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. ?

22、The United States is a country of immigrants. It is a place where people from all over the world come to build a better life. Some immigrants bring their families. Some bring a few of their favorite things. Others come alone with nothing but determination. One thing that every immigrant brings with them is their culture.
American immigration began in 1607 with the colony (殖民地) of Jamestown. In 1620, another group of people left England to build a settlement in America. They wanted to go to a place where they could practice their religion freely. Then many more people left their homes in Europe to build a better life in America. Many also came to America from Africa. By 1770, more than two million people had moved to America. Later on, more people came to the United States than ever before.
In cities all over America, you can see different cultures that formed this country. Many things that you may think of as being “American” are actually from a foreign culture. Some of the best examples of this are the foods people eat. Pizza and spaghetti are foods that all Americans know and love. But both of them are from Italy. Baseball is an all-American sport. But the hot dogs that people eat during the game are a type of food that was brought to America by German immigrants.
Over time, pizza and hot dogs have become a part of what is considered to be American food. In the same way, different groups of people have come together to define what an American is. An American can be a person of any background. An American can be of any faith. An American can be of any skin color. They can speak English clearly. They can speak English with an accent. Each new immigrant adds something new to American culture. It will keep changing as more people come to this country.

B. they are very popular with Americans
C. America is a country full of tasty foods
D. America is made up of different cultures

A. Immigrants and their American dreams
B. America: a melting pot of cultures
C. America: a land of opportunity
D. Life in the US: culture shock
23、Last night’s meteor(流星)shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers．According to Gabe Rothschild，Emerald Valley’s mayor，people gathered in the suburbs of the city，carrying heavy telescopes，expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky．What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead．
“My family was so frustrated，”admitted town resident Duane Cosby．“We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing，but it turned out to be a huge disappointment．”
Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been complaining about this problem for decades．They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past．They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it．
There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution．This population consists of birds，bats，frogs，snakes，etc．For example，outdoor lighting severely affects migrating birds．According to the International Dark-Sky Association．“100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers．”
Countless more animal casualties(伤亡)result from the use of artificial lighting．Clearly，people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings，but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans，too．They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase a person’s chances of getting cancer．
Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution．For years，Flagstaff，Arizona，has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory．Similar efforts have been made worldwide，and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them，so that other creatures can share the night．
【1】It happened last night that ．
A. the city’s lights affected the meteor watching

【4】What message does the author most want to give us?

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。
When Aiden asked me to go with him on a camping trip to the mountains, I thought it would mean a cottage with a wood-burning fireplace and hot chocolate. My comfortable image of camping became a nightmare (噩梦) when Aiden and his older brother, Lebron, showed up with camping supplies-tents, rolled-up sleeping bags, and canteens! I did pack a backpack, as instructed, but I had no idea we were going on survival training!
Lebron had a perfect plan, and he hurried me to get in so we could leave the busy city life behind us. Ahead, the mountains appeared bigger than I had remembered them: the trees were larger, and the environment was much more dangerous. At least the weather was amazing-cotton-candy clouds dotted the deep blue sky.
Before we began hiking, Lebron had a sleeping bag stuffed into my pack and told Aiden and me about hiking rules. The first part of the road looked easy. Soon, the path became narrower and rougher, forcing me to talk less. As we went higher, I could see the road zigzagging (蜿蜒) up the mountain.
“It looks closer than it is,” Lebron said, reading my facial expressions. “This is the most difficult part…watch your step, not the view. Loose rocks and tree roots make the road dangerous.”
Finally, we reached the top. My legs aching, I dropped my pack and complained. “No time to rest,” Lebron said, looking up at the sky. The weather had been warm all day, and it felt good to relax in the cool wind. “The weather up here changes quickly, and that cool air means a storm is around the corner. We need to set up camp.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I thought Lebron was kidding, but without delay they worked expertly.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lebron, sensing that I was scared, reached in his backpack for candies.
