21、For centuries, fishers in Narrangansett have fished in the waters of the northwestern Atlantic for herrings (鲱鱼). But as climate change warms the world’s seas, the herrings are disappearing at the southern end of their range and turning up more often at its northern edges. A study shows that concentrations of marine (海洋的) species populations have been shifting away from the equator (赤道) and toward the poles during the course of the past century. These movements could wreak havoc on food webs and endanger the livelihoods (生计) of fishers.
The tropical (热带的) water at the equator is well-known for having the richest diversity of marine life on Earth. The number of marine species naturally decreases gradually as you head towards the poles. Ecologists have assumed this global pattern has remained stable over recent centuries until now. Our recent study found the ocean around the equator has already become too hot for many species to survive, and that global warming is responsible. And as species flee to cooler water towards the poles, it’s likely to have deep impacts on marine ecosystems.
Losing species in tropical ecosystems means ecological adaptation to environmental changes is reduced, potentially damage ecosystem persistence. In subtropical ecosystems, species richness is increasing. This means there’ll be species invaders, and new competitive relationships. This could result in ecosystem collapse in which species go extinct and ecosystem services (such as food supplies) are permanently changed.
One way is to reduce our emissions aggressively. Other opportunities could also help safeguard biodiversity and hopefully minimize the worst impacts of it shifting away from the equator. Designing climate-smart reserves could further protect biodiversity from future changes. For example, reserves for marine life could be placed where the climate will be stable over the foreseeable future. We should take action without delay.

【3】What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A．The increase of species in subtropical ecosystem.
B．The decline of ecological changes in the ocean.
C．The temporary changes in ecosystem services.
D．The effects of species’ immigration on marine ecosystem.
【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this article?
A．To inform readers of the reduction of marine species.

22、D
When my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.” Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better?
The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers. However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is confined to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.
The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.
Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.
When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compares with my kids. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the traditional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.

A. free B. restricted
C. devoted D. accustomed
【4】 According to the author what is the biggest advantage of homeschooling children?
A. They can be better at socializing.
B. They can be more popular.
C. They will become braver.
D. They can study better.
【5】 How does the passage mainly develop?

23、 You may have been told before not to be afraid of anything. Fear is often associated with weakness. Fear is something to be avoided.
But that's not true, according to Time For Kids magazine. Fear can be good for us.
Fear tells us about danger. Without fear, we wouldn't know to run away from a tiger or step back from a cliff.
In a study published in the Justice Quarterly journal in August, researchers from Michigan State University said that a healthy fear of crime keeps teenagers away from potentially dangerous people, places and activities.
Fear makes us jump, scream and sweat. But interestingly, sometimes we make ourselves feel fear on purpose. Think about scary books and movies, and also the long lines for a scary roller coaster ride.
Margee Kerr, a US sociologist, explained why to Time For Kids.
Fear fills our brain with healthy chemical substances, especially endorphins and dopamine, and these things create feelings of happiness and excite us, according to Kerr.
In addition, when you're scared, your body produces a chemical which helps people bond with each other.
"Watch people walking out of a haunted house, and you'll see lots of smiles and high fives," Kerr told Time For Kids. That also explains why schools and companies organize challenging trips and physical activities to build up team spirit.
People experience and deal with fear in different ways. If you happen to be a “coward” who gets scared easily, don't worry. There is some evidence that being scared can help a person manage stressful situations. Kerr said that things like giving a presentation in front of your class or performing in a school play help build a sort of endurance to fear that makes us more confident.
“You become more comfortable with the physical experience of fear, and so you are better able to work through it during tense situations,” said Kerr.
So learn to love your fear. It only grows when we forget how helpful our fear is trying to be.

24、When the COVID-19 hit and supermarket shelves were empty, Chris Hall and Stefanny Lowey decided they no longer wanted to rely on others for food. The couple, who live on Pender Island in British Columbia, Canada, decided to start a year-long challenge where they wouldn't buy a single thing to eat. Instead they would grow, raise or catch everything—right down to sugar, salt and flour. Now, five months in, they say the challenge has changed their lives.
Chris, 38, said, “It has always been something that we have wanted to do. We have had a garden and grown vegetables for a long time already. When the COVID-19 hit, it gave us that extra push that we needed to do it. We were both out of work when we started, and with the reality check of grocery stores running out of items, it gave us even more motivation to see if we could look after ourselves.”
The pair spent the months before building a house for chickens, ducks and turkey as well as studying as much as possible to figure out where they would get all the things they needed. Chris adds, “We had to learn so many new things like how to grow mushrooms, process our Stevia plants, and harvest salt from the ocean. We spent a lot of time reading and studying online to figure out all the things we were going to need to do.”
Now after five months, they both feel its been going well but Chris admits the first few weeks were difficult. “The first three weeks were very challenging as our bodies adjusted to cutting out coffee, wine and sugar all on the same day,” he says. “After three weeks our energy levels balanced out and our wishes reduced and now we feel great.” Now February has ended. As they come through winter, they feel positive about continuing with this way of living, with their challenge officially ending in August.
【1】Why did the pair decide to produce foods on their own?
A．They were isolated by Pender Island.
B．They couldn't afford to buy them because they were out of work.
C．They believed it's good for their health.
D．They could hardly buy them in shops.
【2】Which words can be used to describe the couple?
A．Rich and generous.
B．Helpful and positive.

B．They were discouraged by the difficulty at first.
C．They had difficulty because they wanted more.
D．They couldn't adjust their bodies to the hard work after three weeks.

25、We have all heard the dangers of helicopter parenting. Remaining too_______ in a kid’s life, especially throughout college, can lead to depression, lack of self-reliance and feelings of entitlement.
Superficially, this wisdom is _______ .But some academics and educators now say they see signs of a troubling backlash(反冲).The concern: warnings that moms and dads should_______ ‘the over parenting trap"- are discouraging parents from getting involved at all.
Yes, parents can be intrusive _______, there are increasing examples of parents refusing to set up when students genuinely need their family. One mom kept _______about her son’ s signs of depression until right before he failed a semester. She did not want to “helicopter in’”.
That means colleges, which have spent the past decade learning to_______ parents who get too involved, now have a different _______. But the solution to both is the same: devising ways to _______moms and dads into the right kind of _______ role.
Much of this began because schools were forced to cope with a generation of students ________with their parents like never before, thanks to smartphones. And with __________in education soaring, university leaders have started to view parents as investment partners. Most or them have paid for this education for their children or gone into debt for this education. And in some sense, they are ____________ to know and be assured that colleges are __________ their children’s welfare.
Crucially, parent - outreach programs have also served as buffers (缓冲), ________students ----or worse, their professors -- the discomfort of the nagging . At the University of Maryland, for example, the parent office has handled ________for weekly academic - progress reports, which do not exist in higher education. Parents just want to know they have a place to go where someone will listen to their concerns.
But now, with some moms and dads cautious of even contacting the school in the first place, those same programs are being used to encourage a more balanced __________, often via blogs, email and Facebook. Parents are now advised to be a guide, while acknowledging that the __________ owns the Journey. That means asking questions, listening to answers, being patient and trusting kids to ____________ their own problems . But if issues ________, or if a student is in serious mental or physical danger , it also means hopping in the chopper , at least for a little while .“ When you think about it ,helicopters are useful tools ,” says Chelsea Petree , who is launching a parent - outreach program .“ They can see things we on the ________can ’ t see and get to emergencies quicker than we can . They can swoop in when needed . The key is that they go back up .”
