I dont think I can recall a time when I wasnt aware of the beauty of the ocean. Growing up in Australia， I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side. The first time I went to Halfmoon Bay， I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.

For my 10th birthday， my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef （大堡礁）. There were fish in different colors， caves and layers of coral. They made such an impression on me. When I learned that only 1 percent of Australias Coral Sea was protected， I was shocked. Australian marine （海洋的） life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth. But sadly， only 45% of the worlds reefs are considered healthy.

This statistic is depressing， so its important for us to do everything to protect them. The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete ecosystem has led me to take action. Ive become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity， which aims to create the largest marine park in the world. It would serve as a place where the oceans species will all have a safe place forever.

Together， Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be part of the movement. Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy， who grew up sailing， admiring the beauty of the ocean， and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.

24. What can we learn about the author from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1？

A. He seldom went surfing at the sea. B. He never went back to his hometown.

C. He forgot his experiences about the ocean. D. He had a wonderful impression of Halfmoon Bay.

25. What is Australian marine life like according to Paragraph 2？

A. It may be faced with danger. B. It depends on reefs for living greatly.

C. It is escaping from the Coral Sea gradually. D. It is protected better than that in other oceans.

26. Whats the purpose of the Protect Our Coral Sea activity？

A. To contribute to a complete ecosystem. B. To set up a large nature reserve for reefs.

B. To prevent more marine species being endangered. D. To raise more teenagers environmental awareness.

27. Why do Angus and the author create a little video？

A. To urge people to take action to protect the marine species.

B. To bring back to people their memory of ocean species.

C. To share their childhood experiences about the ocean.

D. To inspire people to explore the secret of the ocean.

Is war unavoidable？ Can war be prevented？

History tells that there were wars， great or small， in every century， in every decade. Throughout the ages， from the Stone Age to the Atomic Age， men have been fighting， first with swords and shields， then with guns and cannons， and now， hydrogen bombs and missiles （導(dǎo)彈） are used for military purpose. But， in spite of all these， it is still my belief that war can be prevented and peace can be won， but it requires the effort of every one of us.

I am sure that we would not like to experience another world war. If it ever happens， two-thirds of the world and much of the civilization which men have gained through time， patience and effort will be destroyed. Will then the remaining one-third of the world be able to survive on its own？

Our task now is not to blame the past， but to plan for the future.

If there is peace in the world， men can use their rockets to explore the mystery of space， their submarines to explore the depth of the sea， their missiles to deliver mails and their fine equipment to penetrate （穿透） the jungles of Africa， instead of using them militarily.

Governments can use their money to build more schools， so that more children can be educated to be useful citizens. Scientists can use atomic energy to propel （推動） steamships and planes. They can also design new machines to increase the production of goods and thus improve the way of living of the people.

How can a peaceful world be achieved？ It requires， in my opinion， the understanding and friendship between all people from all nations. Let no one suffer discrimination by reason of color， race， religion， or national origin. Let the rich support the poor and the strong help the weak.

We know that neither peace nor such a dream world can come true in a day or a month. It may even take decades or centuries. But let us plan and begin now.

28. Whats the writers opinion according to Paragraph 2？

A. Another world war is unavoidable. B. It is almost impossible to achieve peace soon.

C. Wars will always exist in the world. D. Peace can be won if everyone makes effort.

29. What can we infer from Paragraph 5？

A. Wars were not expensive in the past.

B. Wars can promote the development of weapons.

C. Things for military use can be useful for peaceful purpose.

D. As long as there are wars， peoples way of living cannot be improved.

30. What does the author support publicly when talking about peace？

A. Spend more money educating children. C. Call on people to help each other.

B. Stop military exploration. D. Act for it right now.

31. What can be the best title of the text？

A. War or Peace—It Depends on Ourselves B. Understanding and Friendship

C. The Past and the Future D. To Die or to Survive

In Singapore， buses have been given the green light to find new ways to reduce emissions （排放） and improve the air quality of their services.

Last month， GWS Living Art， a company specializing in urban green structures installed （安裝） green roofs on 10 public buses. While a bus might not seem like the typical location for a green roof， the installation could provide environmental and economic benefits. According to research by Michigan State University， green roofs are great at reducing polluting emissions， providing space for nature and cooling cities through the water that evaporates （蒸發(fā)） from their leaves and by shading surfaces that would otherwise absorb heat.

“While the powerful effect of green plants on buildings has been well documented， much less is known about the effects of them on moving vehicles，” said Tan Chun Liang， a research fellow at National University of Singapore who advises the “Garden on the Move” bus campaign. This bus campaign is part of a three-month study to test whether green plants can help lower the temperature inside the buses and reduce the amount of fuel needed to power the air-conditioning. Liang hopes the research will provide a possible solution for cities to fight against global warming and the Urban Heat Island （UHI） effect—when a city experiences much warmer temperatures than nearby rural areas， due to the heat produced and absorbed by industry， traffic and building materials.

To make Singapore a “Garden City”， the government has joined this bus campaign with other green projects such as the Green Mark Scheme which aims for 80% of buildings to be green by 2030 and Gardens by the Bay， an eco-friendly garden featuring solar-powered “supertrees” and over 1.5 million plants.

32. Why were green roofs installed on 10 public buses in Singapore？

A. To provide more space for plants to live in. B. To increase the diversity of species in Singapore.

C. To attract more people to use public transportation. D. To test green plants environmental and economic benefits.

33. How can green plants lower the temperature in cities？

A. By cleaning the air. B. By reflecting sunlight.

C. By absorbing greenhouse gases. D. By providing water and shade.

34. How many projects are mentioned to make Singapore a “Garden City”？

A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.

35. What can be the best title for the text？

A. Green Campaigns in Singapore B. An Eco-Friendly Garden

C. Green Roofs on Buses D. Impact of the Plants
