21、 An international team has identified two areas in China where the scale of carbon dioxide absorption by new forests has been underestimated. Taken together, these areas account for a little over 35% of China's entire land carbon “sink”, the group says.
The two previously under-appreciated carbon sink areas are centred on China's southwest, in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi; and its northeast, particularly Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces.
These provinces have established a pattern of rapid afforestation of progressively larger regions, with provincial forest areas increasing by between 0.04 million and 0.44 million hectares per year over the past 10 to 15 years.
“Bold scientific statements must be supported by massive amounts of evidence and this is what we have done in this study.” Professor Paul Palmer, a co-author from Edinburgh University told the BBC.
“We have collected together a range of ground-based and satellite data-driven evidence to form a consistent and robust narrative about the Chinese carbon cycle.”
China's increasing leafiness has been evident for some time. Billions of trees have been planted in recent decades, to deal with desertification and soil loss, and to establish vibrant timber and paper industries.
Data from NASA Earth satellites shows that human activity in China and India dominate this greening of the planet, thanks to tree planting and agriculture. Satellite data (2000—2017) reveal a greening pattern that is strikingly remarkable in China and India and overlaps with croplands world-wide.
China alone accounts for 25% of the global net increase in leaf area with only 6.6% of global vegetated area.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following is true about the two newly-identified areas?
A．They are based on Southeast and Northwest China.
B．Their forests have absorbed over 35% of China’s carbon dioxide.
C．They take up over one third of China’s entire land carbon sink areas.
D．Their forest areas have increased from 0.04 to 0.44 million hectares per year.
【2】China has planted more trees in recent decades in order to _________.
A．keep the soil fertile
B．set up more factories
C．turn the deserts into green land
D．prevent useful land from changing into desert
【3】The passage is most probably taken from _________.
A．a science fiction
B．a news website
C．an academic report
D．a travelling brochure
【4】Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A．Carbon Sink Areas in China
B．China Aims High in Afforestation
C．China and India Lead the Way in Greening
D．China's Forest Carbon Absorption Underestimated
22、 In 2018 biologist Jann Vendetti published a paper that described the discovery of five species of non-native snails and slugs（蜗牛和鼻涕虫）in Southern California. The research would not have been possible without some 1,200 volunteers who uploaded nearly 10,000 photos to the SLIME project (Snails and Slugs Living in Metropolitan Environments) on an app called iNaturalist.
“So the entire existence of that paper is dependent upon these citizen scientists. How do you credit those people?” said Greg Pauly from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. “There are some very specific requirements that a lot of journals and a lot of academic societies use. And those requirements largely would exclude nonprofessional scientists. And to me, that’s absurd.” That’s why Pauly, together with Vendetti, and several Australian biologists are arguing that criteria must change to recognize citizen scientists as authors on scientific journal articles.
They propose what they’re calling “group co-authorship.” The author list on Vendetti’s snail-and-slug paper includes the phrase “citizen science participants in SLIME.” But the phrase is absent when you look up the paper on Google Scholar. The publication software simply isn’t equipped to handle that kind of authorship, and so it erases the group’s vital contribution.
In another case, several years ago in Australia, a team of researchers tried to condition native lizards not to eat the poisonous cane toads. The only reason it was successful was because they partnered with the traditional landowners in northwestern Australia, and this group was called the Balanggarra Rangers.
Several journals flat-out refused to allow for the inclusion of the Rangers as group co-authors. Eventually, the researchers did convince the editors of some journals to allow it, but the group’s title was shortened, as if it was a first and last name, in online indexing software: “B. Rangers.”
The researchers argue that these errors and omissions don’t only make the critical contributions of a native community as invisible, they could also be seen as showing prejudice.
“If the person who had made that contribution was a graduate student who was trying to pursue a career in the sciences, we would all say, ‘Oh, of course that person should be a co-author’. But we don’t necessarily extend that same line of reasoning to citizen scientists.”
Allowing for group co-authorship is not a new idea. In 2004 the journal Nature published a paper titled “Initial Sequencing and Analysis of the Human Genome.” It listed as the sole author the “International Human Genome Sequencing Association.” “So let’s just choose this group-authorship model and turn it into group co-authorships. This really shouldn’t be that hard.”
【1】What can be learned about Vendetti’s snail-and-slug paper?
A．It is the first paper to credit citizen scientists on the title page.
B．It describes snails and slugs living in metropolitan environments.
C．It is available on the publication software Google Scholar.
D．It includes 10,000 photos of snails and slugs in Southern California.
【2】What can be inferred about Balanggarra Rangers?

A．To point out the omissions in the line of reasoning.
B．To highlight the contribution of a native community.
C．To argue against showing favor for a particular group.
D．To prove that not crediting citizen scientists is unfair.
【4】The author’s purpose of writing the article is to ________.
A．expose the unfair practice in the scientific community
B．call for the wide recognition of group co-authorship
C．call on more people to become citizen scientists

24、 Selah Thompson shares her love of reading and even creates her own stories.
Books have the power to transport you to another place and make you feel like you are part of the story. A love of reading should be developed at a young age so children can benefit a lot. That’s a gift 8-year-old Selah Thompson from Atlanta, Georgia, received from her parents and wants to pass on to other children.
When Selah was five, she came home from her first day at kindergarten and told her parents that a lot of her new friends at school didn’t know their ABCs, which really bothered Selah and she wanted to do something about it.
She then asked her parents to give away 20 hundred thousand books. Her parents began to do research and found that there is a huge amount of illiteracy (文盲) in America and that two-thirds of students who cannot read skillfully by the end of the fourth grade will end up in prison or on welfare.
After understanding the need for books and establishing a love for reading, Selah’s parents were on board. In 2018, they created the nonprofit Empowered Readers Literacy Project. This organization promotes families to create solid reading habits so children see books as something positive.
More than 2,400 kids and their parents participated in the reading activities in Atlanta in the first year. They also run an adventure time readers club and the 500 books project to get books into children’s hands.
Over the past two years, the literacy project has donated 8,000 books, including Selah’s own series. Although her goal of “20 hundred thousand books” is still quite far, Selah is on the right track. She is ambitious and a true role model for children and adults. Hopefully her love for books is contagious and children will be more willing to read when the main character actually looks like them.
【1】How did Selah feel when knowing some kids were illiterate?
A．Surprised.
B．Relieved.
C．Concerned.
D．Embarrassed.
【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A．Selah’s parents have the habit of researching literature.
B．Poor reading skills might cause one to fail in life.
C．Only a small number of parents teach kids at home.
D．Two-thirds of kids receive good school education.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “on board” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Deeply moved.
B．Ready to take action.
C．In a group as a member.
D．Riding on or in a ship, train, airplane.
【4】What do the last two paragraphs mainly focus on?
A．What they have done to help local schools.
B．How kids have formed the habit of reading.
C．How Selah has turned her dream into reality.
D．The influence Selah and her parents have brought.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It had been a long, tiring day because 48-year-old taxi driver Carl had worked for 8 hours. He’d been picking up and dropping off passengers the whole day. He wanted to get home then, but he noticed a panicky (恐慌的)woman getting off a taxi with a child in her arms.
“Why is she shouting at the driver?” Carl slowed down near them. He realized that the woman was begging the driver not to leave her there. The boy was having difficulty breathing, and his arms and legs were shaking uncontrollably. Carl realized the boy was having a seizure (疾病发作)and asked the woman to get into his taxi.
Carl drove as fast as he could. The hospital was several miles away, so he had to race against time to save the boy. Meanwhile, he grew concerned about why the previous driver had dropped them off during such an emergency. The woman told Carl that she and her four-year-old son, Tyler, returned from the park. She told the driver she would pay him once she got home because she didn’t take her purse. But then her son suddenly had a seizure, so she asked the driver to take them to the hospital instead. But the driver refused.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital. Tyler was rushed inside for treatment as his mother waited outside the ward, crying. Carl was hungry and tired but stayed back. An hour later, the doctor said, “Tyler is out of danger now. But it could have been fatal (致命的)if you hadn’t made it here on time.”
Mrs Thomas immediately looked at Carl and cried in tears, thanking Carl for saving her son’s life. Carl was glad Tyler was out of danger. Later, he dropped them off at home, and when Mrs Thomas came out to pay him, he refused. “I have a policy. NO FARES for those making trips to the hospital!” said Carl “I just did what any good human being would do. And please convey my regards to Tyler!” Thomas was moved by his kindness. Carl never changed his policy of dropping off passengers at hospitals for free.
