Kizilkaya's mission began in 2007,following a diving adventure in Gokova Bay,a 62-mile-long gulf in the center of the Turquoise Coast.He had returned to his native Turkey after several years working as a researcher and underwater photographer in Indonesia and was shocked by the marine degradation. According to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization,the Mediterranean is the world's most overfished sea Realizing the seriousness of the problem,he decided to take action at once and try to persuade local fishers.Getting the support of fishers was the biggest challenge,but because of the dire situation,some started to listen.In 2012, Kizilkaya established Turkey's first community-managed MPA in Gokova Bay. He trained local fishers as marine rangers who could monitor the waters for illegal fishing and send alerts to the Turkish Coast Guard.Thanks to his work,Gokova Bay's marine ecosystem has made a great comeback.According to the ocean protection charity Blue Marine Foundation,the number of fish per square meter has increased ten times since 2012 and incomes for local fishers have increased 400%. "Gokova Bay became a great example for protecting the ocean,"says Kizilkaya.His success helped him persuade the Turkish government to spread the MPA network southeastward along 310 miles of Turkish coastline "I'd like to see MPAs established across Turkey and the entire Mediterranean,andI hopemy work has opened people's eyes to the crisis underwater and what we can do to solve it,"Kizilkaya adds 24.What can we know about the Turquoise Coast?

C.Monitoring the illegal fishing in person D.Increasing the incomes of local fishers. 27.Which of the following best describes Kizilkaya? A.Humorous and warm-hearted. B.Determined and eco-conscious. C.Independent and long-sighted. D.Persevering and bio-thoughtful. C There's little doubt that participating in sports brings many health benefits for kids.According to a recent study, boys who play sports during their early childhood are less likely to experience emotional stress,including signs of 英语试题·第4页（共10页） depression and anxiety,later in life compared to boys who didn't participate in sports Marie-losee Harbec did the research for the study as a doctoral student.Along with her professor,she analyzed data taken from a Quebec group of 690 boys and 748 girls who were born in 1997 and 1998.The information they looked at was reported by parents of the children and included the kids'physical activity at 5-year old and 12-year old.They also reviewed reports from the children's teachers about signs of emotional stress seen in the kids from ages 6 to 10 years. The researchers discovered that participating in sports in preschool might help boys develop life skills,such as joining in teamwork,practicing self-control and building supportive relationships.Besides,they discovered that joining in sports helps boys with their emotional health,and that emotionally well boys join more often in physical activity. However,the researchers didn't find any obvious relationship between girls'participation in sports and their emotional health.She points to one explanation being that girls are more likely than boys to look for help from and share their emotional stress with family,friends,or healthcare providers. While the researchers didn't measure whether the kids they analyzed were good at the sport they joined in,they did measure their physical fitness at age 12.They discovered that bays whohad lower levels of depressive and anxiety signs between ages 6 to 10 years were the ones who were the most physically fit at age 12."We could say that physically active kids probably have better physical fitness,"says Harbec. Harbec believes schools should provide different after-class team sports and physical activities beginning in kindergarten.She says:"Parents also should join in promoting physical activity and sport participation among youth by acting as role models and taking part in their children's activities." 28.Why does the author mention the children's parents and teachers in Paragraph 2? A.To show the only way to get data. B.To show the support for the research. C.To show the collected data were reliable D.To show the information was hard to get. 29.Why do girls fail to get obvious mental health benefits from sports? A.They are much emotionally stronger than boys.B.They are better at getting psychological support. C.They have a larger and better social circle in life.D.They are used to emotional stress earlier than boys. 30.What is Harbec's advice for parents? A.Spend more time with children. B.Look for a role model for children. C.Force children to exercise regularly. D.Keep physically active with their children 31.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Girls benefit more from regular exercise. B.Exercise frequency influences children's mental health. C.Sports competence is connected with less depression risk. 英语试题·第5页（共10页） D.Boys'childhood sports prevent later anxiety and depression D New research from the University of Hawai'i (UH)revealed traditional Hawaiian fishponds (loko i'a)could effectively keep fish populations from the negative impacts of climate change.The research was published in the recent issue of Ocean Sustainability. Loko i'a are traditional Hawaiian fishponds built along coastal areas or river mouths.These fishponds have been used for centuries.They use carefully constructed walls to trap seawater while allowing freshwater to flow in,creating a controlled environment for fish:This design not only supports sustainable fish farming but also reflects the ecological knowledge and cultural practices of Hawaiian communities. "We found that although rising water temperature may lead to declines in fish populations,loko i'a fish populations were more resistant to rising water temperatures than those in the surrounding estuary(江河入海的河口 )This result is likely due to the temperature regulation that loko i'a receives from freshwater input,both at the surface and below the ground.The temperature differences we detected are meaningful for fish productivity,"said lead author Annie Innes-Gold,a recent PhD graduate from the UH. "These findings highlight how important freshwater inputs are as a source of temperature regulation,"said Innes- Gold."They also support the importance of biocultural restoration in terms of enhancing fish populations and increasing social-ecological resistance in a changing climate." For Hawai'i,the findings demonstrate the value that traditional knowledge and systems have in guiding modern science."Loko i'a are a system unique to Hawai'i,and their restoration can have wide-reaching benefits including cultural preservation,education,healthy ecosystems,food security,and now-from what we found in our study- also climate resistance,"said Innes-Gold. 32.What did the study find about loko i'a? A.They face rising temperature challenges. B.They have a great diversity of fish species. C.They are able to resist climate change impacts. D.They receive water supply from local estuaries. 33.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A.Summarize the previous paragraph. B.Introduce a new topic for discussion. C.Provide some background information. D.Offer an example for the next paragraph. 34.What comparisons between loko i'a and the surrounding bay did the researchers make? A.Their fish behavior. B.Their daily fish catch. C.Their natural nutrients. D.Their water temperatures. 35.Which can be a suitable title for the text? A.Ancient Practices Inspire Modern Solutions. B.Hot Weather Threatens Hawaiian Traditions. C.Fishery Development Ensures Food Security. D.Freshwater Inputs Reduce Sea Fish Numbers. 英语试题·第6页（共10页） 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Being a school cleaner at Trinity High School in Euless,Texas may not seem like a highly visible position. 36 "If I clean a toilet,I make sure it is done perfectly.You can rest assured that it will be the cleanest one you ever use,"said Charles Clark 37 He also provides students with care and guidance.Not long after he started working at Trinity 25 years ago,Clark began paying special attention to certain students-those who might be in need of extra support.

"Is this Sarah?"a woman's voice whispered,trembling."I just...I needed to hear a voice.I'm sorry if I woke you." I rubbed my eyes,irritation rising."Wrong number,ma'am.There's no Sarah here." "Oh,"she breathed,the disappointment heavy even through the static ()"I'm sorry.I just...my daughter passed away last week,and I keep reaching for the phone,thinking she'll answer." The imitation vanished,replaced by a cold ache in my chest.I looked at the clock,then at the empty chair across from me where my own mother used to sit before the cancer took her three years ago.I knew that silence.I knew the desperate need to fill it. "Ma'am,"I said,my voice suddenly steady."My name is Elena.I don't know Sarah,but I'm here." There was a long pause,then a soft sob."I'm Martha." We didn't talk about death.We talked about the rain against the window,the smell of old books,and how tea tastes better when you're not drinking it alone.For twenty minutes,I wasn't a stranger;I was a lifeline.When she finally whispered,"Thank you,Elena,"and hung up,I sat in the dark,the silence no longer empty,but full. I never called back.I didn't want to intrude (on her grief with my presence.But I kept the number in my phone,labeled simply:Martha. Months later,my phone lit up.It was her."Elena?"
