第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
“Sorry seems to be the hardest word”—that is one of Elton Johns most popular songs. But not every public figure seems to find it so tough to say that powerful five-letter word.
In recent days public figures, from politicians to stars, have all publicly expressed remorse. But with so much remorse, how can we tell a forced apology from a heartfelt expression of remorse?
Specifically, saying sorry should be a realization that something you have said or done has hurt someone and you want to make amends. “People wants the response to be personal to them. They want to feel that they’re being listened to and taken seriously,” says Martin Stone.
Firstly, it is important to show that you understand. It is vital that any group or a person making an apology understands the focus—is it sorry for the way it’s acted or is it sorry that the complainant feels the way they do? Watch out for the speed of response. The quicker the apology comes, the better it indicates that the person making it has felt an immediate sense of guilt.
If sincere, the person making the apology will be looking for clues (线索) to see if he or she is being understood, such as eye contact and facial expressions. Performed apologies always have a sense of being “acted out”, and are often accompanied by too many unnatural gestures.
For a sincere apology, it is also important to avoid promises that can’t be kept. Don’t say that you’ll make sure that this will not happen again if you re not confident that it wont. It could come back to bite you. And do remember that the use of “but” can hugely change the tone (语气) of an apology. As Stone points out, “I’m sorry but...” sounds like you are making excuses and aren’t actually taking any form of responsibility.
1、What does the underlined word “remorse” probably mean?
A．Feelings. B．Appereciation. C．Regret. D．Sympathy.
2、Which of the following indicates it’s a performed apology?
A．Swearing it will not happen again. B．Avoiding eye contact with the listener.
C．Showing you understand his /her feelings. D．Paying attention to the listener’s reaction.
3、What is stressed in the last paragraph?
A．The attitude. B．The tone of voice.
C．The body language. D．The choice of language.
4、What is the purpose of the text?
A．To explain what a good apology is.
B．To discuss how to give a formal apology.
C．To show why we should apologize in life.
D．To teach us how to tell if an apology is sincere.

B
Saving Our Oceans
●Your Mission
Teach oceanographers(海洋学者)with different specialties about other ocean specialties and thus create a better understanding of the ocean as a complete, diverse system.
● Briefing
You've been invited to lead the International Oceanographic Conference in Oslo, Norway. Over one hundred of your fellow oceanographers will attend it. The problem is, with so many different specialties in the field-from geological to biological oceanography-the oceanographers at the conference are finding it difficult to understand what their colleagues are studying, let alone to grasp the ocean as an entire, diverse system!
Your job will be to give the opening speech at the Conference outlining the general kinds of oceanography in a way that each type of oceanographers will understand. Then, you will assign different oceanographers to different projects and explain to them how best to work together.
● Family-x file
Younger Xpeditioners: Pick one project, and learn more about it through its photo gallery. Then, create a poster based on the animals and terrain(地形). Make sure to label each animal that you draw. Show your poster to your family and describe to them what you have drawn.
Older Xpeditioners: Learn more about each of the projects: Where in the ocean would oceanographers go to study them? What animals might oceanographers study in the project? Which types of oceanographers would you assign for each project and how would they work together?
Finally, think about the ways in which the different general kinds of oceanography might relate. Why is it important to look at the ocean as an entire system, rather than as distinct parts? How might looking at each separate part and the ocean as a whole impact conservation efforts? Practice your speech for the Conference in front of your family.
1、What is your mission according to the text?
A．To save the oceans all over the earth.
B．To attend the International Oceanographic Conference in Norway.
C．To enter for an activity with one hundred fellow oceanographers.
D．To help better understand the ocean as a complete, diverse system.
2、Where can you get the detailed instructions for you in advance?
A．From the leader of the conference.
B．From Younger Xpeditioners.
C．From the part of Briefing.
D．From Older Xpeditioners.
3、How should you prepare your speech according to the text?
A．Practice it at home with the family in front.
B．Ask a lot of questions about the oceans.
C．Create a poster to get informed.
D．Invite other oceanographers to take part.
