21、 Children at a hospital in Vienna recently enjoyed a wonderful surprise right outside their windows. Famous superheroes scaled (攀登) the building, arriving at the children’s windows to deliver warm hellos and smiles along with some impressive superhero muscle flexing.
It was a gift of love delivered from caped heroes on the outside to those young and isolated “heroes” who are inside hospital rooms. This special event happened at the St. Anna hospital on Monday, February 15 to coincide with International Childhood Cancer Day, according to The Jerusalem Post.
Members of WEGA, Austria’s special police force, dressed up as five much loved superheroes for the occasion, putting their strength, athleticism, and kindness into this most giving act. Superman, Batman, Thor, Iron Man, and Spider-Man joined forces outside the hospital for a most special team mission. They rappelled (绕绳下降) down from the roof in true superhero style, and stopped at each child’s window, surprising each patient, bringing laughter, and a thrill.
Many of the children behind those windows are seriously ill and have little interaction with the outside world, especially during times of lockdown. Receiving a special visit from a superhero can encourage a child’s imagination and offer incredible excitement and delight. It adds a depth of fun and playfulness to their world and can help them to dream big.
Below the hospital windows, a brass band played the classic superhero tunes, while other patients and nurses gathered outside to witness the scene. After the superheroes touched ground, there was time for some photos outside with the dynamic superheroes.
On this very important mission to fight loneliness, these caped superheroes offered incredible emotional support. Along with tears of joy, the event received much attention around the world, building more awareness of cancer care for children and teens.
As Spider-Man author Stan Lee wrote, “With great power comes great responsibility.” This famous Peter Parker principle was made on a cold winter day in Vienna, warming hearts around the world.
【1】What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A．The reaction of the children.
B．Some details of the mission.
C．Some types of superheroes.
D．The police forces attending the mission.
【2】Which of the following can best describe the mission?
A．Puzzling.
B．Frightening.
C．Complex.
D．Meaningful.
【3】What did the mission result in?
A．Positive social influence on cancer care.
B．More awareness of heroes’ responsibility.
C．Better medical treatment for the children.
D．More demand for superheroes’ visits.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Superheroes Offer Joy and Hope to Kids in Hospital
B．Members of Police Force Dressed Up as Superheroes
C．Policemen Dressed Up as Superheroes to Deliver Gifts
D．Sick Children Need More Interaction with the World
22、Why Do Brides Wear White
In many societies the color white has been associated with purity and virtue, and that is one reason why some brides choose to wear white, especially in the West. Usually, you will hear that brides wear white because “it’s a tradition”. But, historically, white was not the only color considered for wedding dresses. 【1】
For many centuries in Western societies, wedding dresses had different colors. 【2】 Brides tended to buy a wedding dress that could be worn again, or they simply wore the best dress they already owned. And white is not practical: it is difficult to keep clean and is therefore not ideal for many situations or for repeated wear.
Many brides chose to wear dresses of other colors for their wedding and beyond. 【3】 They do so largely thanks to a trend that started with Queen Victoria’s 1840 wedding to Prince Albert.
【4】 Although not in as many different media as we have now, they still had a tendency to be trendsetting. So Victoria chose to wear a white gown (女礼服)—reportedly to show off the fine detailed Honiton lace produced by the British lace industry, which was depressed at the time. Her fashion choice was widely reported in newspapers and magazines. 【5】 Eventually, the trend of a white wedding gown spread across all economic levels and it was strengthened as “tradition” in the 20th century.
A．So why do so many of today’s brides wear white?
B．But why are brides so particular about their dresses?
C．Royal weddings in those years received a lot of reporting.
D．It reflected the growth of the wedding industry at that time.
E．It soon influenced domestic and international wedding trends.
F．In fact, other colors were chosen far more frequently than white.
G．This was for reasons of being practical as much as anything else.
23、The world is wasting the opportunity to “build back better” from the Covid-19 pandemic, and faces disastrous temperature rises of at least 2.7°C if countries fail to strengthen their climate commitments, according to a report from the UN.
Tuesday’s publication warns that countries’ current commitments would reduce carbon by only about 7.5% by 2030, far less than the 45% cut, which scientists say is needed to limit global temperature rises to 1.5°℃, the aim of the Cop26summit that opens in Glasgow this Sunday.
António Guterres, the UN secretary-general, described the findings as a “thundering wake-up call“ to world leaders. while experts called for action against fossil fuel companies.
Although more than 100 countries have promised to reach net zero emissions around mid-century, this would not be enough to avoid climate disasters, according to the UN emissions report, which examines the shortfall between countries’ intentions and actions needed on the climate. Many of the net zero commitments were found to be unclear, and unless accompanied by strict cuts in emissions this decade would allow global heating of a potentially disastrous extent.
Guterres said: “The heat is on, and as the contents of the report show, the leadership we need is off. Far off. Countries are wasting a massive opportunity to invest Covid-19 finance and recovery resources in sustainable, cost-saving, planet-saving ways. As world leaders prepare for Cop26, this report is another thundering wake-up call. How many do we need?”
Inger Andersen, the director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said: “Climate change is no longer a future problem. It is a now problem. To stand a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5℃, we have 8 years to almost halve greenhouse gas emissions: 8 years to make the plans, put in place the policies, carry them out and deliver the cuts.The clock is ticking loudly.”
Emissions fell by about 5.4% last year during Covid lockdowns, the report found, but only about one-fifth of the economic recovery spending goes towards reducing carbon emissions. This failure to ”build back better“ despite promises by governments around the world cast doubt on the world’s willingness to make the economic shift necessary to settle the climate crisis, the UN said.
In the run-up to Cop26, countries were supposed to submit national plans to cut emissions - called nationally determined contributions (NDCs) - for the next decade, a requirement under the 2015 Paris climate agreement. But the UNEP report found only half of countries had submitted new NDCs, and some governments had presented weak plans.
【1】Why were the findings described as a “thundering wake-up call”in Para. 3?
A．Because the world has failed to deliver on its current promises.
B．Because the serious problems were brought about by global fossil fuels.
C．Because a global temperature rise of at least 2.7°C would be a disaster.
D．Because the opportunities presented by covid-19 have been wasted.
【2】According to the author, in what circumstances is global warming avoidable?
A．New plans will be made to protect the environment.
B．Measures will be taken to reduce emissions in the coming ten years.
C．Transitions will be made in response to the global climate crisis.
D．Global sustainable environmental resources will be greatly developed.
【3】What is the author’s purpose in saying ”How many do we need?“ in Para. 5?
A．To show the number of alarm clocks required.
B．To inquire the number of the countries attending the meeting.
C．To explain the reason for the world’s wasting chances.
D．To stress the need to save energy and reduce emissions.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Few countries have submitted plans to reduce the emissions.
B．Most of the countries work under the Paris Climate Agreement.
C．Plans to cut emissions of many countries are far from satisfactory.
D．Much progress in reducing emissions has been made these years.
24、Catching nearly 4,000 wild butterflies with handheld nets and taking the temperature of each tiny insect must rank among the harder of scientific efforts.
However, researchers have discovered significant differences in the ability of British butterflies to maintain a suitable temperature, raising fears that global heating will threaten the populations of some species.
Butterflies are ectotherms-unable to generate their own body heat-and require warm temperatures to fly. However, extreme temperatures can pose problems, particularly for those butterflies that must find shady habitats to regulate (调节) their body temperature.
The study shows that larger, paler butterflies are best able to protect themselves from extreme temperatures, changing the angles of their reflective wings in relation to the sun to direct heat away from or on to their bodies. Darker, large species have greater difficulty controlling their body temperature, but even they are better than “thermal specialists”, which rely on finding a spot at a specific temperature in a landscape-a “microclimate”-to control their body temperature.
“After being caught in butterfly nets on British nature reserves, the 29 different species of butterflies’ temperatures were taken with a fine probe. As we plan conservation measures to address the effects of climate change, it will be important to understand not only the habitat requirements of different butterfly species, but also their temperature requirements,” said Dr Ed Turner, of the University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge, who led the work. “With this new understanding of butterflies, we should be able to better manage habitats and landscapes to protect them, and in doing so we’re probably also protecting other insects too.”
【1】Why did scientists take the temperatures of butterflies?
A．To seek solutions to global heating.
B．To uncover climate threats to them.
C．To classify them into different species.
D．To stress the toughness of scientific research.
【2】How do larger, paler butterflies regulate their temperature?
A．By angling their wings.
B．By generating the body heat.
C．By choosing a microclimate.
D．By making use of their colour.
【3】On what basis do butterflies seek specific locations?
A．Finding a nature reserve.
B．Attracting other butterflies.
C．Adapting to climate change.
D．Perceiving the surroundings.
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Understanding butterflies should be strengthened.
B．Better management of butterfly habitats is popular.
C．Protecting butterflies can lead to additional benefits.
D．Goals of protecting butterflies have been achieved.
25、Scientists say record heat has cost reef half of corals
The Great Barrier Reef, one of the earth's most precious habitats, lost half of its coral populations in the last quarter-century, a decline that researchers in Australia said would continue unless drastic action is taken to reduce the effects of climate change.
Colony sizes were smaller, there were fewer “big mamas," or older large corals that produce baby corals; and there were fewer of those babies, which are vital to the reefs future ability to_________. "Our results show the ability of the Great Barrier Reef to recover — its resilience (恢复力) — is weakened_________ the past, because there are fewer babies, and fewer large breeding adults," Dr. Andy Dietzel, the lead author of the study, said in a statement.
_________ a process in which corals turn white as water temperatures rise — contributed to sleep losses of Barrier Reef in 2016 and 2017. The southern part of the reef was also_________ to record — setting temperatures in early 2020. Researchers cited climate change as one of the major_________ of disturbances to reef.
“There is no time to_________ they said in a statement. "We must sharply decrease greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible.”
Researchers were disappointed about what they saw as a lack of attention to the study from government leaders in Australia, the world's biggest coral exporter. The government has _________ calls to reduce carbon emissions even as heat waves, drought and fires continue to reveal the country ,s situation of being hurt by climate change.
The Great Barrier Reef, which _________ a vast array of marine life, has between 300 and 400 coral species and stretches for thousands of kilometers across the Australian coast.
"You can_________ see it from space," said Deron Burkepile. a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Coral reefs worldwide are ____________ for billions of dollars is tourism and provide habitats for fish that feed close to one billion people on the planet, he said.
“The situation is serious," Professor Burkepile said. But people should not feel ____________ about the future of coral reefs, he said, even as they wait for world leaders to take more ____________ steps to control the effects of climate change.
At the local level, ____________ nitrogen (氮) pollution — which ____________ fading — can be controlled by reducing fertilizer and sewage runoff, according to a study that Professor Burkepile conducted with other researchers at his university. "The other thing that we need to take away is that coral reefs are amazing resilient," he said. "If we don't continually damage them, they will________________.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
When I hear people showing off of a work as yet undone, and trying to anticipate the credit which belongs only to actual achievement! Call to mind that scene by the riverside and the wise caution of my uncle. Our uncle who lived with us was a quiet, good-natured man, much given to hunting and fishing; and it was one of the pleasures of our young life to accompany him on his trips to Great Hill, Brandy-brow Woods, the Pond, and, best of all, to the Country Brook. We were quite willing to work hard in the cornfield or the dry grass stack (垛) to finish the necessary day’s labor in season for an afternoon wander through the woods and along the riverside.
I remember my first fishing outing as if it were but yesterday. I have been happy many times in my life, but never more intensely so than when I received that first fishing pole from my uncle’s hand, and walked with him through the woods and grasslands. It was a still, sweet day of early summer; the long afternoon shadows of the trees lay cool across our path; the leaves seemed greener, the flowers brighter, the birds merrier, than ever before.
My uncle, who knew by long experience where the best spots of fish were, considerately placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line as I had so often seen others, and waited anxiously for a bile, moving the bait (诱饵) in rapid drags on the surface of the water to copy the leap of a frog. Nothing came of it. “Try again,” said my uncle. Suddenly he bait sank out of sight. “Now for it,” thought I; “here is a fish at last.” I made a strong pull, and brought up a mess of weeds. Again and again 1 cast out my line with aching arms, and drew it back empty. I looked at my uncle appealingly. “Try once more,” he said; “we fishermen must have patience.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右：

Suddenly something drew my line, and swept off with it into deep water.
