26、In recent years some extreme weather events have arisen from global warming because of human activities, with studies indicating an increasing threat from extreme weather in the future. Scientists were certain that global warming is being caused mostly by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases and other humanactivities.
Its effects include warming global temperature, rising sea levels and expansion of deserts in the subtropics(亚热带). Warming is expected to be greater over land than over the oceans and greatest in the Arctic, with the continuing loss of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely changes include more frequent extreme weather events including heat waves, droughts, heavy rainfall with floods, heavy snowfall and species extinction due to great change of temperature. Bad effects on humans include the threat to food security from decreasing crop yields and the loss of populated(住人的) areas because of rising sea levels.
Possible responses to global warming are reduction of emissions(排放), adaptation to its effects, building systems resilient to its effects, and possible future climate engineering. Most countries are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change UNFCCC), whose objective is to prevent dangerous climate change. It has adopted a range of policies designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to assist in adaptation to global warming. It is agreed that future global warming should be limited to below 2.0 °C (3.6 °F) relative to the pre-industrial level.
On 12 November 2015, NASA scientists reported that human-made carbon dioxide continues to increase above levels that have not been seen in hundreds of thousands of years: currently, about half of the carbon dioxide released from the burning of fossil fuels remains in the atmosphere and is not absorbed by vegetation and the oceans.
【1】What does the underlined word “resilient” mean?
A. be easily damaged B. be able to recover easily
C. can be bent easily D. be difficult to change
【2】Which of following is NOT mentioned as an effect of global warming?
A. rising sea levelsand expansion of deserts
B. more frequent extreme weather events
C. species extinction
D. increasing crop yields
【3】Which of the following can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. It is likely for us to deal with global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, adapting to its effects and climate engineering.
B. There is no solution to too much carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.
C. It is common that human-made carbon dioxide keeps on increasing greatly in the previous several centuries.
D. Future global warming should be limited to below 3.6 °C.
27、With the coming of online book buying, many have predicted that the book-stores will disappear eventually. To the book lovers, nothing beats walking through a bookshop, looking at all the covers, picking up large heavy books and turning them over. The smell of ink on paper, and conversations with strangers about authors are amazing for them. And we’re grateful that there’re beautiful bookstores still out there.
El Ateneo Grand Splendid
Designed for the music director Max Glucksmann, this building was opened as a show-stopping theater called Teatro Gran Splendid in Buenos Aires in 1919. After nearly a century of hosting tango (探戈舞) masters, the great space was rented by a firm, Grupo Ilhsa, in 2000. The former theater now serves as the group’s flagship bookstore; more than 1 million people visit it annually.
The Book Barge
The Book Barge is a 60-foot canal boat bookshop. Inspired by the Slow Food movement, Henshaw says, “We hope to promote a less hurried and busy lifestyle filled with leisure and pleasure here, through cups of tea, conversations, culture and of course, an extremely good Book Barge purchase.”
La Caverne aux Livres
At La Caverne aux Livres in north of Paris, an old postal train station and several mail-sorting train cars have become home to a ranging collection of used books for sale. Visitors often spend hours looking through the broad selection there, surrounded by an atmosphere of old letters and dreams of faraway places.
Selexyz Dominicanen
For those who regard bookstores with great respect, welcome to Swlexyz Dominicanen: a 13th-century Dominican church in Maastricht, Holland.

28、 When it comes to France, its amazing food and wine will naturally make your mouth water. But you are also concerned about putting on weight, eager to get a good workout. 【1】 Then the Medoc Wine and Marathon Festival might be your perfect choice.
Created in 1984, the festival takes its name from the Medoc wine-growing region, north of Bordeaux on France’s Atlantic coast. 【2】 The reason for this lies in its three biggest highlights.
It is a paradise for foodies. The annual festival, held each fall, involves thousands of runners going through a variety of splendid vineyards providing free wine. In the meanwhile water stations are also offered along the way so that runners don’t get too dehydrated(脱水的). 【3】However, better not drink it with abandon, for you can also try some of the local French delicacies, such as oysters, grapes and ice cream and so on, which will definitely tickle your taste buds!
【4】. Each year the marathon has a theme and this year it is ‘superheroes’ – something you just might have to be if you want to finish under the six-and-a-half hour time limit. However, if you simply rush to the finishing line desperately, then you are out, for it is most famous for its relaxing and flexible running time, allowing participants to enjoy the experience rather than try and reach their personal best time.
It is a feast for your eyes. The marathon also requires that runners dress up in colorful costume. You can be whatever character you like, such as knights, wizards, or queens. A winner is to be picked out at the end for the best costume.
What are you waiting for? 【5】 And enjoy the French culture to the fullest!

29、What is LEAP?
LEAP-Language Experience for All Programme-is the name of our University Wide Language Programme provided by the University Language Centre. These courses are open to all students, members of staff and members of the public, with the aim of delivering practical courses in a range of foreign languages to students who are not language specialists.
Course dates
For most courses, the teaching period is between 5th October until 11th December 2020 (semester one), and again from 8th February until 14th May 2021 (semester two).
All classes in semester one will be delivered online. We intend to teach on Campus in semester two, but it will depend on how the situation with Covid-19 develops.
Course fees 2020-21
Members of the public:
◇£570 full standard 23-week course.
◇£310 shorter 12-week course, or one semester only of a standard 23-week course.
Students
Current (undergraduate postgraduate) students with no ’free choice’ credits available:
◇£360 full standard 23-week course.
◇£195 (one semester-only courses).
University of Manchester staff:
◇£360 full standard 23-week course.

Will there be a mix of students on the course?
Classes can be made up of students (credited, non-credited, undergraduate, postgraduate) members of staff at the university and members of the public from the local community and around the North-West.
Classes have already started-is it too late to apply?
We prefer all students to start courses in week one, but exceptions may be made if places are still available and level allows.
Assignments and homework
Because language learning is skill-based (rather like learning to play a musical instrument) you will be asked to do more work at home than is normal on lecture courses. This work may take several hours a week, and it is essential that it is done regularly. You will not be able to learn everything a week before (an examination and regular independent learning must take place if you are to progress with your language studies.)
