山东省鄄城县第一中学2023-2024学年高一下学期3月月考英语试卷 学校：_____姓名：_____班级：_____考号：_____ 一、阅读理解 The Nautilus Expedition (探险) to the Cayman Islands Hi! I’m Talita and this is my blog! Enjoy! Day 1: August 15th Wow! I can’t believe I’m actually here on Nautilus. I’m one of five very lucky students chosen to go on Nautilus’s four-day expedition to the Cayman Islands. We had a talk from the expedition leader Dr. Katy Croff Bell about where we’re going and what we’ll be doing. Oh, and all the safety rules as well, of course! Day 2: August 16th What an amazing day! In the morning, we met Dr. Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreck (残骸) of the Titanic! After lunch, we had a tour around Nautilus. We looked at the labs, and we went up to the bridge—that’s where the captain of the ship works. I even got a chance to guide the ship! Later we learned about Hercules. This robot is sent deep into the sea to look for shipwrecks, to study the plants and animals, and to look at the rocks in an area. Day 3: August 17th This morning we appeared on the Nautilus Live website and talked to students around the world about our expedition. It was amazing—I feel like a real famous person now! The after-noon was NOT cool, however. There was a big storm, and we all felt very seasick! Day 4: August 18th This morning was beautiful, and the sea was peaceful. Perfect for a dive. Unfortunately, it was Hercules, not us, who got to go diving. In the afternoon, we arrived at Grand Cayman. Although I’m sad to leave the Nautilus team (especially Hercules), I’m excited to explore the islands and the waters! 1．How did Talita feel about taking part in Nautilus’s expedition to the Cayman Islands A.

When Keia Jones married her husband Richardo Baldwin in 2010, she had just one child: a 2-year-old daughter, Zariyah from a previous relationship. Little did they know, though, that their family would eventually add not one, not two, but three more children to the Jones-Bald-win family, thanks to the gift of adoption. First came 11-year-old Karleigh, in 2014. She and Zariyah became close friends at school, but due to some financial difficulties, Keia says Karleigh’s mother fell on hard times and was unable to properly care for her. In 2017, the couple adopted a lovely 3-year-old kid named Ayden. That same year, their fourth child came into their lives unexpectedly. “Unlike our three other black kids, the baby, named Princeton, is white,” Keia recalls. Princeton ... ...
