21、 From the moment you open your eyes in the morning, you can feel sweat running down your body, even if you' re barely moving at all. That's what most people in China felt like this summer. In fact, the entire northern hemisphere(半球)saw high temperatures in July.
The Arctic Circle was no exception(例外). Temperatures in the city of Norilsk, which is in the Arctic Circle, reached a record high of 32 ℃, The Atlantic reported. Temperatures there are usually just 10 ℃ at this time of the year.
The heat wave in the Arctic is mainly a long-term result of global warming, according to the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences. In fact, while the whole world is getting warmer, the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet. This is called the polar amplification effect (极地放大效应).
The most direct impact of Arctic warming is the melting of Arctic ice. According to NASA, Arctic sea ice is now disappearing at a rate of 13.2 percent every 10 years. NASA said that if this continues, the Arctic will have no ice by the year 2040.
This has put some Arctic animals, like polar bears, in danger. The ice that the bears live on has shrunk(缩小), the Toronto Star reported.
Melting ice can also cause sea levels to rise in the long term. Since 1993, sea levels have risen at a rate of 3.2 cm every 10 years, the Guardian reported. Some countries, such as Tuvalu(图瓦鲁) in the South Pacific Ocean and Maldives(马尔代夫) in the Indian Ocean, are at risk of disappearing into the sea.
【1】Which of the following is true?
A.Some countries in the ocean will disappear in 10 years.
B.China is the hottest in the northern hemisphere this summer.
C.The world gets warmer because of the heat wave in the Arctic.
D.The temperatures in Norilsk used to be lower than this summer.
【2】What does the underlined word "this" in the third paragraph refer to?
A.The heat wave in the Arctic.
B.The result of global warming.
C.The Arctic getting warm faster.
D.Getting warmer in the world.
【3】What may be the result of the melting of Arctic ice?
A.The polar will become dangerous.
B.There will be an end of water shortage.
C.Sea levels rise in the long term.
D.There will be no ice in the world by 2040.
【4】What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Heat hits Arctic.
B.Arctic animals are in danger.
C.The world became hotter than before.
D.Some countries may disappear into the sea.
22、 Sweden and its Nordic neighbors have some of the highest literacy(读写能力) rates in the world. The Swedes view equal access to education and knowledge as important to an individual’s future success. This is true regardless of economic background or geographic location.
Sweden has a floating library—the bokbaten—that brings thousands of books to people on dozens of distant islands in the Stockholm archipelago(群岛) twice a year. Every spring and fall since 1953, the Stockholm Library Service has rented a boat for a week, loaded it full of books, and set a course for about 23 islands. When the boat arrives, residents climb aboard to return books they borrowed during the last visit and check out the library’s newest offerings. The boat carries about 3000 books, and residents can put in requests ahead of time. The three or four volunteer librarians who take turns working on the ship say that, as you might expect, the latest bestsellers are in high demand.
There are tall wooden shelves, large tables displaying solid hardcovers, book carts on wheels, a long checkout table, and event notices taped to the wall. There are picture books for children, popular novels, large-print books, texts about history and science and cookbooks. Since island residents can order copies in advance, boxes of books are piled around the boat waiting to be delivered.
The boat started as a service for fishermen and island workers and even residents who prefer to read hard copies of books rather than e-books or audio(有声) books. But even in a nation of book lovers, the future of the floating library remains uncertain. If the Regional Library cuts funding for the boat, the bokbaten will be no more. Hopefully, Sweden’s bokbaten will continue to operate as a wonderful nod to past traditions while educating people for the future.
【1】What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A．People in Sweden are equal in education.
B．Sweden’s economic success depends on education.
C．Sweden attaches great importance to education.
D．The Swedish are the most highly educated in the world.
【2】What do we know about the bokbaten from Paragraph 2?
A．It brings books to islanders.
B．It works all the year around.
C．Seven volunteers run it aboard by turns.
D．People could read bestsellers for free in it.
【3】What problem may the bokbaten be facing?
A．Bad weather.
B．A lack of money.
C．Books being stolen.
D．People poorly educated.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Sweden—a country of reading lovers
B．The bokbaten—a floating library
C．The feature of Sweden’s education
D．The history of Sweden’s bokbaten
23、In a rough inner-city area in the eastern U.S., a small place was a lawless jungle. Broken glass, rubbish, and mindless drawings turned the space into a “no-go” zone for most of the area’s residents. But one day, a small group of people living nearby decided that was enough. Seeking a resolution, they planned a project to turn the area into a community space, a space of healing, hope, and growth, not destruction and despair.
Moving in, the group realized that those who were using the space inappropriately early on must have a say in how the place would be used. Then the group arranged a meeting, but no one came. Thinking outside the box, they started with one simple idea, building a white wall where anyone could leave their thoughts about the future of the site. At the top was one question: What should we do with this space for our community?
Not all of the suggestions were useful. But slowly, the group itself and others using the site began to see some progress. Those who would not usually have a voice in such discussions began to weigh in. They wrote things like “a place to grow some food”, “a place to meet up”, “a creative space” and so on. A breakthrough was made. One surprising addition to the wall was an amazing artwork of a couple sitting on a bench eating a picnic. Someone else said, “Clean up first.”
The group began to clear the site, reusing materials that could be saved and removing the rest. One day, a couple of young men showed up and just started helping. They did not say much. Some other people passing by also took an interest and joined in. There were concerns that this would not last long, but over the weeks it remained. And, remarkably, over the next week or two, it was added to and improved. Someone added a small side table. Colorful artwork was created.
The group added four small raised beds, planting crops in one of them. They left a box of seeds in the shelter and waited to see what would happen. The seeds disappeared and the group made plans to continue with their own planting. Gradually, as plants began to grow, there was far more interaction between the group and those who used the site after dark. People who had never gardened before slowly got involved. The site became used far more during the day, not just after dark.
【1】What was the purpose of the project?
A．Built a “no-go” zoo in the area.
B．Get the people involved in art creation work.
C．Help the poor people in the area to have clean houses.
D．Change the rubbish land into pleasant community place.
【2】What was the challenge of the project at first?
A．People were not interested in the idea.
B．They had to built a wall around the area.
C．People had different ideas about the project.
D．People kept using the area in an inappropriate way.
【3】What can we infer from the text?
A．Not all the people were for it.
B．The project was of great success.
C．The area was a good place for planting.
D．These kind of things were common in the area.
24、 The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928). After immigrating form England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the Garden City”, almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later building plan of towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs.
The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life. Howard’s idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howard’s idea was that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside; far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.
Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries. They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, also owned by the company, containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit-Howard suggested 32,000 people; then, another would be started a short distance away. Thus, over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide rang of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.
【1】How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?
A．Through his observation of the country life.
B．Through the combination of different ideas.
C．By taking other people’s advice.
D．By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago.
【2】The underlined phrase “drawing on ”in Paragraph 1 probably means________.

C．giving an explanation of
D．giving a description of
【3】According to Howard, garden cities should be built________.
A．as far as possible from existing cities
B．in the countryside where the land was cheap
C．in the countryside where agriculture was developed
D．near cities where employment opportunities already existed
【4】What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?
A．Their number would continue to rise
B．Each one would continue to become larger
C．People would live and work in the same place
D．Each one would contain a certain type of business
【5】What could be the best title for the passage?
A．City and Countryside
B．The Invention of the Garden City
C．A New City in Chicago
D．A Famous Garden City in England

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2篇完整的短文。
Maggie and Alex live in a tall building in a neighborhood in the center of the city. There are no trees near their building, but they are happy in their home and it is close to their jobs.
In the part of the city where they live, there is not much fresh food to buy. The stores only have processed foods in packages. Maggie and Alex and all the other people in the building have to eat food that they buy in boxes and plastic containers.
This makes so much garbage that no one knows where to put it. While they wait for Fridays, when the city collects the garbage, all the neighbors put their trash into bags and sometimes leave it in the hallway or on the big, sunny roof. The whole building looks terrible. No one can spend time playing on the roof because it is full of trash.
One day, Maggie and Alex decide to make a change. They go up to the roof and separate all the recycla-ble garbage, like cardboard, plastic bottles, glass, and aluminum cans. Then they take all of the garbage down to the street for the garbage collectors.
But they do not carry down the plastic bottles! They cut off the tops and use them as pots to plant tomatoes and carrots. They plant herbs, too.
