21、You may say that rain comes from clouds, but you can also say that rain is clouds.【1】, you should know the mechanism through which water moves from the Earth to the atmosphere and back again.
Dew point is the temperature at which water vapor begins to condense (凝结) and becomes water droplets that can fall as rain. Dew point can vary anywhere from the 30s (Fahrenheit) to, on rare occasions, the 80s.
【2】. Once the air has cooled past the “dew point", it condenses around a nucleus, which are usually tiny particles of dust, smoke or even salt that are floating in the air. Then tiny water droplets are formed.【3】. If you pay close attention to clouds in the sky, you'll see char they’re constantly shrinking and growing,
Water vapor that has formed clouds is on its way to becoming rain, bur it's not there yet. For now, the water droplets are 80 tiny that the air currents keep them in the air, just as swirling particles of dust can stay in the air.【4】.
When water droplets combine with one another, they become heavier than the uplift of the air around them. Eventually they fall down through the cloud as rain.【5】They attract more water vapor to themselves and grow quickly until they're heavy enough to fall as snow.
A.Rain cloud is formed when there is enough water in the air
B.As warm air rises with the water vapor it contains, it cools
C.If you are curious about what kind of cloud will become rain
D.Sometimes the droplets rise high enough to freeze into ice crystals.
E.The tiny water droplets that initially form are what you see as clouds
F.If you want a better understanding of why rain comes down from clouds
G.As those droplets continue to rise, they have two ways to come back to Earth

23、Children who spend more time playing adventurously have lower symptoms of anxiety and depression, and were happier, according to a new research.
A study led by the University of Exeter asked parents how often their children engaged in play that was “thrilling and exciting”, where they might experience some fear and uncertainty.
The study comes at a time when today’s children have fewer opportunities for adventurous play out of sight of adults, such as climbing trees, riding bikes or jumping from high surfaces. The study sought to test theories that adventurous play offers learning opportunities that help build resilience in children, thereby helping to prevent mental health problems.
The research team surveyed nearly 2,500 parents of children aged 5 — 11 years. Parents completed questions about their child’s play, their general mental health and their mood. The research was carried out with two groups of parents: a group of 427 parents living in Northern Ireland and a nationally representative group of 1,919 parents living in Great Britain.
Researchers found that children who spend more time playing outside had fewer “internalizing problems” — characterized as anxiety and depression. The study in the Great Britain group also found that the effect was more pronounced in children from lower-income families than those growing up in higher-income households.
Helen Dodd, a professor of Child Psychology at the University of Exeter, who led the study, said, “We now urgently need to invest in and protect natural spaces, well-designed parks and adventure playgrounds, to support the mental health of our children.”
Welcoming the findings, Jacqueline O’Loughlin, Chief Executive of PlayBoard NI, said, “It is clear from the research findings that playing, taking risks and experiencing excitement outdoors make positive contributions to children’s mental health and emotional well-being. The rewards of allowing children to self-regulate and manage challenge in their play are widespread and far-reaching. Adventurous play helps children to build the resilience needed to cope with and manage stress in challenging circumstances.”
【1】What may be discovered in the study about adventurous play?
A.It can improve children’s learning ability.
B.It can influence children’s mental health.
C.It may be fascinated by some children.
D.It may not be accepted by some parents.
【2】How was the research conducted?
A.By listing reasons.
B.By conducting experiments.
C.By making questionnaires.
D.By analyzing related studies.
【3】What message does Jacqueline seem to convey in the text?
A.Children need to manage stess properly.
B.Public avenues should be invested in urgently.
C.Adventurous play benefits children significantly.
D.Children should be rewarded for their self-regulation.
【4】Which of the following could be the best title of the text?
A.More challenges, less anxieties
B.Be adventurous, you can make it

24、 As temperatures approached 90 degrees in New York City last July 4th, three police officers went into a Whole Foods Market to get something cold to drink. What they walked into was a heated human drama.
Once inside, the police officers, Lt. Louis Sojo, Esanidy Cuevas and Michael Rivera, were approached by a store security guard who asked for help with a suspected thief. The woman in question didn’t have the look of a career criminal. She was obviously scared, and her cheeks were wet with tears.
The police officers glanced inside her bag. “All we saw was containers of food. We didn’t see anything else,” Cuevas told CBS New York.
“I’m hungry,” she explained quietly.
Caught red-handed, the woman no doubt expected to be sent to prison for the crime of being hungry while poor. But the police officers had other ideas. “We’ll pay for her food,” Sojo told the surprised security guard.
There’d been no discussion among the three men, no need to see whether they were all in. It went unsaid. Instead, they picked up the woman’s bag and accompanied her to a cash register, where each paid $10 for the food. She would not be arrested today.
All the woman could do was weep in gratitude. Covering her face with a handkerchief and drying her eyes, she repeated, “Thank you, thank you.”
She wasn’t the only one touched by this act of compassion. “It was a very beautiful, genuine moment,” says Paul Bozymowski, who was at the store. He was so taken by what he’d witnessed that he posted a photo on Twitter for all to see.
But attention was never what the officers sought. They were driven by a far more common emotion. As Sojo told CNN , “When you look at someone’s face and see that they need you and they’re actually hungry, it’s pretty difficult as a human being to walk away from something like this.”
【1】Why did the woman cry at first?
A.She was grateful to the police officers.
B.She was sad because she had nothing to eat.
C.She was happy that she would not go to prison.
D.She was afraid because she was caught stealing.
【2】The underlined word “red-handed” in paragraph 5 can be replaced by ________.
A.on the spot B.with bloody hands
C.in the red clothes D.with a knife
【3】Why did Paul Bozymowski post a photo on Twitter?
A.Because he wanted to thank the police officers.
B.Because he was planning to seek attention from others.
C.Because he wanted to help the woman.
D.Because he was moved by what the police officers had done.
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.A Crime Committed B.Trapped in the Market
C.Crime and Compassion D.Poverty and Compassion
