21、How to Stop Being Angry?
Anger is the most harmful emotion. When you are in a temper, you make rush or ill-considered decisions that you will probably regret. You will also regret terrible language spoken without thought. Anger arrives quickly, in response to an event, action, or wrong remarks.【1】You might feel long-burning anger that ruins your spirit, destroys all your good intentions, and causes you to become an unpleasant person. Here are some ways that you can help you better handle anger.
Firstly, you need to change your attitude to the way the world works. No one is perfect. Also, you need to accept that not everyone has the same standards as you, nor will they behave in the same way that you would in a given situation.【2】You have to accept that sometimes things do go wrong and that people are not always lovely.
【3】Martin Luther King was angry about the lack of civil rights in the USA. Gandhi was angry about British domination in. India. They both used that anger to motivate themselves to fight against what they saw as injustice. Taking action can help to reduce the feelings of anger as you see progress towards your final goal.
Try to get to the root cause of your anger.【4】Is it worry or stress making you angry? Are you fearful of failure? Are you unhappy? Once you know why you get mad, then it is possible to deal with the cause. Taking positive steps towards solving the underlying problem will help you overcome feelings of anger.
In conclusion, you must recognize that anger is something you can control. That control will come once you identify what is at the root of your anger. Make changes to your lifestyle and attitudes, and you will find that you will turn angry much less often, if at all. Angry people are not nice people.【5】
A．Anger can be used to fuel action.
B．By contrast, anger is slow to pass.
C．When doing this, be honest with yourself.
D．Anger is really a bad habit that is hard to break.
E．This applies to work, day-to-day life, and relationships.
F．When you lose temper, you may do more harm to yourself than good.
G．They will fail to achieve more often than those people who are calm and considerate.
22、Litter may be an environmental hazard and eyesore — but for some animals, it provides a home. In a study of local rivers, researchers at the University of Nottingham in the UK have found more invertebrates (无脊椎动物) like insects living on litter than on rocks in water.
The researchers studied three local rivers; the River Leen, Black Brook and Saffron Brook, in Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire. They collected samples (试样) of 50 rocks and 50 pieces of litter from the riverbeds at each site and took them back to the lab for comparison.
There they washed them individually to look for macroinvertebrates and then measured the surface area of each item. They found that the surfaces of the litter were inhabited (居住) by a more diverse group of invertebrates than those found on rocks.
Plastic, metal, fabric, and masonry samples of litter had the highest diversity of inhabitants, while glass and rock were much less diverse than other types of materials. Flexible plastic, like plastic bags, had the most diverse animal communities, causing the researchers to guess that the plastic might be similar to the structure of plants found in water.
“There were five species on litter. Some of these species are normally found on plants in water, which suggests that flexible plastic might be mistaken as those plants,” says lead author Hazel Wilson, a PhD student in the School of Geography at the University of Nottingham. “However, we need more investigation to work out for sure which characteristics of litter attract so many animals. This could help us discover methods and materials to replace the litter habitat with alternative and less damaging materials when we conduct river cleanups.”
“While these invertebrates have found a use for plastic bags and other trash, that obviously doesn’t mean that’s a good reason to leave litter in the environment. Our findings highlight the poor environmental quality in some rivers and point to the need for supporting better biodiversity,” says Wilson.
【1】What did the researchers do for their study?
A．They cleaned macroinvertebrates carefully.
B．They threw various types of litter into rivers.
C．They searched the samples for invertebrates.
D．They measured the surfaces of invertebrates.
【2】What is a finding of the study?
A．Litter is less attractive for invertebrates.
B．Litter can support greater biodiversity.
C．It’s easy for animals to survive in rivers.
D．Flexible materials are ignored by animals.
【3】What is Hazel Wilson’s attitude towards leaving litter in rivers?
A．Generally disapproving.
B．Particularly ambiguous.
C．Basically uncaring.
D．Totally positive.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Litter Turns Out Beneficial to the Environment
B．River Animals Need a Cleaner Home to Survive
C．River Cleanups Shouldn’t Include Litter Anymore
D．Litter Creates Habitat for Some Animals in Rivers
23、Throughout my childhood, I constantly dreamed of being an only child-having no one around to fight with, to share with, to grab the remote control away from me in the middle of a “big game.” But I have an elder sister, whom I have always called “Kicki,” instead of her real name Christie, because I used to have trouble pronouncing the “r” and “s”.
I started playing basketball in primary school. My dad was the coach of my team, and my mom kept score. So my sister, not old enough to stay home alone, was forced to come to all my games. I remember looking toward the stands for my mother’s approval and seeing my sister’s face, confused. It was obvious that she wasn’t excited, but she cheered along with the crowd anyway.
On the car ride home, my parents and I would relive the game. My sister sat in the back seat with me in silence, not knowing how or when to enter the conversation. Often, she would say, “Good game, Brad. ” I would smile and thank her but never took it seriously. She couldn’t possibly know whether I had played well or not.
It wasn’t until I reached high school that I realized how popular she was, and I was referred to as “Christie’s little brother. ” I played basketball in high school, and although Christie wasn’t forced to attend my games anymore, she still came to cheer me every week. In the last game of the last season, she came with a large group of friends. Printed on her shirt, in big bright red letters, were the words “BRAD’S SISTER. ” Suddenly I was embarrassed, not for her presence, but for my previous attitude to her praise.
Kicki left for college after that game. I finally have the remote control all to myself. However, watching TV alone has turned out to be boring. I went to visit her at college during a weekend, and as I stood outside her dorm, waiting for her to come out, a friend of hers whom I didn’t know walked past me and asked, “Hey, aren’t you Christie’s brother?” I smiled broadly and said proudly, “Yeah, I am. I’m Christie’s brother.”
【1】How did Brad feel about being an only child when he was young?
A．Boring.
B．Awesome.
C．Tough.
D．Awful.
【2】Why did Christie go to Brad’s games when he was in primary school?
A．She hoped to know more about Brad.
B．She was interested in basketball games.
C．She was too young to be left alone at home.
D．She wanted to spend more time with her family.
【3】Why did Brad feel embarrassed according to the last but one paragraph?
A．He treated Christie’s praise lightly before.
B．He forgot Christie’s presence at his last game.
C．He saw the big bright red letters on Christi’s shirt.
D．He received unwanted attention from Christie’s friends.
【4】What can be inferred about Christie?
A．She was proud of Brad.
B．She didn’t like watching TV.
C．She enjoyed Brad’s calling her Kicki.
D．She seldom went home during college.
24、 Violent winter weather sweeping across large parts of the central and southern US has brought record-breaking cold temperatures, leaving the electricity cut off and at least 21 deaths.
The worst power outages were in Texas, where more than 4 million homes and businesses remained without power on Tuesday in subfreezing temperatures. Elsewhere more than 250,000 people also lost power across parts of Appalachia, and 4 million people lost power in Mexico.
The blackouts forced Harris county to scramble(争夺)to get more than 8,000 doses of Moderna's coronavirus vaccine into people's arms, after the county public health facility lost power and its back-up generator also failed. The conditions also delayed vaccine shipments. State officials said Texas, due to receive more than 400,000 doses this week, did not expect deliveries until at least Wednesday.
Associating climate change, normally connected with burning heat, with an unusual winter storm that has destroyed a wide part of Texas, most people find it seem so abnormal. But scientists say there is evidence that the rapid heating of the Arctic can help push cold air from the north pole much further south, possibly to the US-Mexico border.
This phenomenon has shown itself to a dramatic degree over the past month, with a splitting of the polar vortex（涡旋)helping cause huge flurries of snow in Europe as well as record cold temperatures in parts of the US used to milder winters.
There is no agreement among scientists over the interaction between Arctic heat and cold weather further south, which is called as a topic of “an active area of research”. Global heating is causing warmer winters, and record cold temperatures are now being clearly outpaced by record hot temperatures, but the complex interaction of climatic conditions still requires further investigation, to the great surprise of some among others, including some famous scientists.
【1】What record has been broken recently in the US?
A．The power outage.
B．The cold weather.
C．Coronavirus vaccine.
D．Deaths in the blackouts.
【2】Why did vaccines become of vital importance in Harris county?
A．Vaccine shipments were disturbed by its state government.
B．More back-up generators should be set up to provide power.
C．Harris county had an argument with the Texas government.
D．The local health facility failed to work properly without power.
【3】What do the public think about the weather phenomenon in the central and southern US?
A．Unreasonable.
B．Undoubted.
C．Discouraging.
D．Predictable.
【4】What interaction of climates is focused on by scientists?
A．Milder winters and violent summers.
B．Arctic cold and Antarctic heat.
C．Global heating and violent cold weather.
D．Cold and heat in active areas
