21、In only a few months, a disease has completely changed the world. Thousands of people have died and millions of people have fallen ill. For the rest of us, our way of life has become totally different.
From New York to London, the busiest pubs and theaters have been left empty. International flights are being canceled. People are working from home. These are all aimed at controlling the spread of the COVID-19. However, all of these changes have also led to another unexpected benefit: a drop in carbon emissions(碳排放). Compared with this time last year, levels of pollution in New York have been reduced by nearly 50 percent.
So will the COVID-19 turn out to save the environment?
Kimberly Nicholas is an environmental scientist in Sweden. To answer that question, she says, you have to find out why emissions have dropped. Take transport as an example. It makes up 23 percent of global carbon emissions. These emissions have fallen as people are staying at home. Nicholas says they will remain lowered until the COVID-19 is totally brought under control. But what will happen after this outbreak(爆发)is over?
“It’s hard to say,” Nicholas says. While staying at home, many people have realized the importance of family. In the short term, some people will still avoid travel and spend time with their families instead. However, some people are feeling bored after not being out for a long time. They are eager to return to their old habits and may even travel more often. If that happens, transport-related emissions could come back.
But Nicholas says she and many other scientists have seen hope. The outbreak of the COVID-19 shows that at the national and international level, if we need to take action, we can. When we look out for each other, we all can make a big difference.
【1】From New York to London, people are working from home in order to ________.
A.save time
B.make less carbon emissions
C.save money
D.control the spread of the COVID-19
【2】According to Kimberly Nicholas, will the COVID-19 save the Earth in the end?
A.Yes, it will save the Earth in the end.
B.No, it won’t save the Earth in the end.
C.The COVID-19 will only cause more pollution in the end.
D.It’s hard to say whether it will save the Earth or not.
【3】According to Nicholas, some people will still avoid travel for some time after the COVID-19 outbreak is over because ________.
A.they want to continue to save the Earth
B.they have lost their interest in traveling
C.they have realized the importance of family
D.they don’t have enough money to travel abroad
【4】Why has Nicholas seen hope?
A.Because she has discovered a new method of saving the Earth.
B.Because she has seen that people can take action if they need to.
C.Because many people have changed their attitudes towards family.
D.Because more and more people have realized the seriousness of climate change.
【5】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.New York has shown a record drop in pollution after the COVID-19 broke out.
B.Nobody has been killed by the COVID-19.
C.Most people will travel more often after the COVID-19 outbreak is over.
D.The COVID-19 would make the Earth cleaner.

There is so much to see that it is impossible for me to tell you everything. Sydney is a beautiful city. There are many big trees and beautiful flowers around the houses and they look really beautiful. There are also some special animals in Australia, such as kangaroos and koalas. They are really lovely.
During the past three days, Marie, May and I have visited many places of interest around Sydney. I'd like to spend more time here. But we will fly to another city, Cairns, to see coral beds (珊瑚礁)tomorrow. It is said that words cannot describe the beauty of the colourful coral. Many famous cartoon films were made there. Now we are busy packing our bags so that we will not lose time when we leave. We can enjoy ourselves in Cairns this time. I'm looking forward to going there!
Best wishes!

24、 Has anyone ever told you that eating carrots will help you see in the dark? This is just one of many incorrect beliefs you may have heard. Below, TEENS has picked out scientific explanations for three mistakes that people make about their eyes. Let’s take a look.
Can eating carrots improve your eyesight?
Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which helps the eyes to turn light into information for your brain. This allows people to see in darker places. However, eating more carrots won’t help you see better. A certain minimum amount will help, but a large number of carrots will not give you superhuman eyesight.
If your parents have bad eyesight, will you have bad eyesight, too?
Myopia(近视)can be passed from parents to children. A study by the American Optometric Association found that if both parents are myopic, there’s a 33 to 60 percent chance that their child will be. For children who have one parent with myopia, the chance is 23 to 40 percent, and it’s down to 6 to 15 percent for kids with non-myopic parents. So if your eyesight is bad, your children might still have good vision.
Do color blind people see the world in black and white?
Color blindness doesn’t usually mean that people see the world like an old movie. They usually can’t tell certain colors apart, especially green and red. Another commonly confused pair of colors is yellow and blue. Our eyes have cone cells (视锥细胞) that sense different wavelengths (波长) of light. If these cells don’t work properly, color blindness occurs.
There are different levels of color blindness. Some people are only color blind in low light.
However, in the most serious form of color blindness, everything is shades of gray.
【1】According to the article, eating carrots_____.
A.stops the brain from seeing
B.doesn’t help you see better at all
C.will give you superhuman vision
D.is good for your eyes to some degree
【2】If both parents have myopia, their child’s chance of having good eyesight is_____.
A.40-67% B.33-60% C.23-40% D.6-15%
【3】What is the cause of color blindness, according to the text?
A.Watching movies for too long.
B.Getting too little exercise.
C.Cone cells not working properly.
D.Changes in the wavelength of light.
【4】What is the purpose of the article?
A.To offer some advice on protecting your eyes.
B.To clear up some misunderstandings about our eyes.
C.To provide help for improving your vision.
D.To explain how bad eyesight and color blindness form.
25、 I still remember visiting Moscow. It is the c【1】 of Russia, the biggest country in the world. I went there with my parents when I was eight years old. I lived and studied there for one year, and I had some happy【2】.(回忆)
One of the most i【3】 things of that city was that there were many dogs .Maybe Russians like dogs very much. You can see dogs here and there. Almost each of the families had a dog. I made friends with many Russian children .
When I was living and studying there, they were all very nice. They had fair hair and fair skin. I played with them happily. Although I could only speak a little Russian at first, they were f【4】 to me .The weather in Moscow was very cold. It snowed almost every day in winter .The ground was always covered with a lot of snow. We often made snowmen together.
