21、The recent heat wave that had broken temperature records across Europe broke different records when it arrived in Greenland.
On August l, the Greenland Ice Sheet experienced its biggest single-day of ice loss in recorded history. About 12. 5 billion tons of ice melted and poured into the Atlantic Ocean, satellite data showed One day earlier, over 10 billion tons of ice melted.
Every I billion tons of ice lost creates enough water to fill 400, 00 Olympic swimming pools, the Danish Meteorological Institute noted late last week. The center offered the comparison to help people try to understand just how much ice melted. One Danish scientist offered a different comparison. Climate expert Martin Stendl said the total ice that melted in Greenland on July 31 and August I could cover all of Germany with seven centimeters of water.
Greenland saw its most expansive ice melt on record in July 2012. That month, over 90 percent of the Greenland Ice Sheet was at least partly melting, scientists say. By late July 2012, about 250 billion tons of ice had melted and Greenland's 2019 melt season could end up breaking the record set in2012.
The recent extreme melting in Greenland was caused by the same burst of hot air that hit Europe in late July. Places across Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Britain broke hot temperature records. Heat waves have always happened, notes Mike Sparrow, an expert. But he says extreme heat waves are happening 10 times more often now than they were a century ago. Mike said that such heat waves are weather events that can happen naturally. "But, "he said, "Studies have shown that the frequency and intensity（强度）. . have increased due to global warming. ?
【1】Why does the author mention two comparisons?

B．Most ice sheet in Greenland was partly melting in July 2012.
C．The Greenland has lost more ice on July 31 than that on August 1.
D．The frequent and intensive heat waves are natural weather phenomena.
【3】What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A．The hot temperature records.
B．The reason for heat waves.

22、Every new parent knows, or learns pretty quickly, that rocking can calm the crying baby when it’s time to take a nap. But the benefits of gentle motion(运动)may extend past the swaddling(襁褓)stage. Because two new studies show that rocking also helps grown-ups, both human and mouse, get a good night’s sleep.
What should be no surprise is that movement can be soothing. Think of how many times you’ve fallen asleep on a train. But can motion really cause a nap, and make for a deeper sleep?
To find out, researchers invited 18 healthy volunteers for a sleepover. “So they came to the lab and they slept one time on normal beds which are motionless. And one night where they got rocked,” said Aurore Perrault, a sleep researcher at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. “And what we find is that when compared to a motionless night, a whole night of rocking sleep has a beneficial effect not only on sleep beginning but also on sleep maintenance, as we saw that they have less micro-awakening during the night.” Subjects who rocked also did better on a memory test the next morning than the stiller sleepers.
In the second study, Knostantinos Kompotis, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Lausanne, rocked a group of mice. “Whether rocking affects sleep in species other than humans was never before discussed. So the main questions for our study were does rocking affect sleep in mice and what’s the reason?”
Kompotis placed the mouse cages on a platform that moved from side to side. And though mice were rocked four times faster than their human counterparts—a frequency of one back-and-forth per second, or 1Hertz, worked best—the results were strikingly similar. During rocking at 1 Hertz, time spent asleep increased, and mice fell asleep twice as fast as at still condition.
Additional studies could allow the researchers to identify a new target for treating sleep disorders, including insomnia(失眠). Until then, you might think about adding a little swing to your night-time routine.
【1】The underlined word “soothing” in paragraph 2 most probably means________.
A．consuming
B．tiring
C．comforting
D．interesting
【2】How did the researchers carry out the first study?
A．By making predictions.
B．By doing a survey.
C．By collecting data.
D．By making comparison.
【3】What can we learn about the mice according to Paragraph 5?
A．Their sleep disorder including insomnia was treated.
B．Their sleeping time increased when rocked at 1 Hertz.
C．When rocked from side to side, they failed to fall asleep.
D．When rocked, they fell asleep four times faster than at still condition.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Rocking is Beneficial
B．Rocking Enables a Sound Sleep
C．Rocking Helps Treat Insomnia
D．Rocking Affects Sleep in Animals
23、Flamenco, a type of dance, is very popular in southern Spain. 【1】 Sometimes a woman dances alone and sometimes she dances with a man. The woman always wears a long, colorful dress. She moves her arms and hands slowly but her feet move in fast, difficult steps. The man often wears black. 【2】
Cossack dances are from Russia and Ukraine. 【3】 Dancers have to be very fit because they jump very high and kick their legs up and down. They often jump over swords. The movements are similar to traditional Cossack activities, for example, sword fighting and getting or and off horses.
【4】 But today it is an important part of celebrations in the Caribbean (加勒比人). Young people have to dance under a pole (杆). The pole is often on fire and the dancer mustn't touch it! After a successful "limbo", they put the pole lower and do it again.
Mask dances are important for the Dogon people in Mali. Each village makes different masks. They are often huge and colorful. There are masks of people, monsters or local animals like crocodiles and monkeys. Dancers of this kind are always men. 【5】 Today, the Dogon people also perform the dances for tourists.
A．Limbo dancing is first from west Africa
B．Let me introduce some kinds of dances to you

F．It begins with guitar music and clapping (击掌) and then dancers join the performance.
G．And they dance to the sound of drums for hours after the death of a person in the village.
24、 “What kind of rubbish are you?” This question might normally provoke anger, but in Shanghai it has elicited weary groans over the past week. On July 1st the city introduced stringent trash-sorting regulations that are expected to be used as a model for the country.
Residents must divide their waste into four separate categories and toss it into specific public bins. They must do so at scheduled times, when monitors are present to ensure compliance (and to inquire into the nature of one’s rubbish.) Violators（违反者）face the prospect of fines and worse.
Shanghai authorities are responding to an obvious environmental problem. It generates 9m tonnes of garbage a year, more than London’s annual output and rising quickly. But like other cities in China, it lacks a recycling system. Instead, it has relied on trash pickers to sift through the waste, plucking out whatever can be reused. This has limits. As people get wealthier, fewer of them want to do such dirty work. The waste, meanwhile, just keeps piling up. China churns out 80bn pairs of disposable chopsticks a year.
The threat of punishment is integral to Shanghai’s drive. On the first day of enforcement, the government sent 3,600 city-management officers, a quasi-police force, to 4,216 rubbish-collection points. They began by making an example of wealthy foreigners: the first warning was issued to Swissôtel Grand, a five-star hotel, for improper sorting. Individuals who fail to recycle could be hit with fines of up to 200 yuan ($29). For repeat violators, the city can add black marks to their credit records, making it harder for them to obtain bank loans or even buy train tickets.
Some object to this. Peng Feng of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences warns that the use of the credit system is overkill, raising a risk that officials will abuse their power. But others say a tough campaign is necessary. “Slowly people will get used to it,” says Li Changjun of Fudan University. Many residents appear to support the idea of recycling in general but are frustrated by the details. Rubbish must be divided according to whether it is food, recyclable, dry orhazardous, the distinctions among which can be perplexing, though there are apps to help work it out.
Some have complained about the rules surrounding food waste. They must put it straight in the requisite public bin, forcing them to tear open plastic bags and toss it by hand. Most vexing are the short windows for dumping trash, typically a couple of hours, morning and evening. Along with the monitors at the bins, this means that people go at around the same time and can keep an eye on what is being thrown out; no one wants to look bad.
But it is inconvenient. “People have to get to work. We don’t have the time for this,” said Mr Wu as he threw out rubbish outside his apartment building. To your correspondent’s untrained eye, his sorting looked impeccable.

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。
Ariana caught another whiff(难闻的味道)and tried to hold her breath. She moved away slightly, but Ashley only moved closer and continued talking. Ariana felt trapped. She wanted badly to tell Ashley that she didn’t smell very good. But how could she do that without hurting Ashley’s feelings? Instead, she gathered the remains of her lunch to throw into the trash, thankful for the excuse to get some fresh air. She looked back to see Ashley eating quietly. Ashley’s hair was tangled(乱糟糟的), and her clothes were dirty. Ariana forced herself to go back to the table and take her seat, vowing(发誓)that she would not sit with Ashley the next day.
When Ariana got home from school, she complained to her mom, “There’s a girl named Ashley who likes to sit next to me in school, but she smells bad.”
“She’s probably having a tough day,” said her mother.
“No, it’s not just one day. She smells bad a lot,” Ariana explained. “Nobody else likes to sit next to her, either.”
“I don’t think you understand Ashley’s situation, so let me ask you this...” Her mother’s tone was serious. “Who makes sure that your hair is combed every morning so you’ll look nice when you go to school?”
“You do,” answered Ariana.
“Who makes sure you’re bathed and cleaned every day? And your clothes are washed and neatly ironed?”
“You and Daddy,” Ariana said again.
“Do you live in a nice home? Do you have enough to eat?”
Ariana nodded, beginning to feel guilty. She was starting to understand now. Ashley couldn’t help her situation because she was only seven years old—the same age as Ariana. Grown-ups are supposed to take care of kids.
“Why doesn’t her family take better care of her?” Ariana asked.
“Not all children live in the best situation,” her mother said. “The best thing you can do for Ashley is to treat her with kindness and sympathy.”
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
Ariana bit her bottom lip. Sadness for Ashley filled her heart.
