21、You plan and hope, keeping a close eye on the forecast. Even so, the vacation you expect gets ruined by the bad weather. I’m pretty sure that everyone has their story of the plans messed up by weather forecasts. 【1】Why is it that even with all the technological wonders in the world, it’s still a challenge to predict the weather?
【2】A lot of data from different sources, like satellites, are accumulated and analyzed. Powerful computers use this data to make predictions. The idea of using numerical analysis to predict the weather originated in the 1920s with Lewis Fry Richardson’s writings. Later, with the help of supercomputers, this became a more practical approach.
Weather forecasts often go wrong, but not quite as often as you might think. We tend to focus mostly on what goes wrong, so it feels like the forecasts are always inaccurate. A five-day forecast is actually pretty accurate — 【3】For a seven-day forecast, the numbers go down to about 80%. But add more days and the uncertainty necessarily builds. These numbers are also much better than what they used to be. 【4】
To determine the state of the atmosphere at any point, and therefore make a forecast, several different changes must be taken into account. 【5】The changes are used as initial conditions that can be fed into mathematical models. The models are designed based on patterns in historical data and the typical behavior of weather. Advancements in data collection and the processing power of computers also help explain why forecasts today have improved so dramatically.
A．You can trust the forecast at your own risk.
B．Why are our weather forecasts so inaccurate?
C．The forecasts are right about 90% of the time.
D．Weather forecasting is a complicated process.
E．These deal with wind, temperature, pressure, and others.
F．A five-day forecast today is as accurate as a one-day forecast in 1980.
G．There are many changes involved in describing the state of the atmosphere.
22、Cat behaviors can vary enormously from one cat to another. They are certainly interesting creatures with many cute and sometimes strange habits that often have us wondering.【1】
Why do cats like high places? Wild cats were hunters, and frequenting high places meant they had somewhere safe to view their territory, watch for danger, and attack prey.【2】Our domesticated cats also enjoy watching the world from above, which provides them with a safe, calm place away from the activity in a house.
【3】Both wild and domestic cats are drawn to hiding and sleeping in contained areas. At home, it is often the humble cardboard box. Cats are predators, and a box offers a perfect place to hide while waiting for prey and also to pounce from, as only one entrance exists.
Why does my cat give “gifts”? Cats are well known for leaving us gifts that we may not want, such as lizards or mice.【4】Showing off their catch to you means you are a part of their family and they want to show you their hunting skills.【5】Be sure to offer your cat a variety of toys to help them satisfy these natural hunting instincts.
A．Why do cats sit in boxes?
B．Cats are predators and will hunt if allowed outdoors.
C．Why do cats like playing with boxes?
D．This appears to be embedded into their DNA.
E．Don’t express anger, as they will not understand.
F．A cat’s natural behavior is to withdraw and hide in stress situation.
G．Veterinarian Dr Katrina Warren provides answers to your questions about cat behaviors.
23、With researchers suggesting that sitting is the new smoking, sit-stand desks (SSD) have become a common tool to interrupt long sitting in an office or classroom environment. As this furniture becomes popular, conflicting opinions have arisen on whether they can work as successfully as they are intended. Dr. April Chambers from the University of Pittsburgh worked with teammates to gather data from 3 studies and published a review article listing present information on the benefits of SSDs.
“There has been a great deal of scientific research about sit-stand desks in the past few years, but we have only scratched the surface of this topic,” said Chambers. I want to gather what we’ve known so far to figure out how we can use these desks to better benefit people in the workplace.
This work was done with Dr. Nancy A. Baker from Tufts University. The review examines the effects of a sit-stand desk in the following aspects: behavior, physiological(生理的), work performance, psychological, discomfort, and posture. Their work showed that using an SSD effectively got participants to sit less and stand more and that the device made users more comfortable at work. However, many frustrations (沮丧) with SSDs came from the physiological outcomes. According to the review, physiological effects were the most studied, but there were no significant results with regards to fatness.
There are many considerations about using an SSD most effectively, such as desk height, monitor height, and the amount of time to stand. Chambers believes that the overall arrangement of the workplace or study place and the amount of work are two factors that should be further studied.
Chambers noted that present research is limited because many of the studies were done with young and healthy subjects who were asked to use the desk for a week or a month at most. Since some of the significant benefits are with heart health or muscle discomfort, it may be beneficial to perform additional studies with middle-aged or overweight workers.
【1】The arguments about SSDs mainly lie in .
A．their side effects
B．their popularity
C．their practical results
D．their original intentions
【2】Why did Chambers publish the article?
A．To call on people to stand more.
B．To suggest ways to better use SSDs.
C．To contradict the existing opinions.
D．To find out the drawbacks of SSDs.
【3】What’s the researchers’ attitude to SSDs’ physiological result?
A．Disappointed.
B．Content.
C．Positive.
D．Indifferent.
【4】What needs to be further examined according to Chambers?
A．The height of the desk and the monitor.
B．The time people spend in standing.
C．Behavior and psychological aspects.
D．A broader range of the participants.
24、What are the foods that you can only taste in memories? Your mother’s biscuits? The mud (泥) pies you made as a child? And what are the recipes that bring those memories to mind?
This morning, for the first time in more than a year, I made Dutch Babies. From scratch. And I didn’t burn them. Yes, I’m the kind of cook who’s always amazed to pull anything out of the oven that isn’t burnt. But sometimes, I get lucky.
What are Dutch Babies? Picture a cross between a pancake and an omelet (煎蛋饼) that tastes better than both. They’re easy to make, and you can make a lot of servings (一份食物) in one pan (平底锅) at the same time.
Making Dutch Babies brings to my mind some of the happiest memories of my life. I was given the recipe by a dear friend Sally, a cook who knew a great dish when she tasted it.
I’ve made Dutch Babies a few thousand times for sleepovers (夜宿的客人) and houseguests and Sunday suppers. They were always a hit, even if I burned them.
After my kids grew up, I didn’t cook much for years, except for holidays or other big occasions. But if I had a full house, I’d make Dutch Babies for breakfast.
I can’t recall the last time I made Dutch Babies, before today. I know it was more than a year ago, before life as we knew it was shut down for COVID-19, and we stopped having guests.
So why did I make them this morning for only my husband and me? It’s been a hard year for all of us, filled with things we couldn’t do. I was hungry to celebrate being alive.
I mixed up the ingredients and stuck it in the oven. While it baked, I thought of all the family and friends I’ve baked it for over the years.
Good food can feed a hungry crowd. But if it’s made with love and seasoned with memories, it can fill a soul with hope of better days to come. Add your own memories. And say thanks to my friend Sally.
【1】The questions asked in the first paragraph are used to ________.
A．explain the connection between food and memory
B．express the author’s concern about food safety
C．introduce the topic to be discussed
D．remind readers of something delicious
【2】What do paragraphs 4 to 6 mainly talk about?
A．The author’s tips on how to make Dutch Babies.
B．The author’s memories of making Dutch Babies.
C．Why Dutch Babies were welcomed at the author’s home.
D．The author’s family tradition of eating Dutch Babies.
【3】Why did the author make Dutch Babies again after more than a year?
A．To welcome guests from afar.
B．To please her husband.
C．To thank her friend Sally.
D．To show her gratitude for being alive.
【4】What does the author want to tell us from this article?
A．Food tastes better when it is shared.
B．Food made with love can feed the soul.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was a child, I lived in a house with a beautiful garden full of different flowers, and roses were the most beautiful of them. There was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting in the garden with my mother, reading stories to me. When I was in primary school and old enough to read, I enjoyed reading stories aloud to her.
I will never forget one day when I had been picked to be the princess in the school play. For weeks my mother had practised my lines so hard with me. But however easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s (叙述者) part to the play, and asked me to change my role. Her word, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.
It was May and roses were blossoming and, under the trees, we could also see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass, as if a painter had painted our garden with red, yellow and green. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion.
“I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful — even dandelions.”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower is beautiful in its own way, isn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over.
“And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.”
Realizing that she had guessed my pain, I started crying as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled reassuringly.
