22、Nearly 40 years ago, Peter Harrison, a marine ecologist witnessed the first recorded large-scale coral bleaching(珊瑚白化)event. Diving in the Great Barrier Reef(大堡礁), he was shocked by the scene before him. "The reef was made up of healthy corals and badly bleached white corals, like the beginnings of a ghost city," he says. Just months before, the same site was filled with colorful tropical life.
"Many of the hundreds of corals that I'd carefully tagged and monitored finally died," he says. "It was shocking and made me aware of just how weak these corals really are.”
Coral exists together with photosynthetic algae(藻类), which live in its tissues and provide essential nutrition(and coloration). But high temperatures and other stresses can turn algae poisonous. When this occurs, the algae may die or be removed by the coral, a process known as bleaching because the coral's clear tissue and white calcium carbonate skeleton(碳酸钙骨骼)are exposed. If the coral can't reestablish its link with algae, it will starve or become ill.
The widespread destruction Harrison saw in 1982 was repeated on many other Pacific Ocean reefs that year and the next. In 1997 and 1998 the phenomenon went global, killing some 16 percent of the world's corals. With rising temperatures, pollution, disease, increased ocean acidity, invasive species, and other dangers, Harrison's ghost cities are expanding
Scientists suppose that about four decades ago severe bleaching occurred roughly every 25 years, giving corals time to recover. But bleaching events are coming faster now—about every six years—and in some places soon they could begin to happen annually.
"The absolute key is dealing with global warming," says marine biologist Terry Hughes. "No matter how much we clean up the water, the reefs will die." In 2016, a record-hot year in a string of them, 91 percent of the reefs that consist of the Great Barrier Reef bleached.

C.the elements that make algae die
D.the process of building a link with algae
【3】The phrase "Harrison's ghost cities" in paragraph 4 most probably refers to___________.

A.With algae living in its tissues, coral's white skeleton is exposed.
B.Solving global warming is the real solution to coral bleaching.

D.The severest coral bleaching occurred about four decades ago.
23、It is not only plants that grow in a garden. 【1】 It is more than just a practical exercise. It is something that makes you a better person.
You can be more resilient (有适应力的). Resilience is about how we react to changing circumstances with mental strength. In a garden, you will likely enjoy many successes, but you will experience many failures, too. This will help you build your patience, learn to handle disappointments and gain confidence. 【2】
You can build more skills. Becoming resilient involves being able to take a greater level of control over your own basic needs. 【3】 You can build skills not only in gardening, but also in other skills like DIY, crafting, repair, cooking, and food preservation as you create and tend your garden and process the produce you grow.
【4】 Gardening can allow you to reduce daily concerns as you can harvest a lot from your space. This leaves more time and space for other considerations. You learn to look beyond your own basic needs and recognize the needs of others—human and non-human—in the world around you.
You can become more compassionate (有同情心的). If you have a garden, you are in a fortunate position. 【5】 Recognizing the gifts that nature gives you can help to increase your compassion, to recognize that others are less fortunate, and to reach out to others in a wide range of ways.

F.As a gardener, you can build vital skills for higher levels of self-reliance.

24、Teenagers who spend more time on after-school activities and less than two hours of screen time after school are more mentally (心理上) healthy, according to a study published in the journal Preventive Medicine. The new study was carried out by researchers from the University of British Columbia.
The study used information collected from more than 28, 000 seventh-grade Canadian students between 2014 and 2018. The students first answered questions about their usage of screen time after school, including how much time they spent watching TV, Netflix or something else. Then, students reported how many days they had taken part in after-school activities such as sports or arts programmes. After that, researchers asked students to describe their state of mind. For example, when given a statement such as “I start most days thinking that I will have a good day”, they could choose to what level they agreed with it on a scale (等级).
Some of the results were expected, researchers said in the study. Students with no after-school activities usually had high levels of screen time, for example. And they expected girls would score higher on negative indicators (消极指标) of mental health, as earlier research had found that they tended to have higher levels of anxiety (焦虑) compared to boys.
What was noteworthy, researchers say, is that even among students who took part in after-school activities, 46% still went beyond the recommended screen time of two hours. At the same time, 67% of students who didn’t take part in after-school activities also had more than two hours of screen time. Together, this suggests high screen time among teenagers generally.
“The findings suggest that after-school activities are valuable for the happy growing of teenagers,” the study said. “While past studies have proved the importance of after-school activities for social and academic (学业的) development, the present study shows their importance for good mental health results.”
【1】Which of the following came last when students took part in the new study?
A.Talking about their lifestyles.
B.Introducing their after-school activities.
C.Reporting their mental states on a scale.
D.Answering questions about screen time use.
【2】What do the researchers find about teenage girls?
A.They often have higher levels of satisfaction.
B.Few of them take part in after-school activities.
C.Anxiety has become a serious problem among them.
D.Too much screen time may be more harmful to them.
【3】What does the author want to show by using the numbers in paragraph 4?
A.Earlier findings about screen time are wrong.
B.High screen time is common among teenagers.
C.No after-school activities mean no screen time.
D.Screens attract teenagers more than after-school activities do.
【4】Why are after-school activities so important according to the new study?
A.They are good for teenagers’ physical health.
B.They help to improve teenagers’ mental health.
C.They encourage teenagers’ social development.
D.They allow teenagers to become better learners.
