A funeral or an obituary(讣告)is traditionally how we honor those who have died.
But the way we remember loved ones is changing, as thousands of families turn to one
project using TikTok and a surfboard.
Since the death of his father Randy Mendioroz, Tony Mendioroz dreamed of
reuniting him with the place that he loved most---the ocean. Randy’s life revolved around
water. He was a specialist in building water parks, wave machines and swimming pools,
and Tony once worked for him for a while. The Mendioroz family were also regulars at
the coast and spent wonderful time from some of San Diego’s best beaches.
Randy passed away from liver cancer in 2013. Feeling lost, Tony began to search
for ways to feel a connection with his dad again. He found comfort in the sea and
surfing, but always felt it was an experience he should have shared with his father. So,
when he came across a video of a man offering to grant Randy “one last wave”, he
jumped at the chance.
The man behind the video was surfer Dan Fischer. He, too, had lost his father Karl
Fischer to cancer and had turned to the ocean to feel closer to him. After one
unforgettable trip into the waves off the coast of Newport, with his father’s name written
on his surfboard, Dan realized the potential healing power this simple activity could have
when dealing with loss.
“Through surfing, I took him out there because he always loved the ocean, and he
and I were adventure buddies,” Dan says.
When he got back to the shore, Dan posted a TikTok video, encouraging others
dealing with grief to reach out and have the names of their lost loved ones written on
his surfboard.
The Mendioroz family were one of thousands of those who got in touch from
around the world, sparking the beginning of the “One Last Wave Project”.
The project prompted Dan to document each of his trips to the beach as names
continued to cover his board. It has been a powerful force in creating a global
community and support network for those going through loss.

Floating homes, luxury living and smart home technology aren't necessarily things that tend
to go hand in hand. But Ocean Builders, a Panama-based company that specializes in marine
technology, is to unveil a fleet of "living pods" that manage to bring all the three together. They
are currently under construction in the Linton Bay Marina of Panama.
Named SeaPod, the pod was conceptualized by Rudiger Koch, Head of Engineering at
Ocean Builders, along with Chief Executive Officer Grant Romundt, as a solution to the lack of
space in popular beach destinations. It provides77 m2 of living space, including a bedroom, a
living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. With room for two people, the unit utilizes over 47 m3 of
hollow steel tubes to float 2.2 meters over the waves, and features big windows and 360-degree
ocean views.
Romundt hopes the design will challenge perceptions of homes and allow residents to live
英语试卷 第6页(共12页)
学科网(北京)股份有限公司on the water without having to make sacrifices when it comes to the comforts of living on land.
"Normally when you live on the water, it's on a boat, which has a living situation that is
unacceptable to most people," says Romundt. And the pods are to equipped with advanced
technology, along with applications that tailor the design and function to suit those inside.
Meanwhile, special "smart rings" worn by residents will enable them to unlock doors and switch
their music on at the wave of a hand.
As a long-time advocate for oceanfront living, Romundt previously lived in a floating home
in Toronto, and says it's lifestyle that's hard to match. "It's very peaceful and beautiful. Most
people spend all year dreaming of their two-week vacation where they go to a tropical island
hanging out, relaxing, regenerating and restoring themselves." So why not just live like that all
year round?
While those who opt to live in one of these particular units will likely need to have a sense of
adventure, as well as a fondness for water, Romundt says the team don't necessarily have a
specific type of customer in mind. In fact, he's confident that the majority of those who get to
experience the SeaPod for just a few minutes will jump at the chance of owning one.
28. Which of the following can best describe the SeaPod?
A. Sustainable B. Innovative
C. Temporary D. Profitable
29. What can replace "utilizes" underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Gets rid of B. Puts up with.
C. Makes use of D. Ends up with
30.What can we learn about the SeaPod in paragraph 3?
A. It can be controlled widely.
B. It redefines what a perfect home is.
C. It will make residents feel they are on a boat.
D. It will give residents a land-like living experience.
31. Why does the text mention Romundt's life in Toronto?
A. To call on people to take a long vacation
B. To promote his company's floating homes.
C. To show that people long for a peaceful lifestyle.
D. To introduce a new understanding of the floating home.

From May to October in the southeastern US, five species of turtles, from loggerheads to
Kemp’s ridley, crawl (爬行) ashore under the cover of night to lay their eggs on the very beach they
英语试卷 第7页(共12页)
学科网(北京)股份有限公司were born. During this time, thousands of turtle-loving volunteers comb the shorelines looking for
the turtles’ tracks as part of an ongoing effort to gather population data and protect the nests.
However, it’s not easy to detect turtle eggs as female turtles frequently make “false crawls”,
climbing out of the water but returning without laying eggs. And since sea turtles disturb huge
areas of sand to hide their nests from predators (捕食者), human monitors are often left guessing
where the eggs are.
Now, a new study suggests man’s best friend can do it better. A smell-detecting dog named
Dory found the location of sea turtle eggs more accurately than human volunteers, according to a
recent study led by Rebekah Lindborg, a conservationist with Disney’s Animals, Science, and
Environment division.
Lindborg teamed up with Pepe Peruyero, a dog behaviorist who has trained smell-detecting
dogs for over 20 years. Peruyero selected a rescue dog named Dory, a two-year-old terrier mix
found wandering along a Florida highway, as the project’s poster dog.
Over months of training on a 50-by-50 square foot artificial beach, Peruyero trained Dory to
alert (警觉) at the smell of “cloacal mucus”, a sticky matter that coats a sea turtle’s freshly laid
eggs, with Lindborg as her handler. Then, the team convinced the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission to allow a friendly competition. During the peak nesting seasons, two
groups went around a stretch of shoreline about five miles long in Vero Beach, Florida.
The terrier identified 560 sea turtle nests from three species, while people found only 256.
Dory was also significantly better than people at choosing where to dig for eggs, greatly reducing
the number of holes dug, Lindborg reports. And while human volunteers couldn’t find the eggs in
14.8% of nests, Dory only failed to deliver 5.7% of the time. “Dory has a keen nose for turtles,
and this could be a game changer,” said Lindborg.
32. How do female turtles make egg detection more difficult?
A. They make misleading tracks in the sand.
B. They destroy their eggs deliberately.
C. They put their eggs in the water.
D. They build nests everywhere.
33. What is most helpful for Dory in finding turtle nests?
A. The nature of digging.
B. The sense of competition.
C. The warning from its trainer.
D. The matter on a turtle’s newly laid eggs.
34. How is paragraph 6 mainly developed?
英语试卷 第8页(共12页)
学科网(北京)股份有限公司A. By giving examples. B. By describing courses.
C. By making comparisons. D. By offering explanations.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. The kindness of a man who protects turtle nests.
B. A dog that can find turtle nests successfully.
C. The difficulty of building turtle nests.
D. A new discovery about turtle nests
