22、Super Typhoon Mangkhut to Hit Philippines, Southeast Asia
As the United States prepares for Hurricane Florence, an even bigger ocean storm, Super Typhoon Mangkhut, is set to hit Southeast Asia. The storm also threatens the Philippines and Hong Kong.The super typhoon, known as Ompong in the Philippines, has winds of up to 250 kilometers per hour. That is considered a category 5 hurricane in North America, the most severe level.
More than 4 million Filipinos live in areas the storm could affect. Emergency officials say nearly 48,000 houses in high-risk areas are made of light materials and could be damaged by the powerful winds.
Experts say Super Typhoon Mangkhut could cause landslides and flooding across the northern Philippine island of Luzon.
The super typhoon is expected to reach the Philippines Saturday at the start of the harvest season in Luzon. The island is a major agricultural producer and farmers are trying to save their crops.
Forecaster Meno Mendoza shows the path of Super Typhoon Mangkhut, locally named “Typhoon Ompong,” as it approaches the Philippines at the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration in Manila, Sept, 12, 2018.
Mangkhut already has hit the U.S. — island territory of Guam. The Pacific Daily News reported the storm flooded streets, brought down trees and cut electrical service. About 80 percent of the island was without power but service restarted by Thursday morning.Mangkhut is the 15th storm to hit the Philippines and the most powerful to hit Asia this year. Last week, Typhoon Jebi (飞燕) struck Japan killing more than 10 people.

23、 Darrion Cockrell, who wasn’t much of a student, has been named Missouri’s Teacher of the Year—the state’s highest honor for educators, becoming the first male since 2015 to capture the state’s top award.
Cockrell—the child of “a drug-addicted mother” and a father who was killed when he was four years old—was in and out of the childcare centers and eventually became a gang (帮派) member. In his speech, he shouted out the special people who helped to guide him down the right path when he was going off track.
He thanked his teacher Ken who provided him with life advice while he lived in a boys group home. “He taught me it’s OK to be tough, but at the same time, it’s OK to be compassionate (富有同情心的),” Cockrell said. “He was like a father figure to me.”
The teacher—affectionately known as “DC”—also expressed his gratitude to the football coach that adopted him when he was in the 7th grade and helped to change his whole perspective (视角) on life. “When I changed the way I looked at things, the things around me started to change,” he said. “I had a lot of struggles and a lot of hurdles, and if not for those educators, I would not be here today.”
Now, Cockrell hopes to make an impact on the students at Lindbergh Schools’ Crestwood Elementary in St. Louis, where he’s been teaching physical education since 2015. Among his many accomplishments at the school is his development of the “Crest-Fit” training program for teachers, students and parents.
“Missouri is fortunate to have so many high-quality educators, and Darrion will be a wonderful representative as our state’s Teacher of the Year,” Commissioner of Education Margie Vandeven said in a statement. “He guides his students towards long-term physical and mental wellness, and the connections he has established will impact Crestwood children for years to come.”

B．He put Cockrell in the childcare center.
C．He took Cockrell into his own football class.
D．He changed Cockrell ‘s way of looking at things.
【3】What’s Cockrell’s major contribution to his school?
A．His original teaching objective.
B．His role as a model for other teachers.
C．His father figure role in students’ development.
D．His long-term influence on the students’ health.
【4】How did Margie Vandeven sound in the last paragraph?

24、At the foot of an Icelandic volcano, a newly-opened plant is taking CO₂ from the air and turning it to rock. This technology is known as “direct air capture(捕捉)” or DAC. It’s a bit like “mining” the sky for CO₂—simple in principle, but very difficult to carry out.
To do this, you need the right geography conditions. That is why Climeworks, a Swiss company, built the Orca plant in Iceland. There, fans draw air into big black containers where the filter(过滤器) catches CO₂. Once the filter is full, it is heated to around 100℃ to separate CO₂ with sufficient energy from volcanic activity. Next, the collected CO₂ is combined with water and pumped deep underground into rock formations. Within a few years, the CO₂ will turn into stone.
However, exciting and promising as this technology is, it won’t save us from climate change on its own. While Orca, the largest plant of its kind in the world, can capture up to 4,000 tons of CO₂ per year, the yearly global emissions(排放) are around 33.4 billion tons of CO₂, so the plant can deal with 0.00001% of our yearly emissions. Besides, the process is expensive and requires large amounts of energy.
Daniel Egger, the chief commercial officer at Climeworks, said that while his company is at an “industrial level”, it is not where it needs to be to make a difference in fighting climate change. But we have to learn to walk before we can run.
Carbon storage(碳储存) is just arising as a technology. It won’t help us fix climate change yet, but it can be important down the line, if we have the right conditions for it.
【1】What can we learn about DAC according to the text?
A．It is the best way to fix climate change at present.
B．It requires enough heat and energy to operate.
C．It is highly developed in removing CO₂.
D．It can be applied anywhere in the world.
【2】Why are some data used in paragraph 3?
A．To indicate the bright future of the technology.
B．To provide the research results for the readers.
C．To show the challenges DAC faces at present.
D．To call for more plants like Orca to be set up.
【3】What is the author’s attitude towards the technology?
A．Unclear.
B．Uninterested.
C．Doubtful.
D．Hopeful.
【4】From which is the text probably taken?
A．A science report.
B．A company leaflet.
C．A chemistry textbook.
D．A social web page.
25、A good dictionary is _______important tool(工具). It will tell you_______ only what a word means but_______how it _______. A dictionary needs to be printed again about every ten years. Languages develop(发展) and a good dictionary must _______these new changes.
