22、Waiting anxiously to be reunited with the son he had not seen for 13 years, Phil Baker took a walk along the beach with his wife Lyn to relax himself. His boy Benji, 21, was finally back to Australia after living most of his life in the UK, half a world away from his dad.
As he looked out at the ocean, wondering how his son might have changed over the years, Phil saw some people on the kayaks (小艇) in trouble on the water. Without hesitation, he dived into the sea to help. And as he carried a stricken young man trembling and semi-conscious to the shore, he realized the young man was his long-lost son.
“I looked at his face, and something occurred to me,” says Phil. “Those brown eyes were very familiar.” Although Phil had seen just a few photos of his son since the boy was eight years old, he recognized him at once.
It would be reasonable to suppose it was a father’s instinct that incited Phil to help ---- but at the moment he dived into the water to go to the aid of the struggling group, he only thought he was helping a stranger in trouble.
He said, “Two people were desperately paddling on one of the kayaks and it seemed like someone fell into the water. I told Lyn, ‘Something is not right; I’m going to help.’ ”
“l took off my T-shirt and threw my keys on the sand. Diving into the water, I saw there were two instructors on board and a man lying in the water. He was shaking violently. Linking arms with one instructor, I helped to carry the man out of the water. He was drifting in and out of consciousness and his hands and feet were blue.”
Then Phil looked into the boy's eyes and wept as he realized the stricken stranger was his own son. Phil recalled, “I asked the instructor, ‘what’s his name?' ” He replied, ‘Benji’. In an instant, I knew that stranger was my boy. I checked his breathing and pulse and said, “It's me, your dad. You're going to be OK.”
Benji tells how it felt to be saved by his long-lost dad. “All I remember was waking up on the beach and seeing my dad there,” he says, “And I recognized his face straight away.”
【1】What can we know about the Bakers?
A. Phil and his wife lived in Australia.
B. Phil knew he was going to save his son.
C. Benji was going to see off his son on the beach.
D. Benji and Phil were separated because of Benji’s education.
【2】In Paragraph 4, the underlined word” incited" can be replaced by"__________"

23、Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. 【1】 Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Newspapers and magazines all snap up to publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.
According to psychologist Christina Villareal, famous people worry constantly about their public appearance. 【2】 Eventually, they see themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.
【3】 In the 4th century B.C. painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Local magazines and newspapers published his thrilling stories about his personal lives. They did much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without being photographed or interrupted for a signature. 【4】 Then there is always the media to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. Others actively contact related social media or websites to keep the public informed of their views in time when suffering from the pressure of public opinions. 【5】
A．Over time, they feel separated and alone.
B．They are at the center of much of the world’s attention.
C．These celebrities start to lose track of who they really are.
D．Actually, the calmer they keep, the less trouble they will run into.
E．The phenomenon of tracking famous people has been around for ages.
F．For example, they accidentally say something silly or do something ridiculous.
G．Inadequate social recognition makes it much harder for stars to keep a positive image.
24、Home to reefs, sharks and many exotic fish, the Coral Sea is a unique reserve of biodiversity off the northeastern coast of Australia. If a proposal by the Australian government goes ahead, the region will become the world's largest marine protected area, with bans on fishing, mining and marine farming.
The Coral Sea reserve will cover almost 990, 000 square kilometers and stretch as far as 1, 100 kilometers from the coast. Revealed by environment minister Tony Burke, the proposal will be the last in a series of proposed marine reserves around Australia's coast.
But the plan attracts criticism from scientists and conservation groups claiming the government hasn't done enough in protecting the Coral Sea. They even point out only half of the Coral Sea reserve is proposed as a “no take” area, in which all fishing would be banned. But the world's largest existing marine reserve, established by the British government in the Indian Ocean, spans 554, 000 km2 and is a no-take zone throughout. Some people argue more of the Coral Sea should receive this level of protection.
The Australian government didn't respond to the criticism. But Robin Beaman, a marine geologist, says the reserve does “broadly protect the range of habitats”in the sea. “I can testify to the huge effort that government agencies and other organizations have made to understand the ecological values of this vast area,” he says.
Reserves proposed earlier for Australia's southwestern coastal regions have also been criticized for not giving habitats adequate protection. Some scientists pointed out the proposals for the southwestern region had not been based on the “core science principles” of reserves—the protected regions were not representative of all the habitats in the region, they said. Critics say the southwestern reserve offers the greatest protection to the offshore areas where there is little threat to the environment, a controversy also leveled at the Coral Sea plan.
【1】What do we learn from the passage about the Coral Sea?
A．It is extremely rich in marine life.
B．It is the biggest marine protected area.
C．It remains largely undisturbed by humans.
D．It is a unique reserve of endangered species.
【2】What does the Australian government plan to do according to Tony Burke?
A．Make a new proposal to protect the Coral Sea.
B．Revise its conservation plan owing to criticisms.
C．Upgrade the established reserves to protect marine life.
D．Complete the series of marine reserves around its coast.
【3】What does marine geologist Robin Beaman say about the Coral Sea plan?
A．It can compare with the British government's effort in the Indian Ocean.
B．It will result in the establishment of the world's largest marine reserve.
C．It will ensure the sustainability of the fishing industry around the coast.
D．It is an enormous joint effort to protect the range of marine habitats.
【4】What do critics think of the Coral Sea plan?
A．It will affect Australia's fishing industry.
B．It will do more harm than good to the environment.
C．It will protect regions that actually require little protection.
D．It will win little support from environmental organizations.
