21、 Venice is suffering the worst flooding the city has experienced in 50 years. The city is “on its knees” and Venetian Mayor Luigi Brugnaro tweeted as water submerged (淹没) much of the famous historical city.
While floods are a normal part of life in Venice, they have never happened with such frequency before. Experts say that climate change is likely to blame. 【1】 The Venetian council voted against a measure to fight climate change just a few moments before their chamber (会议厅) flooded.
Flooding is just one of the many impacts from climate change that is being experienced with more frequency and globally threatens many vulnerable (脆弱的) areas and regions. There is a threat that is not often considered. 【2】 Natural and man-made heritage sites throughout the world are in danger of being damaged or destroyed by climate change.
【3】 Some will be hit by flooding, like Venice, others by extreme weather events or rising temperatures. For instance, George Town, the capital of the Malaysian state Penang faces rising sea levels, landslides and more severe typhoons, while Yellowstone ecosystem in the western United States faces melting snows, more frequent wildfires and a changing ecosystem.
Changes in the ocean will have a profound impact on many of these sites. 【4】 And rising sea levels threaten to wash away many of the world’s great archaeological sites.
Experts say that the solutions to saving these sites will be varied, but many will be very expensive. 【5】
A．Different ways can be used to save these sites.
B．Climate change will impact these sites in different ways.
C．It is the damage from climate change to the world’s heritage.
D．But putting in place protective measures has proven difficult.
E．Warming water threatens to kill much of the coral in the Great Barrier Reef.
F．Many heritage sites on land are facing the great threat posed by global warming.
G．Therefore, they suggest that countries should work together to protect heritage sites.
22、Four of the best films to watch this May
The Bob’s Burgers Movie
After 12 seasons and more than 200 episodes, the much-loved animated sitcom finally makes it to the big screen. In the movie, a huge sinkhole opens in the street in front of a fast-food restaurant, so the brave children investigate. The series’ creator promises a “musical comedy mystery adventure” that retains the programme’s warmth and quickfire humour.
Released internationally on 27 May
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
The latest blockbuster (大片) has the Sorcerer Supreme risking beyond our own universe and into countless other realities, where he and Scarlet Witch meet various versions of themselves. The film’s director, Sam Raimi, is best known for The Evil Dead, and the Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire, so who better to put horror and superheroes into one film? Raimi told Fandango. “It’s unknown what you’ll find in the multiverse. It’s within that unknown that suspense and darkness exists... Plus, Doctor Strange in the comics has always dealt in universes and dimensions that were quite spooky, so we tried to bring some of that into this film.”
Released internationally on 6 May
Top Gun: Maverick
It’s been delayed and delayed and delayed again, but Top Gun: Maverick is flying into cinemas at last, exactly four years after shooting began in May 2018. In the first Top Gun film, which came out back in 1986, Tom Cruise starred as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a fighter pilot in the US Navy. What we can expect are lots of supersonic flight sequences, and magazine-worthy shots of Cruise on the runway in his Aviator shades. Altogether now: “I feel the need, the need for speed.”
Released internationally on 27 May
Firestarter
Firestarter, a horror film about psychic-powered children, is adapted from Stephen King’s 1980 novel. It’s the story of Charlene, a girl with “pyrokinesis”: whenever she gets upset, things burst into flames. The previous adaptation came out in 1984, with Drew Barrymore in the title role. But the new film’s director, Keith Thomas, believes that there was room for improvement.

23、 Art has always been a vital part of my life. When I was o ld enough to appreciate genuine fine art , my parents started bringing me to museums that housed works of the greatest artists in the world.
When my art teacher asked us to do a Cubist（立体派的)drawing, my first thought was that she was just joking. I didn't like Cubism. I thought to do so means making fun ofthe true artists I admired. Unwillingly, I began to find out items for my drawing, I carelessly drew the objects all from different view points. The pictures all looked like a mess of lines and shapes anyway, but I was more concerned with how many more minutes were in the period because I was hungry. Yet, the other part of me was growing quieter. I began to take my task seriously and darken specific lines. I stared at my drawing and determined which ones needed to be emphasized. I was soon shading certain shapes black and they brought out important figures. It must be absolutely perfect.
When I showed her my finished drawing, my teacher looked at me with her huge smile and simply stated, "You are a Cubist. " At that moment the world stopped moving. My cubist drawing was the best piece of art I had ever created, not because I had spent the most time on it but because I had felt it. I thought of how I produced it. Once I felt frustrated, trying to perfect my black lines. Another time I was delighted in breathing life into the drawing by adding color. All of these emotions showed themselves in my work, giving it life that none of my previous works had had. Cubism set me free, showing everything I knew, everything I was, and everything I wished I could be. I had found the missing link, and the world began to move again.

【3】What does the underlined part in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The enthusiasm of painting. B. The relationship with his teacher.
C. The method to do a Cubist drawing. D. The determination to be a Cubist.

A. Practice makes perfect. B. Attitude is everything.

24、People Who Can’t Count
A recent study has discovered that dyscalculia, the mathematical inability in reading, affects about 5% of children in Britain. There is no simple way of finding out the reason and kids with this learning disability are usually labelled unintelligent.
So what exactly is this learning disability in mathematics? Unlike most people, dyscalculics cannot recognise three or four objects. 【1】 For example, they need to count the books on the table before they can say how many there are. In other words, they have to count them one by one. This is where they are different from others. The majority of us, if shown three or four similar things, can immediately recognise them.
【2】 They cannot understand, for instance, why two and three makes five. Another problem is not being able to tell which group contains more objects than the other. Experiments have proved that dyscalculics have not developed the part of the brain responsible for processing numbers.
There are also problems with the abstract concept of time for dyscalculics. 【3】 If your best friend is always late, he might be suffering from dyscalculia. Dyscalculics cannot keep track of time, and they never know how much time they have spent getting ready and how long it will take them to get to work. In addition, research has shown that dyscalculics behave oddly in social situations.【4】 This poor ability can explain why they never know how much change they are due or what kind of budget they need for their holiday.
On the other hand, dyscalculics are very good at creative arts. People suffering from dyscalculia can become painters or poets. Dyscalculia does not seem to delay language acquisition. Dyscalculic children acquire language at the same time as, if not earlier than, most children and have no problem learning to read or write. 【5】
A．Dyscalculics have difficulties in using numbers at all.
B．This disability scares children away from learning mathematics.
C．They have to go through the routine of counting even a small number of objects.
D．It is quite reasonable for dyscalculics to solve this kind of specific problem at any time.
E．They never know how much they should tip the waiter or they’ve got left after a shopping trip.
F．We can see that dyscalculia is only a learning disability, not a general indication of intelligence.
G．This can account for their difficulty in reading schedules and remembering the order in which things have happened.

In the ICU, there are only two to three new admits every night so the first thing he will do is to __________ the parents who have been admitted the previous night. “Usually they needed a________ after a whole night. And I make sure they can go down for breakfast and I’ll stay with the __________ until they get back,” he said.
MaryBeth Brulette, the mother of baby Logan, has been at the hospital for six weeks. On a recent morning, she returned to the hospital to find Logan in Deutchman’s __________. Seeing this, she said, “All my __________ was gone.”
Elizabeth Mittiga, an ICU nurse at the hospital, said that the staff __________ Deutchman’s calming presence and appreciated Mr. Deutchman’s __________ to his cause. He’s a great help to babies in the ICU care. He’s just a really special person to us, as nurses, and the babies just adore him.
“Right now, I’m still going strong and enjoying it an awful lot,” he said. “So as long as they’ll have me, I’ll be there.” What an outstanding human being! Truly, Mr. Deutchman is the typical example of a __________ man with a sincere desire to make his life worthwhile by helping others.

26、阅读下面文章，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整短文，续写词数应为150左右。
My July vacation began with a scream. "Lora!” I woke, my eyelids snapping open. I realized that my four-year-old sister, Jenny, was staring at me. I struggled to push her away from me as she jumped on my legs. She screamed and then ran out of my room.
It was as if Jenny never did anything wrong. If Jenny got angry, Mom would say she was trying to get her point across. When Jenny broke a plate, Dad said she was just "helping" me empty the dishwasher. When Jenny scattered flour all over the floor, instead of scolding her, my parents laughed and said, "She's turning into a baker just like you, Lora.”
We were flying to Utah to visit my grandma for the third July. Every year I prepared gifts for her birthday, but I sighed as I considered what to prepare this time. When we walked off the plane, I was relieved to see the smiling face of my grandma. We raced over to her.
“Hi, sweet heart.” Grandma went down on one knee to hug Jenny and then swung her in the air. Jenny screamed with laughter. Then Grandma hugged me. "It's also good to see you, Lora.”
After six hours of flight, I had a little headache. I wanted to be alone, so I went outside to take a walk and search for a birthday gift. Wandering on the street, I happened to see a bakery. Suddenly, an idea occurred to me, “Why not make a birthday cake by myself?” I was so excited that I immediately ran into the bakery told the baker my purpose and he permitted me to make a cake by myself
I tried my best to make a perfect cake for my grandma's birthday. When I just finished, Mom called me for dinner. I went back home in a hurry and hid my cake in the bedroom. When I walked back into the room after dinner, my heart stopped. Jenny was lying on the bed, with a lot of cream on her face. Seeing me frozen in the doorway, she jumped from the bed. She ran over to me and said, “The cream is so delicious?"
“Out!” I screamed angrily, and she ran out of the room. I ran over to the cake and the pattern on the cake was destroyed just as I'd feared.
Paragraph 1:
Mom appeared in the doorway with Jenny by her side,.
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly, I came up with an idea to solve the cake problem and improve my relationship with my sister .
