2． The Pennine Way is a 469-kilometre walking path which runs from the Peak District in Derby shire to just inside the Scottish border.Some people see this trail as an opportunity to take a pleasant day's hike on a small section of the route，but eighteen-year-old David Lemming saw it as a challenge."I'd come across a great account of hiking the whole trail，written a few years ago，and I was determined to do it myself.A friend was going with me，but he changed his mind.So I promised my parents I'd check in daily on my mobile."
Things went perfectly for the first week.Since many people used the trail，he was constantly meeting fellow hikers，so he never felt desolate."But then it got really stormy，"he says，"so a lot of people gave up.I could go for hours without seeing anyone at all.But as long as I had my mobile，I wasn't really worried about anything bad happening."
Unfortunately，something bad did happen.During a particularly heavy rain storm，David slipped in the mud，went off the edge of the trail and fell about ten metre down the hill."I realized I'd broken my arm immediately.Then I found that my mobile had fallen out of my pocket.And when I tried to get up to look for it，I couldn't stand up at all.My leg was injured too."
All he could do was to shout for help."I yelled until my throat was sore，"he says."And nothing happened.But then I saw a head at the top of the hill-someone had heard me.A man came down，saw the state I was in and called for help.At the hospital，even the doctors were impressed at how much of the trail I'd covered.I felt really proud."Will he try to walk the trail again？"Absolutely，"he says."It's a fantastic place，and nothing can keep me away."
（1）Where did David get the idea of hiking the trail？

3．The new Netflix documentary Seaspiracy highlights the damaging effects of fishing on the world's oceans.The documentary is narrated and directed by British filmmaker Ali Tabrizi as he discovers fishing to be the ocean's biggest threat.
While perhaps produced with good intentions，Seaspiracy fails to provide a critical angle to the problems it unveils.Instead，the film tries to encourage anger.Still，many disturbed viewers are taking the bait（誘餌）and announcing plans to stick to the film's call to action：to stop eating fish.But Seaspiracy's use of lies and half-truths may ultimately set the ocean conservation movement backward for the sake of attention.
Seaspiracy presents information at a pace too fast to fully grasp，let alone critically evaluate.The film's "just trust me" attitude runs against today's culture of facts，science，and truth.Yet many who watch appear all-in on Seaspiracy's tale：everything you know about the seafood industry is a lie.Even well-known environmentalists and conservation organizations have expressed support for Seaspiracy despite holding themselves to higher standards of scientific accuracy and inclusive solution building.Why support a documentary that does not take much care in painting an accurate portrait of the oceans nor the best way to help protect them？
Perhaps for them，the cost-benefit analysis came out in favor of supporting the film.Even if it's full of lies and half-truths，maybe the documentary is still good overall if it introduces people to ocean issues and inspires a desire to make a difference.
Yet，a few ocean-focused non-profits may be supporting the documentary out of fear.Seaspiracy successfully painted a number of non-profits unfavorably.The film implies the Plastic Pollution Organization is hiding the amount of plastic fishing gear（設(shè)備） that ends up in the ocean.（The film states fishing gear is a leading cause of plastic pollution in many parts of the ocean.While fishing gear does contribute to ocean plastic，it only accounts for about 10% of all plastic in the ocean.）
（1）What is Seaspiracy mainly about？
A．What to do to prevent fishing.
B．How to develop fishing industry.
C．How fishing damages the oceans.
D．What bad effects fish have on the oceans.
（2）Why do famous environmentalists support Seaspiracy？
A．They think it is at least educational.
B．They can earn some money by doing so.
C．They think it is full of lies and half-truths.
D．They have higher standards of scientific accuracy.
（3）What is the author's general attitude towards Seaspiracy？
A．Critical.
B．Cautious.
C．Supportive.
D．Contradictory.
（4）Why does the author mention "fishing gear" in the last paragraph？
A．To explain a rule.
B．To clarify a point.
C．To solve a problem.
D．To make a prediction.組卷：2引用：2難度：0.3

Initially，I totally believed that Daddy wanted a boy.I could just imagine his disappointment when I was born.What always frustrated me was that he never tried hiding his feelings from me.He had hoped a boy who would help him with the farm and finally step into his shoes.But a girl…
I tried to do everything just to please Daddy.Not only did I get up early to help with the housework，but also some tidy work on the farm.What's more，I went home straight from school，expecting that I was needed.But he didn't seem to be moved by those at all，let alone putting on a smile.
The year I turned thirteen was the 100th birthday of our town.The town council decided to hold a parade（游行），and they wanted a young lady who could lead the parade.The families in the area were asked to send pictures of their children.Every parent in the area hoped that their daughter would be chosen，every parent except Daddy.
Mommy sent in a picture of me without telling me.I was always so busy being the boy Daddy wanted，and I never considered having the chance to lead the parade.So it was quite a surprise when the town council stopped by one evening to tell us I had been chosen.Mommy was excited.As I anticipated，Daddy showed no interest in the matter.
The day of the big parade finally arrived.I was dressed in a beautiful white dress.At first I felt shy-I'd hardly ever worn dresses.But soon I felt like a princess in a fairy tale.
注意：
