21、 Just over a year ago I gave myself a challenge: give up spending on all but the essentials for a whole year. It hasn’t always been easy, but a year on I am wealthier and wiser. Embarrassingly, I have also realized just how much money I’ve wasted through mindless shopping and in the pubs and restaurants.
Free of any financial worries, I was spending without thinking. Stuck in a cycle of consumerism, I was struggling in vain to spend my way to happiness. Giving up spending for a year was an extreme approach, but I wanted to taste extreme frugality, shake up my spending patterns and overpay my mortgage instead of shopping. I could continue to pay my bills, including mortgages, broadband, phone bill, charity donations, life insurances, money to help my family and basic groceries.
It was not easy, especially in the first few months. There were lows, such as when I missed my favourite jazz concerts and hit films. There have also been some awkward moments when I’ve turned up to a friend’s house for dinner empty-handed. I did a lot of washing up at my friends’ houses in return this year.
I did find new ways to live, however. Using sites such as Eventbrite I have been to film screenings, wine tasting evenings and theatre productions for free. Living in London I have a wealth of free cultural activities on my doorstep and I’ve been to more art exhibitions this year than ever before. I even managed a free holiday, cycling the Suffolk and Norfolk coast and camping on beaches. It’s something I’d never done before and probably wouldn’t have, were it not for the challenge.
The last 12 months have taught me what things I really need. I can frankly say I’m happier now. I’ve gained confidence and skills, done things and met lovely people I wouldn’t have otherwise done or met.

22、 This season, the bushfires in Australia have burned more than 12.35 million acres of land. At least 25 people have been killed and 2000 homes destroyed. According to the BBC, this is the most casualties (伤亡) from wildfires in the country since 2009. The University of Sydney estimates that 480 million animals have died in South Wales alone.
Zeke Hausfather, an energy systems analyst and climate researcher at Berkeley Earth, said warmer temperatures and extreme weather have made Australia more susceptible to fires and increased the length of the fire season. “The drier conditions combined with record high temperatures in 2019 created main conditions for the disastrous fires. Australia’s fires were worsened by the combination of those two. 2019 was the perfect storm for being the warmest year on record for Australia and the driest year on record for Australia,” Hausfather added on Friday.
Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist at the US National Center for Atmospheric Research, said warmer ocean temperatures also contributed to more variable weather around the world. Trenberth believes that global warming contributed to energy imbalances and hot spots in the oceans, which can create a wave in the atmosphere that locks weather patterns in places, causing longer rain events in Indonesia, for example, and at the same time contributing to drought in Australia. He said that once an area experiences drought conditions for two months or more, it increases the risk of fires catching and spreading. Those changing weather patterns due to global warming make drought events longer.
Climate experts stress that climate change is not the only factor in the severity of wildfires. How land is managed can also impact the amount of fuel available for fires. Practices like controlled burns and other factors can impact the risk to people and property, such as warning systems and the type of development in a given area. Changing those policies has great potential to limit future damage from wildfires along with changes to how fire management resources are dispatched (派遣).
【1】What are the numbers about in Paragraph 1?
A.The causes of Australian fires. B.The results of Australian fires.

【2】Which of the following best explains “susceptible to” in the second paragraph?
A.Very quickly to adapt to. B.Very seriously to focus on.
C.Very easily to be protected against. D.Very likely to be influenced by.
【3】What can we infer from Trenberth’s research?
A.Warmer ocean temperatures promote fires spreading.
B.Longer dry weather contributes to global warming.
C.The imbalanced energy leads to the temperature rising.
D.Global warming is the root cause of the bushfires.
【4】What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A.To provide some advice about reducing damage.
B.To show the methods for controlling burns.
C.To predict the seriousness of Australian fires.
D.To stress the effects of Australian fires.
23、 Video games have been a popular pastime since the 1980s, and with an ever-expanding variety of genres (种类), artistic styles and storylines, it is no surprise that many still enjoy them.
Here are a few popular picks for you to try this summer. Take a look!
The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
Developed by Japanese video game company Nintendo, this action-adventure video game was released in 2017 with the launch of the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo’s newest video game console (电子游戏机).
Breath of the Wild is different from other games in the series because it is a sandbox game that rewards experimentation. It has won many awards, including Game of the Year at the 2018 Game Developers Choice Awards, and has sold over 19 million copies. It was listed as the best video game of the decade on the review website Metacritic.
The Outer Worlds
The Outer Worlds is a sci-fi role-playing game that was released in October last year. The game is set in a future world where mega-corporations (大型企业) control everything — even outer space. The Outer Worlds is unique because the choices you make in the game change how the story will end.
“From a story standpoint, every time we do a game, we’re just trying to get better,” Leonard Boyarsky, one of the game’s directors, said in an interview with PC Gamer. “You learn way more from failure than you do from success and we’ve had a lot of, uh, learning experiences.” The Outer Worlds has sold over two million copies and has won several awards for its memorable writing, humor, visual design and voice acting.
Minecraft
Even though Mojang Studios released it in 2011, Minecraft has maintained its position as the most well-liked video game. In fact, according to Mojang Studios, Minecraft had 126 million monthly users by May this year. “I had no idea it would get this popular,” Minecraft creator Markus Notch Persson admitted in an interview with London-based media company Den of Geek.
Minecraft is a sandbox video game, which means it is an open world with endless possibilities. It can be played on multiple platforms, and it even has its very own LEGO set. The world of Minecraft is made up of 3D blocks, a design that US entertainment website IGN described as “instantly memorable”.
【1】Which one is the most popular video game according to the article?

C.The Outer Worlds is set in a future world where the players control everything.
D.All the three games are extremely popular sandbox video games.
24、Visit Iceland
Best Time to Go
Travel between June and August tends to be most popular with visitors. June offers 24 hours of Arctic daylight, while July and August are the warmest months, offering the best chances for good weather. Travel between mid-September and mid-October is the most ideal, as you’ll avoid the high-season tourist traffic and have a solid chance of seeing the northern lights. Although winter weather can shorten your sightseeing, excellent deals can be scored during the off-season.
Transportation
Bargain airfare prices have undercut the major transatlantic(横越大西洋的)players, with Icelandair and Wow Air servicing Keflavík International Airport directly from dozens of major U. S. cities. Car rentals are the most convenient way to explore the island, although mountain roads and general off-roading should be left to experienced guides.
Weather
Travelers should pack for all four seasons no matter the time of year. Summertime can reach levels of T-shirt comfort, while many visitors are surprised to discover that winter temperatures may be milder than America’s northeast. But a beautiful day on the western coast of the island could mean damaging storms in the east. That’s why Icelanders are famous for saying, “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes.” Winds can transform the weather there more than a dozen times in a single day.
Know Before You Go
Iceland’s reputation as a budget-friendly destination is very much a thing of the past. Prices have gone up greatly—alcohol and food are particularly expensive. We recommend limiting the amount of time you spend in Reykjavík as it’s always crowded with tourists. Instead, explore the smaller towns and villages along Iceland’s coast.
【1】When is the best time to visit Iceland?
A．At the end of October.
B．At the beginning of June.
C．At the end of September.
D．In the middle of December.
【2】How are general tourists advised to travel in Iceland?
A．On foot.
B．By bike.
C．By air.
D．By car.
【3】What can be known about Iceland from the text?
A．Prices there are relatively low.
B．The weather there is quite changeable.
C．June to August are the warmest months there.
D．Coastal towns and villages are more popular than Reykjavík.
25、When I was a child, I always wanted to be a superhero. I wanted to ________ the world and then make everyone happy. But I knew that I’d need superpower to make my dreams come true. When I grew up and realized that science fiction was not a good source for ________, I decided to go on a journey of ________ science, to find a more useful truth.
I started my journey in California with a UCBerkeley 30-year study that examined the photos of students in some old yearbooks and tried to ________ their success and wellbeing throughout their life. I ________ a celebrity’s picture. When I first saw his picture, I thought that these superpowers came from his super collar. But now I know it was all in his ________.
Smiling stimulates our brain reward mechanism in a way that even chocolate—a well-regarded pleasure inducer—cannot ________. British researchers found that one smile can produce the same ________ of brain stimulation as up to 2,000 bars of chocolate. The same study found that smiling is as stimulating as ________ up to 16,000 pounds in cash. That’s like 25 thousand dollars a smile. It’s not bad.
And, unlike lots of chocolate, lots of smiling can actually make you________.
Smiling can help reduce the level of stress-enhancing hormones, increase the level of ________ hormones and reduce overall blood pressure.
So whenever you want to look great and competent, reduce your ________ or feel as if you just had a whole stack of high-quality chocolate—without worrying about the caloric ________—or as if you found 25 thousand dollars in a pocket of an old jacket you hadn’t ________ for ages, or whenever you want to tap into a superpower that will help you and everyone ________ you live a longer, healthier, happier life, smile.
