21、To pollute or not to pollute? That is the question. In order to survive, we all need to cause pollution. Factories that process the food we eat, clothes we wear, and cars we drive have to cause pollution. The environment has the ability to absorb our waste or the pollution, but its absorption ability has its limits. If the pollution level is higher than what the environment can cope with, then that's the time when pollution is bad.
If the pollution level becomes too high, human health can be affected badly. Then, the productivity level of the sick people is low and the economy suffers. The economy suffers not only because of the lost productivity of the people, but also because the government must pay for the damage the pollution has done to its people.
This is the reason why the government prefers taxation policy. Imposing（征收）a tax on firms that pollute the environment can be considered a good strategy, as long as the tax covers all the external costs or the cost of the damage the firm has created during production.
Taxation, if enforced（执行）really well, can make firms create a technology that may reduce pollution, if they find out that it will be cheaper than continuously paying the tax. The disadvantage of this policy, however, lies in the possibility that some big firms will find the tax cheap and then they will just produce more and pollute the environment more. If other small firms find the tax expensive, thus closing down, their production will be eaten up by those firms which can afford the tax.
Therefore, it is important that lawmakers in each country, when deciding to impose a tax on pollutant emissions, first review and analyze very carefully the real cost of the damage.
【1】 We can infer from the first paragraph that
A. for human beings pollution is unavoidable
B. it's not easy to figure out how bad pollution is
C. humans should reduce the use of everyday products
D. we can survive without causing pollution.
【2】The underlined word "absorb" here refers to”____”．
A. reduce B. fit in
C. avoid D. deal with
【3】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The effects of pollution on human health.
B. The relationship between people and their government.
C. The effects of pollution on economic development.
D. The relationship between human health and economic development.
【4】Which of the following can be the result of imposing a higher tax according to Paragraph 3 ？
A. Firms may reduce the prices of their products.
B. Firms may develop some environmental technology.
C.A big firm will be broken up into small firms.
D.A small firm will try to pass the tax on to consumers.
22、 As our global population continues to rise, some assessments suggest it could reach nearly 10 billion people by 2050. To feed that many people, we will need to produce quantities of food.
With only 30 seasons of planting and harvest left before the population could hit that 10 billion figure, it’s clear that agriculture has to change, if we are to have any hope of feeding the planet.
Over the past six months I’ve travelled all over Europe speaking to pioneering scientists and engineers, global-thought leaders, and of course, knowledgeable farmers, for the BBC World News and BBC Future series, Follow the Food in order to examine issues around food supply and even find some potential solutions for our future.
One of the most shocking facts I learned is the amount of good and eatable food that gets wasted. According to the United Nations, “A third of all food produced ends up rotting (腐烂) in the dustbins of consumers and markets, or damaging due to poor transportation and harvesting practices.”
Spending time with farmers, producers, and consumers, I quickly saw how our current ways of growing, processing and selling food just aren’t sustainable (可持续的).
The only way we can feed 10 billion people by 2050 is if the farming and food industries become much more sustainable. And that requires changes to the whole model of growing, processing, transporting, storing and selling. It means a lot of businesses and governments need to take action. But so too do we all. Whether that’s going to the market and choosing the most “ugly” vegetables for dinner, encouraging supermarkets to change their labelling to show us the carbon footprint of our food, or using new tech to avoid waste, there’s so much we can do to value our food and its producers.
【1】How does the writer feel about the production of enough food by 2050?
A.Optimistic. B.Impossible.
C.Challenging. D.Confident.
【2】What is the purpose of the writer’s journey in Europe?
A.To experience various careers in Europe.
B.To have a knowledge of farmers.
C.To become the best host in BBC programs.
D.To make further studies of present situation.
【3】What can be inferred from the statement of the United Nations?
A.Plenty of food waste is avoidable.
B.Food production is far from enough.
C.Advanced agriculture is urgently needed.
D.Foods are too fragile to be well stored.
【4】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.The procedure for food production is complex.
B.Joint efforts are needed to feed 10 billion people.
C.There are great opportunities for food business.
D.Governments should take full responsibility.
23、One thing that previous AI game engines have in common is that they were taught the rules of each game before learning to play it. Now, researchers from DeepMind have taken a step further. DeepMind just announced that its MuZero AI is capable of playing a variety of games without being told the rules.
When DeepMind unveiled its original AlphaGo AI in 2016, the world took notice. It was capable of beating the world's best human players in the ancient strategy game, Go. It then topped the original version by creating AlphaGo Zero, an AI capable of learning to play Go by playing against itself. That was a step up from the original version, which learned by watching people play. From there, DeepMind branched out. It taught its AlphaZero to play Go, chess, and shogi. Being able to master all three games was another impressive accomplishment.
MuZero is a sort of combination. It did forgo（放弃）the need to hear the rules of the three games above. It learned to play games on its own and is even better at them than any other version that DeepMind has created so far.
DeepMind's MuZero combines aspects of two prediction models to try and solve the problem of predicting something that isn't governed by a strict set of rules. This means that MuZero is thinking a lot more like a human than a computer. It must rule out factors that aren't likely to impact the outcome to focus on the ones that will.
MuZero represents a big leap forward. DeepMind notes that it has potential applications in fields like robotics, industrial systems, and other "messy real-world environments."
【1】What does the underlined word "unveiled" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Updated.
B．Tested.
C．Showed.
D．Sold.
【2】How did MuZero learn to play games?
A．By being taught the rules.
B．By studying independently.
C．By watching people play.
D．By playing against itself.
【3】What can we learn about MuZero from the last paragraph?
A．It will have a bright future.
B．It will make the world messy.
C．It still needs improvement.
D．It will take the place of humans.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．MuZero will be widely used in the future.
B．MuZero is better than humans at playing games.
C．MuZero is designed to play games with humans.
D．MuZero is able to learn to play games on its own.
24、 The Sieferts are the kind of environmentally conscious family who has solar panels atop their home．They use timers on their kids' showers and have planted drought-tolerant landscaping．But they feel kind of guilt．“I haven’t thought about the pool as much as I probably should,” said Annette Siefert.
As California's drought worsens, swimming pools have become a target for those who think the classic backyard greens waste water．Some water districts have banned new pools from being filled and have limited how much water existing pools can use.
But some of those agencies are walking back the rules as they make a surprising discovery: Pools aren't the water wasters some have made them out to be．Analyses by various water districts, along with scientific studies, conclude that pools and their surrounding landscapes use about the same amount of water as a lawn(草坪) of the same size．Over time, pools might even use less water．With pool covers, experts say water evaporation(蒸发) can be cut by almost half, making pools significantly less wasteful than grass and about as efficient as drought-tolerant landscaping.
Facing complaints over a recent ban on filling pools, the Santa Margarita Water District conducted its own water-use analysis．It found that pools require thousands of gallons of water to fill originally, but they use about 8,000 gallons less water than a traditional landscape after that．By the third year, the analysis found, the savings add up, and a pool's water use falls below that of a lawn.
Water agencies such as the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power have come to similar conclusions．Armed with new information, Santa Margarita Water District officials will reconsider their ban next week.
“We want to respect the people's rights to use their possessions．There are many families we know that have saved for pools,” said Jonathan Volzke, spokesman for the 155,000-customer district．“But at the same time, the reality around us is that we're in the third year of a serious drought, and we don't know if we're in the third year of a three-year drought or the third year of a 10-year drought.”
【1】Annette Siefert feels guilty mainly because of ________.
A．being a typical water waster
B．the water-use of their swimming pool
C．her control over her kids' showers at home
D．the construction of the drought-tolerant landscaping
【2】According to analyses and scientific studies, a swimming pool ________.
A．had better be filled up in the beginning
B．becomes more efficient against drought
C．isn't what people think to be wasteful of water
D．consumes more water than a lawn of the same size
【3】What does Jonathan Volzke try to express in the last paragraph?
A．He expects the serious drought to come to an end.
B．He thinks highly of those who have saved for pools.
C．He tries to hold the right to use the swimming pools．
D．He appeals for reasonable use of the swimming pools.
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Water Crisis in California
B．Strict Ban on Filling Pools
C．Pools—A Big Factor During Drought?
D．The Sieferts—Real Environmentalists?

26、There are the two simple words, “if” and “what”. These two words can be used in many sentences and questions by themselves, but if you put them together, it forms a serious question, “What if…?”
This question will bring you back to a certain time in your life when you made a choice. You may not be happy with that choice today and often think about why you did it, but you made the decision because it was the best choice at that specific moment in your life. Now, years later, you start to think about that specific choice you made. You mentally struggle with yourself and consider if you could choose again, what would you do? Would it be totally different?
I truly believe if you want something very much, you can do it and achieve it , because “Where there is a will, there is a way.” You can correct the mistakes of your decisions for the past, go out and find happiness in the right decisions for your future. It is never too late to do anything in life.
