You have taught me to be patient.You have taught me that it's OK to be different and to be sad when life doesn't go as planneD．You have taught me that it is OK to talk about those feelings and fight for what is right.Stand up and say this is wrong，and encourage others to stand up for you and say the same.
My job on this earth is to create a world for you and other kids like you.Be the voice you don't have，and build the kind of community which I want to see you grow up in.I used to shy away from contacting people with disabilities or just not consider them.Before you were born，I was so caught up in my own world that I probably wouldn't have even noticeD．Now，I see things differently.I notice.You did that for me.And I hope my example will do that for others.

主题语境 人与自然——生态——河流能运输碳
(2021·成都市高中毕业班摸底) Rivers are the veins of the Earth，transporting the water and nutrients (营养物) needed to support the planet's ecosystems，including human life.While many nutrients are essential to the survival of life，there is one element transported by water in rivers that holds the key to life and to the future of our planet—carbon.
Carbon is everywhere and understanding the way it moves and the way it is either released or stored by the Earth system is a complex science in itself.Carbon starts its journey downstream when natural acid rain，which contains carbon dioxide from the atmosphere，melts minerals in rocks.This helps transform carbon dioxide to bicarbonate (碳酸氢盐) in the water that then flows in our rivers.This is a very long process，which is one of the main ways carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.Carbon is transported by rivers to oceans and once that carbon reaches the ocean，it is stored naturally in deep sea sediments(沉淀物)for millions of years.
As carbon travels down a river，different processes may impact whether it continues to flow downstream or whether it is released into the atmosphere.For example，human engineering，like extensive dam construction，will result in dramatic changes to how water and sediments travel down the river.Some carbon that fails to reach the sea may return to the atmosphere in some way，which causes more warming.
Earth's climate is closely related to the carbon cycle.We all know about the essential role of plants in consuming carbon dioxide，but do we know enough about rivers Changing the chemistry and the course of rivers may have significant impacts on how they transport carbon.Remember: wherever we live，we all live downstream.
文章大意：本文主要介绍了河流在吸收、贮存大气中的碳的过程中的巨大作用——它们能运输碳到海洋中从而使碳贮存在深海的沉淀物中，但是作者同时也指出，随意改变河流的本来样貌会影响其运输碳的方式，进而影响地球气候。
5．Where is the carbon in rivers originally from
A．The atmosphere. B．The rocks.
C．The acid rain. D．The upstream areas.
解析：A 考查细节理解。根据第二段第二句“Carbon starts its journey downstream when natural acid rain，which contains carbon dioxide from the atmosphere，melts minerals in rocks.”可知，当含有来自大气中的二氧化碳的天然酸雨融化岩石中的矿物质时，碳就开始了它的下游之旅。再结合该段第四句可知，河流里的碳最初来自大气层，故选A。
6．Why is human engineering mentioned in Paragraph 3
A．To show how important carbon is to life.
B．To explain how necessary it is to build dams.
C．To show how a natural process is interrupteD．
D．To explain how humans fight global warming.
解析：C 考查推理判断。根据第三段第二句中的“For example，human engineering，like extensive dam construction”可知，作者提到“human engineering”是为了将其作为一个例子来佐证该段第一句中的“different processes may impact...into the atmosphere”，即碳的自然循环过程是怎样被人类的活动中断的，故选C。
7．What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A．We'd better move upstream to live.
B．We should protect plants along rivers.
C．We'd better seek more help from plants.
D．We should be cautious about river management.
解析：D 考查推理判断。根据第四段第一句“Earth's climate is closely related to the carbon cycle.”以及第三句“Changing the chemistry and the course of rivers may have significant impacts on how they transport carbon.”可知，改变河流的化学成分和流向会对它们运输碳的方式产生重大影响，进而影响地球的气候。由此可以推断出，在最后一段作者意在表明，我们应该谨慎地对待河流管理问题。故选D。
8．What is the best title for the text
A．What Humans Do with Rivers
B．How Rivers' Transporting Carbon Counts
C．What the Carbon Cycle Means to Us
D．How Living Downstream Affects the Earth
解析：B 考查标题判断。文章主要介绍了河流在吸收、贮存大气中的碳的过程中的巨大作用——它们能运输碳到海洋中从而使碳贮存在深海的沉淀物中，但是作者同时也指出，随意改变河流的本来样貌会影响其运输碳的方式，进而影响地球。故B项最适合作本文标题。
