21、 Much of the United States is locked by an unusually large winter storm, which has sent temperatures dropping sharply across the country, from coast to coast and as far south as southern Texas. In many areas, ice and snow storms have added to the challenges. Only a few areas in the south have dodged the freezing weather pattern. The National Weather Service( NWS) says that a winter storm, this large and this serious, has almost never been seen before.
The NWS reports that over 150 million Americans were under winter storm warnings. In Texas, over 2.7 million people were left without power on Monday. Texas isn't used to such serious winter weather. In the city of Houston, temperatures have dropped to - 9℃. The storm has led to huge, deadly highway accidents, and has forced its airport to cancel flights. On Sunday, President Joe Biden declared an emergency in Texas, allowing the state to get more help for the weather disaster from the US government. Several other states have declared some sort of weather-related emergency. In Washington and Oregon, warming shelters were opened to help people stay warm and safe.
The NWS says cold air from the Arctic is behind the record-breaking low temperatures. Though it may seem surprising, global warming may be one of the causes. A strong wind known as the jet stream usually flows in a circle around the Arctic, keeping super-cold air near the North Pole. But as the jet stream weakens because of climate change, the cold air is able to escape the Arctic and bring freezing temperatures to places that are normally much warmer.
The NWS is forecasting there’ll be more snow and freezing rain over the next few days as a new storm cuts up toward the Northeast from the middle of the country. The NWS says that much of the country will continue to have extremely cold temperatures, and it's likely that hundreds of cold weather records will be broken. Perhaps, people should think about the consequences of global warming.
【1】Which can best replace the underlined word “dodged” in paragraph 1?
A．Seen.
B．Recorded.
C．Avoided.
D．Defeated.
【2】Why does the author mention Texas?
A．It’s hit the hardest by extreme weather.
B．It's brought the super cold under control.
C．It's the first to warn of the climate disaster.
D．It's helping other states with the winter storm.
【3】What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A．How the jet stream forms in the Arctic.
B．What causes the extreme cold in America.
C．Why the cold air escapes from the Arctic.
D．When the global warming affects America.
【4】What is the NWS’s prediction about the rough weather?
A．It’ll change climate permanently.
B．It’ll cause another new storm.
C．It’ll lessen global warming.
D．It’ll go on for some time.
22、Camping Tips for Survival
You learn a lot about yourself when you camp. Your patience will be tested when setting up a tent or building a fire. You’ll see food from a whole new aspect. 【1】 Here are some tips guaranteed to make your outdoor adventure a bit more agreeable.
Make a stove from a beer can.
With a knife, some alcohol and a little bit of courage, you can transform a beer can into a great camp stove that will boil water in 5-6 minutes. 【2】
Protect your tent against water with sealant (密封材料).
We did it, and it’s remarkably simple. 【3】 Getting caught in thunderstorms can easily make your otherwise great weekend a worse one, but it doesn’t have to.
【4】
Lyme disease (莱姆病) is on the rise. I’ve been caught by worms firsthand and know how annoying it can be. Mix up about 40 drops of tea tree oil with around 12-16 grams of water and spray it on. Even if you don’t meet any worms, you’ll smell uncharacteristically good.
Use a rope and a tarp (油布) to create just about anything you’d ever need.
Most people will employ the rope as a line to hang wet clothes and a tarp as ground cover. 【5】
If you follow the above tips, you will have a wonderful camping experience.
A．Create coffee packets.
B．Pick up a can and spray everything.
C．Attack worms with water and tea tree oil.
D．Throw it under your tent to keep the floor dry overnight.

F．However, in a survival situation, they can be used together to create a warm, dry shelter.

23、Creativity Improves Your Health
Creativity helps us create works of beauty, solve problems, and refresh our bodies and our minds. It’s fun. When you are having fun, you are positively impacting your health. Studies show that engaging in creative behaviors improves brain function, mental health and physical health.
You’ve probably heard of flow — it’s the state you get in when you’re completely absorbed in something. Have you ever been working on a project and completely lost all sense of self and time? That’s flow. It reduces anxiety, boosts your mood, and even slows your heart rate.
It’s not just being in flow that makes you happy. Repetitive creative motions like knitting, drawing, or writing help activate flow, and are all tasks that create a result. When you succeed in creating a result, your brain is flooded with dopamine, a natural anti-depressant that actually helps motivate you, whether or not you’re aware of your increased happiness.
Creativity is also an effective treatment for patients with dementia — a serious illness of the mind. Studies show that creative engagement not only reduces depression and isolation, but can also help people with dementia by sharpening their senses.
The average person has about 60,000 thoughts in a day. A creative act such as crafting can help focus the mind, and has even been compared to meditation due to its calming effects on the brain and body. Even just gardening or sewing releases dopamine.
Creativity reduces anxiety, depression and stress. Studies have found that writing helps people manage their negative emotions in a productive way, and painting or drawing helps people express their mental injury or hurtful experiences that they find too difficult to put into words.
Studies show people who write about their experiences daily actually have stronger immune system function. Writing, a creative work, increases your CD4+ lymphocyte count, the key to your immune system.
Playing music can also function well in your immune system. Studies show that our left brain is responsible for the motor functions, while our right brain focuses on melody. When the two parts work together, our cognitive function improves.
It’s pretty amazing that doing the activities is good for us. Get a pen and start writing or coloring. Get your hands dirty with pottery or gardening or pick up an instrument. Whatever you decide to do, it’s time to start getting creative!
【1】Which situation shows that you are in flow?
A．You are working with a difficult task.
B．You are having a boring repetitive action.
C．You get lost and don’t know where to go.
D．You are absorbed in a work that interests you.
【2】The underlined word “dopamine” in Paragraph 3 is probably ________.
A．an awareness of how to be successful
B．a thought having calming effects on the brain
C．an activity to fight against your negative emotions
D．a material for the functioning of the nervous system
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Repetitive actions can cure patients with mental diseases.
B．Creative activities help you build a stronger immune system.
C．Meditation makes your anxiety, depression and stress disappear.
D．Telling others your hurtful experiences helps improve your health.
