第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
To prevent kids from getting bored and to keep them in the spirit of learning, parents can use the summer holidays for fun learning. Here are some ideas for you.
Bedtime Reading
Learning doesn't have to be formal. In fact, some of the best learning opportunities are the simplest. Bedtime reading brings you closer together and gives you the opportunity to have positive discussions about difficult topics like racism, loss, self-esteem, and more. It's never too early to start having these kinds of conversations.
Movies Can Introduce New Concepts
Watching movies can be a great learning opportunity. Selecting educational movies that introduce new concepts is a great way to engage kids in learning.
Screen time shouldn't be the main form of entertainment for young children, but it definitely has its place. There are lots of great family-friendly films your kids can learn from.
Sports +Spelling Activities
Summer is the perfect time to get outside and move. Exercise is important for both 'physical and mental health, and practicing sports can help kids build skills and become more confident. But have you ever considered pairing summer sports with other types of learning
Linking physical movement with tasks like memorization and spelling can be great practice and can help kids learn. Some children are kinetic learners. Multisensory learning opportunities, like spelling while shooting hoops on the basketball court, can be a fun and creative way to build knowledge and skills and are great for students with developmental or learning disabilities.
1. For whom is this passage intended
A. Teachers. B. Young kids. C. Disabled people. D. Parents.
2. What benefits do kids get from Bedtime Reading
A. They learn to be friendly. B. They learn to be talkative.
C. They become rich in thinking. D. They become kind-hearted.
3. What can we say about kinetic learners
A. They learn best while doing sports. B. They do sports well while learning.
C. They prefer doing sports to learning. D. They were born with learning disabilities.

Do you believe the happiness of your life has anything to do with the quality of your thoughts Let me tell you about my friend Matt if you don’t.
Several months ago I was asked to be a FB friend with a guy named Matt. I was told that Matt had been in a terrible motorcycle accident in June of 2017. As a result of that accident, Matt’s wife died. What’s worse, Matt broke 42 bones and was burned over 33% of his body. He spent two months in the York Metro burn unit, one month in recovery center and another nine months in therapy. At first, the doctors were not sure that Matt would even live. Then he received a bad report and it was doubtful that he would ever walk again.
If there is anyone who could have fallen into a pit of self-pity, you would believe it could be Matt. But that is not what Matt chose to do. He gave it his best shot in rehab and therapy. In the end, not only did he live, but he could also walk! Believe it or not, Matt went back to work this past April! He put a quote on FB. When I read the quote knowing all Matt had been through, tears filled my eyes. Here's the quote: “Train your mind to see the good in everything. Positiveness is a choice. The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.”.
Matt has a new goal now to write a book and share his story to help others. Most people don't like to do public speaking but Matt wants to do that. My friend Matt is a true inspiration!
4. What can be inferred from paragraph 2
A Matt's wife was dying. B. Matt was badly injured.
C. Matt was unable to walk any longer. D. Matt stayed in the hospital for a year.
5. What does the underlined part “gave it his best shot” in paragraph 3 mean

Chinese researchers say they believe a group of rockets could be used to change the path of asteroids that might pass near Earth.
A team at China’s National Space Science Center carried out simulations(模拟) on the proposed asteroid defense system. The scientists said their research suggests 23 rockets of China’s biggest kind of rockets could force a large asteroid to change direction. Most experts agree that there is only a small likelihood that a large asteroid or another space object will crash into Earth and cause great destruction. However, many organizations do recognize the real risk of such an event.
The Chinese research was based on defending against a specific asteroid, Bennu, which orbits the sun. Bennu is about a half-kilometer wide. It is considered a near-Earth asteroid. Bennu reaches its closest distance to Earth every six years. The researchers recently reported on their proposal in a study in a planetary science magazine called “Icarus”.
China’s Long March 5 rockets are a central part of the country’s space program. They have been used to launch space station elements and carry spacecraft to the Moon and Mars. China has successfully launched six Long March 5 rockets, since 2016.
Alan Green is a professor of astrophysics. He said he finds the idea of using rockets to act as an asteroid deflector (偏转器) “a rather nice concept”. Green continued, “By increasing the mass hitting the asteroid, simple physics should ensure a much greater effect.” He added, however, that the actual operation of such a mission needs to be studied further. Scientists say deflecting an asteroid’s path presents a lower risk than blowing up the rock with nuclear explosives, which may cause it to break into pieces without changing direction.
8. Who favors the opinion that Earth may be hit by asteroids
A. Most space experts. B. Many organizations.
C. Most astrophysicists. D. Chinese researchers.
9. What do we know about “Icarus”
A. A space object. B. A large asteroid.
C. A science publication. D. An asteroid deflector.
10. How does Alan Green find the Chinese researchers’ simulations
A. Reasonable. B. Unbelievable. C. Suspicious. D. Practical.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Deflecting an asteroid’s path with rockets is risky.
B. Nuclear explosion can fully redirect an asteroid.
C. Small pieces of asteroid can hardly damage the earth.
D. Rockets will someway affect an asteroid’s travel path.
D
How can we keep up with the pace of change today For Bradley Staats, the answer is easy: we all need to keep learning.
“I came to appreciate that it was the story of learning. That’s what dragged me back to learn. I’d been in investment banking, I thought I had the knowledge to do what needed to be done, but really struggled over time,” he recalls. “Why do we get in our own way ”
Now Professor at the University of North Carolina, Staats has published his conclusions in a new book, “Never Stop Learning”. In it, he thinks highly of the virtues of being a “dynamic(积极的) learner”.
Become a Learning Dynamo
“Think of them as the four Fs,” he says. “That you’re focused, you’re fast, you’re frequent and you’re flexible.” Collectively, these four elements make it easier for us to learn new skills and ways of working.
The Importance of Failure
Staats presents some basic elements to achieving this ideal. The first of these involves another F: failure. “If you talk to people about how important failure is to learning, you’ll get the head nodding. But we tend to have a fear of failure, so bad overpowers good.”
Learning to Ask Questions
“When we ask a question, it shows that we don’t know something, and that people will actually think less of us. What’s interesting is that the research suggests it’s just the opposite. It lets them be an expert and share their perspective with us,” he points out.
Learning a Falsification Mindset
Staats advises us “to have strong opinions, weakly held”, which helps to have what he calls “a falsification mindset”. “A good scientist usually has a hypothesis(假设) first and then tries to falsify it,” he says. For example, you want to set up your operation in India. So you not only want to think about why that’s a good idea, but spend a lot of time asking questions why that might be a bad idea. Why might I be wrong
12. How was Bradley Staats in investment banking
A. Quite relaxed. B. Rather hard. C. Fairly, pleased. D. Rarely hopeful.
13. What effect would “the four Fs” have on us
A. Disturbing. B. Challenging. C. Inspiring. D. Critical.
14. In which aspect do we benefit from learning to ask questions
A. Building our confidence. B. Showing our wisdom.
C. Gaining our experience. D. Promoting our understanding.
15. What makes “a falsification mindset” received by scientists
A. That they can benefit from the reflective practice.
B. That a failure rate is easy to measure.
C. That they can eventually conclude a truth.
D. That active mindsets surely mean great success.

Every winter, the coldest places are often the hottest tourist spots. Being the famous ‘Ice City’, Harbin attracts visitors from home and abroad. Here are some places for you.
Ice and Snow World
The famous seasonal attraction is by far the largest ice and snow art exhibition in the world. The ice carvings at the Ice and Snow World are regarded some of the world’s finest examples of ice art. One of the highlights for visitors is the popular “super ice slide” attraction extended to 423 meters.
Yabuli International Ski Resort
The ski resort provides great skiing with high mountains and good snow. The period from November to late March of the next year is the best time to ski at Yabuli Ski Resort. Built according to international standard, it provides an excellent environment for professional skiers. There is also a slide where visitors can enjoy sliding down from the top of the snowy mountain. Doing skiing on the slide is easy and safe, bringing visitors a thrilling experience.
China Snow Town
It’s a good place for visitors to view the splendid snowscape. In winter houses there are covered by snow with an average thickness of 6.6 feet, just like a white fairy wonderland. In addition to the beautiful natural scene, visitors can also enjoy the entertainment activities such as skiing, snowballing, and horse-sledding. At night, it must be an unforgettable experience to sleep on the traditional heated Kang bed piled up with bricks and warmed by fire in northern China.
Zhaolin Park
Located at the bank of Songhua River, it is the first park in Harbin. The ice festival and the ice lantern show renowned at home and abroad are held every winter here. When the night falls, the ice lanterns in the park combine light, sound and action in one, brilliant with a great variety of colors. The charming scenery makes visitors immerse in fantasies and forget to return home.

Growing up on a farm in northeastern Brazil, I was the first and only person in my family to graduate from high school and pursue higher education. My parents worked on a small farm inherited (继承) from my grandparents. I helped out when I was not in school.
My parents always had a close relationship with nature, so they knew the exact time of year to plant or pick certain fruits. I learned from my parents about the large bees that frequented one of our fruit crops—mangangava, we called them. This was the main reason I became interested in biology.
In college, as a black student, from a rural community, I did not see myself in my professors, most of whom were white and spoke with a different accent. Even if I studied for several hours per day, I fell behind peers who came from private schools. The feeling of not belonging circled in my head. I sometimes thought about giving up.
But one day, when I was asked to give a presentation about bees, I didn’t mention their familiar name; instead I used formal terms when describing their adaptations for pollinating (授粉). I was afraid of being judged for expressing my personal knowledge in a science class. But one of the instructors pressed me to tell the class whether I’d seen the bees myself and what I called them and said tapping into my personal experiences would help me grasp the scientific concepts. No other professors had shown that kind of sensitivity. The instructor made it clear that he valued what I’d learned from my family and from my personal experiences on the farm and that I didn’t need to hide who I truly am.
I’m now a master’s student in education, working on a project that explores the connection between science and traditional knowledge. I don’t think I’d be here today if I hadn’t crossed paths with that instructor. We need more educators and scientists like him, who serves as a role model and knows that the best way to allow students to be themselves.
4. What does “them” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The fruits. B. My parents.
C. The large bees. D. The fruit crops.
5. Why did the author want to give up at first
A. He was not attached to his professors. B. He had difficulty fitting in.
C. He was always looked down upon. D. He was busy studying everyday.
6. Why did the author use formal terms in his presentation
A. To express his personal knowledge. B. To avoid being criticized by others.
C. To grasp the scientific concepts. D. To show who he truly is.
7. Which of the following words can best describe the instructor
A. Indifferent and selfish. B. Knowledgeable and ambitious.
C. Courageous and generous. D. Professional and kind.
C
A new study warns 1,500 endangered languages could no longer be spoken by the end of this century.
The study, led by The Australian National University (ANU), identified predictors that put endangered languages at high risk. Co-author Professor Lindell Bromham said that of the world’s 7,000 recognized languages, around half were currently endangered. “We found that without immediate intervention, language loss could triple in the next 40 years. And by the end of this century, 1,500 languages could cease (停止) to be spoken.”
Their study finds the widest range of factors ever putting endangered languages under pressure. One finding was that more years of schooling increased the level of language endangerment. The researchers say it shows we need to build curricula that support bilingual education, promoting both native language proficiency as well as use of regionally-dominant languages. “Across the 51 factors or predictors we investigated, we also found some really unexpected and surprising pressure points. This included road density,” Professor Bromham said. He added, “Contact with other local languages is not the problem. But we found that the more roads there are, connecting country to city, and villages to towns, the higher the risk of languages being endangered. It’s as if roads are helping dominant (主导的) languages ‘steam roll’ over other smaller languages.”
Professor Bromham said the study’s findings were a vital reminder that more action was urgently needed to preserve at-risk languages. He added, “When a language is lost, or is ‘sleeping’ as we say for languages that are no longer spoken, we lose so much of our human cultural diversity. Every language is brilliant in its own way. Many of the languages predicted to be lost this century still have fluent speakers, so there is still the chance to invest in supporting communities to bring native languages back to life and keep them strong for future generations.”
8. Which suggestion is mentioned to save the endangered languages
A. Setting up bilingual courses. B. Avoiding building more roads
C. Opening more local schools. D. Contacting different languages.
9. What does the author mainly tell us in Paragraph 3
A. Some exact examples for the new research.
B. Detailed ways to help dominant languages.
C. Different factors to brighten at-risk languages.
D. Elements to make endangered languages at risk.
10. What’s Bromham’s attitude towards saving at-risk languages
A. Indifferent. B. Hopeless.
C. Optimistic. D. Uncertain.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. 1,500 endangered languages at high risk.
B. A new study concerning dominant languages.
C. Reasons putting languages under pressure.
D. Some good ways to save endangered languages.
D
Scientists know quite a lot about stars. After centuries of pointing telescopes at the night sky astronomers and amateurs alike can figure out key traits of any star, such as its mass or its composition.
To calculate a star’s mass, just look at the time it takes to orbit a companion star. Then do a bit of calculation. To determine what it’s made of, look to the spectrum of light the star sends out. But one question scientists haven’t quite cracked yet is how to calculate the exact time of a star.
“The sun is the only star we know the age of,” says astronomer David Soderblom. He works at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md. We use what we know about it and how it compares to others, he says, to figure out the age of other stars.
Even well-studied stars surprise scientists every now and then. In 2019, the red supergiant Betelgeuse became gradually dark. At the time, astronomers weren’t sure if this star was just going through a phase. The alternative was more exciting: It might be ready to explode as a supernova. (Turns out it was just a phase.) The sun also shook things up when scientists noticed that it wasn’t behaving like other middle-aged stars. It’s not as magnetically active as other stars of its age and mass. That suggests astronomers still might not fully understand the timeline of middle age.
Using physics and indirect measurements, scientists can make a rough estimate of a star’s age. Some methods, it turns out, work better for different types of stars.
Why do we even care Galaxies are huge collections of stars of different ages. Star ages might help us figure out how such galaxies grow and evolve or how planets within them form. Knowing star ages might even assist in the search for life in other solar systems.
12. What may scientists want to research about stars most now
A. Their companions. B. Their types.
C. Their ages. D. Their characteristics.
13. What does the underlined word “cracked” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Discussed. B. Described. C. Touched. D. Solved.
14. Why is the example in 2019 mentioned
A. To show scientists still have puzzles about stars.
B. To prove scientists have studied stars to the full.
C. To provide facts for scientists’ researches on stars.
D. To warn scientists to notice some surprising stars.
15. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph
A. The reasons for caring about the space. B. The significance of researching star ages.
C. The ways of measuring a star’s age. D. The benefits of figuring out solar systems.

I couldn't believe the day had finally come. My friends and I had been talking about it for what seemed like months. Every year our class takes a trip to the Sahara Campgrounds. As soon as you see the entrance sign, a sudden feeling bubbles through your body knowing a week of relaxing from school work is about to start. On a sunny day in July, our class got into the bus and headed to our campground.
I sat comfortably in between my best friends Rona and Tamara, while Nadia and Karin sat at the very back of the bus. It was a little tight and looked like everyone was sitting on top of each other. After what seemed like forever, we arrived.
Once we finished putting up our tents, we sat around the camp fire sharing stories and laughing. The students all took turns to tell a scary story. Rona and Karin screamed so loud that it could have been heard from miles away. But, Nadia, Tamara and I, just sat quietly waiting for the next story as we knew most of the stories were made up by kids.
Evening came and everyone was getting ready for bed. Suddenly, we heard loud shouting and screaming coming from outside our tent. I saw a large black bear! All of the students sat quietly in their tents watching the bear turning to our food containers and trying to open them by lifting them over his head and then throwing them on the ground causing them to release. Once the bear got all he needed, he left without hurting anyone, but destroying most of our food for the week.
At the end of the week, we waved good-bye to the campgrounds, keeping the memories of the dazzling lake, great stories by the fire, the sweet smells of campfire food and most importantly the unwelcomed visitor. Having a wonderful feeling of sadness, I'd leave with a smile on my face, knowing I'd be back next year.
24. How long did it take for the camp
A. A month. B. A week. C. A day. D. A year.
25. How did Nadia, Tamara and I feel when hearing the scary stories
A. Nervous B. Depressed C. Calm D. Surprised
26. Why did the bear come to the campground
A. To scare people. B. To find a friend. C. To listen to a story. D. To hunt for food.
27. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. The author had no interest in the camp.
B. The bus they took to the campground was uncrowded.
C. The bear destroyed some of the tents. D. The author had a good time during the camp.
C
I was 29 when my brother-in-law said to me: "It would be nice if one day you could make use of your education. "I had a degree and an MA(Master of Arts)in creative writing which, as far as I was concerned, I used every day — reading novels, trying to write novels, arguing about politics, interpreting the meanings in French cinema, and generally leading an examined life. But my brother-in-law, who left school at 18, didn't understand why, as a journalist, I was bringing home less than half the salary he earned in the hospitality（餐饮）industry.
I thought of my brother-in-law's comment this week when the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS)released figures showing that, on average, male arts graduates earn less at the age of 29 than their non-graduate peers（同龄人）. Graduates of the same age overall are only earning 6%more than non-graduates. For women, the figure is 26%, but earnings growth for women overall is lower, so the benefits from going to university are greater.
The IFS figures drew a predictable response from the universities minister Sam Gyimah, who listed some courses of arts degrees at certain universities that are not delivering the financial outcomes for students and threatened to punish institutions that don't improve students'earning prospects. This attack on arts degrees raises fundamental questions about what we want from education and, indeed, from life.
No one can deny the arts degrees give students the skills to speak and buy them time to work out what they want to say and how to say it. Studying Freud, or reading James Jovce or Toni Morrison for the first time, introduces students to ideas that challenge their intellectual prejudices, as well as the consensus（共识）of the society around them. The value of an arts degree in life is incalculable.
28. What can we learn from paragraph 1
A. The author's brother-in-law thinks highly of the author's education.
B. The author earns much more than her brother-in-law.
C. The author thinks her major practical to herself.
D. Most people with advanced degrees earn little.
29. Which of the following about IFS is correct
A. Some male graduates earn less than male non-graduates.
B. Well-educated people will always earn more than their peers.
C. Females earn more than males.
D. The increase rate of women's income is much higher.
30. What was Sam Gyimah's reaction to the IFS data
A. He praised universities in terms of their students' career prospects.
B. He forced related institutions to make a change about students' salary.
C. He appealed students to pay more attention to education.
D. He attacked the sayings about arts degree.
31. What's the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The benefits that arts degree can bring us.
B. Students who have earned arts degrees know how to communicate better.
C. We should learn from Freud, James Joyce and 'Toni Morrison.
D. Intellectual prejudices and the consensus of the society are vital.
D
A year of lockdown has brought about some questionable fashion trends. In US suburbs, bathrobes and slippers are now socially-acceptable clothing for a trip to the grocery store.
Ugly shoes are also having a moment. Crocs, the maker of plastic clogs（木屐） now with a market worth of $5. 3 billion, had a record 2020. The distinctive shoes, with their punch（打孔机）hole design, have long been popular with hospital staff. During the COVID-19 outbreak, they have become a sought-after item for those looking for something easy to wear and clean.
The company sold more than 69 million pairs of shoes in 2020 and pulled in nearly $1. 4 billion, a 13% jump from 2019. The share price, up 650 per cent from its pandemic low, has set repeated new highs this year.
Birkenstock is another brand riding high on the shift to a more casual lifestyle. The German group recently sold itself to a LVMH-backed group in a 4 billion deal.
The two brands' popularity shows no sign of fading. Poshmark, the second-hand clothing app, said Crocs and Birkenstock remained top trending brands on its site in March. Sales are up sharply for both compared with the year-ago period. Cooperation with celebrities(Justin Bieber for Crocs, women's brand Proenza Schouler for Birkenstock) should help maintain the trend.
The same cannot be said for dress shoes, which were already falling out of fashion. Office closures and fewer special occasions such as weddings and graduations have accelerated the trend. Sales for the category decreased sharply last year, according to market researchers The NPDGroup. These accounted for only 8% of total fashion footwear dollar sales in 2020, compared with 17% in 2017.
People will soon reach again for going-out clothes, more formal than pajamas. But the market for dress shoes will never recover entirely. The ugly shoe movement is here to stay.
32. What is the meaning of the underlined part in paragraph 2
A. abandoned. B. change. C. popular. D. disappear soon.
33. What can we infer from the first 2 paragraphs
A. COVID-19 contributes to the change of fashion.
B. Tourists like wearing bathrobes and slippers to go shopping.
C. Crocs suffers great loss during the COVID-19 outbreak.
D. Staff in hospital prefer a new type of shoes.
34. What can be inferred about Crocs and Birkenstock
A. Birkenstock is a brand focusing on formal suits.
B. Famous stars are of no help to the two companies.
C. Crocs and Birkenstock enjoyed a short period of success.
D. Poshmark says the two companies are on the rise.
35. What is the author's opinion about the prospect of dress shoes
A. Uncertain B. Pessimistic. C. Positive D. Indifferent.

A letter written to a 12-year-old girl in Lithuania was delivered in December, almost 51 years after it was sent by a pen pal in Poland. "I thought that someone was pranking me," said Genovefa Klonovska after being handed the letter, which included a handmade colored rose and two paper dolls.
The letter, together with 17 others, fell out of a ventilation hole（通风口）this summer, dirty and wrinkled, as a wall was taken down in a former post office on the suburb of Vilnius. Jurgis Vilnius, owner of the building immediately called the post office. "I'm so happy they got interested, "said he.
Street names and their numbering have changed in Vilnius, and post office workers spent months looking for the right houses and talking to current renters and neighbors, tracking down where the recipients moved to. Only five were found. In several cases children of late recipients were handed a lost letter.
"We felt a moral duty to do this, "said Deimante Zebrauskaite, head of the customer experience department at, Lithuania Post.
One lady compared the experience to receiving a message from a bottle thrown into sea. People were emotional. "Some felt they saw a part of daily life of their deceased parents, "Zebrauskaite said.
In the letter to Klonovska, sent from Koezary in Poland and stamped in 1970, a girl named Ewa complains buses no longer reach her village, so she has to walk in minus 23 degree Celsius cold, and asks for pictures of actors.
Now in her 60s, Klonovska has no memory of Ewa. She probably wrote Ewa after finding her address advertising for pen pals in a newspaper, and the relationship ceased after the letter got undelivered.
"So good that the letter didn't matter much. The loss was not life-changing, "said Klonovska "What if they delivered a lost letter from a suitor（求婚者）to his love, and their wedding never happened "

Thanks to YouTube, Streaming（流媒体）first caught on in 2005. Today nearly three quarters of American households subscribe to at least one video streaming service. With almost 200 million subscribers worldwide and a billion hours of content viewed each week, Netflix is by far the biggest paid service. No. 2 is Amazon Prime Video. But for every Goliath, there are a hundred Davids. Many smaller streaming services show nothing but sports, classic movies, or Japanese anime（动画片）.
In the early days of streaming the appeal was the lower cost, and it till is. The average streamer spends $37 a month and subscribes to three streaming platforms, while the average cable （有线电视）user pays more than $200 per month. Still streaming has become more expensive in recent years. In 2019, Netflix raised the price of its basic service 12. 5 percent to $8. 99 a month. A quarter of its subscribers, who protested price increases, said they would cancel their subscriptions. . Few did.
A major reason: streaming networks have. become home to many of the most popular TV series, including recent Emmy winners. They offer full-length feature films as well, and last year, Netflix received more Oscar nominations（提名）than any other media company. In fact, streaming has changed the Oscar competition, at least for this year. Usually only films shown in theaters are considered, but because of the coronavirus, all movies released online in 2020 are qualified for the 2021 Oscar Academy Awards. That shift is especially good news for Disney, which is putting the much anticipated movie Mulan on a new streaming service, Amazon Prime Video. But watching Mulan from your own home will cost $29. 9---on top of the service's monthly fee of $6. 99.
Too much streaming can have its disadvantages, however. There are those who binge-watch, a term Merriam-Webster added in 2017 with the definition "to watch many or all episodes of a TV series on end. " Alejandro Fragoso from New York holds the Guinness World Record:94 straight hours.
28. What do the underlined words "Goliath" and "David" in Paragraph l refer to
A. TV viewers. B. TV programs.
C. Streaming services. D. Streaming subscribers.
29. Why did most Netflix subscribers continue their subscriptions
A. They cannot go without it.
B. They think it is good value for money.
C. Netflix has controlled the market.
D. They think the low cost is a thing of the past.
30. What does the good news in Paragraph 3 mean to Disney
A. The movie Mulan will win an Oscar award.
B. The movie Mulan will generate great profits.
C. The movie Mulan can be released on Amazon Prime Video.
D. The movie Mulan can compete for an Oscar.
31. What do binge-watchers tend to do
A. They watch TV series continuously. B. They start a new life.
C. They break world records. D. They watch TV series aimlessly
D
For humans, adapting to climate change will mostly be a matter of technology. More air conditioning, better-designed houses and bigger flood defenses may help lessen the effects of a warmer world. Animals will have to rely on changing their bodies or their behavior. In a paper published in Trends in Ecology & Evolution, a team led by Sara Ryding, a professor in Australia shows that is already happening. In some species of Australian parrot, for instance, beak（喙）size has increased by between 4% and 10% since 1871. Similar trends are seen in species of mice and bats growing bigger ears, tails, legs and wings.
All that fits nicely with evolutionary（进化的） theory. "Allen's rule", named after Joe Allen, who suggested it in 1877, holds that warm-blooded animals in hot places tend to have larger appendages（附加物）than those in mild areas. Such adaptations boost an animal's surface area relative to its body volume, helping it to get rid of additional heal. Fennec foxes, meanwhile, which are native to the Sahara desert, have strikingly large ears, especially compared with their Arctic cousins.
Ryding's team combined data from different species in different places. Now that they have little in common apart from living on a warming planet; climate change is the most reasonable explanation. Since any evolutionary adaptation comes with trade-off, it is unclear how far the process might go. Bigger beaks might interfere（妨碍） with feeding, for instance. Larger wings are heavier, and bigger legs cost more energy to grow.
Honesty, studying a broader range of animals will help firm up exactly what is happening. For now, at least, the increase is small, never much more than 10%. That may change as warming accelerates. Every little bit of avoided future temperature increases results in less warming that would otherwise slay for essentially forever.
32. Why do some species grow bigger parts of their body
A. They are following the new trends.
B. Scientists need them to do experiments.
C. They have to adapt to warmer climate.
D. Larger parts tend to help them feed well.
33. Where may warm-blooded animals have bigger body parts
A. In hot places. B. In mild areas. C. In the Arctic. D. In deserted regions.
34. What do we know about the change in animals from the last two paragraphs
A. Its process will end soon. B. Its cause is definite.
D. It comes at a cost. C. It happens in the same habitat.
35. What can be a suitable tile for the text
A. Measures to Remove Heat B. Living on a Warming Planet
C. Pioneering Research on Animals D. Evolution to Survive Heat

Since I let go of my ayi before the Spring Festival, I’ve been on the look-out for a new one. My WeChat groups have recommended a Home King app, which has a more poetic Chinese name that means good health at home.
This app allows you to hire an ayi to either just clean, or cook + clean + watch kids, on a one-time basis. The sessions are four hours each and start from RMB 229. If you pay for a package of 25 sessions, it’ll cost you RMB 4,999 upfront, but ultimately comes out to less than RMB 200 per session. You can choose from a morning session from 8 a.m. to noon, or an afternoon session from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
One benefit of using the app is that they have a small army of ayis on standby and are ready to assign one to you at any time, though they do have a tendency to book out a few days in advance. Plus, once you find one that you really like, you can take note of her name and ask for her to return next time. This service also enjoys a reputation with many locals as being professional as well as friendly.
Here are step-by-step instructions on how to hire an ayi through the app after you’ve downloaded it. After completing the registration, which is easiest by syncing with your WeChat account, you can choose either the blue button on the left for deep cleaning, or the orange button on the right for cooking, watching kids, and cleaning.
For instance, if you choose the deep-cleaning option on the left, on the next page click the second tab from the left. This lets you book an ayi for a single visit. Then click the button with the price on it to book your time slot (时段). Click the Buy Now button in the bottom right of the next page and click through the options until you get to the final page, where you’ll have to choose the date and time. To ensure how reliable the service is, a short message is always sent to you for confirmation.
28. How much can you save at least if you pay for a package of 25 sessions
A. RMB200. B. RMB726. C. RMB126. D. RMB800.
29. The service is highly thought of by customers because _______.
A. they can receive free service by putting down the ayi’s name
B. they can easily download the app by one click
C. they can get a 40% discount if booking ahead of time
D. they can hire friendly and professional people to help with housework
30. Which can best explain the underlined phrase syncing with in Paragraph 4
A. Matching. B. Closing. C. Creating. D. Changing.
31. Which of the following is the correct order of using the app to hire an ayi
①register ②download ③choose & click ④confirm
A. ②④③① B. ②①③④ C. ①②④③ D. ④①②③
D
A new study has found that water in the air, not just heat, is important in measuring global warming. The researchers say, when considering humidity and heat, the temperature increase is two times greater than earlier estimates.
The researchers also note, temperature by itself is not the best way to measure the effects of climate change and using temperature underestimates conditions in the tropical areas of the world.
The study was published on January 31 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The researchers team show that the energy created in extreme weather, such as storms, is related to the amount of water in the air. For this reason, they decided to use a special atmospheric measurement to show the amount of heat in an area of air. It is expressed in a scientific measurement for temperature known as degrees Kelvin.
Ramanathan is one of the writers of the study. He is a climate scientist at the University of California San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “There are two factors of climate change: temperature and humidity. And so far, we have measured global warming just in terms of temperature,” he says. “Warm air can hold more water than cold air. For every degree Celsius that air temperature increases, it can hold seven percent more water. When the water vapor in the air becomes liquid, it releases heat or energy. That’s why when it rains, now it pours.”
Ramanathan added that water vapor is a powerful heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere that increases climate change. From 1980 to 2019, the average world surface air temperature increased by 0.79 degrees Celsius. But when they considered energy from humidity, their temperature measurement had increased by 1.48 degrees Celsius. In the tropics, the warming was as much as 4 degrees Celsius.
Wuebbles is a climate scientist at the University of Illinois. He was not part of the study. But Wuebbles said the idea makes sense because water vapor is important in extreme rainfall. He said, “Both heat and humidity are important.”
32. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. The combination of water and heat decreases average surface temperature.
B. The reason why it pours is that cold air can hold more water than warm air.
C. Scientists adopt temperature degrees Kelvin as a special atmospheric measurement.
D. Scientists used both temperature and humidity to measure global warming in the past.
33. How does Ramanathan illustrate his findings in the fifth paragraph
A. By making comparisons. B. By taking examples.
C. By analyzing reasons. D. By giving definitions.
34. What is Wuebbles’ attitude to this new study
A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Skeptical. D. Appreciative.
35. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage
A. Extreme Weathers Are Closely Related to Air Heat Amount
B. A New Study Focuses on Global Warming Solutions
C. Humidity Is Also Important in Measuring Climate Changes
D. Two Climate Scientists Develop a Scientific Method
