22、Refugees are on the move in forests across the western U. S. As climate conditions change, the ranges of tree species are shifting, especially toward cooler or wetter sites. A new Stanford analysis, published on November 15th in Nature Communications, provides some of the first confirmable evidence that wildfire is accelerating this process, likely by reducing competition from established species.

“Complex, interdependent (互相依赖的)forces are shaping the future of our forests,” said study lead author Avery Hill, a graduate student in biology at Stanford, s School of Humanities & Sciences.

As the climate changes, animal and plant species are shifting their ranges toward conditions suitable for their growth and reproduction. Past research has shown that plant ranges are shifting to higher, cooler altitudes at an average rate of almost five feet per year. In many studies, these range shifts fall behind the rate of climate change, suggesting that some species may become stranded (困住)in unsuitable habitats. The factors that impact plant species’ ability to keep up with climate change are key to maintaining healthy populations of the dominant trees in western forests, yet have remained largely mysterious.

To better understand the distance, direction and rate at which tree ranges are shifting, Hill and study co-author Chris Field, the Perry L. McCarty Director of the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment, looked at how the phenomenon is affected by wildfire, a powerful and widespread driver of ecosystem structure and composition in the western United States.

Using U. S. Forest Service data collected from over 74, 000 plots across nine Western states, the researchers identified tree species that are shifting their ranges toward cooler, wetter sites. Then, they compared the rate of these range shifts between places that were burned by wildfire and places that were not.

The findings demonstrate not only that fire can accelerate tree migration, but that some species may be slowing the range shifts of others through competition. This, in turn, raises questions about the impact of fire management on trees’ ability to keep up with climate change, and points to the importance of low-intensity natural fires.

【1】What does the underlined word “Refugees” refer to in the first paragraph?

A．Wildfire.

B．Climate.

C．Animals.

D．Trees.

【2】What is unknown in the past researches?

A．Why plant ranges shift more slowly than climate change.

B．How plant species’ ability influences the weather change.

C．What causes plant species to be stuck in unfit habitats.

D．How fast plant ranges shift on a regular basis.

【3】Which possibly influences the rate of trees migration according to the analysis?

A．Fire management and climate.

B．Low intensity and natural fires.

C．Wildfire and other tree species.

D．Ecosystem structure and ranges.

【4】What can be inferred about this new Stanford analysis?

A．Different plant species are interdependent.

B．A natural fire may help forests remain healthy.

C．Range shifts won’t be affected by fire management.

D．Competition between species accelerates climate change.

23、Cyberattacks are like thievery in the dark-mostly invisible and highly dangerous. As proved on Sept 5, the cyberattack on the email system of Northwestem Polytechnical University in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, was launched by the US National Security Agency.

The cyberattack was launched against the university on April 12. The university is known for its education and research programs in the fields of astronautics and marine technology engineering, reported China Daily.

The university became aware of the attack by noticing phishing(网络钓鱼) emails with Trojan horse programs. Such emails, which were disguised as research reviews, invitations to academic events and opportunities to study abroad, were sent to teachers and students at the university. By tricking them into clicking the links and giving away their sign-in information, the attacker aimed to steal university data.

However, apart from the phishing emails which were visible to the public, the investigation team, including the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and internet security company 360, revealed in a report that over 40 cyberattack weapons were used. The weapons were used to steal core technology data, such as network management data and core operational data. It thus confirmed that the attack had severely endangered national security.

The incident showed the public a glimpse of cyberattacks between nations. Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360, said in the report that national-level hacker armies and organizations have become the biggest threat to China’s cybersecurity. “Cyberattacks launched by a country have clear targets. Hackers may first penetrate(秘密潜入) key information systems in China and wait for the right opportunities to steal information.” Zhou said.

Cyberattacks may seem far away from our daily activities online, but every internet user, no matter young or old, is a potential victim. For cyberattacks between countries, we may be unknowingly used to breach(破坏) our country’s network security. One simple way of preventing cyberattacks is to be watchful-raising your awareness of cybercrimes and keeping an eye on anything unusual when online.

【1】Why did the US National Security Agency launch the cyberattack?

A．To damage key systems.

B．To steal personal information.

C．To gain access to sensitive data.

D．To seek certain financial benefits.

【2】What aspect of cyberattacks between nations does paragraph 5 tell us about?

A．Their origins.

B．Their purpose.

C．Their influence.

D．Their characteristics.

【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Some people are safe from cyberattacks.

B．Cyberattacks are not difficult to detect.

C．Anyone can be used to threaten national security.

D．Cyberattacks are the biggest threat to national security.

【4】What does the author suggest people do to prevent cyberattacks?

A．Watch the news regularly.

B．Be alert to anything strange online.

C．Use the internet as little as possible.

D．Learn in-depth about cyber crimes

24、   My dad was a nice man who didn’t talk very much. He used to work as a mechanic fixing army planes, but he was sent back after getting injured. Later, he opened a garage with his friend, who sold it behind his back. People took advantage of him, but he couldn’t turn down a favor.

That’s why I felt more than a little confused when a policeman called my office, asking me to pick him up at the station. The old man was found walking alone along the highway. When a police patrol car stopped him, he explained that he was traveling to Nebraska to claim his million dollars.

“What million dollars?” I asked Dad, who was sitting quietly in the passenger’s seat as we drove home. Dad took out a wrinkled letter and read, “We are now authorized to pay one million dollars to Woodrow T. Grant of Billing, Montana.”

I never knew dad wanted to be a millionaire. I asked him what he would do with the prize money, to which he replied that he wanted a new truck. His driver’s license has expired (失效) fifteen years ago when he reached his seventies.

I knew that the letter was a scam (骗局), but the old man was as stubborn as a mule. He even slept with that stupid letter in his hand. He memorized it word for word. I didn’t think he could memorize anything anymore. He wouldn’t stay at home either, but ventured out onto the highway again and again, until the police sent him back. In the end, I had to give up. I called in sick at work and the two of us set out in my car to claim his prize.

We traveled past several states. Dad remained silent, while I found it hard to control my temper. Finally, I decided to ask the question. “Why on earth do you need a million dollars for a stupid truck?” Dad replied, “The rest is for you. I wanted to leave you something.” His words made me speechless.

The following day, we arrived at our destination. Dad’s heart leaped with joy as I opened the car door for him. He marched toward the specific spot marked in the letter. However, when someone answered the door, he saw their puzzled expression. At that moment he knew that he was not a millionaire. He stood there in stunned silence as tears rolled down his cheeks.

On our way back, we stopped at a truck-dealer’s. Dad cast his eyes towards his favorite truck, and then he looked at me. I realized the truth of his disappointment, so I decided to buy it for him. We drove his treasured vehicle back home with the wind in our face. Although I was tired, what I felt at that moment is something money cannot buy.

【1】The son picked his father up at the station because ________.

A．his father was injured while fixing army planes

B．his father got involved in a scam

C．his walking along the highway worried the policemen

D．he drove his truck with an out-of-date driving license

【2】Which of the following best describes the father?

A．Determined.

B．Greedy.

C．Generous.

D．Forgetful.

【3】What can we infer from the text?

A．The son persuaded his father to claim the money.

B．The son accompanied his father to the destination with joy.

C．The father valued the letter as a way to become a millionaire.

D．The father was disappointed at his inability to give his son something valuable.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．An Illegal trick

B．One Million Dollars

C．Dad’s Favorite Truck

D．A Stubborn Millionaire

25、   It is understandable that the plan to raise the retirement age has sparked debates, because the move involves individuals’ interests and delayed retirement has been on countries’ ________ for a long time.

The wider the debate is, the clearer the issues will be. The first misunderstanding is that the government is thinking over raising the retirement age to ________ the so-called shortfall in pension funds. The fact is, there is no such thing as a nationwide shortfall in the pension funds, because the situation varies from region to region. So we need a ________ pension system to ensure all regions have adequate pension funds.

Many countries with extra pension insurance are drawing up plans for raising the retirement age. Nowadays, people start working at a later age. So the retirement age should be extended ________ the structural changes of individuals’ life-cycle. For example, many born in the 1980s and 1990s started working at 25 or 30 due to their ________ of higher education. If such people retire at 60, they would have worked for only 35 or 30 years. And given their longer life expectancy, they’ll receive pensions for a longer period of time, putting extra ________ on the pension system.

But since delayed retirement ________ people’s interests, it must be planned carefully. First, the retirement age should be raised, once the leadership decides to do so, ________ across the country. Although rolling out pilot programs before ________ economic and social reforms made them more effective, the retirement age cannot be raised in different regions in a targeted manner, because that’ll not be helpful to ________ development in different regions.

Second, some people are against raising the retirement age because they feel they may be forced to work for a few “extra years”. As has been learned from other countries’ ________, some policies can be adopted to help accept the delayed retirement plan. ________, it should be made clear to employees that the longer they contribute to the pension funds, the higher pension they’ll draw after retirement—and early retirement will result in ________ pension.

Third, it is important to balance the interests of different groups. China’s current retirement system distinguishes between men and women, and the employees of State-owned enterprises and privately-owned companies have different opinions on delayed retirement. The new retirement policy needs to be ________ to all groups.

The debate on delayed retirement shows that reforms of social policies will face more challenges and the challenges need political wisdom and practical strategies to________.

A．agenda

B．conflict

C．decision

D．problem

A．result from

B．make up

C．bring about

26、请阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章

On March 30, 2020, the Ministry of Education announced that the national college entrance examination, or gaokao, would be held on July 7 and 8, which is usually held on June 7 and 8.

WangHui, director of the ministry’s Department of College Students Affairs, said the postponement is mainly to ensure the fairness of the exam. As senior high school students have been taking online courses during the epidemic(流行病), many rural students who lack internet access might feel disadvantaged, so the delay is to ensure they will have more time to prepare for the exam at school, he said.

This is the first time in 17 years that China has adjusted the date of the college entrance examination.

According to the announcement, standard Chinese language and mathematics tests will be on July 7, which are mandatory exams for all students.

On the morning of July 8, students would either take the test for social sciences (history, political science and geography) or natural sciences (physics, chemistry and biology), depending on their high-school subjects. Foreign language shall be the final subject .

Further arrangements will be announced to the public later.

The examination postponement could be regarded as an adjustment due to the coronavirus oufbreak, said Li Jiasheng, a senior high school teacher at Beijing No.4 High School, the Paper reported.

“It gives us more time to make up for the suspension of class due to the outbreak.”he added.
