While many people dream of mermaids(美人鱼), few people actually try to become one.

How can someone become a mermaid if they don’t exist? Just ask Dana Richardson, who is a professional mermaid in Hawaii!

“As a child, I always felt very connected to the ocean and played mermaids in the water,” says Dana. “My love of the ocean took me to different types of work such as a lifeguard, swim instructor, boat crew member, underwater photographer, boat captain, and surfer. I just decided to take it to the next level and grow a tail!”

Dana doesn’t mean literally. In 2008 she began making mermaid tails from materials including shiny fabric that she wears while free-diving in the waters around Kona, Hawaii. Free-diving means diving without any protective equipment. It requires you to hold your breath while swimming deep underwater. As she dives in, Dana not only looks like a mermaid; she experiences what it is like to swim like one too.

The waters around Dana’s home in Kona are filled with wildlife, including dolphins and whales. Kona is by a sheltered sea where the waters are calm for swimming. For ten years Dana has been swimming with the creatures of Kona. Some of them have even learned to recognize her.

Dana knows how to swim with sea life because she is a trained marine naturalist. She understands the behavior of sea life and knows how to safely interact with it. Every morning when she swims with sea life she gets to experience her other “home”. “The ocean beneath the depths is really another world. Watching how the world works so gracefully in that circle of life underwater is a beautiful thing.”

For Dana Richardson being a mermaid just makes sense. “I’ve always felt more comfortable underwater than on land,” she says.

Would you like to follow your dream, even if it seems impossible? Dana reminds everyone, “One person can truly make a difference. By following your heart and offering the world your unique gifts, you will inspire others to do so. The world needs you!”

24. What has been influencing Dana’s work experience most?

A. Her hobby.

B. Her family.

C. Her science teacher.

D. Her swim instructor.

25. Why does Dana make mermaid tails?

A. Because she needs them to protect her.

B. Because she wants to swim like a mermaid.

C. Because she needs to make money with them.

D. Because she wants to take photos of mermaids.

26. Being a marine naturalist helps Dana_____________.

A. get along well with sea life

B. discover her outstanding gifts

C. appreciate the beauty of other people

D. feel comfortable both underwater and on land

27. Dana encourages people to______________.

A. help those in need

B. love marine animals

C. try to realize their dreams

D. protect the marine environment

C

The term “girl Friday” is generally used to indicate a female administrative assistant. It can also be used to indicate a woman who takes care of another individual’s private matters. In a less common context, it can refer to a female companion acting as a person’s encourager and devotee.

On a business administration level, the term refers to a woman who deals with a host of business matters and typically does so for one person in particular. Generally, a woman who fits this role is well organized and handles a lot of business and administrative matters, keeping a particular individual organized and on task. For example, a lawyer may claim that a female legal assistant is his or her girl Friday.

A girl Friday can also refer to a woman who manages personal matters for an individual. This type might otherwise be considered a personal assistant. She would generally handle a wide

variety of everyday responsibilities, such as shopping, running errands(跑腿), organizing dinner, and acting as a driver.

What’s more, a woman who acts as a personal encourager or coach is sometimes referred to as a girl Friday. This role differs from both the administrative or personal assistant roles in that the individual doesn’t necessarily perform specific business or personal tasks. Rather, when used in this context, it refers to someone who is more of a personal cheerleader and devoted friend, in other words, the female version of a “wingman”. Often, but not always, this particular role coincides with either the business administrator or, more commonly, the personal assistant role as the individual whom the girl Friday assists tends to become very dependent upon her.

Daniel Defoe, the author of Robinson Crusoe, indirectly gave birth to the term “girl Friday”. In the book, Crusoe rescues a native from cannibals(食人族) and refers to him as “man Friday”because of the day of the week the rescue took place. Man Friday becomes Crusoe’s loyal friend and assistant. In this way, the book gave rise to the term “man Friday”, which refers to a loyal and close male assistant.

28. A girl Friday mentioned in Paragraph 2 should________.

A. be considerate and devoted

B. have great leadership qualities

C. have strong organizational skills

D. be good at dealing with personal matters

29. What does the underlined word “wingman” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. A man who takes care of some people

B. A man who usually lives a very busy life

C. A male employee who works for another person

D. A male friend who accompanies one to offer support

30. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?

A. A book written by Daniel Defoe.

B. The friendship between two men.

C. The origin of the term “girl Friday”.

D. The meaning of the term “man Friday”.

31. What’s the best title of this passage?

A. Robinson Crusoe

B. A girl Friday

C. Daniel Defoe

D. A man Friday

D

Throughout history, public shaming(羞辱) has taken many forms. In the early colonial(殖民的) era, people were punished through public whippings(笞刑) and the use of the pillory(颈手枷). Crowds would come to these events to take delight in their suffering. Fortunately, the movement against public shaming gained support in the 1780s when activists realized that they were worse punishment than death. In 1839, the pillory and whippings were abolished legally.

Now, in the 21st century, public shaming can still be found in society, mainly through social media. Recently, for instance, Justine Sacco, a senior director of corporate communications at IAC tweeted these racist words, “Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m white!”Immediately, Sacco’s account was filled with tweets responding to her callous comment. Even Donald Trump, a rude businessman then, criticized Sacco, writing, “Justine, what the hell are you doing? Are you crazy? Not nice or fair! I will support @Aid for Africa. Justine should be FIRED!”When she finally arrived in Africa, Sacco had become an infamous person.

While Sacco’s tweet was clearly insensitive, her life was destroyed afterwards. In an interview months after the incident, Sacco said, “I had a great career, and I loved my job, and it was taken away from me, and there was a lot of glory in that. Everybody else was very happy about that.”She even went on to admit, “I sit at home and watch movies every day and cry and feel sorry for myself.”Basically, Sacco was refused by society, living without a job or any friends. To the masses, Sacco was not a human--she was a subject of joke.

Clearly, social shaming is a cruel form of punishment. In modern society, social media is

extremely powerful and has the ability to change one’s life in a matter of seconds, as displayed in the case of Sacco. Regardless of the degree of the crime, public shaming is a great psychological burden that should not be placed upon anyone.

32. Before the 1780s, when some people were whipped, many people came to the scene to_____.

A. save them

B. express anger

C. comfort them

D. find amusement

33. The underlined word “callous” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “_______”.

A. strange

B. innocent

C. heartless

D. interesting

34. Because of her comment, Sacco_________.

A. suffered terribly

B. became very popular

C. got many job interviews

D. was fired by Donald Trump

35. What’s the author’s attitude towards Sacco?

A. Critical.

B. Admiring.

C. Supporting.

D. Sympathetic.

第二节书面表达（满分25分）

One possible version:

Dear Editor,

I’m writing to join your discussion about over-tourism. I think it brings many harmful effects during seasonal tourism peaks.

Firstly，over-tourism is harmful to the environment. With beautiful woods replaced by all kinds of hotels and scenic spots, the ecological balance has been broken. Besides, over-tourism worsens the transportation system, which has caused a series of traffic problems. What’s worse，the locals have to suffer from the rising costs of living as well as pressures coming from crowds, noise and waste management.

As far as I am concerned, it is of great importance to keep a balance between the growth of tourism , the environment protection and the local’s well-being.

Yours
