As a child，Fischer loved going to the beach and riding bikes along the coastline with his
father，Karl Fischer.So when he lost his dad to pancreatic cancer，he turned to the healing power
of the ocean.
At the start of this year，Fischer wrote his father’s name on his surfboard and took it out to
sea in Newport，Rhode Island.His father’s name shone in the sun on what felt like a shared
adventure.Inspired，Fischer made a video and posted it on social media the same day.“If you love
the ocean，or you know someone who loves the ocean，or maybe you lost someone who just
loved being outdoors...，you can comment on this video with their name and a bit of their story，
and I’ll put their name on my board here，just like I’ve done with my father’s name，” he
said in the video.“And I’ll take them out in the ocean for you.”
Names poured in from thousands of strangers grieving(悲伤) the loss of loved ones.And with
that，the One Last Wave Project was born，the aim of which was to exchange stories with a
community of people going through the same pain.They were essentially healing together.About
two months later，Fischer had received over 5,000 names and written most of them on two
surfboards.The first two surfboards ran out of space—he’s working on getting more.He wrote the
names in neat letters on the surfboard and put a clear acrylic(丙烯酸) coat over them so they
didn’t wash off.
Though a lot of people have been struggling with grief in the pandemic，Fischer was amazed
by the responses that have poured in.“If I am able to help one person or one person shares their
name，that is enough for me，” he said.“But I am blown away—by not just the number of
people sharing，but the depth of stories and love that they are sharing.” And he plans to take his
project around the world and connect with even more people—through shared grief and the power
of the ocean.

When did you last write a letter？Properly write one—by hand？In a digital world，where
sending a text or email is far more convenient than using snail mail，is the writing on the wall for
traditional pen and paper？Well，some people claim that writing still has many benefits，so
maybe it’s not time to ditch your ballpoint(圆珠笔) or fountain pen(钢笔) yet.
These days，when people request things in writing，a typed，electronic document will be
accepted.Doing this on a computer means it could be saved ，edited，copied and sent via
email.But crafting a handwritten document is unique：It requires planning and thought，and，as
well as practising your handwriting，it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.
Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper.This is
particularly relevant for students，where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the “tactile
feedback(触觉反馈)” to the brain that contacts between pen and paper does.BBC Worklife
website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary，who says that taking notes by
hand involves cognitive(认知的) engagement in summarizing，adapting，organizing，concept
and vocabulary mapping.Others agree that handwriting may boost fine motor skills in your hands
and fingers.
There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper too.Scribbling(涂鸦) notes，shopping lists
or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful，quick and portable.But putting pen to
paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most impact.Pen pal writer
Katherine Moller told the BBC：“In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send
a fast text，it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to
spend some time with you.”
So，while digital skills remain important，don’t write off your pens and pencils yet—
especially if your smartphone，tablet or laptop runs out of power!5．What does the underlined word “ditch” mean in the first paragraph?
A．Write. B．Abandon.
C．Save. D．Choose.
6．What does the writer want to emphasize in paragraph 2?
A．The popularity of electronic documents.
B．The convenience of electronic documents.
C．The special features of handwritten documents.
D．The basic requirements of handwritten documents.
7．Which of the following is the benefit of writing by hand?
A．It fully develops your hand muscles.
B．It helps you to practise your digital skills.
C．It strengthens the bond between pen and paper.
D．It sharpens your comprehensive cognitive abilities.
8．What can we infer from Katherine Moller’s words?
A．It is necessary for us to turn off the virtual world.
B．Scribbling notes should be practised in our daily life.
C．Using paper and pen has the greatest impact on our daily life.
D．Writing a letter by hand can be a touching and valuable experience.

Climate change leads to a threat to the world’s sandy beaches，and as many as half of them
could disappear by 2100 ，a new study has found.Even by 2050 some coastlines could be
unrecognizable from what we see today，with 10% to 12% facing serious erosion(侵蚀)．
Using updated sea level rise predictions，the researchers analyzed how beaches around the
world would be in the future with higher seas and more damaging storms.They also considered
natural processes like wave erosion ， as well as human factors—like coastal building
developments，all of which can affect a beach’s health.The study found that sea level rise is
expected to outweigh(胜过) these other factors，and that the more heat-trapping gases humans put
into the atmosphere，the worse the influences on the world’s beaches are likely to be.
It’s hard to overstate just how important the world’s beaches are.They cover more than one
third of the world’s coastlines，and protect coastal areas from storms.Beaches are also important
for economic engines，supporting relaxation，tourism and other activities.And in some areas，the
beach is more than a vacation destination.In places like Australia，life near the coast revolves(围
绕) around the beach for much of the year.
Some of the world’s most popular beaches are already taking action.Places like Miami
Beach are trucking in thousands of tons of sand to patch up(修复) badly eroded shorelines，whileothers have built sea walls and breakwaters in an attempt to hold precious sand in place.But the
financial and environmental costs of these projects are huge，and scientists say rising seas and
more powerful storms，as well as a warmer climate，may make this a losing battle.
However，the researchers did find that humans have some control over what happens to the
world’s beaches.If the world’s governments are able to continue cutting heat-trapping gas
pollution，the researchers found that 22% of projected beach losses by 2050 could be prevented，
a number that grows to 40% by 2100 if greenhouse gases are limited.
9．Which of the following mainly causes serious beach erosion?
A．Higher seas.
B．Human factors.
C．Damaging storms.
D．Wave erosion.
10．What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A．Storms damage one third of the world’s coastlines.
B．Significance of beaches can’t be underestimated.
C．Economic activities may cause damage to beaches.
D．Beaches are the only economic engine for Australia.
11．How do scientists think of the action taken to protect beaches?
A．Costly but failed.
B．Effective but not enough.
C．Orderly but slow.
D．Enormous but not constant.
12．What is the text mainly about?
A．Action has been taken to protect beaches.
B．Beaches are facing the threat of disappearing.
C．Life in coastal areas mainly depends on beaches.
D．There exist challenges to protect eroded beaches.
Ⅱ.七选五
Having a college roommate is most people’s first experience living with someone who is not
related to them.It comes with both benefits and challenges. 1 You get an instant friend，
someone to confide in and keep you company during your first time away from home.However，
since many colleges randomly assign your first roommate，you also run the risk of being matched
with someone you find challenging.Either way，here’s some good advice：
Establish some rules
2 In this way ， you and your roommate are clear on what to do to avoid
conflict.Establish what space is whose，when you need quiet time to study，which items you canshare，what time you go to bed，if you like to sleep in on weekends and who’s allowed to eat
what in the refrigerator.
Practice direct communication
Practicing direct communication will help you in good times and bad.Dorm rooms are close
quarters，so even if you get along with your roommate，there is bound to be a disagreement or
two. 3 You can’t expect your roommate to be a mind reader，so if you get upset or
frustrated，communicate it to your roommate right away. 4 You’ll find such way gets better
reception and ultimately a better response than if you just attack or criticize.
Compromise sometimes
When it comes to doing chores around the room，listening to certain kinds of music，
watching different TV shows and requesting privacy，compromise is key.If you give a little your
roommate will give a little.Compromising does not refer to giving in to all of someone’s requests.
5 So，utilize positive communication，and talk through the things you and your roommate
differ on until you can reach a compromise.
A．Make your preferences known from the start.
B．Instead，it means coming to a mutual agreement.
C．Handle such conflicts with open communication.
D．It refers to persuading others to accept your opinion.
E．Use a respectful tone and choose your words carefully.
F．In this situation，listening to your roommates is very important.
G．Getting along with your roommate can enhance your college experience.
