21、 The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report stating that the world is quickly running out of time to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. To get there, the world would have to cut current emissions by 45 percent by 2030.That sounds absurdly unlikely.
But before we give in to hopelessness，we should remember that the technology to deal with climate change is going along at high speed. The largest source of U. S. carbon emissions is transportation，and a Green New Deal for motor vehicles would be quite straightforward. The reason is simple：with some government subsidies (补贴), electric cars and buses are now cost-competitive with fossil-fuel vehicles. Electric buses have made the greatest speed into the market, because they are a logical choice for electrification. By the end of 2018, electric vehicles were replacing about 280,000 barrels of oil demand per day — about 84 percent of which was mainly consumed by buses.
The electric car market is also reaching maturity, with appealing designs, longer range, and a quickly-expanding rapid charging network in many countries. It’s worth emphasizing that most of the infrastructure (基础设施) necessary to recharge electric vehicles already exists. People often tend to think that we need to replace every gas station, but actually all homes and businesses already have an electrical connection which can be easily improved for fast charging. All that is needed to go fully electric is enough battery capacity and fast charging stations to deal with long trips.
Now America would have to repair its electricity production, freight rail, shipping, and so on to fully decarbonizes (脱碳) the transportation sector, which will be considerably more difficult than simply rooting out fossil fuel vehicles from the market.
But greening America’s vehicle would be straightforward, relatively cheap, and a huge step forward on climate. The politics of climate change are so fearful that being hopeless can seem logical, but the first step to achieving a tough goal is the confident belief that it can be done. And this particular step wouldn’t even be that tough.
【1】How’s the goal of keeping global warming below 1.5 Celsius according to Paragraph 1?
A.Reasonable. B.Safe.
C.Realistic. D.Impossible.
【2】Compared with fossil-fuel vehicles, electric vehicles now ______.
A.are cost-competitive with government subsidies
B.run at a greater speed on the road
C.deal with longer trips
D.look more appealing
【3】What should we do to promote electric cars now?
A.Replace as many as gas stations.
B.Build more infrastructures for recharging.
C.Make businesses have electrical connections.
D.Solve the problem of long trips.
【4】According to the passage, what is the author’s attitude to electric vehicles?
A.Negative. B.Supportive.
C.Uncertain. D.Indifferent.
22、 As a famous doctor, Sigmund Freud has problems telling his left from his right. He writes in his diary: I do not know whether it is obvious to other people which is their own or other’s right or left. In my case, I have to think which is my right and no organic feeling tells me. To make sure which is my right hand, I have to make a few writing movements quickly.
Neuroscientist Eric Chudler at the University of Washington referred to a recent study where 71 of 364 (19.5 percent) college professors and 311 of 1,185 (26.2 percent) college students said that they occasionally, frequently or all of the time had difficulty when they had to quickly identify right from left. Chudler told The Washington Post that 95 percent of the 3,719 people who tried his test reported more difficulty with left/right than with up/down.
In most cases, left/right confusion is rarely a big deal. But knowing your directions obviously can be critical if you’re a surgeon or a pilot. That’s why in key situations, there are plans in place to minimize（使减到最少）the chance of problems. In a health care situation, someone may write “not this leg” on a limb（肢）, for example. And in the air, because distractions（分心）can cause any number of errors, pilots must avoid all non—essential conversation during the critical phases of flight.
Experts say that right/left confusion doesn’t mean you’re not smart. But scientists aren’t totally sure what causes the right/left confusion. There does, however, seem to be a link between right/left confusion and brain lateralization（偏侧性）—the fact that the right and left halves of the brain each control unique functions.
There may, however, be an association with gender（性别）. Several studies have found that women are more likely than men to say they are sometimes unable to distinguish between their right and their left. But some researchers say that’s only because women are more likely than men to admit they may have a problem.
【1】According to Sigruund Freud’s diary, he .
A.can’t tell the right directly
B.doesn’t know which is his right hand
C.is more foolish than other people
D.isn’t satisfied with his organic feeling
【2】Eric Chudler mentions the numbers in Paragraph 2 to tell us that .
A.it is easy to tell up from down
B.left/right is as important as up/down
C.many people have trouble with left/right
D.most people can judge left/right easily
【3】Which of the following may be the important moment of flight according to the text?
A.When the plane is taking off.
B.When the plane is coming down.
C.When the pilot is talking with others.
D.When the pilot is judging the directions.
【4】Where can you probably read the text?
A.In a private diary. B.In a science fiction.
C.In a latest newspaper. D.In a fashion magazine.
23、 London Fashion Week will not feature any animal fur clothes or accessories(配饰) on the runway this year, making it the first fur-free major fashion week.
In a statement, the BFC said: "The BFC survey results reflect a cultural change not only based on ideals and choices made by designer businesses, international brands as well as consumer feeling but also encouraged by the attitude of multi-brand stores who are moving away from selling fur.”
There is increasing pressure from anti-fur protesters(抗议者) to ban fur or boycott designers that use the material. During last year's London Fashion Week, there were 250 anti-fur protesters, The Guardian reported, and a show in February saw an activist storm the stage at a Mary Katrantzou show. Following the incident, Mary Katrantzou's team made a statement insisting that the collection was animal fur-free and “only man-made fur was used.”
Ahead of this year's fashion week, set to take place from September 14 to 18, an open letter written by singer Paloma Faith and published by Peta also called for a ban of animal fur.
The letter read: “The BFC shouldn't be approving a material whose production is considered so cruel that it is outlawed in the UK. With the vast number of cutting- edge, eco-friendly man-made furs available on the market today, I'm sure you'll agree that there's no longer any excuse for killing animals for their fur.”
London Fashion Week's fur-free runway follows a similar policy recently adopted by Burberry Design to end the use of fur including rabbit, fox, mink, racoon, and angora wool, as is confirmed by Burberry CEO Marco Gobbetti in an interview with Business of Fashion.
The BFC's news has been met with support from people on social media, who have applauded the designers choosing to give up the use of animal fur.
“I am so excited that fur has been banned from London Fashion Week! Progress!” Faith wrote on Twitter.
Another said: “London Fashion Week is ditching fur and leading the way towards a fur-free future in fashion.”
【1】Why are examples of last year's London Fashion show and Mary Katrantzou show in February are given in paragraph 3?
A.To compare the two fashion shows.
B.To prove Mary Katrantzou was wronged.
C.To show pressure from anti-fur protesters.
D.To indicate the popularity of London Fashion Show.
【2】Why does Paloma Faith think there is no excuse for killing animals for their fur?
A.It is expensive to kill animals for fur.
B.BFC has banned the use of animal fur.
C.Production of animal fur is illegal in the world.
D.Good Man-made furs are available on the market.
【3】What's the ordinary people's attitude towards the first fur-free major fashion week ?
A.Critical. B.Ambiguous.
C.Favorable. D.Indifferent.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.The BFC reports a cultural change in fashion.
B.London Fashion Week will be fur free this year.
C.Famous singer writes open letter to ban animal fur.
D.Animal fur is sure to be replaced by man-made fur.
24、Many people find when they are overly familiar with their routines, their excitement will be replaced with boredom quickly. A study shows that finding unusual ways to interact with familiar people, places and things can make everyday experiences feel exciting.【1】. Need some fresh ideas for keeping life fresh? Read on.
While you are working
Spending too much time in the same environment can keep us from achieving “flow”— being immersed in an activity with full energy and enjoyment.【2】. Move your home office to the library or a coffee shop a few days a week. If you are charged with leading a Monday meeting, try starting it with meditation or a non-work discussion.
【3】
“Boredom is an emotional state and happens when couples stop taking the opportunity to grow and deeply connect with each other,” says Venus Nicolino, host of Reality Stars. Look for new challenges to take on together. Try mixing up different sets of friends to do something creative, such as a group cooking lesson, or an old-fashioned tea party.
With other people we care about
Instead of “How was your day”, try asking “What are you looking forward to today?” Our curiosity can remind people that we’re interested in who they are, and that’s the key to maintaining intimacy (亲密关系).【4】.
During your commute
If you walk or use public transportation, greet a stranger or put away your phone and do some people watching. “Simply observing one’s surroundings may seem boring.【5】,” says Tim Lomas, a lecturer at the University of East London. Just remember, whatever you do to relieve boredom today, try something different tomorrow.
A．With your significant other
B．With people you are familiar with
C．Changes don’t have to be big to make an impact
D．Interacting with other people often brings you much fun
E．In other words, sometimes you’ve just got to shake things up
F．Sometimes being curious about others can make us more pleasant to be around too
G．However, if done mindfully, it can become interesting and even more meaningful
25、 President Obama’s second Inaugural Address used soaring language to stress America’s commitment to the dream of equality of opportunity: ‘We are true to our belief that a little girl born into _______ knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American’.
The gap between ideal and reality could hardly be _______ . Today, the United States has less equality of opportunity than almost any other advanced industrial country. Study after study has _______ the myth that America is a land of opportunity. A way of looking at equality of opportunity is to as to what extent the life chances of a child are _______ the education and income of his parents. Is it just as likely that a child of poor or poorly educated parents gets a good education and rises to the middle class as someone born to middle-class parents with college degrees? Even in a more democratic society. the answer would be no.
How do we explain this? Some of it has to do with discrimination （歧视）. Latinos and African-Americans still get paid less than whites, and women still get paid less than men, _______ they recently surpassed （超越）men in the number of advanced degrees they obtain. Discrimination, however, is only a small part of the _______. Probably the most important reason for _______ of equality of opportunity is education. After World WarⅡ, we made a major effort to _______ higher education to Americans across the country. But then we changed, in several ways. While racial segregation（种族隔离）decreased, economic segregation increased. After 1980, the poor grew poorer, the middle stagnated（停滞不前）, and the top did better and better. A result was a widening gap in educational performance – the _______ gap between rich and poor kids born in 2001 was 30 to 40 percent larger than it was for those born 25 years earlier, a Stanford sociologist found. Of course, there are other forces ______ . Children in rich families get more exposure to reading. Their families can afford enriching experiences like music lessons and summer camp. They get better nutrition and health care, which enhance their learning, directly and indirectly.
Now Americans are coming to realize that without extensive policy changes, their long cherished belief is only a myth. It is unreasonable that a rich country like the United States has made _______ to higher education so difficult for those at the bottom and middle. There are many _______ ways of providing chances for more to receive higher education, from Australia’s income-contingent loan program to the near-free system of universities in Europe. A more educated population produces greater innovation, and a booming economy. Those benefits are why we’ve long been ______ to free public education through 12th grade. But while a 12th-grade education might have been enough a century ago, it isn’t today. Yet we haven’t _______ our system to contemporary realities.
The steps I’ve outlined are not just affordable but necessary. Even more important, though, is that we cannot afford to let our country drift farther from _______ that the vast majority of Americans share. We will never fully succeed in achieving Mr. Obama’s vision of a poor girl’s having exactly the same opportunities as a wealthy girl. But we could do much, much better, and must not rest until we do.

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。
Several years ago I had loaned a girl I was seeing some cash as she needed some work done to her car. We eventually split up but remained friends. About a month after the split she sent me a card thanking me for helping out and repaid me, which I had never expected from her. The $250 she gave me was nice to have, but honestly was not needed, nor did I expect her to repay me.
About a week after I had been given this cash, I went on a late night food run at Denny’s with a friend, where I encountered a homeless man who was taking shelter from the less than pleasant weather we were having at the time. The homeless man who was sitting at a table next to us was told by the waitress that he couldn’t be there if he didn’t order anything. I overheard him ask how much a cup of coffee was, counted the few dollars he had in his pocket, and a little reluctantly (不情愿) ordered coffee so he could stay inside.
As I heard all of this, and thinking of the cash I had just received but didn’t need, I felt this might be someone I could help. So I engaged the man in some conversation, because I know most people who are homeless don’t get the benefit of casual conversation very often. I learned he was aged 45 and had previously worked as a tree trimmer (修剪工). Unfortunately about a year prior he fell while working and badly hurt his back and was no longer able to work until he got his back medically dealt with. After about 10 — 15 minutes of conversation I told him that if he felt comfortable accepting my offer, I would buy him whatever food off the menu he wanted. He resisted because he didn’t want to trouble me and put me out of money. I insisted he accept my offer because everyone deserves a warm meal. He eventually accepted and ordered something simple.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After paying the bills for the food, I pulled the $250 cash out of my wallet and folded it into my pocket.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The homeless man started tearing up and insisted he get my address or phone number so he could repay me some day.
