21、Climate activist Henry Emson told Euronews that when he became a father seven years ago, he was worried about his family’s effect on the environment. After doing some research, he found the best way to eliminate their carbon footprint was by planting giant sequoia trees(巨型红杉树).

Giant sequoias are ideal for capturing carbon dioxide because they continue to grow consistently for centuries, storing CO2 over time. General Sherman, the world’s largest sequoia tree, has stored an estimated 1,500 tons of CO2 in its trunk over the last 2,200 years and could live another 800 years. The average human could generate close to 1,000 tons of CO2 over their lifetime, so planting one giant sequoia could effectively reduce the carbon footprint of more than one person.

After realizing the power giant sequoias have to fight climate change, Emson devoted his life to planting thousands in the UK by creating the One Life One Tree project. Its final goal is to plant 100,000 giant sequoias in the UK by 2030, and according to The Mirror, as of March 2022, it has already planted 700. Trees are currently being planted near Abergavenny in Wales and the project is expanding to Devon, the Lake District and Scotland.

While the common assumption is that these giant trees can only be grown in Northern California, they actually do well in the UK at a time when the sequoia population is threatened back home.

According to One Tree One Life, 95% of the old-growth sequoia population has been logged over the past two centuries and what remains is under threat from climate change. “A 10 year＋ drought and temperature increase have greatly damaged the health of the trees. A secondary impact of the drought is making them increasingly susceptible(易受影响的)to insect attack and fire,” the site says.

Considering the danger that climate change is causing giant sequoias in California, Emson’s work also benefits these trees. “They’re like climate refugees(难民)—we help them with assisted migration,” he told Euronews.

【1】What does the underlined word “eliminate” in the first paragraph probably mean?

A．Measure.

B．Remove.

C．Overlook.

D．Spread.

【2】How does the text mainly show giant sequoias’ ability to store CO2?

A．By giving an example.

B．By doing an experiment.

C．By making comparisons.

D．By referring to comments.

【3】Why did Henry Emson launch the One Life One Tree project?

A．To protect the environment by planting trees.

B．To test the adaptability of giant sequoia trees.

C．To save different kinds of endangered trees.

D．To prove the value of giant sequoias to his kids.

【4】What can be learned about Henry Emson’s work?

A．It disturbs the whole ecosystem of California.

B．It indirectly turns giant sequoias into refugees.

C．It helps promote the survival of giant sequoias.

D．It assists California in recovering from drought.

22、I started the latest round of the NutriFit programme weeks ago. We take about 45 minutes to go through participants’ health records, previous diets, expectations, and levels of willingness to change to customize the programme to meet each individual’s needs.

I was shocked by one thing. When it comes to weight-loss goals, I usually ask, When was the last time you were happy with your body? The reply usually relates to pre-wedding, pre-kids, pre-college—the usual suspects. However this time, almost everyone said, “Of course, I wasn’t happy with it then, but I’d be happy with it now!”

It made me stop to think. For most of us, no matter how much we don’t really like the body shape, there will likely be a point in the future when we would kill for the body we currently have. I don’t mean to upset anyone from improving their health right now. But maybe we need to stop and smell the roses. We should be happy and grateful for our bodies exactly as they are.

That’s why NutriFit has changed into something much more holistic. Now we have every shape and size taking part, but the goals are so much bigger: disease prevention, more energy and clarity, better immunity, well-balanced hormones... the list goes on. Yes, we get great body part results, but you are about so much more than what your body looks like.

In my opinion, the key rule of a successful nutrition programme is to be based on real food. If you focus more on balanced diets and less on weight, it becomes a mentally healthier process. If you’re going to maintain your new, healthy lifestyle, it needs to be something you actively enjoy—a lifestyle that you want to maintain. If you eat healthily because you want to rather than you have to, life gets 1,000 percent easier.

【1】What did the author do to customize the programme for individuals?

A．Analyze and adjust participants’ dietary structure.

B．Examine participants’ physical health condition.

C．Make clear of people’s health history and plans

D．Introduce the programme in detail.

【2】What made the author shocked?

A．People’s discontent with their previous life.

B．People’s optimism about their current body.

C．People’s satisfaction with their former body.

D．Peoples ambitious goals of losing weight.

【3】What does NutriFit pay attention to now?

A．People’s image.

B．People’s health

C．People’s weight

D．People’s appearance

【4】What should a successful nutrition programme focus on in the author’s view?

A．A healthy lifestyle.

B．A sound exercise plan

C．Enough nutritious food

D．Weight loss.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

It was a beautiful day for sightseeing around downtown Portland. We were a bunch of campers on our day off, just out for some fun. The weather was perfect for a picnic, so when lunch time came, we set our sights on a small park in the town. Since we all had different appetites, we decided to split up, get what each of us wanted, and meet back on the grass in a few minutes.

When my friend Robby headed for a hot dog stand, I decided to keep her company. We watched the stand owner put together the perfect hot dog, just the way Robby wanted it. But when she took out her money to pay him, the man surprised us.

“It looks a little cool on the side,” he said, “so never mind paying me. This will be my free gift of the day.”

We said our thanks, joined our friends in the park, and dug into our food. But as we talked and ate, I was distracted by a man sitting alone nearby, looking at us. I could tell that he hadn’t showered for days. Another homeless person, I thought, like all the others you see in cities. I didn’t pay much more attention than that.

We finished eating and decided to head off for more sightseeing. But when Robby and I went to the garbage can to throw away my lunch bag, I heard a weak voice ask, “There isn’t any food in that bag, is there? ”

It was the man who had been watching us. I didn’t know what to say. “No, I ate it already. ”

“Oh!” was his only answer. He was obviously hungry, couldn’t bear to see anything thrown away, and was used to asking this question.

I felt bad for the man, but I didn’t know what I could do. That’s when Robby said, “I’ll be right back. Please wait a minute,” and ran off.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右；
