Ⅰ.阅读理解
Like colourful corals,they rocked gently in the ocean current.Only these were not beautiful natural reefs grown over centuries.They were plastic bags,stuck to the Aegean Sea floor since a waste site slid into the water eight years ago.
A team of divers and environmentalists pulled thousands of plastic bags from the water near Greece's Andros Island this month.The workers described what they found as a “gulf full of plastic corals”.
Seas polluted with plastic have become one of the most shocking signs of human damage to the planet.“It was a very scary thing to see,”said Arabella Ross,a volunteer diver with Aegean Rebreath.The group carries out underwater and coastal cleanups.“It really shook me and I think it really shook everyone who saw it,”she added.
The Mediterranean is among the seas with the highest levels of plastic pollution in the world,the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) said in a report in June.Greece produces about 700,000 tons of plastic waste a year,or about 68 kilos per person.About 11,500 tons enter its seas every year.Almost 70% of that returns to the Greek coast,one of the longest in the world.The sea pollution off Andros is thought to date back to 2011,when heavy rain caused a waste site to collapse.Most of the waste fell into the sea.
Aegean Rebreath divers removed blue,black and yellow plastic bags caught between reefs and among fish.It was “like the paradise of the Caribbean Sea,where you find coral reefs everywhere of every colour.It was the exact same thing,but instead of corals it was bags,”diver Arabella Ross said.
The team managed to remove only a small part of the plastic waste they found.They also pulled up 300 kilograms of old fishing traps—known as “ghost nets”—from Andros.In a separate operation in June off Salamina,a small island near Athens,they removed two tons.
“If people are wondering where their rubbish ends up,we see it each time we go into the water,”Ross said.

Ⅱ.完形填空
There he was, turning the corner of Hawley and Main Street like clockwork. His red hair seemed to catch the sunlight, giving his head a soft candleflame glow. He caught my eye, and up went his arm in his usual wave. As usual, I 1 back and gave him a warm smile. I didn't know his name, but he was very 2 to everybody. No matter the weather, I saw him walking out there almost every day.
Having moved from a larger city, I wasn't used to waves from 3 . Actually, wherever we were, people hardly 4 each other. We simply passed by each other, heads down, minding our own 5 .
Perhaps that's why I enjoyed these daily waves. It felt great to be 6 and receive that message of “Hello!”. On days when we didn't 7 to pass each other, I missed him and wondered if he was all right. The next day, I'd find myself driving with one eye on the 8 . It was a happy reunion when I spotted him, and I'd wave first in my 9 .
One night I was walking in the street, my thoughts traveled to “The Waver”, wondering if I could be 10 enough to wave at people I didn't know.
Just at the point, I heard a car 11 . I made eye contact with the person in the car, smiled and waved at her. The woman's face 12 , and she waved back. I was a little surprised. I reminded myself, “It's okay. It's actually kind of 13 !” I waved to everyone I saw the rest of the way home.
Everyone at some point in their lives wonders if they've made any 14 on the world. I can tell you that you don't have to change the world 15 . It's enough to help sweeten it a little, even simply by a heartwarming wave.
