Tom was pleased to get a role in the school play. It wasn’t a major role and he
had only four or five lines. However, he worked hard at perfecting the lines,
repeating them in front of a mirror over and over again, as his drama teacher had
suggested. He had great fun rehearsing (排练) with the older students. Then finally
the big night came.
Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of audience. He looked
around at those experienced actors and saw the confidence they’d shown at
rehearsal seemed to have disappeared. Everyone was on edge. When Tom got on
stage, he couldn’t help hurrying into the words he had repeated so many times
before. He tried to slow down but, thinking about doing that, he suddenly realized
he had missed a sentence. With no time to think it over, he carried on. When he
stepped off the stage, his hands felt sweaty and his heart was racing. He didn’t
think about what he had achieved. Instead, he was beating himself up for the
mistake that he had made.
The audience, of course, didn’t know he had missed a sentence. In fact, no one
noticed it except his drama teacher. “Well done, ” she said. “Acting is like learning
to ride a bike. You may fall off a few times, yet each time you get back on, you do
it better. Your performance may not have been perfect but, for your first time, it
was great. ”
The drama teacher’s words put Tom’s mind at ease. He caught the look of his
face in a mirror, which was smiling back at him. Without knowing it, he raised two
hands with his thumbs (拇指)up.
24.What do we know about Tom before the big night
A.He was sad about his limited lines.
B.He expected a major role in the play.
C.He worked hard to prepare for the play.
D.He was confident of the play’s success.
25.How did Tom feel when he finished the performance
A.Regretful. B.Relieved. C.Hopeful. D.Confused.
26.Why did Tom raise his hands with thumbs up in the end
A.He got his teacher’s forgiveness.

What is the most shocking about the heatwave affecting the Pacific Northwest
is not that it has hit a usually mild area, nor that so many long-standing temperature
records are being broken. It is that those records are being broken by such large
margins ( 幅 度 ). In Portland, Oregon, temperature reached 46.6℃(116°F) —
making it one of several cities in the region where former records have been beaten
by a full 5℃(9°F). At the same time, heatwaves are also hitting central Europe and
even Siberia.
Heatwaves may become headlines, but less attention is paid to them. In 2018
about 300,000 people over the age of 65 died as a result of extreme heat, mainly in
India, a 54% increase since 2000, according to a report in the Lancet, a medical
journal. The report also shows that, unlike storms and floods, heat does not lead to
dramatic before-and-after pictures or widespread damage to belongings. It is a
silent killer. As many as 70,000 people died due to a heatwave in Europe in 2003.
Heat also kills by worsening health conditions such as heart problems, so not
all the deaths it causes may be directly attributed (归因) to it. Climate change will
make heatwaves more common and more extreme. Even if greenhouse-gas
emissions (排放) are cut to zero by the middle of this century, temperatures will go
on rising for decades. So other measures are needed to protect people against
extreme heat.
Governments can set up early warning systems to alarm health workers, shut
down schools and stop outdoor activities. They can provide the public with
forecasts of coming heatwaves, explanations of the dangers and detailed advice on
what to do. Improved facilities can also help. This includes providing shaded areas,
water parks and “misting stations” to help people cool down, and get to
airconditioned “cooling centers” where they can find shelter and sleep if necessary.
The world is, undoubtedly, facing a big health challenge right now. There is no
excuse for ignoring heatwaves and their effects.
28.What shocks us most about the heatwave in the Pacific Northwest
A.It has stricken a usually mild area.
B.It hits central Europe except Siberia.

C.Many temperature records are being broken.
D.Many records are being broken by large margins.
29.What can we learn from the report in the Lancer
A.People have paid much attention to heatwaves.
B.Heat doesn’t cause widespread damage to belongings.
C.The damage of heat is as obvious as storms and floods.
D.About 300,000 middle-aged people died from extreme heat.
30.What can governments do to protect people against heatwaves
A.Provide some cool places. B.Build nursing homes.
C.Organize outdoor activities. D.Shelter the homeless.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Improving Public Facilities B.Taking Heatwaves Seriously
C.Preventing Natural Disasters D.Reducing Greenhouse-gas Emission

New genetically modified (转基因) apples designed by a biology company are
being released this fall but won’t be labeled as GMOs (转基因生物). They’re
called Arctic apples, whose genes have been changed from their original Golden
Delicious state to make sure that after the fruits are cut open and exposed to the air,
their flesh won’t turn brown in color.
The development company, Okanagan Specialty Fruits, says the apples may be
on sale as bagged slices in up to 400 stores this season throughout the Midwest and
Southern California. The fruit won’t bear the standard “produced with genetic
engineering” label because of a 2016 law allowing codes to be visible on the
packaging that link to a website with information on how the fruit was made.
The apples were made using a technique called gene silencing. The Okanagan
team engineered the fruit’s DNA to produce less enzyme (酶) that causes the white,
inner flesh to brown so that the new and improved slices will stay fresh for up to
three weeks. Although there are only about 250 acres of Arctic apple trees currently
planted across the US, the team hopes GMO fruits can reduce waste and increase
apple sales overall.
While some experts believe that the Arctic apple’s GMO status isn’t harmful,
groups opposing GMOs have started protesting the apples. An organization called
Friends of the Earth claims that they’re “understudied, unlabeled and unnecessary.”
Right now, apple slices treated with calcium and vitamin C can be purchased off
Amazon with the promise of not browning before they arrive on the customer’s
doorstep. And, a little bit of lemon juice is an easier and more natural way to
prevent cut apples from turning color for a few hours.
32. The Arctic apples will not be labeled “GMO” because ________.
A. actually these apples are not genetically modified food

B. the fruit will be sold as bagged slices in up to 400 stores
C. there is not enough space for the label on the packaging
D. information of their apples can be checked on the Internet
33. How do Arctic apples stay fresh according to the Okanagan team
A. By changing the fruit’s DNA to reduce relevant enzyme.
B. By decreasing the percentage of engineers in the team.
C. By treating apple slices with calcium and vitamin C.
D. By adding a little bit of lemon juice to the slices.
34. What is the Friends of the Earth’s attitude to Arctic apples
A. Disapproving. B. Indifferent.
C. Favorable. D. Cautious.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A Novel Way to Keep Arctic Apples From Turning color.
B. Protest against Apples Entering US Markets due to the label.
C. GMApples That Don’t Brown to Reach US Shelves This Fall.
D. Apples That Can Stay Free of Browning as Long as Three Months.
