His grandfather and his father were ocean explorers and documentary filmmakers. Fabien spent his early years on his grandfather's ships. Today, Fabien follows in his family's footsteps to protect the planet's endangered ocean life. With his vast knowledge and experience, he tries to strike a balance between environmental problems and market economies.‎ ‎ Fabien is well known for his study of sharks. During 2000-2002, he created a TV special called Attack of the Mystery Shark based on the shark attacks that occurred along the New Jersey shoreline in the summer of 1916. Then in 2003-2006, with the help of a large crew, Fabien created a shark submarine (潜艇) that enabled him to put himself inside the shark world, providing people with a rare view of the mysterious and often misunderstood creatures.‎ ‎ For the next four years (2006-2010), Fabien was part of a series called, Ocean Adventures, which offered a rare look into some of the most fantastic ocean species (物种) and environments.‎ ‎ In 2010, Fabien started Plant A Fish, a nonprofit project for children to help restore local water ecosystems by replanting key ocean species. Save the world, one fish at a time. The project is still in progress now and its final goal is to plant 1 billion “fish” worldwide.‎ From June 1 to July 2, 2014, Fabien and his team spent 31 days underwater to research how climate change and pollution are affecting the oceans. Fabien's Mission 31 broke new ground by going deeper, longer and further, exposing (显露) the world to the adventure and the mystique (神秘) of what lies beneath.‎ ‎ Fabien is currently working on a documentary film about the adventures of Mission 31, as well as building an Ocean Learning Center to provide children around the world with the opportunity to learn about oceans and engage with ocean explorers directly through social media.‎ ‎24.What does the underlined expression “follows in his family's footsteps” probably mean? A. Changes his family's condition. B. Continues his family's career. C. Abandons his family members. D. Works in his family's company. 25.How is Paragraph 2 developed? A. By providing facts. B. By offering analyses. C. By making comparisons. D. By drawing conclusions. 26.We can learn from the text that ________. A. Fabien's “Plant A Fish” project has already achieved its final goal B. Fabien's Mission 31 broke the records of former ocean explorations C. Fabien's TV special about sharks is based on his childhood experiences D. it took Fabien four years to produce Ocean Adventures all on his own 27.In which part of a website can we read the text? A. Modern Technology. B. Space Exploration. C. Outstanding Figures. D. Fantastic Wildlife.‎ ‎ C Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.‎ ‎ Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup (基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.‎ ‎ Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.‎ ‎ Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in space.‎ ‎ While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but ‎ knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.‎ ‎ While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.‎ ‎28.Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1? A. To express his doubts B. To compare different ideas C. To describe the conditions on Earth. D. To introduce points for discussion. 29.The underlined word “spin-offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to______. A. survival chances B. potential resources C. unexpected benefits D. physical possessions 30.What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets? A. Our genetic makeup. B. Resources on the earth. C. The adaptive ability of humans. D. By-products in space exploration. 31.Which of the statements can best sum up the passage? A. Space exploration has created many wonders. B .Space exploration provided the best value for money. C. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth. D. Space exploration can benefit science and technology.‎ D Since the beginning of the year, smog(雾霾) has covered parts of North China. In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM 2.5 readings terrified many people, and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory (呼吸系统)and heart diseases.‎ ‎ Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe. So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.‎ ‎ Smog is especially a common concern. As a popular online post said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or profession. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.‎ ‎ At a meeting on Monday, many representatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. "After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black We should ask ourselves this question: Why do we want to develop? It's for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life," he said.‎ ‎ China needs to develop its economy and invest (投资) in hightech. Every Chinese has a dream to make China stronger. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy will become meaningless. Space technologies are not to ‎ be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can move to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth.‎ ‎ What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China. The great efforts must be made to promote W5P2 ecological progress and build a beautiful China. The words have shown the central government's determination to address the environment issue.‎ ‎32.The effect of smog doesn't include A. the increase of people's income B. more people suffering diseases C. the rising of PM 2.5 readings D. patients increasing in hospital 33.Why has smog become a common concern? A. Because people have to pay higher prices. B. Because a popular onlinepost discussed it. C. Because we have to develop industry. D. Because nobody can avoid it. 34.The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 5 refers to" ". A. space technologies B. other planets C. human beings D. industrial development. 35.From the last two paragraphs we can infer that . A. hightech can completely solve the problem of pollution B. space technologies should be developed on a large scale. C. we can move to Mars after the earth has been destroyed D. we must protect the environment while developing economy.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ Interruptions are one of the worst things to deal with while you’re trying to get work done. 36_________,there are several ways to handle things.
