Could it be the hidden cache? At that moment a group of backpackers arrived. According to the games rules, people who are not in the game must not be allowed to find out about secret cachesSo I pretended to make a phone call while waiting for them to leaveWhen the coast was clear, I took the objectIt was the cache! I opened it and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper with several names and celebratory messages written on itI added my own and replaced the cache in its hiding place, ready for the next geocacher to find It may seem like a simple game, but the idea that there are caches hidden all around us is excitingOnce you start, its easy to set yourself the goal of finding every single cache in a neighborhood or even a cityThe real treasure, however, is not the cache itself, but the places it takes you to Hunting for further caches has since introduced me to places which I didnt even knowSome are peaceful parks, while others are forgotten historical sitesA few caches have even been in places I passed regularly without giving them any thoughtNow, I feel a much closer connection24What was the authors attitude to geocaching at the beginning?

AHe has mastered hunting BHe has found much treasure CHe has made more friends DHes more familiar with the cityCMost people would say the sea is blue and green. But the people who live near the coast of Zhejiang may say it is red. It is not people who caused the color change, but very small living thing in the sea. They are algae（藻類）and protozoa（微生物）. They e in many different colors: red, yellow or brown. Red is the easiest of those to see, so when this happens, people call it a “red tide.” Red tides only happen when conditions in the sea are right. In the past few years, factories and people have been putting more chemicals into the sea. These chemicals help algae and protozoa to grow very quickly. The temperature of the sea is also important. Red tides usually happen at 20 to 30 degrees. Red tides often happen in dry, warm areas where there is little wind. Living things grow easily in these places. Sometimes fishermen help red tides by mistake. They put small sea animals into the water for food to help fish grow. Those living things do more than change the color of the water-they also put poison and mucus into the sea. This is had for fish. The poison is bad for their brains. And too much mucus in the sea fills up fishs gills (鰓), so they cant live. Lots of dead fish and other sea animals are now washed up on Chinese beaches. Red tides can be bad for people, too. We shouldnt eat fish from red-tide waters. The algae gets inside of fish and it smells bad. It can make your eyes water. If people eat fish with too much algae inside, they could die. Fishermen in Zhejiang are having a hard time right now. Because of the red tide, they are selling 30% less fresh seafood than usual. In China, red tides usually happen in May and June around places like Fujian, Guangdong and Hong Kong. Many other countries sometimes also have red tides. But it seems that we have few ways to stop red tides. They can last as long as 16 months.28. What can cause the water in the sea to change its color? A. Algae.B. Algae and protozoa C.Protozoa. D.

In winter and spring C. In July and August D. In summer and autumn31. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. The forming of red tides and their harmfulness. B. People should do their best to protect the sea. C. The scientists have found good ways to stop red tides. D. Dont eat any fish with algae and mucus inside.D Never Talk to Strangers?“Never talk to strangers.” Many children are taught this simple rule as a protection against abduction(誘拐). In June, 2017, an 11-year-old boy was lost in the Utah wilderness for four days. During that time, he stayed on the path. He saw people searching for him but hid from them on purpose, afraid someone might “steal” him. Finally, the unfortunate game of hide-and-seek ended and he was found. According to the Canada Safety Council, this frightening incident shows how unwise it is to introduce a fear of strangers in children. The “stranger danger” message can prevent children from developing the social skills and judgment needed to deal effectively with real-life situations. In a difficult situation, a stranger could be their lifeline to safety.To have a child go missing is a parents worst nightmare. The danger of abduction by a stranger is minimal when pared with other possible reasons for a disappearance. In 2017, there were 67,266 missing-children cases in Canada. Only 31 involved abduction; in most of those cases the abductor was a relative, friend, or person known to the family. There were 671 cases of children wandering off, and 332 cases of abductions by a parent. Almost 80 percent of all cases were runaways. These statistics cast doubt on the idea that children should never talk to strangers. Wandering off is more monbut a lost children may have to turn to a stranger for help, and must develop the ability to judge what kind of people to approach. The “never talk to strangers” rule does not protect children in the situations they are most likely to face. On top of this, it can be confusing. Adults do not model the behavior; they often talk to strangers. A child may not know how to tell who is a stranger, and who is not.For young children, nothing replaces close supervision(監(jiān)管). Pre-schoolers do not understand risk and are likely to act without thinking. Children need to develop habits and attitudes that will protect them from the real threats and dangers they may face. The Canada Safety Council encourages parents to give their children age-suitable positive messages about safety, keeping in mind how youngsters may understand their world.32. Among the possible reasons for the missing-children cases in Canada, which one is the most frequent?A. Being abducted by a parent. B. Wandering off.C. Being abducted by strangers. D. Running away.33. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the 11-year-old boy?A. He practiced the “never talk to strangers” rule.B. He hid from the rescuers to avoid possible abduction.C. He eventually showed up when his hide-and-seek game ended.D. He stayed where he was, expecting the ing of familiar people.34. Which would the author agree with about the “never talk to strangers” rule?A. It is not well recognized by parents.B. It is easy enough for children to follow.C. It is not effective in keeping kids safe.D. It is practical as a safety tip in daily life.35. The“never talk to strangers” rule is confusing to children because _.A. adults do not act on the rule and strangers are hard to tell B. a friendly and attractive person may be dangerousC. the rule does not protect children in the situation of abductingD. a lost child may have difficulty in municating with a stranger第2節(jié) (共五小題；每小題5分，滿分10分) 根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出填入空白的最佳選項，選項中有兩項為多余選項。Youve got the part, so you must be able to act!
