21、The latest IPCC report does not mince words(直言不讳地) about the state of our planet: we must act now to achieve global change at a scale that has “no documented historical precedent(先例)” in order to avoid the climate disaster that would result from a 2 degree C rise in average global temperature. Climate change already affects the world's most helpless people including poor rural communities that depend on the land for their livings and coastal communities. Indeed, we have already seen the clear asymmetry(不对称) of suffering resulting from extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, wildfires and more.
So far, advocates and politicians have tended to focus on reducing fossil fuel(矿物燃料) consumption through technology and/or policy, such as a sharp carbon tax, as climate solutions. These proposals are, of course, essential to reducing manmade carbon emissions(排放)-71 percent of which are produced by just 100 fossil fuel companies.
Yet the international focus on fossil fuels has overshadowed(使......显得不重要) the most powerful and cost-efficient carbon-capture technology the world has yet seen: forests. Recent scientific research confirms that forests and other “natural climate solutions” are absolutely essential in reducing climate change. In fact, natural climate solutions can help us achieve 37 percent of our climate target, even though they currently receive only 2.5 percent of public climate financing.
Forests' power to store carbon dioxide through the simple process of tree growth is staggering:_one tree can even store an average of about 48 pounds of carbon dioxide in one year. Recent research show undamaged forests are capable of storing the same amount of the carbon dioxide emissions of entire countries such as Peru and Colombia.
For this reason, policy makers and business leaders must create and strengthen ambitious policies to prevent deforestation, and support the sustainable management of standing forests in the fight against climate change. Protecting the world's forests ensures they can continue to provide essential functions aside from climate stability, including producing oxygen, filtering water and supporting biodiversity. Not only do all the world's people depend on forests to provide clean air, clean water，oxygen, and medicines, but 1.6 billion people rely on them directly for their livelihoods.
【1】According to the passage, climate change ________.
A. will surely achieve at a scale that is more serious than ever before
B. will only affect people living in the poorest rural regions
C. is likely to lead to more frequent extreme weather events
D. is entirely determined by fossil fuel consumption
【2】What's the finding of the new research?
A. Reducing fossil fuels is the most powerful and cost-efficient technology.
B. Forests are vital to reducing climate change due to their storage power.
C. Most of our climate targets can be accomplished with the help of natural climate solutions.
D. Natural climate solutions have proved less efficient than conventional solutions.
【3】The underlined word “staggering” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A. astonishing B. speeding C. embarrassing D. shrinking
【4】What's the author's purpose of writing this article?
A. To compare two different approaches to dealing with climate change.
B. To argue against the view that focus on fossil fuels reduction counts.
C. To urge scientists to do more research into natural climate solutions.
D. To point out forests are the most powerful weapon for fighting climate change.
22、As health care costs continue to rise, a growing number of companies are working out programs designed to keep their employees healthy.
Thomas Chapple is the senior vice president. “It’s really important to us because medical costs are going up like crazy, he says. This company spends more than 200 million a year on medical costs for its employees around the country. The best thing we have seen as a way to control the medical cost is individual fitness.”
We have a fitness center, “Shawn Flaherty, director of public relations for Freddie Mac.,” says, “We have a health benefits plan that encourages people to work out three times a week, get cholesterol (胆固醇) checks, as well as ‘not to smoke.’ If they do that, it will cost them less for the health benefits.”
Rachelle Clark works for Freddie Mac. “I feel great. You know the benefit is rewarding. I like to look good and feel healthy. I am just fortunate that I work for the company that provides some type of facility for the employees.”
While on-site fitness centers are popular, some companies pay membership fees at local gyms for employees. The companies also offer classes such as boxing, yoga and dancing. Employees see those health programs as a valuable benefit.
Tom Brook exercises five days a week. As a newspaper reporter he has a tight schedule, although Tom says it’s not that difficult for him to make time for a workout. “It is great. It is right here where we work,” says Tom, “So everybody gets a chance to use it whenever they want to. I have lost weight and never been in better shape.”
The programs may not be a magic cure for rising health costs, but they seem to have a positive impact on both employers and employees.
【1】What’s the best way to cut the medical cost according to Shawn Flaherty?
A. To reduce the number of employees around the country.
B. To encourage the employees to work out to keep fit.
C. To set up fitness centers of their own.
D. To pay membership fees at local gyms for the employees.
【2】Why does the writer cite (引用) what Rachelle Clark and Tom Brook say?
A. To explain how to use the fitness centers.

23、It had been a “long” and hard walk from home to the subway station for teenager Mandy Chan when she first put on hanfu in public. Chan is one of the founders of hanfu in Hong Kong. “It was a set with a cream-colored shirt, a brown jacket in China’s Ming dynasty style and a red pleated skirt made by me,” she recalled recently, almost 10 years later.
It was not the looks from others but her limited knowledge on the traditional Chinese clothing that had made her uncomfortable. Chan added, “If anyone had asked what I was wearing, or the history behind it, I would have been afraid I couldn’t tell them the whole picture.”
However, her uneasiness had gradually gone with more in-depth research on traditional Chinese culture. Hanfu was the traditional clothing of China’s Han ethnic group that was formed in the main residential areas of the Han people in ancient China. The historical clothing has untold stories and ideas in every detail. The cutting and stitching line in the middle part of hanfu fits the spine (脊椎) of the human body and helps people to dress properly. This design, which has transcended (超越) itself as mere decoration, points to the qualities of the wearers as upright and moderate (温和的) individuals.,
“Instead of imitating people like what I used to do, I have jumped out of my comfort zone and found the style that suits me best,” Chan said. “Through hanfu, I have found myself and so many unexplored things in my life.” Chan added that she had found her lifelong passion through hanfu, which is a goal and dream that has never been absent from her life. Chan found she was not alone after falling in love with hanfu. She believes that classics will never go out of style and she herself has incorporated (使并入) hanfu into her everyday life.
【1】Why did Chan feel uneasy when she first wore hanfu in public?
A．Her clothes were worn out.
B．She didn’t like looks from others.
C．Her clothes didn’t fit her properly.
D．She had a limited knowledge of hanfu.
【2】What is special about hanfu in design according to paragraph 3?
A．It never goes out of fashion.
B．It shows personal qualities of its wearers.
C．It has many different styles for choice.
D．It appeals to people of all ages and social groups.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Hanfu has a strong influence on Chan.
B．Hanfu will be a big business in China.
C．Hanfu will take the lead in the fashion.
D．Hanfu allows her to get to know more people.
【4】In which part of a magazine may we read this text?

24、 Asthma (哮喘) attacks happen when people are allergic to something in the air. When attacks happen, the airways in their lungs tighten and make it hard to breathe. More troublesome, people do not know when an attack will happen. But now, smartphones can help stop attacks.
Propeller Health is a company in Wisconsin. It wants to help those with breathing problems by using technology along with medicine. The company fitted an inhaler (吸入器) with a Bluetooth sensor, which connects to a smartphone app. The inhaler is full of medicine that, when breathed in, stops an asthma attack. When the patient uses the inhaler, the smartphone records when and where the person has an attack. The app then stores the records for doctors. The app not only tells doctors about the attack but also helps them figure out if something is happening around the patient that makes the asthma worse. Chris Hogg, a manager at Propeller Health, says collecting information from the inhaler is important. Technology like Bluetooth sensors is the future of health care. They will help doctors to decide what to pay attention to when treating patients.
Smart inhalers are part of a new direction in medical technology known as “connected health”. Fewer than half of asthma patients take their medicine correctly, said Line Neuhauser, a professor studying asthma treatments. She said the Propeller Bluetooth sensor tells people if they have taken their medicine correctly, which helps to prevent attacks and hospitalization.
Another benefit of the sensor is that the company can collect information from many people. Then, they can see if certain areas set of more asthma attacks than others. “When we have a lot of users in the same region, we can do a lot to help them,” Hogg said.
One of Propeller's biggest tests of their system was in Louisville, Kentuck. They gave 140 people the Bluetooth sensors with inhalers. The study found that being close to railroads or factories was the main cause of asthma. They also found that public areas, such as schools and churches, also were causing asthma attacks. After the test, Propeller gave the information to the city, and the city is making rules to clean up the air.
【1】What is the serious problem facing people with asthma?
A.They have to stay at home. B.They may be attacked at any time.
C.They find it hard to breathe usually. D.They don't know what they are allergic to.
【2】What do we know about the Bluetooth sensor from Paragraph 2?
A.It gives patients timely treatment.
B.It tells patients how to keep away from poor environments.
C.It helps patients call their doctors when they are attacked.
D.It helps offer useful information about patients to doctors.
【3】Propeller's test is mentioned in the last paragraph to_________________.
A.show how the Bluetooth sensors can help
B.show the popularity of the Bluetooth sensors
C.advise cities to take action to handle pollution
D.advise people with asthma to keep away from public areas
【4】What's the best title of the text?
A.Technology helps people with asthma. B.How to use Bluetooth sensors.
C.Asthma has become a big danger. D.How to deal with asthma.
