第一节 阅读理解
A
As a high school senior, I have found the last several months to be extremely busy, but the college search, scholarship applications, and financial and paperwork are only the beginning of a hazy(模糊的) path.
I decided at a young age, with the near death of my mother, that I would work as hard as I could to become a surgeon(外科医生classes, and maintained good scores. At that moment I never looked back until recently.
A few weeks ago I looked back on my decision. For the first time I questioned being a surgeon. I said to myself.
I knew I had a passion for writing, but I was ignoring it, pushing it aside, and considering it unrealistic. But then it hit me. For the first time in four year, I thought of something other than surgery and with it came a sudden case. It allowed me to step back and take a look at where I was heading.
My advice to high school students is to ask yourself some questions. What is the one thing you love doing? Where do you want to be with your life? What is your favorite moment from high school? Don't worry if your answer is,

Last Wednesday night, I attended the event for the Blue Mind Symposium (讨论会), which brought scientists, artists, architects, engineers, sailors and many others together to explore the connections between the ocean and the human mind. The goal of the symposium is to use our collective brainpower to advance management of the sea.
It doesn't take a scientist to explain the deep emotional connection many of us feel to the sea. Ask any surfer, beach-goer, fisherman or diver and they will talk about the calm that comes over them out on the water or the hypnotic(催眠的 ) effect of waves crashing on the shore.
We celebrate those connections annually on June 8, World Occans Day. It's a time to be grateful for all that the ocean provides, from food and jobs to clean air and the adventure of exploration. It's also a time to check marine protection efforts.
Around the world, people are paying more and more attention, and the Blue Mind Symposium is just one of a number of recent conferences that have brought leading thinkers in ocean protection together to share ideas. The 3rd annual Blue Vision Summit explored opportunities for everyday action on ocean protection, and the 2nd International Marine Conservation Congress focused on worldwide advances in adopting marine protected areas.
Right now, just over l% of our oceans are protected. That means many of the important nurseries for ocean wildlife have the risk of being damaged by a variety of pressures, from climate change to habitat destruction.
Around the world, there have been major advances in ocean protection, from the 3,800-square-mile marine reserve created in Costa Rica to China's first seven ocean parks. And, closer to home, networks of marine protected areas are in place and being monitored along half our coast. That's cause for celebration, and for hope.
31. The Blue Mind Symposium __________.
A. is mainly attended by scientists studying marine life
B. is held every year to celebrate World Oceans Day
C. wants to find out how humans influence oceans
D. aims to find out how to manage oceans properly
32. According to the second paragraph, when out on the sea many people feel __________.
A. bored B. excited C. at ease D. under stress
33. We can learn from the passage that __________.
A. more and more people are realizing the importance of ocean protection
B. most oceans are under people's protection
C. more international meetings are needed to discuss the importance of oceans
D. most people are unaware of the disadvantages of ocean exploration
34. What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?
A. Suggestions on ocean protection. B. Efforts people have made to protect oceans.

In the middle of the 20th century people were worried about whales. The number of whales killed worldwide came up to 66,000 per year. However, people weren't worried about the whale as an endangered animal. Instead, they were worried about the whale industry, which would disappear if there were no whales.

After a spray of champagne and words of congratulations from Ironman race director Diana Bertsch, the robots were presented with flower garlands(花环） and the entire robot crew jumped into the sea.

以下是杂志编辑针对上面的来信所做的回复。请把回复与来信匹配起来。
46. Start by making your own plan on the weekend. Invite all your friends, including her, and stick to it. Even if she fails to come, you'll still be having fun with everyone else who decides to show up. Then the next time she invites you to do something but then cancels the plan, take the opportunity to say.
47. All teens need a certain amount of physical activity to maintain their health, whether they are overweight or not. However, sedentary habits are commonplace among teens. A key step is to make physical activity casier to do. People adopt new behavior when they want to perform these behavior and believe these behavior to be possible.
48. Mental illness can't be identified easily. While healthy teens without illness do have strong and frequent emotional fluctuations, mental illness can present similar symptoms. Parents should seek assistance from psychologists when they or their teens have any concern, especially if the symptoms are getting worse.
49. If you have no other choice, sit down and talk with him. Come to an agreement on how he will come back to visit his friends and how he will be able to keep in touch with them. Get him involved in deciding which school he will attend at the new place. Tell him everyone will meet changes and challenges in their life.
50. There are many dangers associated with drinking during the teenage years. Alcohol can affect
your judgment. Drinkers then may make decisions that put their own and others' health and safety at risk. Teenagers themselves admit that when they drink they often behave in ways they later regret. This behavior can range from acting stupidly to saying something rude to a friend or relative.

46. Start by making your own plan on the weekend. Invite all your friends, including her, and stick to it. Even if she fails to come, you'll still be having fun with everyone else who decides to show up. Then the next time she invites you to do something but then cancels the plan, take the opportunity to say.
47. All teens need a certain amount of physical activity to maintain their health, whether they are overweight or not. However, sedentary habits are commonplace among teens. A key step is to make physical activity casier to do. People adopt new behavior when they want to perform these behavior and believe these behavior to be possible.
48. Mental illness can't be identified easily. While healthy teens without illness do have strong and frequent emotional fluctuations, mental illness can present similar symptoms. Parents should seek assistance from psychologists when they or their teens have any concern, especially if the symptoms are getting worse.
49. If you have no other choice, sit down and talk with him. Come to an agreement on how he will come back to visit his friends and how he will be able to keep in touch with them. Get him involved in deciding which school he will attend at the new place. Tell him everyone will meet changes and challenges in their life.
50. There are many dangers associated with drinking during the teenage years. Alcohol can affect
your judgment. Drinkers then may make decisions that put their own and others' health and safety at risk. Teenagers themselves admit that when they drink they often behave in ways they later regret. This behavior can range from acting stupidly to saying something rude to a friend or relative.

As for us teenagers, it is understandable for us to pay some attenuon to our outer appearance. However, more efforts should be made to improve our inner beauty. Good looks will not last long since beauty fades, bnt inner beauty — love, kindness and compassion that come from one's heart — lasts forever.
To improve my inner beauty, first, I always study hard to gain as much knowledge as possible. Second, I make efforts to improve my interpersonal relationships. When communicating with
others, I smile a lot, take a positive attitude and act honestly. Most importantly, I'm always ready to help people who are in need.
