On March 1, Dr. Joseph Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel
called Jules's Undersea Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in
Key Largo.
The farther you go below the ocean's surface, the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri
wanted to learn how this pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that
high pressure could help people live longer and stay healthier as they get older. It could
also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.
While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He often exercised in the
morning. He kept teaching his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5,
500 students from 15 different countries. He also worked with ocean experts to figure out
ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove down to spend a
little time with him.
Page 2 of 11
学科网（北京）股份有限公司On June 9, Dr. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old
record of 73 days. Many friends, family, and other supporters were there to greet him and
celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked him out to make sure he was okay.
Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1. 3
centimeters shorter during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better,
his health greatly improved in a couple of ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the
information they collected during the project. In November, Dr. Dituri will speak at an im-
portant medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the
project.
Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. "Who
knows?" he said. "Maybe one day, one of them will come. back and break the record we
just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a new generation of explorers and re-
searchers to push past all boundaries.

Each year, more than 27 million. U. S. and Canadian kids get to school by bus. Most
of those buses run on diesel （柴油） fuel, which give out pollution that riders can take
Page 3 of 11
学科网（北京）股份有限公司in. Pollution levels can be several times higher inside a diesel school bus than outside it.
Why? Pollution can leak in from the floor or blow in through windows.
A U. S. government program started in 2012 offered schools' money spent on cleaner
school buses but not all schools could get it. Five years later, emissions from buses in the
winning districts fell. And a year after getting new buses, student attendance had improved
in those districts. For an average district of 10, 000 students, about six more students at-
tended 'school each day' in the winning districts, compared to the losing districts. Winning
schools with higher rates of bus-riding kids had an average of 14 more students in class
each day. And winning districts that replaced the oldest school buses? They had an average
of 45 more students in school each day.
Those numbers may sound small, but 'they add up. And school attendance matters for
student achievement. Almost 3 million U. S. kids ride school buses more than 20 years
old. If U. S. school districts had replaced all of those older buses, there would have been
1. 3 million fewer student absences each year.
There might be other reasons for better attendance. For example, maybe kids preferred
new buses. However, the most-likely reason for fewer student absences was better health. A
study done on adults showed that a brief exposure to diesel emissions reduced "network
connectivity" in the brain. In other studies, such network-connectivity changes have been
linked to worsened memory and mental tasks. A Washington State program upgraded pollu-
tion controls in old diesel buses. Afterward, fewer kids were hospitalized in those districts
than in schools without bus upgrades.
Almost all U. S. school districts can apply for the program. But schools in low-income
areas, in tribal areas and, in rural areas will get priority. Kids in these areas tend to face.
the most health risks from older buses.
28. What can we infer about diesel school buses from the first paragraph?
A. They have a short service life.
B. They operate cost-effectively.
C. They accommodate few passengers.
D. They do much harm to school children.
29. Why is the increase in school attendance small but important?
Page 4 of 11
学科网（北京）股份有限公司A. It is a long accumulation. B. It is a winning condition.
C. It is a measuring standard. D. It is a student achievement.
30. How does the bus replacement bring better student attendance?
A. By reducing the network connectivity.
B. By bettering the health state of students.
C. By improving student satisfaction with schools.
D. By meeting students' demand for school bus drivers.
31. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The "network connectivity" in the brain.
B. The great work on cleaner school buses.
C. A U. S. government program for education.
D: Better attendance due to new school buses.

First-year college students often are expected or required to live in dormitories. In the
rest years, it's usually up to those students to decide whether to live on or off campus.
But some schools don't provide an option and require four years of on-campus living
for full-time students. Living on campus has been shown to increase retention（保留） and
attendance rates among freshman and second-year students, according to a 2021 report.
There are exceptions, however. At some colleges, students may be freed from the require-
ment if they are, for instance, commuters （通勤生）, fifth-year seniors, at least 23 years of
age or legally married.
Residential housing at colleges is not limited to shared rooms and bathrooms. Alterna-
tives include flats, apartments, Greek houses or living-learning communities for students with
shared interests. On-campus students also have access to services and resources such as res-
idence life staff who can help if a housing issue arises. When students live in a commu-
nity, they are forced to live with different people, learn more about themselves and about the
others, and tell each other their stories.
On the other hand, off-campus living provides students with more independence, as
they are not constrained by school housing policies. Off-campus students gain more real-
world experience in areas like paying their own bills, finding renter's insurance, cooking their
Page 5 of 11
学科网（北京）股份有限公司own meals and negotiating or reviewing contracts. If students are choosing to live off cam-
pus, they should really think it through and talk to someone that lived. off campus. Do their
homework and look at all the costs before they make that decision. Make sure, too, that they
are choosing people that they can live with.
At first glance, off-campus housing can appear less expensive. But the additional ex-
penses outside of rent---like utilities, groceries, Internet access, cable and furniture---are of-
ten overlooked. To reduce off-campus costs, some students choose to overpack houses or
apartments, sometimes with four or five people in a two-bedroom house. Unlike off-campus
housing, the total cost of living on campus is typically all-inclusive, coveting rent, utilities,
furniture, Wi-Fi and a meal plan.
32. Why do some colleges require all the students to live on campus?
A. To keep them stay longer on campus for classes.
B. To make sure all students can live in shared rooms.
C. To make as much profit as possible for the colleges.
D. To monitor all of their students as easily as possible.
33. What should students do before living off campus?
A. They should find someone to take care of them.
B. They should fully develop the ability to live alone.
C. They should learn all aspects of off-campus living.
D. They should seek accommodation through an agent.
34. What does the underlined word "overpack" in the last paragraph mean?
A. Overlook. B. Overconsume. C. Overestimate. D. Overload.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Residential Housing At Different Colleges
B. Choice Between Housing On Or Off Campus
C. Accommodation Situation For College Students
D. Different Living Experience On Or Off Campus

If you're afraid to fly, you're in good company. About 40% of Americans feel some
fear at the thought of flying. 3 6 these tips can help.
3 7
Exposure therapy is the idea that being exposed to something you're afraid of over and
over again calms down your limbic system so it doesn't fire up as fast. That could mean
less anxiety in the long run.
During the night, distract yourself
When we're really anxious, we can't think straight. The key is to try to connect to
your rational, thinking brain. When we really focus on thinking, like doing a math problem,
our emotional brain calms down. Try a crossword puzzle or Sudoku, read a really juicy
romance novel or get through a pile of paperwork. 3 8 .
If you hit turbulence （气流）, don't force yourself to calm down
During a rough flight, you might be to take slow, deep breaths to calm down. 39
. It's nearly impossible to stop your fight-or-flight response, once it's been triggered. Re-
mind yourself that your body is having a normal response to a perceived threat.
Consult with a doctor about medication （冥想）, if you feel you might need it
There are medications pretty quickly taking down anxiety. 40 , talk with your pri-
mary care doctor or a psychiatrist. Try to think of a medication that's not just short-term, but
something that can help you bring your baseline anxiety down.
A. But don't try to stop the experience
B. Try to hold back your feeling of fear
C. If you do need medication to get on a plane

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
"Hi, Connie. My sister-in-law's familiar bright and clear voice greeted me from the
other end of the phone line early one Monday afternoon. "Mom and I just finished baking
banana bread, and we'd love to bring you out a warm loaf. Can you have the coffee on in
half an hour?"
Since thoughts of my mother-in-law's freshly baked banana bread clouded my sensibili-
ties and made me unable to think of an excuse, I replied in my cheeriest voice, "Of course,
come on up. I'll be here!"
What was I thinking? I can't let my mother-in-law see the house like this! She's under
the impression that I'm perfect. I had to attempt to clean the house within thirty minutes.
The past week, however, had been even busier than usual with running my five very active
kids back and forth for extra-curricular activities. As a result, the house was neglected.
To add to my awkward situation, I had spent the morning sitting in the garden drink-
ing coffee in an effort to recover from the rushed weekend of activities. But I told myself,
"Where there's a will, there's a way. Then I put my words into action!
I cleaned up the kitchen in ten minutes. Things were looking good, and I still had
twenty minutes remaining. I quickly swept the living room, throwing toys into the toy box
as I worked my way across the floor. Glancing at the clock on my way upstairs to the
kids' bedrooms, I was relieved to find I had five minutes to spare. That gave me just
enough time to tidy up the bathroom and run a brush through my hair.
Whew! I did it! I put on a fresh pot of coffee, and since my guests hadn't yet ar-
rived, I decided to wipe off the chicken eggs I had gathered after taking the kids to the
Page 10 of 11

bread.

I was finishing the last egg when I heard a knock at the door behind me.
But that smile was short-lived when my oldest son ran through the front door.
