Recently I found a donation box in my neighborhood. People come to them when they have old clothes, bags, newspapers and books donate.
This box, I think, was of great significance. My mother buys me a lot of clothes, and I grow so fast. Much clothes don’t fit for me any longer. I’ve got no ideas about how to deal with the clothes which are real new and still in good condition. However, with this donation box, I can help those people in need.

15. From her lifeguard station at the end of the pool, Jessica noticed clouds forming, the wind picking up and the sky darkening. The pool manager announced over the loudspeaker that the pool is closing immediately, asking everyone to head to the safety of home before the storm hit.
All the swimmers had left by 3 :30 except Jessica's neighbor, eight-year-old Zack. Zack's mother had planned to pick him up after work, but the storm was coming fast. Jessica decided to drop Zack off on her way home, She taped a note for Ms Hill on the door of the pool office and headed out.
The minute Jessica and Zack left the parking lot, it was clear that this was no ordinary storm. Jessica said, “Zack, I'm going to take you to my house. We need to get inside right away, and your house is farther away than mine." She pressed the garage-door opener, but nothing happened. The electricity was out. The front door was only a few feet away, but the wind was so strong that Jessica and Zack had to fight their way into the house. Jessica held Zack's hand firmly. The door was heavy with the pressure of the wind. Finally, it opened, but it was blown out of Jessica's hand and hit the side of the house. The window broke into pieces. Jessica picked up Zack and threw the two of them inside; her only thought was to get to a safe place.
Remembering everything she could from her emergency training, Jessica took Zack to the completely dark basement. Jessica held Zack's trembling hand tightly. Feeling their way with great caution, they sat down in a corner finally. Outside, the lightning flashed, the thunder roared, and the furious wind howled, which threatened to put the world to an end. Feeling overwhelmingly scared, little Zack burst into tears, saying, “I miss my mom." Jessica held him in her arms, saying, “Honey, don't be afraid! Everything will be all right.”
After a final crash, the sound of the storm grew distant. Jessica sighing with relief, the pair hugged each other and shed tears of excitement.

文章由詹姆斯·卡梅隆的一次潜航经历引入，从气候变化、环境污染等不同方面描述了海洋生态系统正在遭受的巨大破坏，告诫人们提高对海洋环境的重视。

16. In 2012, James Cameron, creator of A vatar and Titanic, became the first person to reach the Challenger Deep. When he arrived at the deepest spot on Earth at 7 miles below sea level, he spent hours mapping the region and taking photos and samples.
“As human beings, we’re drawn to absolutes—the deepest, the highest, the coldest, the farthest.” he says. “And as a storyteller and curious monkey, I just wanted to see what was there.” The answer is obvious—plastic and more. “Our so-called civilization is using the ocean as its toilet,”Cameron says. “Unless this changes, ocean ecosystems are going to continue their rapid collapse.”
Despite decades of environmental studies, the impact of plastic and other forms of pollution on oceans are not entirely understood. Initial studies appear to indicate that ingesting them-either directly or indirectly-could cause disease. Plastics can also release poisonous substances into the water, which could potentially impact animal populations.
But plastic is just one of the problems facing oceans that have yet to be fully understood. “Plastic waste in the ocean is horrifying but is only the most obvious of our many deadly waste streams, which include carbon that’s heating the atmosphere and making the ocean acidic, and the run-off nutrients from all the world’s agriculture, which is causing anoxic dead zones the size of countries,” Cameron says.
Oceans, like the rest of the world, are impacted by the burning of fossil fuels and the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide-about 30 percent of which is absorbed by the sea. This absorption causes ocean acidification, where the pH level is altered to become more acidic. As a result, it’s harder for some creatures to form shells and skeletons and countless species at the base of the food web can struggle to survive, which, scientists say, has the potential to cause huge disruptions to entire ecosystems. Indeed, ocean acidification is thought to have played an important role in Earth’s worst-ever mass extinction event 252 million years ago.
The effect of climate change on the world’s oceans will likely worsen in coming decades. Last June, scientists announced carbon dioxide levels had reached the highest levels since human records began. The last time carbon dioxide levels were this high was during the Pliocene era, between 3 and 5 million years ago, when global temperatures were about 4 degrees Celsius warmer than they are today. Current climate models suggest that if greenhouse gas emissions continue on their current trend, we may be on course to see 4 degrees of warming by 2100.
As a result, understanding the role oceans have on global systems is becoming more and more important.
1. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?
A．The author’s feelings to the ocean.B．Cameron’s movies and remarks.
C．The authors discoveries under the sea.D．Cameron’s observation and concern.
2. According to the passage, which of the followings is not the problem for the oceans?
A．Poisonous streams.B．Run-off nutrients.C．Plastic waste.D．Carbon.
3. What can we infer from the passage?
A．Several countries are suffering from anoxic dead zones.
B．More concern should have been given to the pollution on oceans.
C．Plastic is supposed to be the most serious environmental problem.
D．Ocean acidification removes the nutrients from agricultural products.
4. What does the underlined word “disruptions” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Decreases.B．Destruction.C．Diseases.D．Discrimination.
5. Why does the author mention the mass extinction event 252 million years ago?
A．To call on people to protect sea animals.
B．To compare current situations with the past.
C．To explain how serious the ocean problem is.
D．To prove pollution to be the cause of acidification.

文章主要介绍了美国的风暴是如何命名的及为什么要为风暴命名。

17. What do Gladys, Ruby and Logan all have in common? Well, they are all names of storms. 1 Here’s everything you need to know.
Why are storms named?
2 It’s simply to make people more aware when severe weather is on the way, with the idea being you’ll hear the name and you’ll know
serious wind, rain or snow is coming. That way, people are better placed to keep themselves and their property safe.
3
A name is given when a storm is expected to cause medium or high impacts, or in weather-speak (气候语言), has the potential to cause an amber
or red warning. 4 So scientists believe that naming storms helps raise awareness of the impacts of severe weather and ensures clarity (清晰) for the public when they need it most.
How are the names chosen?
The Met Office asks the public to suggest possible names and a new list is published every year. The lists are alphabetical (按字母顺序排列的), with names alternating between male and female. Bad news is if your name begins with Q, U, X, Y or Z, you’re never going to get a storm named after you. 5 In the US, hurricanes are often given clear and simple names, alphabetically as well.
A．When is a storm named?
B．But how do storms get their names?
C．There’s quite a logical explanation for naming a storm.
D．The practice is to avoid a conflict with US hurricane naming traditions.
E．Giving storms names is one way to keep the public informed of potential risks.
F．These warnings are issued for things like rain, wind, snow, ice, fog and extreme heat.
G．When a storm arrives, forecasters will alphabetically pick the next name from the list.
