23、Twenty years ago, crises like the California’s wildfires and Hurricane Laura that occurred last year could have been described as “natural disasters”. Thanks to climate change, this is no longer the case. Around mid-August last year, the temperature in Death Valley once reached the highest ever recorded on Earth. A hotter, drier California is much more likely to burst into flames. The Gulf of Mexico too is heating up. Hurricanes draw their energy from the warmth of the surface waters and so are becoming stronger and more likely to increase. Perhaps we should call these events in a new term, “man-made natural disasters”.
People now play such an important role on the planet. By cutting down forests and digging mines and building cities, we’ve changed half of the ice-free land on Earth. With our advanced tools, we move around more earth than all the world’s rivers and streams. As a result, all sorts of disasters extend across the line between man and nature. Many earthquakes, for example, are now caused by human activity. Meanwhile, as the climate continues to warm, wildfires will grow even larger and storms more damaging.
What’s to be done? According to some scientists, the best way to deal with human intervention in the natural world is to intervene better. Old technologies got us into this situation; new ones will get us out. Supporters of this view note the striking advances that are being made all the time, in fields ranging from computing to material science. To prevent climate change, engineers have built machines that take CO2 out of the air. Today the numbers are limited, but perhaps one day they’ll be as common as telephones.
As for me, I think that the choice we face is not whether to change the world; that decision unfortunately has been made. The decision going forward is how are we going to change it. Over the years I’ve interviewed scores of scientists, inventors, and industrialists, and I’m continually impressed by how clever humans are as a species. But then the wind blows in smoke from 3,000 miles away, and I’m reminded of how dangerous we are as well.
【1】What does the first two paragraphs want to tell us?
A.Natural disasters have become much more severe.
B.People have changed the earth with advanced tools.
C.Natural disasters now are caused by human activity.
D.People now play such an important role on the planet.
【2】Why does the author mention machines that take CO2 out of the air?
A.To prove that greenhouse effect problems are solvable.
B.To explain that we can intervene better in the natural world.
C.To show that technological advances are striking all the time.
D.To indicate that new technologies will be very common one day.
【3】According to the last paragraph, the author would agree that ________.
A.we should not change the world any more
B.we should feel proud of humans’ intelligence
C.we should reconsider the way we change the world
D.people should be aware of the potential threat from human activity

26、概要写作
An allergy, also known as an allergic disease, is an immune system reaction to normally harmless things, such as dust,plants, animals or certain foods. Symptoms vary depending on the allergy. Common cold symptoms such as low fever, sneezing, and a sore throat may all indicate allergies.
What causes an allergic reaction is a question still puzzling scientists. Types of allergies have greatly increase since the mid-20th century, leading some experts to suggest the increased environmental pollution is held responsible. Some experts suggest that allergies are related with genes with twins being particularly likely to share the same problems. Often,an allergic reaction will develop in childhoods but since many reactions are likely to worsen with repeated exposure, symptoms can start to appear at any age. However,some people may overcome childhood allergies with age growing.
Testing for an allergy can be a tricky process,particularly if an allergic reaction could threaten the victim's life. Doctors often use a skin test method for a variety of possible allergic reactions. In skin testing, a tiny amount of an allergen (过敏原) is shot into a marked place of skin to see if the skin reacts negatively. If serious reactions are a concern , doctors can also use a blood test, although this takes more time and may be less accurate than skin testing.
Treatment may depend on the type and severe degree of the patient allergic response. In some mild cases, such as sneezing caused by animal exposure, patients are told to avoid exposure when possible. Avoiding the food is also key with many food allergies, particularly those that can cause severe responses. When avoiding is impossible,some doctors may recommend shots. This intends to build up tolerance in the immune system by exposing the patient to increasing small amounts of the allergen over time.
