21、 You’re enjoying a quiet evening at home when suddenly your neighbor’s dog starts barking(吠叫)and doesn’t stop. Sure, dogs need to bark every now and then, but if the barking is getting in the way of your daily life, you need to do something.
“Before you take action, make records of when the dog is disturbing,” says expert Sharon Schweitzer. “Record the dates and time when the barking appears to find out the features of the barking. Check them carefully and get your facts straight. You might notice the barking only happens when the owners are at work, or during thunderstorms.”
After two to three weeks, visit your neighbors with the facts. “Since you’re trying to keep a good relationship, you can’t go when you’re angry and frustrated,” says Schweitzer. Plus, your neighbors might not even realize the barking is a problem, for the worst noise may happen when they’re gone.
Explain the time when the barking gets bad, then suggest a way to solve the problem. “You can sit and complain all day, but that will go nowhere,” says Schweitzer. Ask if the dog can stay inside during the storm, or suggest a dog training class. Be open to compromise(妥协)because the owners might have other ideas about how to deal with the noise.
Befriending the dog could help. Have your neighbors introduce you to their dogs. “If they become more comfortable in your presence, they’re less likely to bark when they see you or when they’re in the backyard,”says Schweitzer. You might even be able to use commands such as “quiet” once the dog trusts you.
Avoid gossiping(说长道短)with other neighbors about the dog.“That’s when things escalate.” After all, most people will want to solve the problem.
【1】What can you do first when the barking of your neighbor’s dog influences your life?
A.Bring the dog to a training class.
B.Show it to your neighborhoods.
C.Drive it out of your neighborhood.
D.Record the dates and time of the barking.
【2】Why are your neighbors less likely to realize the barking problem?
A.They may like the barking.
B.They all think their dogs are friendly.
C.They have been used to the barking of the dogs.
D.They may be out when the worst barking happens.
【3】What does the underlined word “escalate” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Become better.
B.Become worse.
C.Remain unchanged.
D.Become more personal.
【4】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Love me, love my dog.
B.Barking dogs seldom bite.
C.Good communication is a must.
D.Treat violence with violence(暴力).
22、With greater climate catastrophe (气候突变) on Earth, it is natural for us to make every effort to stop the potential floods, snowstorms, and alarming reports from scientists. For many of us (myself included), part of that means running out to buy reusable straws, organic cleaners, and packaging-free products.
However, before you are delighted at “green” purchases, take a second to consider the results of a new study from Arizona University. By comparing the shopping habits, mental health and environmental impact of young people, the researchers reconfirmed a principle: Buying less beats buying “green” stuff without effort. And that is true whether you are looking at the impact that your purchases have on the Earth or on your own happiness.
It should not come as a shock that simply consuming less is better for the planet. After all, every new item a factory yields requires some resources to produce. Take plastic bag bans for instance. If your city is getting rid of single-use shopping bags, it can be attractive to pay for a fashionable organic cotton bag hanging in the check-out line of your local supermarket. However, experts insist that growing cotton is actually no better for the Earth than producing the conventional plastic bags. Then what is your best bet for carrying your groceries if you care about sustainability? Any bag you already own.
It is not just the Earth that will be happier if you buy less. You will feel more contented too, according to the new study. “People believe that they might well be self-satisfied about becoming environmentally conscious through ‘green’ buying patterns, but it doesn’t seem to be that way”, said the lead researcher Sabrina Helm. “Reduced consumption has effects on increased well-being, but we don’t see that with ‘green’ consumption.”
“Owning every new ‘green’ product on the market might make you feel contented, but if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better,” said Helm.
【1】Why does the writer mention “green” shopping habits?
A.To call on a green lifestyle.
B.To praise people’s green efforts.
C.To introduce a social trend.
D.To present a half true “green” truth.
【2】What’s the main idea of paragraph 3?
A.The plastic bag bans are of no effect.
B.Using any bag you have is the best bet.
C.Reduced consumption is better for the Earth.
D.Growing cotton is far worse for the Earth.
【3】What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The sense of achievement.
B.The sense of happiness.
C.The sense of relief.
D.The sense of security.
【4】What might be the best title for the text?
A.Less is More
B.The Greener, The Happier
C.Happiness Guarantee
D.What Are Green Products?
23、Do you get nervous thinking about geometry (几何), equations or a coming math test? 【1】 Math anxiety has become a common psychological condition among students around the world.
In ordinary life, many people experience some degree of discomfort when confronted with a math problem . 【2】 It is really common among students, especially senior students.
【3】 They are likely to have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms. Then they may try to avoid every situation involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject, such as science, technology or engineering.
But the fact is that those with math anxiety aren’t meant to be bad at math. If a child has math anxiety, it doesn’t mean that they’re not good at math. They may have had a bad experience with math. And there are ways to improve math achievement. 【4】
Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. 【5】 Just like many people get stressed before delivering a speech, this nervous energy can help to motivate.
A.If yes, you are totally right.
B.If yes, you are far from alone.
C.It ranges from mild tension to strong fear.
D.And a little anxiety maybe a positive challenge.
E.Some people also experience physical symptoms.
F.Students with math anxiety can also get good grades.
G.Higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve higher math grades.
24、 Australia’s Great Barrier Reef has lost 50% of its corals (珊瑚) within 30 years, with climate change a key driver of reef disturbance, a new study has found.
Researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, in Queensland, northeastern Australia, studied coral communities and their size along the length of the Great Barrier Reef between 1995 and 2017, finding all coral populations disappear gradually, they said.
Reefs are important to the health of ocean ecosystems — without them, ecosystems break down and ocean life dies.
Coral population decreases happened in both shallow and deep water coral species, experts found, but branching and table-shaped corals — which provide habitats for fish — were worst affected by mass bleaching (漂白) events in 2016.
Warm ocean temperatures are the main reason of coral bleaching. Bleaching doesn’t kill coral immediately, but if temperatures remain high, eventually the coral will die, destroying a natural habitat for many species of ocean life.
“We used to think the Great Barrier Reef is protected by its huge size — but in fact our results show that even the world’s largest and relatively well-protected reef system is increasingly destroyed and in decline,” Terry Hughes, an outstanding professor at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, said.
“There is no time to lose — we must sharply decrease greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible,” the reporter warned in the paper, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society journal.
【1】What has mainly influenced the coral populations of the Great Barrier Reef ?
A.Destroyed habitats.
B.Climate change.
C.Lack of seafood.
D.Bleaching events.
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Many species has been dying out slowly.
B.The size of reefs contributes to their protection.
C.Ocean ecosystems don’t develop without reefs.
D.Bleaching continually disturbs table-shaped corals.
【3】What attitude does the reporter hold to the present situation of the Great Barrier Reef?
A.Worried.
B.Angry.
C.Hopeful.
D.Surprised.
【4】What is probably the best title for the passage?
A.Climate change damages the Great Barrier Reef
B.The Species of ocean Life Are In Danger
C.Greenhouse Gas Emissions Get Worse
D.Sea Ecosystems Are In Decline
