22、William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered "little of childhood but its pain". In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family — both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.
Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.
He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's Death in 1939, W. H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines:
Earth, receive an honoured guest:
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel (船) lie
Emptied of its poetry.
【1】Which of the following can describe Yeats's family?
A.It filled Yeats's childhood with laughter.
B.It was shocked by Yeats's choice.
C.It was a typically wealthy family.
D.It had an artistic atmosphere.
【2】According to the passage, what do we know about Yeats's life?
A.Yeats founded the first Irish theater.
B.Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.
C.Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.
D.Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.
【3】What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden's lines?
A.Envy B.Sympathy C.Emptiness D.Admiration
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Yeats's literary achievements B.Yeats's historical influence
C.Yeats's artistic ambition D.Yeats's national honor
23、Population and climate
The human population on Earth has grown to the point that it is having an effect on Earth’s atmosphere and ecosystems. Burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, urbanization, and cultivation of rice and cattle are increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and dust in the atmosphere. About 70 percent of the Sun’s energy passes through the atmosphere and strikes Earth’s surface. This radiation heats the surface of the land and ocean, and these surfaces then reradiate infrared radiation back into space. This allows Earth to avoid heating up too much. However, not all of the infrared radiation makes it into space; some is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere and is reradiated back to Earth’s surface. A greenhouse gas is one that absorbs infrared radiation and then reradiates some of this radiation back to Earth. Carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides are greenhouse gases. In fact, without greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, scientists calculate that Earth would be about 33℃ cooler than it currently is.
The current concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is about 360 parts per million. Human activities are having a major influence on atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, which are rising so fast that current predictions made by scientists are that atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide will double in the next 50 to 100 years.
Some scientists predict that a doubling of carbon dioxide concentration will raise global temperatures anywhere between 1.4℃ and 4.5℃. The increase in temperature will not be uniform, with the smallest changes at the equator and changes two or three times as great at the poles. The local effects of these global changes are difficult to predict, but it is generally agreed that they may include alterations in ocean currents, increased winter flooding in some areas of the Northern Hemisphere, a higher incidence of summer drought in some areas, and rising sea levels, which may flood low-lying countries.
【1】It can be inferred from the passage that one positive aspect of greenhouse gases is that they _______.
A.remove pollutants from Earth’s atmosphere and ecosystems
B.absorb 70 percent of the Sun’s energy
C.help keep Earth warm
D.double atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide
【2】Which of the sentences below BEST summarizes the highlighted sentence?
A.The rapid rise of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations is mostly caused by human activities.
B.Human activities will no longer have an influence on atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations in the next 50 to 100 years.
C.Some scientists predict that atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations will not increase in the next 50 to 100 years.
D.Some scientists recently predict that atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations that are largely influenced by human activities will double in the next 50 to 100 years.
【3】The word “uniform” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A.different
B.identical
C.comparable
D.changeable
【4】What are the local effects of global changes?
A.Sea levels will fall.
B.The effects will not occur in some regions of the world.
C.The local plants and forests will be permanently damaged.
D.It is hard to know exactly what form the local effects will take.
【5】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Raising livestock and growing rice are the actions of humans.
B.The surface of the land and ocean can help decrease the temperature of Earth.
C.Although carbon dioxide concentration may double in the future, temperatures at the North Pole and South Pole may not change.
D.Nitrogen oxides absorb infrared radiation that can increase the temperature of Earth.
24、Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name —phubbers(低头族).
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.
Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying, “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Beijing Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
【1】For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para. 2?
A. To advertise the cartoon made by students.
B. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
【2】Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?
A. His social skills could be affected.
B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C. He might get separated from his friends and family.
D. He will cause the destruction of the world.
【3】Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?
A. Supportive. B. Optimistic. C. Opposed. D. Objective.
【4】What may the passage talk about next?
A. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
B. People addicted to phubbing.
C. Definition of phubbing
D. Consequences of phubbing.
