21、 William Happer, a physics professor and outspoken critics of mainstream climate science, has joined the White House as a top adviser.
Happer, 79, told E&E News in email that he began serving yesterday on the National Security Council as the senior director for emerging technologies. NSC officials confirmed Happer’s new role but declined to provide further detail about the appointment, which VNN first reported.
When asked about his new NSC role, Happer said he would do his best to ensure that federal policy decisions “are based on sound science and technology”.
A retired physics professor at Princeton University and a former Energy Department official under former President George H. W. Bush’s administration in the 1990s, Happer is well-known for his public criticism of mainstream climate modeling and his ties to the Trump administration.
___①___
Happer told The scientist that the significance of climate changes has been “tremendously exaggerated” and has “become sort of a cult(邪教) movement in the last five or ten years.”Happer also said Presidents Trump, who has referred to climate change as a trick, agreed with his assessment.
___②____
Happer, who is not a climate scientist by training, is known in physics for his development in the 1980s of the sodium guide star(钠导星) that was initially used for missile defense technology and has now gained broader application in astronomy. According to his Princeton biography, he’s credited as one of the pioneers in the field of optically polarized(光学极化的) atoms.
___③____
Happer has accused both NOAA and NASA of controlling temperature records and claimed that higher concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would emphasize plant life, citing satellite data showing a greening of the planet.
___④____
“The public, in general, doesn’t realize that from the point of view of geological history, we are in a CO2 famine,” he told E&E News during the interview in January.
Many researchers say other impacts of climate change, such as rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns, have a negative impact on plant life and that higher CO2 levels may not be a benefit to all plants, even in the short term.
Happer told E&E News in January that he supported Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the Paris climate accord but said he wished the president had focused on how the agreement “did not make scientific sense”. Trump had cast the agreement as harmful to the US economy.

22、The COVID-19 pandemic has been a frequent topic of conversation for most of us over the past year. As we dreamt of indoor dining, vacations, and hugging our friends again, my friend Ana texted that her mother, living in Brazil, had been infected by the coronavirus. I won’t go into details here, but the disruption to life in Brazil have been especially upsetting considering their social and cultural norms (规范).
Ana is Brazilian, and I’m from the US. While living in New York City, we became fast friends despite the few awkward cultural differences I learned to deal with. She was comfortable with intimacy; I preferred to keep my distance. She liked the company of many; I liked the friendship of few. It was awkward for me to lean in for a quick hug, only to be embraced then kissed on the cheeks. To this day, I’m not an excellent cheek kisser, but I try. She is one of many people over the years who have educated me, in a way, about delighting in cultural difference.
I called Ana to check on her mother and I was primarily curious about how social and cultural norms have been affected. It’s difficult, said Ana, because the necessary health regulations are opposite to “what we believe and everything we know about living in a community and displaying feelings of love”, but she hasn’t given up hope. I asked if the shifts made during the pandemic will change cultural norms. “Absolutely not,” said Ana. This is who Brazilians are in nature and change doesn’t happen overnight. They spend a lot of time and energy investing in relationships, and the deeply rooted social conventions won’t change quickly.
Over the years, Ana has shared many stories that emphasize the differences in our upbringing. I delight in our differences, even if kissing on the cheek makes me uncomfortable. We find our commonalities, like talking with our hands, being expressive, and valuing community. And we learn from our differences. COVID disrupted many things, but through all of this, Ana said, we must constantly be adjusting, understanding, and doing what’s best for our communities and the people we love.
【1】Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 1?
A.Adjustment.
B.Disturbance.
C.Commitment.
D.Preference.
【2】What can we learn about Ann from Paragraph 2?
A.She is good at educating other people.
B.She prefers to stay alone in her own comfort zone.
C.She enjoys the close contact with others.
D.It took a long time for her to make friends with me.
【3】Why doesn’t Ana think the pandemic will change social and cultural norms?
A.Because the Brazilians are born to be sociable.
B.Because the social conventions are easy to change.
C.Because the health regulations consist with her beliefs.
D.Because Brazilians rarely value investment in relationships.
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A.My Attitude towards Friendship
B.Social and Cultural norms in the Pandemic
C.The Influence of COVID-19 on Life
D.My Acceptance of Cultural Differences
23、All Miss Price had been told about the new boy was that he’d spent most of his life in some kind of orphanage, and that the gray-haired “aunt and uncle” with whom he now lived were really foster parents (养父母), paid by the Welfare Department of the City of New York. A less devoted teacher might have pressed for more details, but Miss Price was content with the rough outline. It was enough to fill her with a sense of mission that shone from her eyes, from the first morning he joined the fourth grade.
He arrived early and sat in the back row, his backbone very straight, his ankles crossed precisely under the desk and his hands folded on the center of its top, and while the other children were filling in, he received a long, expressionless stare from each of them.
“We have a new classmate this morning,” Miss Price said, “His name is Vincent Sabella, and he comes from New York City. I know we’ll all do our best to make him feel at home.”
This time they all swung around to stare at once, which caused him to duck his head slightly and shift his weight from one side to the other. Ordinarily, the fact of someone’s coming from New York might have held a certain status, for to most of the children the city was a frightening, adult place that swallowed up their fathers every day. But anyone could see at a glance that Vincent Sabella had nothing to do with it. Even if you could ignore his twisted black hair and gray skin, his clothes would have given him away: ridiculously new pants, ridiculously old sports shoes and a yellow sweatshirt, much too small, with the faded remains of a Mickey Mouse design stamped on its chest.
The girls decided that he wasn’t very nice and turned away, but the boys remained in their inspection, looking him up and down with faint smiles. This was the kind of kid they were accustomed to thinking of as “tough,” the kind whose stare has made all of them uncomfortable at one time or another in unfamiliar neighborhoods; here was a unique chance for revenge.
【1】What can you learn about Miss Price and Vincent from the first two paragraphs?
A.Since nobody had ever seen Vincent’s parents, he now lived all by himself.
B.Miss Price knew Vincent so well that she’d like to focus every bit of attention on him.
C.Miss Price didn’t know much about Vincent, but that didn’t stop her wanting to care about him.
D.Vincent sat in the back row so as not to arouse any unnecessary attention caused by his late arrival.
【2】Why does the author mention “New York” in the third and the fourth paragraphs?
A.To illustrate Vincent’s distant origin.
B.To demonstrate children’s desire to go to see their fathers.
C.To emphasize Vincent’s low social status from his shabby clothes.
D.To state a certain distinction between Vincent and people’s imagination.
【3】Which of the following words can best describe Vincent?
A.Devoted but shy.
B.Nervous and uneasy.
C.Untalkative and tough.
D.Sensitive but unfortunate.
【4】What can you infer from the text about Vincent’s new classmates?
A.They were either unconcerned or unfriendly toward him.
B.They used to consider people like Vincent to be very tough.
C.They barely noticed the new boy sitting in the back of the classroom.
D.They were very curious about the newcomer in a kind and considerate manner.
24、“We are good mothers,” I said to my friend, as we sat on our comfortable beach chairs under our beach umbrella and watched our children playing in the waves.
Out of nowhere, the children took off running. About fifty yards from us, a man—maybe in his fifties—was fishing. The children stood next to him and watched with their little mouths hanging open as he cast the fishing lines. He smiled at them. They ran back to us—all except my three-year-old daughter, Drew.
My heart beat fast with horror. “Drew! Come here! Play with your friends!” I shouted, very aware that my speeches about not talking to strangers weren’t working. It seemed that many parents heard of horrible stories about children being taken away by strangers. Responsible mothers should teach their children that the world is a dangerous place. So I felt relieved when Drew ran towards me and took hold of a shovel (铲子). Then she looked me in the eye: “I want to be with the person.”
Again, she approached the middle-aged man, and started digging next to him.
Several seconds later, she returned, waving something shiny.
“Look, Mommy! A toy fish!”
It was, indeed, a toy fish—yellow and rubber. This must have been what he was using to attract the fish. And he’d given it to Drew. The three other children were deeply impressed, and they didn’t try to hide how jealous(妒忌的)they were—clearly, they all wanted the fish.
“My friend gave me that fish!” Drew shouted loudly. The sand in front of the umbrella turned into a preschool cage match with a yellow rubber fish flying through the air. I felt like I might cry myself.
Unexpectedly, there he was: the man, standing right next to us with three more rubber fish in hand. He handed them to each of the children. By their faces, you would have thought he was actually the really kind big brother.
“Thank you,” I said, realizing that there is good and kindness in strangers.
【1】 How did the author feel when Drew stood beside the man?
A. relieved B. angry C. concerned D. calm
【2】 What does the author think good mothers should do?
A. be around their kids
B. warn their kids of danger
C. teach their kids to behave well
D. devote themselves to helping their kids
【3】 When was the author at a loss(迷茫)?
A. Drew handed her the toy fish
B. The kids fought for the toy fish
C. The toy fish was covered with sand
D. The stranger appeared from nowhere
【4】 What would be the best title for the text?
A. Give a kid a fish
B. We are good mothers
C. The world is dangerous
D. Teach kids to be kind
