21、The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its sixth major report on the health of the planet on Monday, demonstrating “if Pacific Ocean temperatures continue to rise, bleaching will kill the remaining corals that make up Australia’s Great Barrier Reef ”.
Bleaching is the result of higher-than-normal ocean temperatures. Warmer water causes corals to release the sea-plants that feed them and make them colorful. They turn white and sicken, often dying very quickly.
The Great Barrier Reef, which is over 2,300 kilometers long is the largest living structure on Earth. It is home to thousands of kinds of fish and other animals. Giant clams, whales, dolphins and birds are among the others that depend on the reef to live.
Humanity also profits from the reef. Popular with visitors, who bring a lot of money to the area, the reef was the center of Tony Fontes’ 40 years career. The professional diver taught the sport and led dive rips to the reef. He compared the destruction from a bleaching event to that from a forest fire. “You just realize you’ve just swum across a reef that a couple weeks ago was full of life and vibrant and now a bushfire has gone through it and the coral is dead,” he said, adding, “and the rest of the marine life will just have to move on or die off.”
IPCC panelist Mark Howden, director of the climate school at Australian National University said conditions that scientists predicted for the future “ are appearing pretty much now. ” However, he mentioned the report offered ideas that can reduce pressure on the reef and help Australia reduce its negative impact on the environment. “Australians should be concerned about all the problems discussed in the report,” he said, “but, the IPCC also wrote about solutions to prevent worst-case circumstances in the future.”
【1】What makes the Great Barrier Reef suffer from bleaching?
A．Sick reef.
B．Emergence of sea-plants.
C．Warmer water.
D．More corals.
【2】What can we learn about the Great Barrier Reef from the passage?
A．Many ocean creatures rely on the reef to live.
B．It is the largest living structure in the universe.
C．A forest fire damaged the reef a few weeks ago.
D．It’s popular with visitors because it brings them money.
【3】Why did Tony Fontes mention bushfire in paragraph 4?
A．To show his strong dislike of the bleaching.
B．To describe the gradual process of the bleaching.
C．To express the destructive effect of the bleaching.
D．To voice the similarity between bushfire and bleaching.
【4】What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph?
A．The vital importance of the reef.

23、 Modern agriculture and its beauty to feed billions of people may be one of humanity’s greatest achievements. However, it comes with hidden costs. For example, have you ever considered how much water is needed to provide you with a steak or a salad? It may surprise you.
In a recent study published in the journal Nutrients, scientists from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Australia’s national science organization, took a close look at the diets of 9,341 adult Australians-specifically, their “water-scarcity footprints (水消耗足迹)”.
It turns out that a sweet tooth not only adds to our waistlines but also stresses our water resources.
The water-scarcity footprint is a widely recognized measurement of water consumption. First, it counts the liters of water you used. Then, it looks at the place where the water was used. Using a liter of water in the desert is not the same as using a liter of water in a tropical rainforest. The more scarce water is in your area, the larger your water-scarcity footprint.
The scientists found that the average Australian’s diet had a water-scarcity footprint of 362 liters per day. Snacks and beverages-cookies, cakes, sodas and alcohol-accounted for 25 percent of the water-scarcity footprint. The research also included a glass of wine (41 liters), a single serving of potato chips (23 liters), and a small bar of milk chocolate (21 liters).
Not surprisingly, cutting out snacks would be the top priority if you wanted to lower your own water-scarcity.
Earth’s surface is 70 percent water, but only 2.5 percent of that can be used for drinking or farming. While humanity faces an uphill battle to feed its growing population, climate change is causing droughts and extreme weather in agricultural centers like California and eastern Australia.
Cities aren’t safe, either. In 2018, Cape Town, South Africa, nearly ran out of water due to drought. Its freshwater reservoir (水库) stayed at just about 13.5 percent of full capacity.
By 2030, a world of about 8.6 billion people will need 35 percent more water, 40 percent more energy, and 50 percent more food, according to the United States National Intelligence Council.
So, we need to watch what we eat, not just for our personal health but for the health of our societies.
【1】What did the recent study from CSIRO find?
A.There are many hidden places like lacking water.
B.The foods we consume could cause our water-scarcity footprints to be bigger.
C.Climate change is the leading reason for larger water-scarcity footprints.
D.Eating sweets leads to a smaller water-scarcity footprint.
【2】What do we know about water-scarcity footprints?
A.They show how much a person affects their local water supply.
B.They change with a country’s population.
C.They count the amount of water a family wastes.
D.They are mainly used to measure how scarce water is in the desert.
【3】What can we infer from the last four paragraphs?
A.South Africa is the area with the worst water shortages.
B.We are facing a greater shortage of water than of food.
C.Our eating habits could make a difference to the problem of water shortage.
D.Water shortage may bring about many social problems.
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?
A.How to get rid of snacks
B.Why we should reduce water waste
C.The more water is, the bigger the water-scarcity footprints are
D.Water waste starts with snacks
24、Indiana might soon have wireless charging roads where drivers can charge their EVs (electric vehicles) while driving.
Two major obstacles when it comes to the popularity of EVs are its range and charging time. And while every year there is a considerable improvement in both the factors-the Indiana Department of Transportation decided to jet-speed the process and promote EVs by developing wireless charging roads.
Electrified charging coils (线圈) will be buried under the concrete roads that will create a magnetic (磁性的) field on the surface of the road. This technology is similar to the technology used for developing wireless charging stations for tablets and phones. Cars will be fitted with a receiver coil that will pick up the charge on the way and become magnetized, drawing electricity from the coil itself.
The project will start in late summer. It is given to Magment -- a German firm responsible for designing and installing the technology. A company spokesperson called this project “a step forward towards the future of dynamic wireless charging”, adding this will pave the way for affordable and sustainable transportation electrification.
Seeing the rising price of the copper wires, the firm decided to desert copper and go with recycled ferrite (铁氧体). This achieves up to 95％ of the efficiency at a standard cost of road-building installations. Given the cost savings, the project may start production soon after the two planned lab tests.
If successful, the Indiana model would represent the best in the field. While it will be the first such electrified charging road in the U. S. , Sweden has electric rails on some highways. These electric rails allow trains to charge by an electric arm on their undercarriage (底盘). Germany is not behind this trial of electric roads-and is building a structure of cables and wires that will allow cars to charge like city trams.
【1】Which factor may mainly discourage people from buying EVs according to the text?
A．Unaffordable price.
B．Wireless charging roads.
C．Limited driving distance.
D．Inconvenient charging stations.
【2】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．Why EVs need charging on the road.
B．What EVs and phones have in common.
C．Where electrified charging coils will be buried.
D．How cars will get charged wirelessly on the road.
【3】What can be inferred from the text?
A．The price of recycled ferrite is on the decline.
B．The project can increase the popularity of EVs.
C．EVs can charge on electric roads very soon.
D．Indiana is the first to have electrified charging roads.
【4】What is the author’s attitude to the project?
A．Objective.
B．Critical.
C．Supportive.
D．Indifferent.
