trip across the Atlantic Ocean on Sunday.The group said they returned home by boat instead of by airplane because ofcoronavirus travel restrictions.The students,ages14to17,were joined by12experienced crew members and three teachers.They had been taking part in an educational cruise of the Caribbean(加勒比海)when the coronavirus outbreak forced them to greatly change the way they returned home.The change in plans taught17-year-old Floor Hurkmans an important life lesson.“Being flexible,because everything is changing all the time,”she said.Instead of flying back home from Cuba as planned,the crew members and students gathered supplies and warm clothes.Then,they set sail for the Dutch port city of Harlingen,7,000kilometers away.Their boat,the Wylde Swan, arrived at Harlingen late Sunday morning.As they arrived,the students hung up a self-made sign on the boat that read“Bucket List”.It showed they had completed activities that included crossing the Atlantic Ocean,mid-ocean swimming and surviving the Bermuda Triangle,which is an area in the Atlantic where some people claim ships and planes have mysteriously disappeared.The students’family members were waiting for them at the port.Hurkmans’mother,Renee Scholtemeijer,said she expects her daughter to miss life on the open sea once she understands the coronavirus containment measures in the Netherlands.Masterskip,the company that organized the boat trip,runs five educational cruises for about150students each year.Crossing the Atlantic is nothing new for the Wylde Swan,which has made the trip about20times.The company’s director,Christophe Meijer,said the students were examined for signs of the coronavirus in March to make sure nobody was infected.He said he was pleased the students had adapted to life on the boat and had kept up their education on the long trip.“They are actually far ahead now of their Dutch school colleagues,”Meijer said.“They have made us very proud.”25.Why did the students take a boat rather than fly?A.Because they prefer a boat trip.B.Because of coronavirus travel restrictions.C.Because they can learn much in the trip on the sea.D.Because they want to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the sea.26.What important lesson did Floor Hurkmans learned from the experience?A.Being flexibleB.how to change everythingC.Enjoying the sea tripD.how to set sail on the sea27.Why did the students hung up the“Bucket List”sign on the boat?A.To sell all kinds of bucketsB.To show their parents the way.C.To express how they proud to complete the trip.D.To survive the Bermuda Triangle.28.What can we infer about the students on the boat trip?A.None of them got infected with coronavirusB.They had a terrible experience and would never have another.C.They missed their school education and were left behind their school colleagues.D.They adjusted to the life on the sea and got better education than their classmates.CAPPLE activated an interesting new function on its watch last month.The watch will perform a mobile electrocardiogram(ECG),which is part of an effort by Apple to make its watch“a guardian of health”.The ECG —which is only available in America at the moment—informs users of a condition called atrial fibrillation(心房颤动),an irregular heartbeat that can lead to conditions such as stroke or heart failure.The watch already tells users if they have a fast or slow heartbeat,and will call emergency services if they fall and fail to get up.Health and life insurance companies seem to think wearable devices can actually make users healthier.They are increasingly undertaking the cost of a range of wearables.Aetna and UnitedHealthcare,two big American health insurers(保险公司),recently created a plan that subsidised(补贴)the cost of Apple’s pricey watch.Customers of other insurers willing to upload their movement data can obtain a discount on health or life insurance.The more active they are,the greater the financial reward.But are these efforts any more than a trick?Wearables have long been a bit of a joke,with some complaining that their“time to drawer”—the time it takes for people to lose interest and abandon them—can be measured in months.Another insurance firm,the Vitality Group,set out to answer this question in2015when it started offering customers Apple Watches.The results of its study of400,000people were published recently,and are anything but a trick.Customers using the watch,along with rewards such as free coffee and cinema tickets,increased physical activity by34%over two years.Overweight customers showed larger gains.This represents a long-term change in behaviour and is a big deal for insurers and governments struggling with the rise in chronic diseases such as diabetes(糖尿病)and lung disease that is driven partly by a lack of physical activity.29.What is NOT the new functions of the APPLE watch?A.performing a mobile ECG.B.slow or speed their owners’heartbeat.rming users of an irregular heartbeat condition.D.calling emergency services if their owners fall down and can’t get up.30.Why do insurance companies undertake the cost of wearable devices?A.Because the staff need the wearable devices.B.Because the wearable devices can make them more active.C.Because they will obtain a discount on healthy or life insurance.D.Because they think the wearables can make the users healthier and thus reduce their payment.31.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Wearables are just a joke.B.The watch resulted in the rise in diseases such as diabetes and lung disease.C.The watch gradually changed users’behaviour so that their health improved.D.Overweight customers gained more reward such as free coffee and cinema tickets.DAs the COVID-19pandemic rages(肆虐),with ongoing lockdown measures affecting millions of people around the globe,levels of air pollution are falling dramatically in many parts of the world.This trend has been highlighted by a new report published by Swiss company IQAir looking at ten key global cities that normally suffer from high levels of pollution.The report compared measurements from ground-based monitoring stations regarding a type of pollutant known as PM2.5—tiny inhalable particles measuring2.5micrometers or smaller that are emitted(排放)by various sources such as vehicles and power plants.It found significant falls in nearly all the locations listed.This is,perhaps,not surprising considering the large decreases in vehicle traffic and industrial activity that have occurred with lockdown measures imposed(实施)on these cities.The report examined data collected over a three-week period for each city while they were under lockdown conditions.IQAir then compared these measurements to the same time period for the years between2016and2019.IQAir found that nine out of the ten cities in the report experienced significant reductions in PM2.5compared to the same period for2019.Those with historically higher levels of PM2.5pollution saw the greatest drops including New Delhi(-60percent,)Seoul(-54percent)and Wuhan(-44percent).Besides,seven of the cities saw reductionsin PM2.5of25to60percent compared to the same period last year.Wuhan—where the COVID-19pandemic was first identified—experienced the cleanest air on record for February and March.The city was placed under one of the strictest lockdowns in the world on January24,which was only lifted after10weeks.Unfortunately,these sharp improvements in air quality have coincided(同时发生)with significant economic disruption,suffering and loss of life across the globe.Furthermore,experts warn that without sustained action to control pollution once the crisis ends,levels will likely rebound,as has been witnessed following previous economic downturns.32.The levels of air pollution in the nine cities drop dramatically probably because________.A.the global economy suffers downturnsB.vehicle traffic and industrial activity decrease sharply during the pandemicC.the governments of these cities take effective measures to reduce air pollutionD.people around the world have raised their awareness of environmental protection.33.Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph5?A.To show the data from IQAir are trueB.To make a comparison between the citiesC.To show the significant reductions in levels of air pollutionD.To prove the measures carried out in these cities are effective.34.What does the underlined word“disruption”in the last paragraph mean?A.destructionB.eruptionC.breakD.construction35.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The introduction of PM2.5B.The COVID-19pandemic has caused great loss across the blobe.C.IQAir measured the air pollution levels in major global cities during the pandemic.D.Air pollution has fallen significantly in nine major global cities during the pandemic.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
