The Weather of the Future
As winter takes its icy grip, and we head outside into a cold and crisp morning, we might be dreaming of warmer and sunnier days that lie ahead. Although, for many, summer might give us the most 11． weather, our changing climate might mean that our chilly winter season becomes a thing of the past. So maybe we should enjoy it while we can.
Last year, the World Meteorological Organization found that the Earth continued to endure a period of 12． heating, making it one of the three hottest years on record. The most notable warmth was in the Siberian Arctic, where temperatures were 5℃ above average. The evidence shows that much of this climate warming is 13． by human activity.
With a(n) 14． in meteorological (气象的) conditions, we're likely to see more record-breaking temperatures, where, in certain places, summers will be 15． hot and winters mild. This means for some, snowy winters could become a thing of the 16． . In the UK, a series of projections, 17． on accelerating global emissions, found that the average coldest day would not drop below 18． point. Dr. Lizzie Kendon, a senior Met Office scientist, said, "It could mean the end of sledging (滑雪橇), snowmen and snowball fights... the overall 19． is warmer, wetter winters; hotter, drier summers." She's described this as" a wake-up call".
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the obvious way to slow the rate of change in our climate. Some nations are promising to do this, but already we're experiencing less snowfall and fewer frosty mornings. And on a bigger scale, glaciers are 20． . According to modelling by Aberystwyth University in the UK, up to 92% of glaciers in the Alps could be lost by the end of the century due to climate change. So, if you're lucky enough to be looking out on a winter wonderland, get outside and make the most of it before it melts.

The populations of common animals are just as likely to rise or fall in number in a time of accelerating(加速) global warming as those of rare species, a study suggests.
Until recently, scientists were still accumulating data on how animal populations were shifting over time globally across the different regions of the planet.
Making use of the newly available data, a team of University of Edinburgh researchers studied nearly 10, 000 animal populations recorded in the Living Planet Database between 1970 and 2014 to provide a new perspective on animal population change. These include records of mammals, reptiles, sharks, fish, birds and amphibians(两栖动物).
The team found that 15 percent of all populations declined during the period, while 18 percent increased and 67 percent showed no significant change. Amphibians were the only group in which population sizes declined, while birds, mammals and reptiles experienced increases. The overall decline in amphibians makes them a priority for conservation efforts, researchers say, as their loss could have knock-on effects in food chains and wider ecosystems.
Gergana Daskalova, of the University of Edinburgh's School of GeoSciences, who led the study, said, "We often assume that declines in animal numbers are prevalent everywhere. But we found that there are also many species which have increased over the last half of a century, such as those which do well in human-transformed landscapes or those which are the focus of conservation actions."
Dr. Isla Myers -Smith, also of the School of GeoSciences, who co-authored the study, said, "Only as we bring together data from around the world, can we begin to really understand how global change is influencing the biodiversity (生物多样性) of our planet."

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，一项研究表明，在全球变暖加速的时代，普通动物的数量可能会增加或减少，就像稀有物种一样。同时介绍了这项研究发展的过程、发现和研究人员对此的看法。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和观点态度四个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
54．考查细节理解。根据第一段“The populations of common animals are just as likely to rise or fall in number in a time of accelerating(加速) global warming as those of rare species, a study suggests.”一项研究表明，在全球变暖加速的时代，普通动物的数量可能会增加或减少，就像稀有物种一样。可知，随着全球气温的上升，普通动物的数量变化会像稀有动物一样。故选C。
55．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Making use of the newly available data, a team of University of Edinburgh researchers studied nearly 10000 animal populations recorded in the Living Planet Database between 1970 and 2014 to provide a new perspective on animal population change.”爱丁堡大学的一个研究小组利用最新的数据，研究了1970年至2014年Living Planet数据库中记录的近10000种动物种群，为动物种群变化提供了新的视角。可知，科学家们通过分析现有信息来进行这项研究。故选D。
56．考查词义猜测。根据第五段中的“But we found that there are also many species which have increased over the last half of a century, such as those which do well in human-transformed landscapes or those which are the focus of conservation actions. ”但我们发现，在过去的半个世纪里，也有很多物种数量增加了，比如那些在人类改造的环境中生存得很好的物种，或者是保护行动的焦点的那些物种；以及“We often assume that declines in animal numbers are”可知，but表示转折，说明Gergana Daskalova经常假设动物数量的减少在世界各地都很普遍，结果却发现在过去的半个世纪里，也有很多物种数量增加了，即划线词意思是“普遍的”。故选A。
57．考查观点态度。根据最后一段“Dr. Isla Myers -Smith, also of the School of GeoSciences, who co-authored the study, said, ‘Only as we bring together data from around the world, can we begin to really understand how global change is influencing the biodiversity (生物多样性) of our planet.’"同样来自地球科学学院的Isla Myers-Smith博士是这项研究的合著者，她说：“只有当我们把世界各地的数据汇集在一起时，我们才能开始真正了解全球变化是如何影响我们星球的生物多样性的。”可推知，Isla Myers-Smith博士对这项研究持客观态度。故选C。

A teenager of 17 walks into a corner store and grabs a Coca-Cola, but the cashier refuses to sell it to him because he is underage. That rule is expected to soon become reality in parts of Mexico, as lawmakers in several states push legislation(立法) to keep junk food away from children. "I know it can sound a bit difficult but we have to take action now," says Lopez, a lawmaker in Oaxaca's Congress.
More than 70, 000 Mexicans have died from COVID-19, the world's fourth-highest recorded death toll, tracked by Johns Hopkins University. 89% of those who died in Mexico had an underlying(内在的) medical condition such as obesity, diabetes(糖尿病), high blood pressure and heart problems. That has led to a new urgency to change diets so that the younger generation doesn't suffer those illnesses.
The critics, however, say the leaders are using preexisting health conditions in COVID-19 patients to distract from a weak government response to the virus outbreak. Yet few people would deny that the country consumes large amounts of sugar-sweetened drinks and processed snacks with little nutrition — or that Mexico has a major weight problem.
Oaxaca's governor approved the state's junk food prohibition( 禁止) last week. Legislators still have to complete the legal systems, and punishment could include fines and even jail. Lopez says legislators from all over the country have called her for advice. Many other states are debating a junk food ban. However, a nationwide law would not be easy. "There are powerful commercial interests that least want it to happen, but we must prioritize(优先考虑) the well-being of our children," Lopez says.
58．What is Lopez's attitude towards the junk food
A．Positive. B．Neutral. C．Negative. D．Indifferent.
59．What does the underlined word "distract" mean in paragraph 3
A．Shift attention. B．Avoid illnesses.
C．Break away. D．Keep distance.
60．Which of the following statements is true
A．Selling children junk food has been banned nationwide in Mexico.
B．The younger generation doesn't suffer any weight problems.
C．Most Mexicans who died of COVID-19 had other health problems.
D．People who break the prohibition in Oaxaca will only be warned.
61．According to the last paragraph, who are most likely to oppose the legislation
A．Teenagers. B．Soft drink companies.
C．Legislators. D．State governors.
【答案】58．C
59．A

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了墨西哥瓦哈卡州正在推动立法，禁止儿童食用垃圾食品。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇新闻报道，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
58．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“ That rule is expected to soon become reality in parts of Mexico, as lawmakers in several states push legislation(立法) to keep junk food away from children.‘I know it can sound a bit difficult but we have to take action now,’ says Lopez, a lawmaker in Oaxaca's Congress.”这一规定预计很快将在墨西哥部分地区成为现实，因为一些州的立法者正在推动立法，禁止儿童食用垃圾食品。我知道这听起来有点困难，但我们现在必须采取行动，”瓦哈卡州会议员洛佩兹说。可知，洛佩兹对垃圾食品持否定态度，故选C。
59．考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“a weak government response to the virus outbreak.”可知，政府在应对新冠病毒上是乏力的，因此此处是说批评人士认为领导人拿新冠患者先前存在的健康状况当借口来转移公众对政府应对乏力的注意力，可推断划线词词 distract 为“转移注意力”，故选A。
60．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“More than 70, 000 Mexicans have died from COVID-19, the world's fourth-highest recorded death toll, tracked by Johns Hopkins University. 89% of those who died in Mexico had an underlying(内在的) medical condition such as obesity, diabetes(糖尿病), high blood pressure and heart problems.”据约翰·霍普金斯大学追踪，新冠肺炎已导致7万多墨西哥人死亡，这是世界上有记录以来死亡人数第四高的国家。墨西哥89%的死亡者有肥胖、糖尿病、高血压和心脏病等潜在疾病。可知，很多死于新冠病毒的墨西哥人有其他健康问题，故选C。
61．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“‘There are powerful commercial interests that least want it to happen, but we must prioritize the well-being of our children,’ Lopez says.”“有强大的商业利益集团最不希望这种情况发生，但我们必须优先考虑我们孩子的福祉”；并结合第一段中的“A teenager of 17 walks into a corner store and grabs a Coca-Cola, but the cashier refuses to sell it to him because he is underage.”一个17岁的少年走进街角的一家商店，拿了一瓶可口可乐，但是收银员拒绝卖给他，因为他还未成年。可知，饮料公司的利益受到的冲击最大，最有可能反对这项立法，故选B。

In New Brighton, Minnesota, the Bartz brothers (Connor, Austin, and Trevor) have built beautiful snow sculptures in their front yard for the past five years. But they're not ordinary snowmen — they're huge and sea-themed!
The tradition began in 2012, after a family fishing trip in Florida, where Connor, then 17, caught a puffer fish(河豚鱼). It encouraged the boys to make a super-sized fish out of snow. So they got to work, collecting as much snow as possible from around their neighborhood. After eight hours of shoveling( 用铲子铲) and sculpting snow their 5-foot-tall puffer fish was complete. And it was a big hit! Before long, the locals and TV reporters began stopping by their front yard to enjoy their creation.
"Each winter, we decide which sea animals would work best and be the most fun to build," Trevor said. Since 2012, they've made a shark, a turtle, an octopus( 章鱼) and so on. Their favorite is the octopus, which they built in 2016. It is their biggest sculpture yet, taking nearly 500 hours and 150 tons of snow to make!
The brothers also made sure it was just as much fun for visitors. "We liked that it was kid-friendly, with tentacles(触须) you could slide under," Connor said. Named by Facebook fans, Octavius the octopus was a star appearing on national news stations.
To make the most of their project, the boys decided to raise money for a good cause. "Given that our work is made from snow, it made sense to collect money to help provide drinking water to people in need," Austin said. They teamed up with One Day's Wages, an organization that provides clean water to people in Haiti. By the end of winter, the brothers had raised $17, 263!
Their advice for anyone with big dreams, "If you want to be successful, work hard and have a good attitude," Austin said. "Success might not come immediately, but take joy in what you are doing now. When we were younger, we made many snow creations that did not make the news, but we still had a pleasurable experience! "
62．What inspired the Bartz brothers to start their creations
A．Their family traditions. B．Their neighbors' praise.
C．Austin's snowmen D．A fish caught by Connor.
63．Which one is TRUE about Octavius the octopus
A．It was the boys' first creation.
B．It was the boys' smallest sculpture.
C．It attracted wide attention.
D．It helped the boys make a lot of money.
64．What suggestion did the Bartz brothers make
A．Think twice. B．Start small and enjoy it.
C．Learn to be creative. D．Make use of everything.
65．Which of the following can best describe the Bartz brothers
A．Childish and friendly. B．Imaginative and caring.
C．Open-minded and smart. D．Hard-working and courageous.
【答案】62．D

It encouraged the boys to make a super-sized fish out of snow.”这一传统始于2012年，当时17岁的康纳在佛罗里达州的一次家庭钓鱼之旅后捕捉到了一条河豚。它鼓励男孩们用雪做一条超大的鱼。可知，康纳在一次钓鱼旅行时捕了一条河豚鱼，这让三兄弟萌生出了用雪堆一条大鱼的想法。故选D。
63．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Named by Facebook fans, Octavius the octopus was a star, appearing on national news stations.”被Facebook粉丝命名为Octavius的章鱼是出现在国家新闻电台的明星。可知，三兄弟做的章鱼雪雕集观赏性、娱乐性于一身，引起了人们的广泛关注。故选C。

When we were younger, we made many snow creations that did not make the news, but we still had a pleasurable experience! ”成功可能不会马上到来，但要为你现在所做的事情感到高兴。当我们年轻的时候，我们做了很多雪的创作，但没有成为新闻，但我们仍然有一次愉快的经历！可知，三兄弟给有梦想的人的建议是：成功不是一蹴而就的，要从小事做起，并学会乐在其中。故选B。
65．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Since 2012, they’ve made a shark, a turtle, an octopus and so on”从2012年开始，他们制作了鲨鱼、海龟、章鱼等等；以及倒数第二段中三兄弟与保护饮水资源组织的合作并为其筹款的事情可知，他们既富有创造性又有爱心。故选B。

The Weather of the Future
As winter takes its icy grip, and we head outside into a cold and crisp morning, we might be dreaming of warmer and sunnier days that lie ahead. Although, for many, summer might give us the most 11． weather, our changing climate might mean that our chilly winter season becomes a thing of the past. So maybe we should enjoy it while we can.
Last year, the World Meteorological Organization found that the Earth continued to endure a period of 12． heating, making it one of the three hottest years on record. The most notable warmth was in the Siberian Arctic, where temperatures were 5℃ above average. The evidence shows that much of this climate warming is 13． by human activity.
With a(n) 14． in meteorological (气象的) conditions, we're likely to see more record-breaking temperatures, where, in certain places, summers will be 15． hot and winters mild. This means for some, snowy winters could become a thing of the 16． . In the UK, a series of projections, 17． on accelerating global emissions, found that the average coldest day would not drop below 18． point. Dr. Lizzie Kendon, a senior Met Office scientist, said, "It could mean the end of sledging (滑雪橇), snowmen and snowball fights... the overall 19． is warmer, wetter winters; hotter, drier summers." She's described this as" a wake-up call".
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the obvious way to slow the rate of change in our climate. Some nations are promising to do this, but already we're experiencing less snowfall and fewer frosty mornings. And on a bigger scale, glaciers are 20． . According to modelling by Aberystwyth University in the UK, up to 92% of glaciers in the Alps could be lost by the end of the century due to climate change. So, if you're lucky enough to be looking out on a winter wonderland, get outside and make the most of it before it melts.

The populations of common animals are just as likely to rise or fall in number in a time of accelerating(加速) global warming as those of rare species, a study suggests.
Until recently, scientists were still accumulating data on how animal populations were shifting over time globally across the different regions of the planet.
Making use of the newly available data, a team of University of Edinburgh researchers studied nearly 10, 000 animal populations recorded in the Living Planet Database between 1970 and 2014 to provide a new perspective on animal population change. These include records of mammals, reptiles, sharks, fish, birds and amphibians(两栖动物).
The team found that 15 percent of all populations declined during the period, while 18 percent increased and 67 percent showed no significant change. Amphibians were the only group in which population sizes declined, while birds, mammals and reptiles experienced increases. The overall decline in amphibians makes them a priority for conservation efforts, researchers say, as their loss could have knock-on effects in food chains and wider ecosystems.
Gergana Daskalova, of the University of Edinburgh's School of GeoSciences, who led the study, said, "We often assume that declines in animal numbers are prevalent everywhere. But we found that there are also many species which have increased over the last half of a century, such as those which do well in human-transformed landscapes or those which are the focus of conservation actions."
Dr. Isla Myers -Smith, also of the School of GeoSciences, who co-authored the study, said, "Only as we bring together data from around the world, can we begin to really understand how global change is influencing the biodiversity (生物多样性) of our planet."
54．With the global temperature rising, what happens to the animals
A．Rare animal species tend to decline.
B．Common animal species tend to increase.
C．The population of common animals changes just like rare ones.
D．Global warming is accelerating with the loss of animal species.
55．How did scientists carry out the study
A．By recording the data of animals. B．By studying animals' behavior.
C．By comparing different studies. D．By analyzing existing information.
56．What does the underlined word "prevalent" in Paragraph 5 mean
A．common. B．sharp. C．steady. D．relative.

A．Subjective. B．Optimistic. C．Objective. D．Pessimistic.

A teenager of 17 walks into a corner store and grabs a Coca-Cola, but the cashier refuses to sell it to him because he is underage. That rule is expected to soon become reality in parts of Mexico, as lawmakers in several states push legislation(立法) to keep junk food away from children. "I know it can sound a bit difficult but we have to take action now," says Lopez, a lawmaker in Oaxaca's Congress.
More than 70, 000 Mexicans have died from COVID-19, the world's fourth-highest recorded death toll, tracked by Johns Hopkins University. 89% of those who died in Mexico had an underlying(内在的) medical condition such as obesity, diabetes(糖尿病), high blood pressure and heart problems.

In New Brighton, Minnesota, the Bartz brothers (Connor, Austin, and Trevor) have built beautiful snow sculptures in their front yard for the past five years. But they're not ordinary snowmen — they're huge and sea-themed!
The tradition began in 2012, after a family fishing trip in Florida, where Connor, then 17, caught a puffer fish(河豚鱼). It encouraged the boys to make a super-sized fish out of snow. So they got to work, collecting as much snow as possible from around their neighborhood. After eight hours of shoveling( 用铲子铲) and sculpting snow their 5-foot-tall puffer fish was complete. And it was a big hit! Before long, the locals and TV reporters began stopping by their front yard to enjoy their creation.
"Each winter, we decide which sea animals would work best and be the most fun to build," Trevor said. Since 2012, they've made a shark, a turtle, an octopus( 章鱼) and so on. Their favorite is the octopus, which they built in 2016. It is their biggest sculpture yet, taking nearly 500 hours and 150 tons of snow to make!
The brothers also made sure it was just as much fun for visitors. "We liked that it was kid-friendly, with tentacles(触须) you could slide under," Connor said. Named by Facebook fans, Octavius the octopus was a star appearing on national news stations.
To make the most of their project, the boys decided to raise money for a good cause. "Given that our work is made from snow, it made sense to collect money to help provide drinking water to people in need," Austin said. They teamed up with One Day's Wages, an organization that provides clean water to people in Haiti. By the end of winter, the brothers had raised $17, 263!
Their advice for anyone with big dreams, "If you want to be successful, work hard and have a good attitude," Austin said. "Success might not come immediately, but take joy in what you are doing now. When we were younger, we made many snow creations that did not make the news, but we still had a pleasurable experience! "
