spent just over three
months at the bottom of the Emerald Lagoon in Jules’ Undersea Lodge，
the only underwater hotel in the United States.
　　The research project， Project Neptune 100， was organised by the
Key Largo-based Marine Resources Development Foundation and focused
on ocean conservation research and studying how high pressure affects the
human body.
　　The US Navy veteran said he’s already noticed one impact： The
water pressure seems to have shrunken his stature by half an inch.Dituri
stood at 6 feet 1 inch tall before starting his mission， the University of
South Florida stated in a news release.
　　The scientist began the project with a belief that increased pressure
could help humans live longer and prevent aging-related diseases， the
news release said.Dituri said he hopes his underwater research will benefit
the treatment of a variety of illnesses， including traumatic brain injuries.
　　Dituri also used the project as an educational experience for
youth.“We have interacted with thousands of school children to get them
interested in science， technology， engineering and maths，” Dituri
told Guinness World Records on 8 June.While underwater， he continued
teaching his college students virtually.
　　Dituri broke the Guinness World Record for longest time living
underwater at the 74-day mark of his project， on 13 May.The previous
record stood at 73 days， two hours and 34 minutes， set at the same
location at Dituri’s successful attempt.

C
Staying in on a Friday night feels like a good idea — you could
really use the “alone time” after a busy week — until you get on
Facebook.You see your friends having a party at that cool bar you’ve
been wanting to try， then you start watching another friend’s story
before they set out on an exciting road trip.
　　Suddenly， that alone time you chose doesn’t feel so good
anymore.You feel like it’s boring to stay at home — you may even
question the purpose of your very existence.Don’t worry， that anxiety
is common — and not that new.You’re experiencing FOMO， or the
fear of missing out.
　　When we are constantly comparing ourselves to people around us， it
can lead to some pretty tough feelings.“FOMO is about having thoughts
on missing out on opportunities which might increase our happiness，”
says psychologist Aarti Gupta in California.There’s a biological
explanation for why we experience FOMO. “Humans are social beings
and rely on each other to survive， and being left out or not being in the
know could have， once upon a time， been a matter of life or death.”
　　If you find yourself comparing yourself to others in a way that
doesn’t feel productive， Gupta recommends practicing an abundance
（富足） mindset：“This means remembering that there are plenty of
opportunities to go around for everyone， and just because someone else
found success doesn’t mean that you won’t.”
　　“I think the irony of all of it is that it’s called FOMO， the fear of
missing out.But really， what it is doing is that it’s making you miss out
on today and that comfortable bed that you’re in right now， or the job
that you’re in right now or the relationship that you’re in right now
because you’re so worried about what else is out there，” says
Gupta.You can battle FOMO simply by being more fully present in and
invested in the life you have today.

語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。錯失恐懼癥特指那種總在擔心失去
或錯過什么的焦慮心情，也稱“局外人困境”。
28. What makes your alone time become unpleasant？（　　）
A. Having nothing to do.
B. Staying at home by yourself.
C. Seeing your friends’ activities.
D. Hearing your friends’ bad news.
解析： 　細節理解題。根據第一、二段可知，你本來打算好好
獨自享受周末，結果因為在社交媒體上看到周圍朋友們的精彩生
活一下子感到自己的周末索然無味。
29. What’s the third paragraph mainly about？（　　）
A. What FOMO is.
B. The reason for FOMO.
C. The outcome of FOMO.
D. How to deal with FOMO.
解析： 　段落大意題。根據第三段可知，本段主要分析和解釋
了錯失恐懼癥發生的根本原因。從生物學的角度而言，錯失恐懼
癥是我們人類基于生存目的的一種本能反應。
30. What does an abundance mindset mean？（　　）
A. Less competition.
B. Less cooperation.
C. More comparison.
D. Fewer opportunities.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據第四段可知，富足心態具體表現
為：相信這個世界上人人都有成功的機會，別人的成功并不意味
著自己的不成功。也就是說，這種心態帶來的結果是人與人之間
的競爭和攀比會少一些，合作支持會多一些。
31. What is the Aarti Gupta’s solution to FOMO？（　　）
A. Making more friends.
B. Living in the here and now.
C. Engaging in more activities.
D. Ignoring your surroundings.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據最后一段可知，Aarti Gupta認為，應
對錯失恐懼癥的關鍵在于“活在當下”。live in the here and now
是live in the present的另一種表達方式。
D
　　Drones are increasingly flying in our skies， capturing images，
managing crops and soon， delivering packages.But what do the birds
make of this invasion of their territory？
　　With strict animal ethics approval， we flew drones towards flocks of
birds in Queensland’s Moreton Bay.We found many species were not
disturbed， provided the drone was small and flew above 60 m.
　　The exception was the critically endangered eastern curlews （杓
鷸）， which became alarmed and flew away — even when a tiny drone
approached at the maximum legal altitude of 120 m.But when eastern
curlews took flight， other nearby species were often startled， creating a
domino effect that eventually caused the whole flock to take flight.
　　Drone disturbance can interrupt birds as they rest or feed.It can even
cause them to avoid some locations altogether.If the birds are consistently
interrupted or scared away from their preferred habitats， they may find it
difficult to eat and rest enough to survive and reproduce.This is
particularly concerning for species such as eastern curlews， which
migrate thousands of kilometres to breed.
　　We studied a diverse group of birds typically found along coastlines，
known as shorebirds.Heartbreakingly， their global population has
plummeted as they continue to battle habitat destruction， sea level rise，
disturbance and hunting.
　　The last few decades have been bleak for the eastern curlew， which
is the world’s largest migratory shorebird.Research in 2011 indicated a
population decline of 80% over three generations.
　　While drones are unlikely to have played a major role in shorebird
decline so far， our results， combined with the increasing presence of
drones along our coastline， indicate they could become yet another
source of disturbance for these birds， many of which are already
endangered.
　　Drones can be beneficial in many ways， but we must identify when
and how drones can be used to minimise potential harm.In some
locations， such as some Australian national parks， drone use is already

　　Living a life of simplicity can be a beautiful thing. But simplifying
itself can seem like a difficult process. So I recommend simplicity in your
simplifying.
　　Instead of trying to simplify your whole life， how about just
simplifying one thing？ Simplifying one thing is doable. 36.（　　）
　　Simplicity is the path. You can pick one of the ideas below and carry
it out today.
　　Single-task.
　　The next thing you choose to do ...do only that. Close everything
else， put your phone away， and just focus on that one task. 37.
（　　） When you go for a walk， have nothing to listen to or look at，
other than the nature all around you. One thing at a time： wash one
dish， just write， just eat.
　　Use in-between spaces as meditations （沉思）.
　　38. （　　） Enjoy this in-between space. Notice how you’re
feeling， what’s around you， what you just did， what your intention
is for what you’re about to do. When you’re going somewhere else，
just enjoy this time fully， and don’t rush past it.
　　39. （　　）
　　Pick someone today to be with fully. Put away your phone， let go of
anything else you’re thinking about， and just be with them. Listen to
them. Open your heart to them. Send them your love. If you do this with
one person a day， your life will become better through better
relationships and connection.
　　Clear one space.

of your life！

B. Be fully present with someone.
C. Try your best to complete every task.

Attenborough says more can be done to 　42　 them.
　　Forests are home to more than 80% of the earth’s biodiversity
on 　43　.Biodiversity is the variety of plant and animal life in the world
or in a particular habitat.Forests 　44　 play a large role in 　45　 carbon
dioxide （CO2）， a gas that 　46　 climate change， from the
atmosphere.
　　Oceans are 　47　 important.They cover around 70% of the 　48　
and provide more than half the atmosphere’s oxygen， which we need
to 　49　.The seas are home to millions of animals and plants and are a
very rich source of 　50　 for humans.
　　There are ways to protect the forests and oceans.Some of these
include 　51　 or cycling instead of using a car， eating fish with healthy
population numbers， not buying products that have a 　52　 effect on
rainforests， such as palm oil， and 　53　 less meat.
　　Attenborough said that getting younger people to get involved with
these problems is 　54　.“If they aren’t 　55　 that the natural world
is important， we’re wasting our time，” he said.

It’s Time to Protect Sea Animals
參考范文：
It’s Time to Protect Sea Animals
　　As is known to all， our seas have been polluted because of human
activities， such as overfishing and dumping garbage.In fact， the
problem is so serious that many sea animals are on the verge of
extinction.It is reported that over one million seabirds are killed by ocean
pollution each year.
　　Then what should we do to protect sea animals？ For one thing， we
should reduce plastic pollution by carrying out 3R Rule， namely
Reduce， Reuse and Recycle， because plastic is the most common
rubbish that is found in the sea.For another， illegal fishing must be
completely forbidden.One of the main consequences of industrial fishing
is that some species have been overfished to the point of near extinction.

years ago， Josephine and Scott Lansing never imagined they would
eventually have a house full of girls.The couple later adopted Josie in 2011
and Annabelle in 2012.For the Lansing family， adoption is about giving
every child the opportunity to grow healthily in a loving home.Scott and
Josephine are great advocates for each of their daughters， and they make
sure each child knows how special and loved they are.
　　In February 2009， Bethany entered into the care of Child Protective
Services due to her mother’s inability to care for her and her brothers and
sisters.Her experiences made it very difficult for her to trust adults， since
she learned from an early age that she could only count on herself.She
lived in a shelter for several months before moving into a foster home （寄
養家庭）.Still， Bethany struggled to understand why she had been taken
away from the only family she had known.In May 2010， Bethany was
placed at Helping Hand Home for Children’s Residential Treatment
Center，
where her journey to returning to normal finally began.With the patience，
support， and guidance of the Helping Hand Home staff， Bethany
developed healthy， appropriate ways to express her emotions.She was
taught to respect herself， and she learned that it was okay to trust others.
　　When Bethany was introduced to the Lansing family in June 2012，
the meeting did not go as smoothly as everyone hoped.Bethany’s
insecurities resurfaced due to the suffering she experienced at such a young
age， and she refused to talk or even look at the Lansings at their first
meeting.

　　But the Lansing family had no intention to give up.They were patient
with Bethany and explained that they wanted to get to know her better and
hoped she would one day be part of their family.The other girls shared
their stories of coming from the foster care system， and they told her how
scared they had been about meeting a new family too and how happy they
were now.Soon Bethany’s anxiety eased， and she agreed to go and see
her new home.
　　Later， Bethany experienced a lot of exciting things.From many
hours spent at the neighbourhood pool to her first trip to the beach，
Bethany now lived the life every child deserves.The Lansings celebrated
Bethany’s 11th birthday with a pleasant trip.When Bethany returns to
Helping Hand Home to visit， the first thing everyone comments on is her
self-confidence.The little girl who was once afraid to make eye contact is
now a secure， funny young lady who would talk your ear off.
