26、 Even if all fossil fuel emissions (排放) ended immediately, greenhouse gasses from the food we eat could drive global temperatures above internationally agreed warming limits, a new study has warned.
The system to feed Earth’s 7.7 billion people accounts for nearly a third of global total greenhouse gas emissions, including from land clearing and deforestation, fertilizer use and livestock.
Researchers in the United States and Britain said the only way to avoid devastating (毁灭性的) levels of warming would be to transform what we eat, how it is produced, and the amount we waste. “Our work shows that food is a much greater contributor to climate change than is widely known,” said co-author Jason Hill, a professor in the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering at the University of Minnesota. “Fortunately, we can fix this problem by using fertilizer more efficiently, by eating less meat and more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts, and by making other important changes to our food system.”
The study in the journal Science forecasts future food system emissions using expected trends in population growth, dietary changes and the additional amount of land thought to be needed to feed the world.
The authors found that, if left untouched, these future food-related emissions would by themselves push Earth above the 1.5 degrees Celsius warming limit by 2050. By the end of the century, they would lift temperatures to nearly 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels -- the limit set in the 2015 Paris Agreement.
【1】What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A.Fossil fuel emissions are mainly to blame for the increasing global temperature.
B.Most of the greenhouse gas emission comes from land clearing and deforestation.
C.Feeding global population leads to about one third of the greenhouse gas emission.
D.The emissions from the food we eat are greater than those from burning fossil fuels.
【2】Which of the following statements will Jason Hill probably agree with?
A.It is not known that food is a great contributor to climate change.
B.It is impractical to avoid devastating level of warming from food.
C.Changes to our food system will be necessary to solve climate change.
D.Future food-related emissions will push global temperature above the limit.
【3】Where is the text probably from?
A.A research paper.
B.A science magazine.
C.A textbook.
D.A guidebook.
27、Step into Moving to Mars, an exhibition of Mars mission and colony design at London's Design Museum, and immediately you have good reasons not to move there.
Frightening glowing wall-texts announce that Mars wasn't made for you; that there is no life and precious little water; that, dressed in a spacesuit, you will never touch, taste or smell the planet you now call “home”. As Lisa Grossman wrote for New Scientist a couple of years ago, “What's different about Mars is that there is nothing to do there except try not to die.”
It is an odd beginning for such a celebratory exhibition, but it provides a valuable, dark background against which the rest of the show can sparkle (闪耀)—a show that is, as its chief manager Justin remarks, not about Mars; this is an exhibition about people.
Moving along, there is a quick yet clear flash through what the science-fiction writer Robinson calls “the history of Mars in the human mind”. A Babylonian clay tablet and a Greek vase speak to early ideas about the planet. A poster for the original Total Recall film reminds us of Mars' psychological threat.
The main part of the show is our current plans for the Red Planet. There are real spacesuits and models of 3D-printed Martian settlements and suitable clothing and furniture. Mission architectures and engineering sketches line the walls. Real hammers meant for the International Space Station are wall-mounted beside a low-gravity table that has yet to leave, and may indeed never leave, Earth.
This, of course, is the great strength of approaching science through design: reality and assumption can be given equal visual weight, drawing us into an informed conversation about what it is that we actually want from a future on Mars.
【1】What is the text mainly about?
A.How to move to Mars.
B.How to survive on Mars.
C.What preparations we made for Mars.
D.What the exhibition of Mars truly tells us.
【2】What can we learn from Lisa Grossman?
A.It's impossible to live on Mars.
B.It's no good settling on Mars.
C.You have no choice but to live on Mars.
D.You can live on Mars in spacesuit.
【3】What does the exhibition focus on?
A.The current plans for Mars.
B.The advantages of living on Mars.
C.The early ideas about Mars.
D.The history of Mars in the human mind.
28、Nowadays it’s believed that the largest contributors to air pollution are gasoline vehicles. They not only give off harmful gases but also dangerous and heavy metal particles(微粒) that can result in environmental dangers. We can’t stop using vehicles and thus stop air pollution right away. However, at least we can look for better replacements so that air pollution can be reduced. According to studies, hydrogen (氢)cars prove to be a better replacement for traditional cars.
A hydrogen car is a vehicle that uses hydrogen as fuel for its engine to work. There are two types of hydrogen cars. The first one is to use hydrogen as a fuel, and the second one is to use hydrogen fuel cells(电池) to provide power for the car. Hydrogen and oxygen react chemically with each other to produce electricity, thus starting the car.
There are many advantages of hydrogen cars. For example, hydrogen is available in plenty. Therefore, you needn’t worry about a lack of hydrogen. More importantly, no harmful gases are released as by-products .The only by-products are water and a little amount of heat so air pollution is prevented up to a large extent.
However, there are also some problems with hydrogen cars. For instance, in case of damage, the cost of repairing and replacing fuel cells is high. Worse still, hydrogen is a material which can burn easily, so it can result in a huge explosion of the car.
The concept of hydrogen cars is relatively new for most people. Research is still in progress to reduce disadvantages and increase advantages. Therefore, hydrogen cars are expected to contribute their bit towards making this planet better and healthier!
【1】The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers_____________.
A. a new type of cars. B. to stop air pollution right away.
C. the weaknesses and strengths of hydrogen cars. D. the reasons for air pollution.
【2】Which isn’t the by-product made by gasoline cars?
A. Carbon monoxide. B. Hydrogen.
C. Heavy mental particles. D. Harmful gases
【3】The author may disagree___________
A. Hydrogen is easy to burn. B. There is no chance that we quit using cars.
C. Hydrogen can be used as fuel for the engine of traditional cars. D. Hydrogen cars produce water and a little amount heat as by-products, thus reducing air pollution.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Hydrogen cars have been put into use. B. Hydrogen cars have a long way to go.
C. The concept of hydrogen cars is relatively new for most people. D. Hydrogen cars made contributions to making this planet better and healthier.
29、Adolescence is a crucial period of human life that is characterized by the physiological evolution of somatic characteristics associated with psychological and behavioural modifications. In this period of life, the subject experiences a process of growth, the development of his own personality, and the discovery of himself.
But how do parents feel about their kids’ independence showing-out?
They are often upset when their children praise the homes of their friends and regard it as a slur on their own cooking, or cleaning, or furniture, and often are foolish enough to let the adolescents see that they are annoyed. They may even accuse them of disloyalty, or make some spiteful remark about the friends, parents. Such a loss of dignity and descent into childish behaviour on the part of the adults deeply shocks the adolescents, and makes them resolve that in future they will not talk to their parents about the places or people they visit. Before very long the parents will be complaining that the child is so secretive and never tells them anything, but they seldom realize that they have brought this on themselves.
Disillusionment (幻灭感) with the parents, however good and adequate they may be both as parents and as individuals, is to some degree inevitable. Most children have such a high ideal of their parents, unless the parents themselves have been unsatisfactory, that it can hardly hope to stand up to a realistic evaluation. Parents would be greatly surprised and deeply touched if they realized how much belief their children usually have in their character and infallibility (一贯正确), and how much this faith means to a child. If parents were prepared for this adolescent reaction, and realized that it was a sign that the child was growing up and developing valuable powers of observation and independent judgment, they would not be so hurt, and therefore would not drive the child into opposition by resenting and resisting it.
The adolescent, with his passion for sincerity, always respects a parent who admits that he is wrong, or ignorant, or even that he has been unfair or unjust. What the child cannot forgive is the parents’ refusal to admit these charges if the child knows them to be true.
Victorian parents believed that they kept their dignity by retreating behind an unreasoning authoritarian (专制的) attitude; in fact they did nothing of the kind, but children were then too cowed to let them know how they really felt. Today we tend to go to the other extreme, but on the whole this is a healthier attitude both for the child and the parent. It is always wiser and safer to face up to reality, however painful it may be at the moment.
【1】What truly provoked the inevitable disillusionment according to Paragraph 4?
A.The contrast between parents’ realistic conditions and adolescents’ expectation
B.Resistance against their parents’ unreasoning demands or instructions
C.The doubted belief that parents tend to be wiser deciders than kids
D.The criteria of evaluating parents’ automatic behaviour
【2】Adolescents' withdrawal from communication will probably trigger problems not including________.
A.forming distant connections with parents
B.breaking their parents's caring hearts and underlying concerns
C.losing their own pursuits for ambitions and dreams
D.bringing themselves a abnormal psychological state
【3】Which of the following can be the best title?
A.Inner Journey: How Emotional Connections Shatter
B.Suspending Adolescence: A Bridge Is Forming
C.Adolescent Break-through: Pursuits For excellence
D.Anxious Parents: A Helping Hand Need A Break

31、阅读短文,根据首字母或中文提示在空白处填入1个适当单词的正确形式。
Arianna Huffington has been very vocal (直言的) about the importance of sleep since accidentally overworking herself to the point of exhaustion (筋疲力尽) in 2007.
Critics might point out that she managed to establish a(n) 【1】 (公认的) successful media company, the Huffington Post, after years of losing sleep. But Huffington said that was not the case.
Contrary to popular belief, she told CNBC Make It that she truly became successful when she quit working round-the-clock.
“Huffington Post was only a two-year-old baby when I 【2】 (突然倒下),” said Huffington.
After coming to realise the importance of sleep, Huffington started to see a difference in her work 【3】 (方式) and that’s when her business began to grow.
“I can tell you with authority that when I’m exhausted, I’m the worst version of myself,” said the entrepreneur (企业家). “I’m more reactive. I’m less creative. And all of us can testify to that.”
“I’m not c【4】 you that people can’t succeed by burning out. But they can succeed much more effectively, and much more sustainably, and with much less damage to their health and their relationships,” said Huffington.
