As the school year barely starts in Denver, French teacher Melanie is filled with worry that her students are always absent-minded. Yet, the problem isn't messaging, enjoying video games or delivering notes. Surprisingly, the problem is about the ongoing heat wave in Denver.
"Today was a little bit hot, so I noticed that kids were very sleepy and they had to get up to drink water quite often," said Melanie, who works at Denver's East High School. "If you lose too much water, you have to keep going to the water fountain, which can take away from their classroom experience." While nodding off in class on a warm day may seem acceptable for average teens, Melanie's observation carries a bigger consequence than dry lips.
"There have been quite a few media reports about teachers noticing that students weren't able to focus on hotter days," said R Jisung Park, a researcher. "Does a hotter climate during the school year actually affect the rate of learning " The drop in academic achievements couldn't be explained by hotter weekends or hotter summers, but the trend was connected to higher temperatures on school days alone.
The connection between lost learning and a greater number of hot days is one more example of how climate change is already affecting our lives--and it's an alarm bell for what we stand to lose in the future. Humans still have time to lessen the negative consequences of continued global warming. Without any important changes in the next 10 years, the globe will be trapped in an unavoidable era of heat waves that were unprecedented for human beings.
1.What may cause students to be absent-minded according to the text
A.Video games. B.Text messages. C.Heat waves. D.Classroom notes.
2.What can be inferred from the second paragraph
A.Kids often go to the water fountain for lack of water.
B.Extreme heat may lower a kid's ability to learn.
C.Nodding off in class is a sign of respecting teachers.
D.Kids are more interested in drinking water than sleeping.
3.How does the author feel about dealing with the future global warming
A.Optimistic. B.Uncertain. C.Worried. D.Indifferent.
4.What does the text mainly talk about
A.The way that global warming continues.
B.The reasons why kids are absent-minded in class.
C.The hotter it grows, the more focused kids become.
D.The hotter it grows, the harder it will be for kids to learn.
C
After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations—major food sources(来源) for the wolf—grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegelation(植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes, and completely drove away the park's beavers.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone National Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.
1.What is the text mainly about
A.Wildlife research in the United States.
B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park.
2.What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean
A.Tested. B.Separated. C.Forced out. D.Tracked down.
3.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about
A.Damage to local ecology. B.A decline in the park's income.
C.Preservation of vegetation. D.An increase in the variety of animals.
4.What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project
A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Disapproving. D.Uncaring.

Year 2020 seems to be the year of healthy eating. People are choosing to follow a vegetarian diet, and some have even given up animal products entirely.
But Joe Rogan, the most popular podcast host in the US, was against this trend and called January 2020 "world carnivore (食荤的人) month". In his recent podcast, he reviewed his experience with "the carnivore diet". Starting in January, he ate only meat for 30 days without any vegetables or fruit.
The podcaster tried the diet after the famous psychologist Jordan Peterson claimed that the diet could promote energy levels and mental health, according to Business Insider.
Rising to the challenge, Rogan posted regular updates on his diet on the popular social platform Instagram. With the average day consisting of just 2 meals, breakfast would be 6 eggs or a steak, and dinner would include either another steak, such as beef, fish or liver.
After 30 days, Rogan said he felt amazed. He also wrote, "I lost 12 pounds. Lots of pains went away. My energy is constant, and I have improvements in my stomachache. I went into this thing, thinking that this carnivore diet was kind of strange, but this is as good as I've felt in a long time."
It has positive results, but some have pointed out the diet's limitations. Speaking to CNBC, Linda Horn,a health expert at Northwestern University, said that studies show that a high-quality diet with a variety of nutrients is connected with "a better quality of life, long life and reduced risk of chronic (慢性的) diseases". She added that the energy people claim to feel from the carnivore diet is probably not because of the meat. Instead, she said kicking carbohydrates(含碳水化合物的食物) causes weight loss and it makes people feel better.
While the carnivore diet may offer you some benefits, having a balanced diet will afford you more healthy benefits than consuming a single food group, according to Healthline.
1.How did Rogan respond to the vegetarian trend
A.He helped promote it on his podcast. B.He gave up animal products entirely.
C.He started to eat only meat for 30 days. D.He suggested a "world carnivore month".
2.What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A.How Rogan benefited from the carnivore diet.
B.Why Rogan tried the carnivore diet in the beginning.
C.How the carnivore diet helped people improve their health.
D.Why Rogan kept posting updates on his diet on Instagram.
3.Why do people feel better from the carnivore diet according to Linda Horn
A.They get more energy from it.
B.The diet helps them reduce their aches and pains.
C.The meat in the diet improves their mental health.
D.They lose weight without taking carbohydrates.
4.What can be concluded from the passage
A.Keeping a balanced diet is still a wise choice.
B.The carnivore diet has become a trend in 2020.
C.Further studies will be completed on the carnivore diet.
D.The carnivore diet is more beneficial than a vegetarian diet.

Have you seen people who take pictures of food for more than10 minutes before eating My friend Stella is such an example. Every time we went to a restaurant, she would not take a bite until all the dishes we 1 were on the table. Then she would spend five minutes in 2 the dishes in a seemingly random but in fact 3 order. Then came the most important part: taking pictures. After that, she would choose one of the 4 and click in the filter(滤镜) app. The food eventually looked 10 times more delicious than it really was, but we had no 5 to really enjoy it—it all went cold. Actually Stella's real life is much less elegant. For example, she hates to wash the dishes, so she leaves them in the sink for days.

I was once unemployed. But I never let it affect our family. I kept the family together.
I pulled the car into the garage and got out, just like every night for the past 16 years. The difference was that I wouldn't have to go to work in the morning. I was an expert in technology for a national bank until it closed down. I'd put my heart and soul into my job. Not only did I work long hours, but I was on call 24 hours a day, weekends and holidays too. My kids joked that even though they were teenagers, I was the one who was absorbed in my cell phone and who had to be told not to text at the dinner table.
My wife, Michelle, had been able to go back to work full time as an office manager once we heard my job was threatened. But our three kids would go to college — our son, TJ, was a high school senior, and the girls, Sarah and Tara, were in ninth grade — and I wanted to give them the education and opportunities they deserved.
I stepped into our yard. The lawn and flower beds that my mom had tended so carefully were overgrown with weeds. There was a tree in the middle of the yard that I remembered my parents planting when I was a boy. It needed care. But I'd put on a lot of weight — no time to exercise with my crazy hours. I went up to the house. Michelle greeted me at the door with a hug. "It's going to be okay," she said. "Maybe you should think of this time as a break. You deserve one."
"I'm sorry, Dad," TJ said. "I know how much your job meant to you." His concern was mirrored on the girls' faces.
"I'll take care of this," I told them. "I'm going to work round the clock to find a new job and get our lives back to normal."

第二节
答案：Paragraph 1:
The next morning I got up before everyone else to search. I tried to find a new job online. I also e-mailed friends to ask for help. By midmorning the quiet of the house had driven me crazy. I missed the noise of the bank office. Then I saw those overgrown weeds and made my way to the lawn with tools. I settled into a new routine. Every day, I took breaks to do other things I'd neglected when I was working all the time.
Paragraph 2:
The new lawn I'd planned for so long began to take shape and so did I. There came some differences. With the physical labor, my weight dropped off, and I felt healthier than before. And I cleaned the empty family room completely. Soon TJ, Sarah and Tara brought their friends around after school. There were so many teenagers hanging out in our yard. At weekends and holidays, the five of us got around. Good things came in pairs. Soon I received an offer. And I found a balance between work and family.
