21、Wildfires have captured headlines around the globe in recent years. These intense and widespread fires worry scientists. Besides causing billions of dollars in property damage, wildfires can erase the habitat of valued wildlife. They also fill the air with choking pollution. And when they burn near cities, they put the lives of whole communities in danger.
But scientists are interested in these fires for another reason. The black carbon-rich smoke from their flames is made of the ash from burned trees, grass and shrubs. The intense heat of some wildfires can cast this ash to high altitudes and it can travel around the globe.And the warming sunlight absorbed by dark particles(微粒)at high altitudes won't reach Earth's surface.
Scientists refer to those tiny particles of ash,dust and more as aerosols(气溶胶). One important trait is how well they reflect light. Snow and white ice reflect the most light. Dark things absorb the sun's light, mostly as heat. So the color of aerosols is important. Those aerosols can either warm or cool the air. Overall, researches showed that smoke aerosols cool the atmosphere. As intense fires cause dark ash aerosols high into the air, they mix with clouds and mostly prevent the sun's energy entering the earth.
The warming climate that can lead to wildfires may experience a temporary cooling when serious wildfires do erupt. Meanwhile, fire aerosols also can have bad effects when they fall back to Earth. And that fallout can sometimes be up to half a world away from where a fire took place.
Many studies show that intense wildfires are becoming more common, partly because of global warming. As the planet warms and new fires occur, scientists will continue to explore the big impact of tiny fire aerosols that temporarily occupy our atmosphere.
【1】What does paragraph 1 focus on?
A.Wildfire-related air pollution.
B.Cities suffering from wildfires.
C.Harmful effects of wildfires.
D.Scientists' concern over wildlife.
【2】How do fire aerosols cool the earth?

【3】What is the author's attitude towards fire aerosols?
A.Uncaring
B.Cautious.

22、The fossil (化石)discovery in Victoria now shows that monk seals were widespread in Australasia in the past.
“Monk seals are one of the rarest and most endangered marine mammals (海洋哺乳动物)alive today, but this wasn’t always the case,” according to lead study author Dr. James Rule from Monash University. “Our paper shows that the very endangered monk seals once called Australia home about five million years ago(specifically in Victoria),” he said.
The discovery was made by studying two fossils again from Melbourne Museum’s collections, the identity of which had been a mystery for 40 years. “When we studied them, they turned out to be the oldest evidence of monk seals,” Dr. Rule said. “These fossils, along with the extinct New Zealand species that was discovered last year, double the known diversity of the monk seals,” he said.
According to Dr. Rule, monk seals disappeared in Australasia three million years ago, and they only lived in the tropics (热带地区)and the Mediterranean after temperatures fell during the Ice Ages. This left monk seals on the edge of disappearance after being overhunted by humans, with about 2,000 members left.
The discovery of New Zealand species and Australian monk seals led the researchers to restudy the origin of the group. “Our research shows that monk seals began in Australia,” Dr. Rule said. “This is different from every theory previously put forward by scientists.”
Previous research has theorized climate change led to the disappearance of many ancient seals in the Southern Hemisphere. This would have included New Zealand’s and Australian monk seals. “This suggests the world’s last two species of monk seal are also at risk from climate change,” Dr. Rule said. If sea level continues to rise, the beaches monk seals rely on for resting and raising young ones may disappear.
【1】What does the new discovery show about monk seals?
A.Their living habits.
B.Their growth process.
C.Their early appearance.
D.Their ways of getting food.
【2】What do we know about the two fossils from Melbourne Museum?

D.They were first discovered last year.
【3】What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 probably refer to?
A.Fighting water pollution.
B.Suffering from a lack of food.
C.Having limited living places.
D.Facing increasing natural enemies.
【4】What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A.Climate change always threatens monk seals’ survival.
B.Scientists can now measure the rate of global warming.
C.Human activity in Australia should be strictly limited.
D.People need to help raise young monk seals.
23、Best films to watch this March
The Batman
The world isn't exactly short of Batman films, but this one, directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), is grungy(邋遢的) and gritty(粗犷的)enough to distinguish it from the others. The Batman introduces a prosthetics-covered Colin Farrell as a gangland Penguin, Zoë Kravitz as a drug-dealing Catwoman, and Paul Dano as the Riddler, a sadistic psycho modelled on the Zodiac-Killer. Most importantly, Robert Pattinson is in the title role, playing a seriously screwed-up Dark Knight.
Turning Red
Turning Red is the first Pixar animation(皮克斯动画) to be directed solely by a woman, the first to be set in Canada, and the first to revolve around a heroine from an Asian family: the heroine in question is Mei Lee (Rosalie Chiang), who turns into a huge, shaggy red panda whenever she is stressed. Another thing that sets Turning Red apart from previous Pixar films is its visual style. The director, Domee Shi, was inspired by the Japanese cartoons she watched when she was Mei's age in the early 2000s.
Everything Everywhere All At Once
Multiverses feel like the flavour of the season. Written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, Everything Everywhere All At Once stars Michelle Yeoh as Evelyn, "an exhausted Chinese American woman who can't seem to finish her taxes," according to the promotional write-up. She then discovers that she has bigger problems. She can access the memories and skills of an infinite number of Evelyns from infinite different universes – and she must use that power to save all of those universes from the forces of evil.
【1】What can be the main reason for the popularity of The Batman?
A.It is directed by Matt Reeves.
B.It will be on in March.
C.It is a Batman film.
D.Robert Pattinson is the leading actor.
【2】What makes Turning Red different from previous Pixar films?
A.Its visual style.
B.Its creative story.
C.The director’s inspiration.
D.The spirit of Mei.
【3】From which part of the newspaper can you find this passage?
A.Weather forecast.

24、It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually did. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货),saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性)as a whole. And it has influenced(影响)us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
【1】Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A. The man’s job was bike racing.
B. It was their only possession.
C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.

【2】We can infer from the text that ____________.
A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.
B. people were busy before Christmas

D. life was hard for the young family.
【3】What do the couple learn from their experience?
A. Strangers are usually of little help.
B. One should take care of their bike.
C. News reports make people famous.
D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
【4】Which one do you think is NOT TRUE according to the text?
A. The couple will never steal bikes in revenge.
B. The couple will try their best to help others in trouble.
C. Trevor bought a new Kona immediately after someone stole his old one.
D. The couple got some help from several people in their area.
