He developed a cough and fever on March 25 and was admitted to hospital on Tuesday.None of the people who came into close contact with the patients have developed symptoms of the flu, the health d

41、swimming in it , surfing its waves, watching it from shore and thinking about all the life living unseen under the surface.When I take my little kids to check out tide pools, were overjoyed when we find a sea star or some shellfish. Lately, though, Ive noticed a change in my favorite pools: there ar
42、e more sea grasses and fewer animals with shells. I cant help feeling these small changes portend something more troubling about our oceans. It matches what scientists are telling us: our oceans are being troubled by carbon dioxide that threatens corals, colorful fish, salmon, sea otters, even whale
43、s. Our oceans are facing a major change.Every hour, a million tons of carbon dioxide from cars, factories and power plants rain down on the worlds oceans. Carbon pollution brings about a chemical reaction that turns sea water more acidic (酸的) and takes away things important for sea animals . Some of
44、 us are already feeling the effects of this growing crisis（危机）. Shellfish farmers in the Pacific Northwest have a decrease in natural and farmed oysters(牡蛎). Just this week, a new proved the link between the huge reduction in the numbers of oysters and ocean acidification. As polar waters become mor
45、e acidic, Alaskan fishermen are troubled by the future of smaller fish. Without action, ocean acidification will have a disastrous influence on the food chain, affecting not only sea life but the people who depend on it for food and their living. Already, our oceans have become 30 percent more acidi
46、c since preindustrial times, and it gets worse every day. We can stop this frightening dream, but only if we act now. Thats why the Center for Biological Diversity has started a petition (请愿书) requesting President Obama and the Environmental Protection Agency to develop a plan to deal with ocean aci
47、dification. Decisive action can save sea life as we know it. Now it isnt too late to save our oceans and sea life. With immediate action to reduce carbon dioxide release we can start taking important steps today to deal with this disastrous situation. Join me in our petition calling for a national p
48、lan to save our oceans.57. The authors recent visits to the tide pool brought her _ .A. happiness B. anger C. concern D. comfort58. The underlined word “portend” in Paragraph 3 probably means _ . A. predict B. prevent C. replace D. reduce59. What the author worries about most is _ . A. the harm of s

To educate. C. To persuade . D. To instruct.D Have you ever hated anyone? Well, probably you dont really hate
50、them. But you do get angry the moment you think of them. If you dont get out of the anger, it may turn into bitterness(积怨). Bitterness can come about when we cant forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But we keep it deep inside instead of
51、working through the anger. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. The bitterness shows when we constantly criticize the one who hurt us. We may think we are hurting that person, but we are really only hurting ourselves. Bitterness is a harmful emotion that affects the whole body. It can lead
52、to serious health problems such as high blood pressure. Bitterness can stop us from concentrating on important things. Instead, we waste time thinking about how we have been hurt. Finally, holding on to bitterness can hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around
53、 an angry, negative person for very long. Author Chuck Swindoll once said, “ Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it.” That means when someone hurts you, your response is more important than what happened. You can choose to let go of hurt. You can also choose to hold on to hurt,
54、which results in bitterness. If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.Stop making excuses for it. You may feel you have a fight to be angry. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look sad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other perso
55、n.Forgive and forget it. The best thing you can do is to forgive and forget. You probably cant totally put the act out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Let it go and move on. Youll enjoy better health and peace of mind.61. If we dont release anger,_ .A. We will always be
56、 criticized and hurt B. We will not blame others for any reasonC. A bitter feeling will develop in our mind D. We will not be particular about what others do62. The main idea of Paragraph 3 is_.A.

58、 bad things from happening B. be friends with the person who hurts usC. forget the bitter experience completelyD. enjoy good health and a peaceful mind第二节：阅读下列短文，根据短文内内容，从A、B、C、D、E中，选出最适合放入短文空缺处的选项。选项中有一项是多余的。A.

59、study materialsE. Study in advanceTips on taking examsThe following are a few study tips for high school students and college students, which will help you answer your exam papers with confidence. 65. _ It is better to have all the study materials available to you before you start reading. This not
60、only includes your texts and notes but also the previous years notes and things like a dictionary and reference books. This has two advantages. Firstly, you do not need to break your concentration (专心) by searching for books. It saves time. Secondly, it gives you a feeling of being prepared for the
61、exams, as you have all the necessary things and the only thing left its to start studying .66. _ The most common mistake that students make is that they start studying a day or two before exams. You cant revise (复习) all the notes if you study only two days before exams. Therefore, what most of the s
62、tudents do is study only the “so-called” important points. As a result , even if the test paper is easy , you get a low score only because you dont know the entire syllabus （课程提纲）. So start studying at least a month before the exams.67. _ If you have descriptive subjects, do not just remember the an
63、swers. Try to understand what you are reading, for this is the best methods for good recall at the time of exams. The major disadvantage of reciting is that if you forget one word of the answer during your exam, you tend to go completely blank. On the contrary (相反地), if you understand the subjects w
64、ell, you can write the answer on your own at any time. For exams like math , practice at least five sums every day. Math cannot be learned in a day .68. _ The last tips is to study when you are in your best mentally active state. Some people are comfortable studying in the early morning, while some
