21、A new study shows that rising levels of planet-warming gasses may reduce important nutrients in food crops.
Other studies have shown that higher temperatures from climate change and weather extremes will reduce food production. But scientists are finding that rising levels of carbon dioxide and other planet-warming gasses threaten food quality.
Researchers studied the effects of one such gas—carbon dioxide—on rice. They grew 18 kinds of rice in fields in China and Japan in a controlled environment. They set carbon dioxide levels to what scientists are predicting for our planet by the end of the century. They found that the resulting rice crops had lower than normal levels of vitamins, minerals and protein.
Rice grown under high carbon dioxide conditions had, on average, 13 to 30 percent lower levels of four B vitamins and 10 percent less protein. The crops also had 8 percent less iron and 5 percent less zinc (锌) than rice grown under normal conditions.
The researchers said the effects of planet-warming gasses would be most severe for the poorest citizens in some of the least developed countries. These people generally eat the most rice and have the least complex diets, they noted. Scientists estimated that almost 150 million people might be at risk of having too little protein or zinc in their diet by 2050.
One scientist, Sam Myers of Harvard University of Massachusetts, US, said that findings like this are an example of the surprises climate change creates. “My concern is, there are many more surprises to come,” he said.
Myers noted that pollution, loss of some species, destruction of forests, and other human activities are likely to produce unexpected problems. He said that you cannot completely change all the natural systems that living organisms have grown to depend on over millions of years without having effects come back to affect our own health.
The new study suggests a way to lower the nutritional harm of climate change—to grow different forms of rice that have shown to be more resistant to higher carbon dioxide levels.
【1】According to the latest study, how do higher temperatures affect crops?
A．They remove the nutrition.
B．They worsen the quality.
C．They lower the production.
D．They decrease the species.
【2】What can be inferred from the text?
A．Asian crops contain more nutrients.
B．Rice is grown in restricted conditions.
C．Crops grown with lower CO2 are healthier.
D．Poor people suffer a lot from food shortage.
【3】What does Sam Myers agree with?
A．Natural systems damage our health.
B．The nutritional harm should be lowered.
C．More effects are caused by climate changes.
D．Human activities result in health problems.
【4】What does the writer intend to do?
A．To introduce a study.
B．To clarify a fact.
C．To make a suggestion.
D．To show a concern.
22、“I’m not a reader.” It’s a common reply that Julia Torres, a teacher-librarian in Denver Public School, has heard throughout her 16-year career. She’s seen students tear up books, throw them away or check them out only to immediately return them all because they didn’t have confidence in their ability to read.
As a librarian, Torres feels strongly that libraries should be spaces of liberation, places where students can develop a love of reading at any stage. Reading is a skill that everyone can grow to love, but too many negative experiences during a child’s literacy (读写能力) education can result in boredom, lack of interest or even anger. When a student has a poor experience like being shamed for their reading choices, they can begin to associate reading with painful feelings of insecurity, shame and stress.
To prevent reading disorder (阅读障碍) practices, as Torres notes, librarians first can build an inclusive (内容丰富的) library where classified collections can make it easier for students to find out the books they want and also help identify gaps in the collections. Reevaluating librarians’ role is necessary, which allows students to take control of the library and have a say in what’s purchased for the collection, directly exciting students’ reading interest. Instead of hosting traditional book fairs where students have to pay for books, it is better to open up a True Book Fair, where students are invited to choose books intentionally to their interests without any costs. Librarians are recommended to read what students are reading. Another two important approaches to preventing reading disorder are to take a look at the library policies and redefine (重新定义) what counts as reading. It is necessary to get rid of fines, check-out limits, security gates, and punishment policies. Plus, students are encouraged to listen to audiobooks or read picture books. Find a way to teach important skills like comprehension or critical thinking with the texts that excite and interest students.
【1】What does the underlined sentence “I’m not a reader” in Paragraph 1 infer?
A．Some students are not interested in reading.
B．Some students have no ability to read books.
C．Some students don’t borrow books from the library.
D．Some students haven’t tried to read for entertainment.
【2】What is directly linked with exciting students’ reading interests?
A．Getting rid of library rules.
B．Making their own choices.
C．Librarians’ recommendation.
D．Reducing charges caused by reading.
【3】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．What leads to students’ difficulty in reading.
B．How negative reading experiences affect students.
C．How to reduce reading disorder as student librarians.
D．Why to decrease reading disorder as student librarians.
【4】What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A．To do a research on reading disorder.
B．To offer suggestions to the librarians.
C．To analyze why reading disorder forms.
D．To draw attention to reading disorder prevention.
23、 The nation watched with horror as wildfire in California damaged the town of Paradise and surrounding communities. It was the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history, killing 85 civilians and destroying nearly 14,000 residences. More than 50,000 people were left homeless.
Watching the news coverage from his home in Denver, Colorado, Woody Faircloth was saddened by the destruction. Many people found themselves homeless with nowhere to live. He just couldn’t imagine being in that position. He knew he wanted to do something to help. He set up a GoFundMe page and invited people to donate so they could purchase and restore a used RV (休闲车) for a family.
Through social media, Faircloth eventually got connected with a family of six that was greatly in need. Faircloth filled the RV with supplies and started the nearly 1,200-mile drive to California to deliver the vehicle. That first donated RV led to another and Faircloth had more than 100 requests for RVs from homeless families. Witnessing how great the need was, Faircloth turned his idea into a nonprofit organization, “we have a platform to help, we have to keep helping,” said Faircloth, whose group has so far given more than 65 RVs to wildfire survivors.
Today, only a minimal amount of rebuilding has begun in Paradise and a majority of the area’s displaced population is still homeless. Faircloth connects with RV owners interested in donating or selling their used RVs at a low cost. He refits the RVs himself and negotiates costs when he needs to hire professional mechanics for heavy-duty repairs. Once the RV is ready to go, Faircloth organizes a way to transport it to the survivors. The work is constant for Faircloth, who also has to do his fulltime job as an account manager. But seeing the impact of his efforts inspires him to keep going. “We have made connections with people at their most vulnerable (脆弱的) moment. It’s such a powerful thing for them,” Faircloth said.
【1】How did the writer show the terrible damage of the wildfire?
A．By repeating facts.
B．By describing the process.
C．By listing figures.
D．By quoting sayings.
【2】Why did Faircloth set up a GoFundMe page?
A．He wanted people to donate food supplies to survivors.
B．He tried to raise money to buy used RVs for survivors.
C．He wanted to connect with the families in need.
D．He hoped to raise funds to rebuild homes for victims.
【3】What can we know about Faircloth’s nonprofit organization?
A．It has delivered over 65 RVs to homeless survivors.
B．It rebuilt Paradise within a minimal amount of time.
C．It sold used RVs to wildfire victims at a low cost
D．It invited mechanics to repair RVs free of charge.
【4】Which word can best describe Faircloth?

B．Honest.
C．Independent.
D．Caring.
24、 Later this month, the city center of London will be car-free for the day. More than 12 miles of roads in the capital will be closed off from vehicles. Though the car-free day is largely symbolic, the government expects people can walk or ride bikes more often instead of driving cars after the activity.
Besides London, there are other cities around the world doing the same thing. Oslo, Paris and Montreal have experimented with a variety of ways to ban cars. Barcelona has created some superblocks as part of a plan to limit vehicles in 70 percent of the city’s streets. Leaders in some US cities are also exploring plans to extremely cut down on cars and promote walking, bikes and other forms of travel.
Some people point out cars block city streets while producing harmful chemicals into the air, creating noise pollution and endangering people around them. Cars take up a huge amount of room that could be used to create more enjoyable living space for people. So, limiting the number of drivers on the road is also seen as a major step in fighting climate change.
However, others say the plans of car-free areas are unrealistic, considering the large amount of money spent on the basic systems and services and public transportation that would be required to make them successful. Some argue they would unfairly benefit rich people who have enough money to live in city centers while making travel more difficult for less affluent people in the suburbs.
Most of the early success stories of car-free areas have taken place in dense (密集的）European cities that were designed before cars existed，which leads to a question -- whether the idea would work in modem cities that were built to provide space for cars. Therefore, large-scale changes that would make car-free city living possible would likely take years to take place. And at each step, public sentiment (情绪）and political will must be behind the movement.
【1】Several cities are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to show________.
A．people around the world are in favor of car-free cities.
B．car-free cities have already appeared in large numbers.
C．governments have a major effect on car-free city plans.
D．many cities are making efforts to reduce cars in the streets.
【2】What does the underlined word “affluent” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Healthy.
B．Wealthy.
C．Famous.
D．Educated.
【3】What is the author's attitude towards the development of car-free cities?
A．Positive.
B．Negative.
C．Objective.
D．Doubtful.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Mr Jackson was a well-respected teacher in their small town. He had always paid much attention to his students, especially the ones who needed help. When he noticed that one of his students, Emily, was not getting on the school bus with all the other children and that her exam results had dropped a bit, he became worried.
One day, he decided to follow her and was surprised when he saw her walking towards an old factory building. He parked his car a few blocks away from the factory and waited for Emily to enter. After a few minutes, he carefully moved toward the building, his heart racing with each step.
As he entered the dark and dirty inside of the building, his mind was flooded with a sense of pity. Then he saw Emily sitting on the floor, surrounded(包围) by her textbooks and notebooks.
“Emily, what are you doing here?” Mr Jackson asked, surprised.
Emily looked up and was surprised to see her teacher. She said, “Oh, Mr Jackson! I came here to do my homework. It’s quiet here, and I feel safe.”
“Why don’t you go home?” he asked, his concern(担忧) growing.
“I live with my mother. Recently, my mother lost her job and we haven’t found a house yet,” she replied. “And my father used to work here, so it’s a familiar place to me.”
Mr Jackson was heartbroken to hear this. He knew he had to do something to help Emily. He sat down beside Emily and asked her to tell him everything that was going on.
Emily shared stories about her father, who had passed away a few years before. She talked about how her mother had struggled(努力) to make ends meet.
Mr Jackson listened carefully. The more he knew about Emily, the more he realized that being a teacher was not only about teaching subjects, it was also about shaping young minds and making a difference to their lives. He decided to take action.
Paragraph 1:
The next day, Mr Jackson went to see Emily’s mother.
