　　Passage 1

　　There are thousands of coral reefs(珊瑚礁) in the world; Unfortunately, however, they are now in serious danger. More than one-third are in such bad shape that they could die within ten years.

　　16

　　Here are the three main causes discovered.

　　The first cause is pollution on land. The pollutants run with rainwater into rivers and streams, which carry the poisons into the ocean.

　　17

　　So they will be easily infected(感染) with diseases.

　　18

　　Higher ocean temperatures kill the important food source(来源) for the coral—the algae, the tiny greenish-gold water plants that live on coral.

　　19

　　This process has happened more and more frequently in recent years.

　　The last factor contributing to the disappearance of coral reefs is people. People sometimes crash into reefs with their boats, breaking off large blocks of coral.

　　20

　　Moreover, some people even break coral off to collect for souvenirs since it is so colorful and pretty.

　　A. Global warming is another reason.

　　B. Many might not even last that long!

　　C. Divers who walk on reefs can also do serious damage.

　　D. Reefs provide a home for 25% of the fish in the ocean.

　　E. Chemicals from the poisons kill reefs or make them weak.

　　F. Steps must be taken now to stop over-fishing and pollution of the oceans.

　　G. When the algae die, the coral loses its color and it also dies in the end.

　　Passage 2

　　There are all sorts of good sensible reasons to avoid getting angry. Not only does it make us feel bad, it also makes us do stupid things without noticing the risks and it can be self-destructive ( 毁坏性的). ___ 16____ But like all emotions, anger has its purposes, which can be used for good effects.

　　Anger is a motivating force.

　　In fact anger itself is a kind of positive energy and a powerful motivating force. ___17

　　When we see something as beneficial, we want it more when we are angry. So, when used right, constructive anger can make us feel strong and powerful and help push us on to get what we want.

　　18

　　It may sound like a strange thing to say, but angry people have something in common with happy people. That's because both tend to expect favorable results. By comparison those experiencing more fear are more pessimistic (悲观的) about the future and expect further terrors.

　　Anger can benefit relationships.

　　Society tells us anger is dangerous and we should hide it .The problem is that when we hide our anger, our partner doesn't know he's done something wrong. And so he keeps doing it.

　　19

　　The expression of anger, if reasonable and aimed at finding a solution, can actually benefit and strengthen relationships.

　　Anger provides self-understanding.

　　Anger can also provide understanding into ourselves, if we allow it. Getting angry leads to a positive outcome. Anger help discover our own faults. If we can notice when we get angry and why, then we can learn what to do to improve our lives.

　　20

　　A. And that doesn't do our relationship any good.

　　B. Anger can turn us on and thus push on towards our goals in the face of problems and

　　barriers.

　　C. Anger reduces violence.

　　D. Angry people are more optimistic.

　　E. Most of us treat our anger as though it's unreasonable, unshowable and

　　unmentionable.

　　F. That's because it's a very strong social signal that a situation needs to be solved.

　　G. Anger can encourage self-change.

　　Passage 3

　　16

　　A team gets better. A kid practices more and swims a personal best or learns a new move on the basketball court. In 2006, two things happened that got me thinking about change—in sports and in life.

　　17 Agassi was a terrific player who won 60 titles, including eight major championships. But his greatest accomplishment might have been how much he changed during his career.

　　When he was young, Agassi was a showoff who seemed to care only about himself. He didn’t train very hard, but he won matches because of his tremendous talent. 18

　　He fell from No.1 in the world ranking to No.141.

　　So Agassi changed. He trained harder and become a world-class player again.

　　19

　　He was nicer to fans and opponents. He stopped thinking just about himself and started thinking about others. Through his Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation, he raised more than $60 million to help disadvantaged kids around his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. He even started a school, the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, for at-risk kids.

　　20 But they do happen. Just remember Andre Agassi. It wasn’t easy, but he changed, and changed for the better.

　　A. More important, he changed as a person.

　　B. Finally, everyone should remember that being an excellent player is a tough job.

　　C Changes such as those can be difficult.

　　D. Sports are all about change.

　　___16___ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.
