21、Over the last two days in December last year, nearly 30 tornadoes caused great damage across six states——from Arkansas in the south to Illinois in the Midwest. More than 100 tornado warnings were issued——the most ever for a day. The tornado in Kentucky caused at least 50 people’s deaths, which was described as the worst in this state’s history.
As one of the largest countries in the world, the United States is also one of the most geographically various countries-from deserts to forests to miles of coast line. While this comes with many advantages, it unfortunately leaves the country easily damaged by all kinds of natural disasters.
Different parts of the United States face different types of natural disasters. The west coast is at risk of wildfires, earthquakes, and even volcanic eruptions. The southern part of the country is frequently hit by tornadoes, and the east coast faces the threat of serious hurricanes every year. Midwestern areas near rivers are often flooded by huge floods, and these are the worst floods in American history.
The governments reviewed the weather event in each state’s history that caused the highest number of deaths to determine the worst natural disaster in every state. Thanks to their location and geographic research, some states could prepare ahead of time to avoid mass-casualty(重大伤亡的)weather events.
However, many other parts of the country have been less fortunate, experiencing massive storms and floods. Many such events, like the 1900 hurricane that hit Galveston of Texas, killed so many people that it was impossible to get an exact number of final deaths, especially during that time.
American weather continues to become more changeable. In 2018, there were 14 weather events that caused over $1 billion in damage. And in many parts of the country, these weather events could become even more destructive(毁灭性的)because of global warming.
【1】What do we know from the figures in paragraph 1?
A．Less and less natural disasters hit America.
B．Tornadoes were the least threat to Americans.
C．The tornado in Kentucky was the worst in the world.
D．America suffered from serious natural disasters.
【2】What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．The worst floods in American history.
B．The earthquakes in the west coast of US.
C．The natural disasters in different parts of US.
D．The hurricanes along the east coast of US.
【3】Which of the following can best describe America’s weather in the future?
A．Controllable.
B．Worrying.
C．Unchangeable.
D．Pleasant.
【4】What may be the best title for the text?
A．Common Natural Disasters in the US
B．A Weather Report from the US
C．Tornadoes Causing Great Damage
D．A Serious Tornado in Kentucky
22、It's believed that after a poor night's sleep, a strong coffee is the kick-start that many people need in the morning, but a new research suggests that it might be best to have a bite to eat first.
A study has found that drinking coffee first can have a negative effect on blood sugar control a risk factor for diabetes（糖尿病）and heart disease.
“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and, before doing anything else, drink coffee—subjectively the more tired we feel, the stronger the coffee,” said Professor James Betts, at the University of Bath in the UK.
For their study, researchers at the University of Bath got 29 healthy men and women to take part in three different overnight experiments, with at least a week between them.
In one, the participants had a normal night's sleep, roughly from 11 p. m. to 7 a. m. , and were asked to consume a sugary drink on waking in the morning. They then experienced an interrupted night's sleep, where the researchers woke them every hour for five minutes by sending them text messages to which they had to respond—and upon waking were given the same sugary drink.
On another night, participants experienced the same sleep interruption, but this time, were first given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before consuming the sugary drink.
They found that one night of interrupted sleep did not worsen the participants' blood sugar and insulin（胰岛素）responses when compared to the normal night's sleep—although previous research suggested that losing many hours of sleep or many nights of poor sleep could have a negative effect. However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast actually increased the blood sugar response by around 50%—suggesting that relying on coffee after a bad night to stop feeling sleepy could limit your body's ability to tolerate the sugar in your breakfast.
【1】What does the underlined word "kick-start" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A．A kind of drink.
B．A kind of habit.
C．A kind of power.
D．A kind of medicine.
【2】Which of the following is right according to the text?
A．If we feel tired， we should choose stronger coffee
B．Drinking coffee first may cause some serious diseases.
C．It shows that having breakfast first can refresh sleepy people
D．Half of people are hard to kick the habit of drinking strong coffee.
【3】What increased the participants' blood sugar response most before breakfast?
A．A cup of strong black coffee.
B．A normal night's sleep.
C．An interrupted night's sleep.
D．A normal sugary drink.
【4】How did researchers draw the conclusion?
A．By listing some examples.
B．By observing the process.
C．By explaining a phenomenon.
D．By comparing the results.
23、Is “plogging” the most 2018 fitness trend yet? They brought us hygge, lagom and fika, but now a new Scandinavian trend is coming, and it couldn’t be more 2018.
Hailing from Sw eden, “plogging ” is a fitness craze that sees participants pick up plastic litter w hile jogging—adding a virtuous, environmentally driven element to the sport.
Plogg ing appears to have started around 2016, but is now going global, due to increasing aw areness and fear over plastic levels in the ocean.

The Plastic Patrol app allow s users to map plastic anyw here in the w orld by collecting disc arded items, photographing them and up load ing to the app, giv ing us a better know ledge of w hat sorts of plastic and w hich brands are being throw n out. “I’d urge all ploggers to get involved,” adds Carr. As w e can see, plogging has become a new fashion in 2018. How ever, plogging isn’t the first fitness trend to combine running w ith a good cause.

24、Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today — and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time, his constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”
“Oh, sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”
“Nobody. I do it.”
“Really-at night, when you’re asleep?”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”
【1】The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________.
A．know more about the students
B．make the lessons more exciting
C．raise the students’ interest in art
D．teach the students about toy design
【2】What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A．He liked to help his teacher.
B．He preferred to study alone.
C．He was active in class.
D．He was imaginative.
【3】What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Mistake.
B．Drawback.
C．Difficulty.
D．Burden.
【4】Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?
A．To help them to see their creativity.
B．To find out about their sleeping habits.
C．To help them to improve their memory.
D．To find out about their ways of thinking.
