21、 Every person plans to run off to some tropical isle, but few do. Real life, family, work, and monetary limitations get in the way. Ian Fleming let none of these considerations stop him.
After the war, Fleming set down his schedule. The first week of January saw him leave England and travel to Jamaica. The first week of March saw his return. He accepted his job at Kemsley newspapers without compromise — this portion of the year would be set aside for Jamaica or he would look elsewhere for employment.
For 6 years Fleming traveled each winter to Jamaica, lounging in paradise, romancing women, chasing the sunset, but it was not until he faced the pressure of a married woman who was pregnant with his child did Fleming start the writer’s journey which would change his life and popular culture forever. As Fleming waited in Jamaica for Anne’s divorce to become final, he wrote the first draft of a novel, Casino Royale.
Fleming’s career as a writer deserves more examination than can be offered here, but suffice it to say, over the next 12 years, Ian Fleming transformed his elite existence, his arrogance, his style, and his acid wit into some of the greatest thrillers ever written. Fleming incurred the respect of authors as diverse as Raymond Chandler, Kingsley Amis, and Edith Sitwell. His fans included John, Jackie, and Bobby Kennedy, and his social circle included Prime Minister Anthony Eden, Evelyn Waugh, and Somerset Maugham.
Fleming filled out the 12 years of Bond with great adventure journalism. Even in stories which had little action or pay off, such as his short non-fiction book, The Diamond Smugglers, the “Fleming-flair” ensured exciting reading. He wrote the “Atticus” column for the Sunday Times, proving a wonderful conduit for inside intelligence information, and clever rebukes(指责).
Regardless of book sales or family obligations, Fleming managed to live the life he wanted. As the years passed, his passion for golfing increased so he took more time with it. Fleming’s long-term fascination with America grew, so he traveled there more often.
Ian Fleming’s full life caught up with him through his heart. It may be that years of drinking and smoking took their toll, or that the butter-rich cooking Fleming loved was the culprit. Or maybe it was just genetics. Whatever the cause, Fleming’s health declined in the late 1950s. This plus anxieties in the marriage increased Fleming’s depression. With the success of Bond, the world came knocking at Fleming’s door, and he had a harder time shutting those out that he did not want in his life.
Nonetheless, Fleming fought the loosing battle of his weakening heart by throwing more fuel on the fire. He continued to drink and smoke, making some excuses but not many. He wrote books he wanted to read, and traveled the world with style and authority. By this time, Fleming had already earned his own fortune, created his own identity, and ruled his own literary empire.

22、Science tells us that global warming is a serious issue and we’re seeing its effects all around us—extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and endangered plant and animal species going extinct on a daily basis.【1】Here are some ways you can help with inducing global warming.
Use less water.
It takes a lot of energy to pump, heat, and treat your water.【2】You can make changes like taking shorter showers, turning off the tap when you’re brushing your teeth,and switching to water-deficient fixtures to reduce the amount of water you use. Reduce, reuse, and recycle as much as possible.
【3】Taking advantage of your local or city program to recycle trash like paper, plastic, and glass is one easy way to get started. Also, try to buy products with zero waste or eco-friendly packaging whenever you can, so you’re putting less trash in your bin every day. You can also donate items you don’t want instead of throwing them away.
【4】
You’ll be supporting your community and generating less pollution. One of the easiest ways to buy local is by visiting your local farmers markets for fresh produce. You can also buy items for your home, like furniture, from local craftsmen. Try to support local businesses as often as possible.
Talk to others about climate change.
Spread the word so other people can do their part to help. Climate change affects everyone! It’s a bit scary to think about sometimes,but global warming is impacting our daily lives more and more as years go by.【5】
A．Buy local whenever you can.
B．Tum off lights and unplug your devices.
C．Producing less trash every day can make a big difference.
D．You can make simple changes at home to make an impact.
E．You can cut the power to all of them with the press of a button!

23、Chemical farming is the most widespread way of farming. It is the conventional way in which large agricultural societies grow crops. 【1】 Organic farming, however, even though it may mean a greater cost of production and more work, has significant benefits on our health and the health of our planet.
Chemical farming has a negative impact on the environment. Pesticides are used to protect plants from various pests, diseases, and weeds. 【2】 Besides killing insects and weeds, pesticides can be poisonous to a great number of other organisms such as birds, fish, beneficial insects, and non-target plants. Another important issue is that the poisonous substances become airborne. They can drift away on distances up to a few miles, poisoning the air of nearby communities.
【3】 Studies have shown that pesticide remains can be found in a variety of products, such as water, wine, vegetables, fruit juices, or grains. When we eat or drink these products, our health is likely to be harmed.
Organic farming relies on natural processes, biodiversity, and man-made fertilizer rather than the use of chemicals. In opposition to the negative effects that conventional farming has on the environment and human health, organic farming is an agricultural production system that does good to the health of soils, ecosystems, and people. 【4】 Organically grown food is higher in nutrients and free of poisonous remains.
For the benefit of our health and our planet, we have to change our ways of farming. 【5】However, it is a better choice to build a better, healthier future for both our human communities and our environment.
A．Chemical farming does damage to our health in many ways.
B．The shift from chemical farming to organic farming may take time.
C．Organic farming has great potentials in agricultural in future farming.
D．However, pesticides can also pollute the soil, water, or other vegetation.
E．It has been practiced in many agricultural countries for many many years.
F．It may be the cheapest and easiest option but it surely isn’t the best choice.
G．It produces no environmental pollution and offers various benefits to health.
24、Winemakers in the Rioja area in northern Spain make some of the best wine in the world. But in recent years, winemakers there have been having difficulty producing good wine. They say when the temperature was cooler, the wine tasted better, but it was 2.2 degrees Celsius higher than average in 2022. Now, a genetic research has shown that grape vines living for more than 35 years are better able to deal with high temperatures brought by climate change.
Researchers like Pablo Carbonell think older grape vines may be able to grow better in higher temperatures. Carbonell looks at rows of gray shapes on his computer screen. Among them was a green rectangle, which represents a kind of grape vine that produces grapes that take longer to ripen,even in warmer conditions.A longer ripeness period is what winemakers want. The current vines produce grapes that are ready to pick too early. Such grapes do not make wine that has the right color and smell and has too much alcohol.
People who work in the vineyards have long crossed old vines with new ones. Now they are working with special laboratories to find a climate-resistant vine. One of them is the Vine and Wine Research Institute,known as the ICVV in Spain. The lab is working to keep the Spanish wine making industry alive as temperatures rise. The scientists there are studying the genomes(基因组)of commonly used grapes in wine and looking for traits，or qualities，that might permit the vines to survive in a warmer climate instead of looking for mutation(变异)that causes diseases.
In addition to the genetic research, scientists are also working on different planting methods.A winery called RODA is planting vines in a curve instead of a straight line. The hope is that plants will soak up more water this way. The new vineyard is made up of vines that were over 100 years old and moved from another place.
Maria Santolaya is an agricultural engineer and part of RODA’s technical team. She said the hot weather was very problematic. But,“our biggest concern,”she added,“is what will happen in 20 or 30 years. We don’t really know how things will come out.”
【1】What mainly causes the quality of wine to decline in Spain?
A．Shortage of rainfall.
B．High temperature.
C．Genetic variation.
D．Geographical location.
【2】What does the Carbonell’s research find in paragraph 2?
A．Grapes picked too early won’t have the sugar content.
B．Grapes with a longer ripeness period make good wine.
C．Grapes in hot regions won’t lose their original flavor.
D．Grapes from older vines have a rise in production.
【3】What is being done to keep the Spanish winemaking industry alive?
A．Make use of older grape vines.
B．Develop disease-resistant grape vines.
C．Replace old grape vines with new ones.
D．Cultivate grape vines with abundant water.
【4】What is Maria’s attitude to climate change?
A．Indifferent.
