SHARK CONSERVATION IN SOUTH AFRICA
Take a two-week trip that you will never forget as a volunteer with sharks on a beautiful stretch of South Africa’s coastline. Head out to sea to witness one of the world’s most powerful (and most misunderstood) creatures on this inspiring project, enjoying watching them from both above and below water.
The DAY-BY-DAY schedule
Day 1: Arrive in Cape Town on a Sunday. You will be collected from the airport and spend your first night in a guest house in the city centre.
Day 2: You will be collected bright and early from the guest house and taken down to the project. The drive takes about 90 minutes. You will receive a welcome and head out to sea to witness your first sharks!
Day 3+: Most days you will be out on the boat with the sharks, depending on weather. Help out with the full range of tasks on the boats, and in conservation initiatives on land too.
Last day: On the final day of your project you will be taken back to Cape Town for your onward travel.
The price is £ 829, including the voluntary work programme with accommodations, airport transfers, one night in a guest house in Cape Town, breakfasts daily and lunches when on the boats. Your trip can be extended at a cost of £ 375 per week.
It is an amazing experience! Some volunteers planned to stay for 4 weeks, extended to 6 weeks and still didn’t want to come home. If you’d like to chat about this holiday or need help, we’re very happy to help.

A clever technologist took steamboat inventions and turned them into the first commercial steamboat service.
Although Robert Fulton did not invent the steamboat, as is commonly believed, he played an important role in making steamboat travel a reality. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1765. As a young man, he set out to make his name as a portrait painter. His career took him to Europe and into the orbit of people with the power to support him politically and financially.
Fulton entered London society after he painted Benjamin Franklin’s portrait. While abroad, Fulton left the arts for a career in shipbuilding. He was interested in the recently-invented steam engine, and thought it could be used to power ships. Fulton’s vision was not original; many others had entered the field, and the unfortunate inventor John Fitch had built a working steamship already. But like Henry Ford, Fulton’s talent lay not in the invention but in the product’s application in the marketplace.
Fulton didn’t focus entirely on the steamboat. In 1804, he tested the first submarine successfully, which he had built for the British Royal Navy. His invention would make him a celebrity upon his return to the United States two years later. Fulton’s partner Robert Livingston obtained an exclusive license for steamboat services on New York’s Hudson River. It was time for Fulton to deliver.
To build an efficient, reliable steamboat, Fulton used a special English steam engine. The ship’s bottom was flat and its stern was square. The steamboat Clermont made its debut (首次亮相) on August 17, 1807, steaming up the river from New York to Albany, and it soon entered commercial services. The hilly terrain of New York made water transport faster than land transport, and Fulton’s boat — formerly known as the “North River Steamboat” — was a hit. Within five years, Fulton would be running services on six major rivers plus the Chesapeake Bay, and bring in great profits.
24. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Henry Ford was as unfortunate as John Fitch.
B. Henry Ford was talented in product application.
C. Fulton left the arts as he couldn’t support himself.
D. Fulton was the first to create a working steamship.
25. When did Fulton become a celebrity in the United States?
A. In 1804. B. In 1806. C. In 1807. D. In 1812.
26. What is mentioned about Clermont?
A. It operated for five years. B. It earned Fulton much money.
C. It had an American steam engine. D. It was not accepted by people at first.
27. What’s the best title of the text?
A. Robert Fulton and his Steamboat B. Robert Fulton: A Great Inventor
C. Steamboats Changing Water Transport D. The History of Commercial Steamboats

When John and Victoria Church arrived in New York from London for one-year stay, they brought no furniture with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new way of furnishing an apartment or a house that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishing (furniture, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.
Why do people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? Many kinds of people: international businessmen, government officials, airline workers, young married couples…the people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city (or country) to another…find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they will soon grow to dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they rent. And people whose work takes them from place to place are saved the trouble and cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new home.
One family, now settled in a large, beautiful home, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But they don’t like to tell people about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.
28. Why do people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them?
A. They have to move frequently from one place to another because of their work.
B. Young people are not rich enough to buy furniture they really like.
C. They can save the trouble and cost of moving their furniture.
D. All of the above.
29. Which of the following people like renting of home furnishings?
A. Air hostesses. B. Doctors. C. Teachers. D. Lawyers.
30. Why doesn’t the family which moved in a large, beautiful home want people to know this?
A. They don’t have money to buy new ones.
B. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new.
C. They are sure their neighbors will not like their doing.
D. They don’t want to have their neighbors look down up on them.
31. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Rent or Buy
B. You Can Do Whatever You Like
C. Better Not Buy
D. Better Not Rent

A study of 100 mobile apps for kids found that 72 broke a law aimed at protecting children's online privacy. Researchers developed a tool that can determine whether a mobile app follows the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act(COPPA). The tool was 99%right. Researchers continue to improve the technology, which they plan to make available for download at no cost.
When you download an app, it can get a lot of information on your cellphone. You have to keep in mind that all this information can be collected by these apps and sent to third parties. What do they do with it? They can pretty much do anything. We should be careful about this. Apps can get personal identifiable information, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, locations, audio and visual recordings, and unique identifiers or devices such as an international mobile equipment identity(IMEI), media access control(MAC) addresses, Android IDs and Android advertising IDs. The advertising ID, for example, allows app developers to collect information on user’s interests, which they can then sell to advertisers. What's worse, games and other apps that violate COPPA cause privacy risks that could make it possible for someone to determine a child's ID and location. A bad man could probably get the user's email ID and geographic location and try to kidnap the child.
COPPA requires that websites and online services directed to children get parental agreement before collecting, personal information from anyone younger than 13; however, as the research found, many popular apps do not follow the rule. Researchers found that many popular games designed specifically for young children showed users’. Android IDs, Android advertising IDs and device descriptions. Researchers suggest that parents should be careful when downloading or allowing children to download apps. They advise keeping downloads to a minimum. Don't download apps unless they need to.
32．What is the matter with most mobile apps for kids?
A．They lead children to do wrong. B．They are too expensive for kids.
C．They collect children's private information. D．They are too difficult to operate.
33．What can we learn about the testing tool?
A．It will be put online for sale. B．Parents will get it for free.
C．Apps will find ways to deal with it. D．Researchers will give it up after the study.
34．What will apps do with kids' privacy?
A．They will send it to others. B．They will publish it online.
C．They will keep it a secret. D．They will use it in social surveys.
35．What is the researchers' advice to parents about downloading apps?
A．Downloading as few apps as possible. B．Downloading as many apps as required.
C．Downloading no apps from the Internet. D．Downloading apps that COPPA identifies.

Many cosplay activities are being organized in China, making the subculture popular among some youths. Cosplay means costume play, in which participants wear costumes and fashion accessories(配饰) to represent a specific character.
What’s the reason why youths are interested in cosplay? 36 Cosplay participants often interact with each other to dress up as characters from animes (动漫), cartoons, comic books, films, TV programs and video games. Youths who love cosplay have their own sets of jokes, which “outsiders” rarely understand. 37
Cosplayers are almost always young, most of them under 25, and as they grow older, they tend to give up the practice. 38 Instead, they should treat such youngsters as normal youths, but at the same time warn them never to cross the social and moral boundaries.
The cosplay subculture is a kind of performing arts. Cosplayers usually get the costume in these ways. First, through some companies that make and sell packaged suits for cosplay. Second, through some individuals that make costumes and accessories. 39
With capital flowing into the ACGG（二元次)industry, more specific and mature business models help the industry develop further. 40 Sine then the domestic animation and game industry has been developing healthily with a stronger sense of using legal products. China’s ACG industry is likely to see higher growth in 2019.
A．Based on a research, 2015 proved to be a turning point.
B．The cosplay industry is expected to witness more success.
C．Therefore, there is no need for parents to overreact to cosplay.
D．So regulators should strictly monitor such events to prevent improper behaviors
E．And besides, by making the costumes themselves using raw materials.
F．That’s because it’s a way for youths to express virtual love.
G．Perhaps that’s why some people dislike them.
