23、 A new study suggests climate conditions in the Sahara Desert, one of hottest, driest and most deserted areas in the world, have changed from wet to dry a about every 20,000 years.
But previous evidence has suggested the Sahara did not always experience such extreme heat and dry conditions. At times, the Sahara Ranged to a very wet climate. This permitted plants and animals to develop and grow and led to the creation of human settlements. Now, they have discovered more evidence, which, the lead researcher David Mc Gee says, supports the idea that the Sahara's climate kept changing between wet and dry about every 20,000,years.
McGee reported these climate changes were mainly driven by changes in the Earth's(地轴)as the planet travels round the sun .This process affects the amount of sunlight between seasons. Every 20,000 years the Earth receives more strong summer sunlight. When the Earth's axis changes again, the amount of sunlight is reduced. This season change happened continuously every 20,000 years. The other part of the season produced rainy conditions, resulting in a wetter, greener, plant-rich environment. When the rainy activity weakens, the climate becomes hot and dry, like the Sahara remains today.
The scientists based their research on dust collected from ocean sediment(沉积物)in the Atlantic Ocean bottom off the coast of West Africa. The dust contained layers (层)of ancient sediment built up over millions of years. Each layer could contain traces of Saharan dust as well as the remains of life forms. This information was used to assess over what time period the dust had built up. This led to the overall finding that the Saharan changes from wet to dry climates happened every 20,000 years.
David McGee said that today we only see the Sahara Desert as an extremely deserted and “inhospitable” place. The new study suggests that the area's climate has changes between grasslands and a much wetter environment, and back to dry climates, even over the last quarter million years. McGee says he thinks the latest research can be valuable in studying the Sahara's history as it relates to human settlement.
【1】What does the new study find about the Sahara Desert?
A. It is one of the hottest, driest and most deserted areas in Africa.
B. It always experiences extreme conditions because of its position.
C. Its climate changes between wet and dry about every 20,000 years.
D. Its environmental conditions stop plants and animals from surviving.
【2】What is the direct reason for Sahara's climate changes?
A. Rainy activity. B. Solar radiation.
C. Human activity. D. Global environment.
【3】How did the researchers acquire the evidence?
A. By analyzing ocean life.
B. By studying Sahara’s history.
C. By collecting dust on the coast.
D. By examining mean sediment.
【4】What does the underlined word “inhospitable” probably mean?
A. Unsuitable to live. B. Insignificant lo study.
C. Unable to explore. D. Impossible to change.
24、 After graduating as a graphic design major in 2018, Chen Minlin didn't hunt for a job that fits it, but became a trekker(远足者).
“Completing different trekking routes is like collecting cards in childhood-a lot of fun,” the 24-year-old told China Daily.
Like Chen, more young people are going on journeys to rediscover the simple and beneficial joys of walking. According to Youxiake,a Hangzhou-based tour operator, more than 140,000 travelers signed up for trekking trips from May 1 to Oct 31. This represents a 9. 3 percent increase over the same period last year.
For most trekkers, exploring nature by foot can help them keep fit. Hiking or trekking in nature enables them to breathe fresh air, gives the whole body a workout and keeps them away from the crowds in urban public places, making for a tranquil experience.
“I felt that exposure to nature and physical exhaustion helped me counteract the negative effects of my distress(痛苦）at that time,” Zhang Peng,33, co-founder of Beijing Hiking Club,said. Trekking “is a liberating experience to enjoy the tranquility in the wilderness. And the exhausting climb makes me feel the vigor(活力） of life.”
Trekking has, indeed, been integrated into his lifestyle. With great passion, Zhang has gone on many classic routes across the country. The longest trail he's ever finished was 240 kilometers.
With poor internet access in the wild, it encourages people to chat and interact with one another on the long walks along the trails. Zhang enjoys the social interaction, and the friendships it brings about.
For Liu Yanli, also a trekker, what she cherishes most is that the activity brings her mental strength.
Until this year, her life had always run smoothly and lacked hardship. She craved the sense of achievement that can be felt after overcoming the difficulties offered by trekking.
Ever since 2013, she's trekked in many countries, including Nepal, Japan, Greece, New Zealand, Italy and Jordan. In one situation, she felt she was at the point of collapsing, but she carried on. “I was impressed and moved by my willpower. I'd never experienced that feeling in my daily life,” Liu said.
It's perhaps this unusual feeling that appeals to more youths. “Each time when I came back from a trip,the contrast between the harsh conditions in the wild and my cozy home helps to strengthen my happiness in everyday life,” Liu added.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Feeling hungry? If you're feeling starved, what is the easiest way to satisfy your hunger? Many of us will reach for a takeaway menu and order some delicious but possibly unhealthy food. And our increasingly busy life adds to our need to buy ready-made food on the go or delivered to our home.
Eating options are endless, and new technology means we can feed our desire at the push of a button. Takeaway delivery apps make ordering food quick and convenient. This is especially the case during the recent coronavirus crisis, when people stuck at home with nothing to cook or lacked the skills to prepare a meal for themselves. It's calculated that in the UK alone, people eat three million takeaway meals a day, and the three biggest delivery apps together offer a choice of 100 cuisines from 60,000 restaurants. Amelia Brophy, Head of UK Data Products at You Goy, told the BBC that its research “suggests that the frequency of takeaways ordered is expected to increase in the future.”
It's no wonder we are tempted (诱惑) to skip the grocery shopping, avoid the kitchen, and tuck into (大口吃) something that someone else has prepared. But ordering a deep crust pizza, a spicy curry or a box of noodles, can come at a price both financially and to our health. Eating too much processed and unhealthy fast food has some effect on obesity and the risk of developing certain diseases. Children and adolescents who eat fast food at least three times a week are more likely to develop eczema, according to one study. Eczema is a skin condition that causes patches of itchy skin.
Of course, reducing salt, sugar and fat is one way to make takeaway food healthier. Yet, that's far from enough. The best advice you might want to take is to find a recipe book and try making your own meal.
