21、Greenhouse-gas emissions have produced the planet more than 1°C (1.8°F) warmer than it was in the pre-industrial days. Its atmosphere is producing heavy weather in ways both predicted and surprising. And, with emissions continuing, it will get worse.
Unfortunately, 2021 will probably be one of the 21st century’s coolest years. If temperatures rise by 3°C above pre-industrial levels in the coming decades — as they might even if everyone manages to honour today’s firm promises — large parts of the tropics risk becoming too hot for outdoor work. Coral reefs and the livelihood that depend on them will disappear and the Amazon rainforest will become a ghost of itself. Severe harvest failures will be commonplace. Ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland will shrink (缩小) past the point of no return, promising sea rises measured not in millimetres, as today’s are, but in metres.
Six years ago, in Paris, the countries of the world committed themselves to avoiding the worst of that nightmare by removing greenhouse-gas emissions quickly enough to hold the temperature rise below 2°C. Their progress towards that end remains seriously inadequate. Yet even if their efforts increased dramatically enough to meet the 2°C goal, it would not stop forests from burning today; prairies (草原) would still dry out tomorrow, rivers break their banks and mountain glaciers disappear.
Cutting emissions is thus not enough. The world also urgently needs to invest in adapting to the changing climate. The good news is that adaptation makes political sense. People can clearly see the need for it. When a country invests in flood defenses, it benefits its own citizens above all others — there is no free-rider problem, as there could be for emissions reduction. So All the governments should make a broader move to increase investment in adaptation. More such efforts are vital.
【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A.The weather will become better in the future.
B.The earth in the pre-industrial days was warmer.
C.Bad weather is often caused by greenhouse gases.
D.The appearance of bad weather is always expected.
【2】What will happen if the temperature rises by 3°C above pre-industrial levels?
A.Crops will fail a little now and a little then.
B.The melting ice will cause a sharp rise in sea level.
C.People can still make a living by relying on coral reefs.
D.It will be too hot for people to work outdoors all over the world.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.None of the investment money comes from the nation.
B.The disasters would be avoided if the 2°C goal could be met.
C.When a country invests in flood defenses, its own citizens benefits most.
D.All the countries are trying to avoid the worst result by reducing the emission.
【4】What’s the main purpose of the passage?
A.To analyse the possibility of meeting the 2°C goal.
B.To introduce a new method to study greenhouse-gas emissions.
C.To assess the consequences of cutting greenhouse-gas emissions.
D.To call each country government to raise investment in adaptation.
22、 Personal Time Off(PTO)is something my wife and I created after having kids. We learned that,over time,a full life can leave little time for personal rest and for reflection,hanging out with friends,or just being“off. ”So,after a number of years,we make a change. If I can persuade you to take your own PTO,then these might help.
■Schedule it
First of all,one of our favorite family sayings is“schedule it. ”Sounds easy enough,but life gets complicated managing full-time work and full-time family. Put your PTO time on the calendar and you make it a real thing.
■Be flexible and strict
If you can schedule PTO at the same time each week,then all the better. Because our calendar can get rather full,flexibility in scheduling becomes a necessity. But being strict in actually taking the time each week is more important. Skipping it once makes it easier to skip again.
■Take enough time
My typical PTO lasts a couple of hours or longer. Sometimes it might be half the day depending on what I’m doing. The goal is to spend enough time away to 1et your shoulders drop.
■Do what you want to do
Remember,PTO time is about personal time to do what you want to do,not what you have to do. PTO time is about relaxation. Grab a friend and get a beer. Work can wait until tomorrow.
【1】What can be the first step to take the PTO?
A.Persuade the family.
B.Have a personal rest.
C.Ask friends for advice.
D.Make a time plan.
【2】What does the underlined part“let your shoulders drop”probably mean?
A.Get you more focused.
B.Have you feel relaxed.
C.Shake your shoulders often.
D.Make you feel more stressed.
【3】What does the text mainly talk about?
A.Tips on how to take your time off
B.Skills to manage work and family
C.Advice on how to free yourself
D.Ways of scheduling your work
23、Buildings, pollution, poor soil, insects, and even car crashes can add to tree loss. However, between 2016 and 2021, the city of Seattle in Washington state was reported to have lost about 255 hectares of tree covering, for which climate change was blamed. Then came the driest summer on Seattle’s record books in 2022. The drier conditions and hotter temperatures have left many trees with brown leaves, naked branches, and extreme seeding. These are all signs of tree stress.
According to Nicholas Johnson, a tree expert for Seattle City Parks, if this warming climate continues we are going to have a lot of trees die. Just like people, under the heat trees get weak.
Researchers from France and Australia studied the effect of hotter temperatures and less rain on more than 3,100 trees and plants in 164 cities across 78 countries. They found about half the trees in the cities were experiencing climate conditions beyond their limits. They also found that by 2050 nearly all trees planted in Australian cities will not survive.
It’s not the gradual change but these extreme swings of too much water, too little water, too much wind, and terrible storms that are going to cause these rapid changes. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed about 10 percent of the trees in New Orleans, Louisiana. And in 2021, Hurricane Ida uprooted many new tree plantings.
To settle the problem of tree loss, non-native trees, have been brought to cities for some time. In the city of Bellevue, Washington, experts are growing different kinds of trees specifically for climate change. On city grounds, they are planting baby giant sequoias, just a few centimeters tall. The giant sequoias are not native to the Pacific Northwest area. But the trees can deal with the lack of rain and insects. Once these trees are established, they grow incredibly fast. Having many different kinds and ages of trees is important to keeping urban forests alive.
“Life always finds a way,” said Nicholas Johnson. “And in Seattle, people are helping life find a way.”
【1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.Natural reasons for tree loss.
B.The terrible climate in Seattle in recent years.
C.The bad condition of trees in Seattle.
D.The signs of tree stress.
【2】What is endangering the trees in Australia cities?
A.Buildings.
B.Pollution.
C.Car crashes.
D.Extreme climate.
【3】How do tree experts solve the problem of tree death?
A.By improving planting methods.
B.By changing the kinds of trees.
C.By treating trees as babies.
D.By improving the soil quality.
【4】Which is Nicholas Johnson’s attitude to the future of trees in cities?
A.Positive.
B.Negative.
C.Doubtful.
D.Uninterested.
24、Americans spend a lot of time and money on health care. Many believe health care is a right for all people. The big debate is over “ will the care be private or public ” . The difference will be in who pays for it. Will it come from the pockets of those needing care, or will it come from the pockets of all taxpayers? The honest answer is that payments will come out of the pockets of both.
You only need health care when you are ill. So, the next question is, what can we do about sickness? If there is less illness, the cost of health care will go down. The answer to that question is simple. We need to take better care of ourselves.
Many experts say the fault lies in what we eat. Obesity, diabetes, and heart health are the biggest causes of illness. The biggest factor in those illnesses is the food we eat.
“ Food Is Medicine ” is a new program. Health providers can include nutrition in the patient’s health records. Educators and trainers can talk about nutrition. Patients may be able to get prescriptions for healthy foods and produce.
Governments are starting to tax sugary drinks. They can sponsor markets that sell pro-tective foods. These are foods such as fruits, nuts, vegetables, beans, plant oils, whole grains, yogurt, and fish. Government programs can lower levels of sodium, added sugar, and trans-fats.
Schools are improving and expanding the quality of school meals. The National Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program should get bigger. School garden programs are another way for-ward. The Food Stamp program offers a great chance to improve diet quality and health.
It all adds up to making food health a national goal. In an ideal world, the public and private sectors would start to do this together. It is an area where science and business have to be partners. The subject of health should be at the front of health care.
【1】What is Americans’ major concern over health care?
A.When they should take it out.
B.Whether it is personal or public.
C.When they should pay for it.
D.Whether it is different from family care.
【2】According to the text, what can we do about sickness?
A.Care for ourselves better.
B.Save more money to cure it.
C.Pay attention to what others say.
D.Depend on the public to cure it.
【3】What does the author advise governments to do?
A.Invest more in medical care.
B.Expand the quantity of meals.
C.Lower levels of tax on sugary drinks.
D.Fund markets to sell protective foods.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.The Food We Eat Results In Illness
B.People Are Taking Action On Health Care
C.The Best Health Insurance Is Health Itself
D.Educators Stress The Importance Of Nutrition

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was a 20-year-old nursing student in 1968, assigned as Chris’s post-operative nurse.
Chris was an eight-year-old boy filled with energy, who excelled in every sport he played. Disobeying his parents’ words, he explored a neighbor’s construction site, climbed a ladder, and fell, which got him a broken arm that later had to be cut off.
The first few days passed quickly. I provided Chris’s physical care with forced cheerfulness. As his need for medication decreased, his level of awareness increased, as did his moodiness. When I offered him the towel for a sponge bath and suggested he take over, he washed his face and neck with great difficulty, then quit. And I finished.
The next day, I insisted on his doing whole bath by himself. He was more than halfway through when he sat down and said, “I can’t make it!”
“You won’t be in the hospital much longer,” I said gently. “You need to learn to take care of yourself.”
“Well, I can’t,” he frowned. “How can I do anything with just one hand?”
Putting on my brightest face, I searched for a silver lining in my mind. Finally I said, “Sure you can do it, Chris. At least you have your right hand.”
He turned his face away and muttered, “I’m left-handed. At least I used to be.” Suddenly, I felt ashamed. How could I have taken right-handedness for granted? It seemed he and I both had a lot to learn.
The next morning, I greeted Chris with a big smile and a rubber band. He looked at me suspiciously. I put my right hand behind my back and kept it there by winding the rubber band around my uniform buttons. “You’re left-handed and I’m right-handed,” I said, “Every time I ask you to do something with your right hand, I will do it first, with my left hand. And I promise not to practice before I see you.”
