21、   Public transport is declining in the rich world. To those who have to squeeze onto the number 25 bus in London, or the A train in New York, the change might not be noticeable. But public transport is becoming less busy in those places, and passenger numbers are flat or falling in almost every American city despite healthy growth in urban populations and employment.

Although transport agencies blame their unpopularity on things like roadworks and broken signals, it seems more likely that they are being outcompeted. App-based taxi services like Uber and Lyft are more comfortable and convenient than trains or buses. Cycling is nicer than it was, and rental bikes are more widely available. Cars are cheap to buy, thanks to cut-rate loans, and ever cheaper to run. Online shopping, home working and office-sharing mean more people can avoid travelling altogether.

The competition is only likely to grow. More than one laboratory is developing new transport technologies and applications. Silicon Valley invented Uber and, more recently, apps that let people rent electric scooters(滑板车) and then abandon them on the pavement. China created sharing-bicycles and battery-powered "e-bikes", both of which are spreading.

Transport agencies should accept the upstarts(新兴方式), and copy them. Cities tend either to ignore app-based services or to try to push them off the streets. That is understandable, given the rules-are-for-losers attitude of firms like Uber. But it is an error.

It is doubtful that most people make hard distinctions between public and private transport. They just want to get somewhere, and there is a cost in time, money and comfort. An ideal system would let them move across a city for a single payment, transferring from trains to taxis to bicycles as needed. Building a platform to allow that is hard, and requires much effort of traditional networks as well as technology firms. It is probably the secret to keeping cities moving.

【1】What is the change in public transport in big cities?

A.It is becoming busier.

B.It is getting less popular.

C.There are fewer traffic delays.

D.There is more new transport.

【2】In the author’s opinion, the reason for the decline of public transport is that ______.

A.there are roadworks and broken signals.

B.people are becoming healthier and employed.

C.cars and bikes are more and more available.

D.transport agencies are seemingly less competitive.

【3】How does the author develop his idea in Paragraph 3?

A.By giving examples

B.By providing research results

C.By stating arguments

D.By comparing different approaches

【4】According to the text, the key to keeping cities moving is ____________.

A.to develop an ideal system that satisfies everyone.

B.to provide people with more means of transportation.

C.to build a good platform that appeals to transport agencies.

D.to make traditional networks and technology firms cooperate.

22、The immense and forbidding Southern Ocean is famous for howling winds and strange waves that have tested mariners for centuries.

But its true strength lies beneath the waves.

The ocean’s dominant feature, extending up to two miles deep and as much as 1.200 miles wide, is the Antarctic Circumpolar (极地附近的) Current, by far the largest current in the world.

It is the world’s climate engine, and it has kept the world from warming even more by drawing deep water from the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans, much of which has been in the deep ocean for hundreds of years, and pulling it to the surface. There, it exchanges heat and carbon dioxide with the atmosphere before being pushed again on its endless round trip.

Without this action, which scientists call upwelling, the world would be even hotter than it has become as a result of human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases. “From no perspective is there any place more important than the Southern Ocean,” said Joellen L. Russell, an oceanographer at the University of Arizona. “There’s nothing like it on Planet Earth.”

For centuries this ocean was largely unknown, and its conditions were so extreme that only a relative handful of sailors went to its waters with lots of icebergs.

What fragmentary scientific knowledge was available came from measurements taken by explorers, naval ships, the occasional research expeditions or whaling ships.

But more recently, a new generation of floating, autonomous probes (探测仪) that can collect temperature, density and other data for years—diving deep underwater, and even exploring beneath the Antarctic sea ice, before rising to the surface to phone home—has enabled scientists to learn much more. They have discovered that global warming is affecting the Antarctic current in complex ways, and these shifts could complicate the ability to fight climate change in the future.

【1】Why docs the true strength lie beneath the waves in the Southern Ocean?

A．There is the deepest current in the world.

B．There is the world’s largest current.

C．There is severe cold climate in the South Pole.

D．There are the strongest winds and strangest waves.

【2】How docs the Southern Ocean keep the world from warming even more?

A．By pushing severe cold water to the other oceans.

B．By cooling the warmer water from the other oceans.

C．By drawing cold water from other oceans and pulling it to the surface.

D．By keeping cold water in the other oceans for hundreds of years.

【3】What does the underlined word "fragmentary" mean in paragraph 7?

A．Advanced.

B．Abstract.

C．Incomplete.

D．Concrete.

【4】What do scientists discover according to the last paragraph?

A．The current there is in normal condition despite global warming.

B．The current there is under the complicated influence of global warming.

C．The autonomous probes have found solutions to global warming.

D．Nothing can be done for global warming due to severe cold climate.

23、   Educational programs often use fear-based messaging and films of crash scenes to reduce risky driving behavior among young people. But does this “scary” approach work? A new study suggests that fear-based messaging fails to reduce risky driving behavior, while fear-based Virtual Reality (VR) films showing a violent collision may actually lead young drivers to take more chances behind the wheel.

A team of psychologists in Belgium conducted a study of 146 students who had been legally driving for less than five years. The researchers examined the impact of both content (fear vs. positive) and delivery mode (2D vs. VR) of driver safety intervention programs.

By showing a serious consequence such as death, fear-based driver education films attempt to arouse a sense of fear and persuade young people to drive more carefully. Positively framed films take the opposite approach, using humor and modeling safe driving behaviors that result in positive consequences.

Three tests were used to analyze the risk-taking behavior of the young drivers before and after participating in the intervention program. One was a questionnaire. Another was a test on traffic, which asks participants to watch video clips of driving situations and choose whether they view a situation as too risky, for example, choosing whether to pass another car in icy conditions. A third test was used to measure the level of emotional arousal (such as feeling afraid) after watching a film.

The results showed that participants who viewed the fear-based VR film reported riskier driving behaviors afterward, while those who viewed a positively framed VR film exhibited the greatest reduction in risky driving behavior. This finding supports other research that has shown that exposing participants to an extreme collision tends to activate defensive mechanisms, such as paying attention for a shorter time, disengaging, rejecting a message, and an increase in risky behaviors.

“Fear appeals have been used in many health and environmental campaigns, such as smoking and anti-drug,” says Dr. Cutello of the research team. “Further experimental research is needed to determine whether the use of fear is effective.”

【1】What is the new study about?

A．VR’s application on driving education.

B．Young drivers’ risky driving behaviors.

C．The deadly consequence of violent crashes.

D．The effect of drivers’ educational programs.

【2】Why were participants asked to watch video clips in the second test?

A．To assess driving emotions.

B．To judge driving behaviors.

C．To gain driving competence.

D．To keep safe driving in mind.

【3】Which was the result of the fear-based VR film in the study?

A．Drivers show fewer risky behaviors.

B．Drivers were less able to focus long.

C．Drivers were unwilling to cooperate.

D．Drivers became more open to advice.

【4】What does Dr. Cutello’s words suggest?

A．More research should be conducted.

B．Fear-based education shouldn’t be used.

C．The result of his research is unconvincing.

D．The use of fear education has been cut down.

24、   My college experience included this life-skill lesson: Drink alcohol on a full stomach. Or you will get inebriated too quickly. Of course, most college students shouldn’t be drinking at all, but we know from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that close to 60 percent of college students aged 18 to 22 do consume alcohol, which makes harm-reducing approaches important.

Unfortunately, campus authorities and researchers are reporting a practice that turns the full-stomach drinking strategy on its head: rather than filling up before a night of partying, significant numbers of students refuse to eat all day before consuming alcohol.

This is a high-risk behavior called “drunkorexia,” which is one part eating disorder, one part alcoholism—a very dangerous combination for college-age students. The term drunkorexia, which can also include excessive exercise or purging before consuming alcohol, was coined about 10 years ago, and it started showing up in medical research around 2012. Drunkorexia addresses the need to be the life of the party while staying extremely thin, pointing to a flawed mind-set about body image and alcoholism among college students, mostly women.

Imagine this scenario: A female college freshman doesn’t eat anything all day, exercises on an empty stomach, then downs five shots of tequila in less than two hours. Because there’s no food in her system to help slow the absorption of alcohol, those shots affect her rapidly, leading to inebriation and possibly passing out, vomiting or suffering alcohol poisoning. That’s drunkorexia.

Tavis Glassman, professor of health education and public health at the University of Toledo in Ohio, researches drunkorexia and worries about scenarios such as the one described above: “With nothing in her system, alcohol hits quickly, and that brings up the same issues as with any high-risk drinking: getting home safely, sexual assault, unintentional injury, fights, hangovers that affect class attendance and grades, and possibly ending up in emergency because the alcohol hits so hard,” he says.

“Alcohol can negatively affect the liver or gastrointestinal system, it can interfere with sleep, lower the immune system and is linked to several types of cancers,” Hultin says.

【1】What does the underlined word “inebriated” in paragraph 1 mean?

A. excited B. overwhelmed C. addicted D. drunk

【2】We can infer from the passage that ____________.

A. a large number of college students spend most of their nights partying

B. some college students refuse to eat before drinking alcohol to keep slim

C. There is a direct link between body image and consuming alcohol

D. female college student is more likely to be hurt if she drinks alcohol

【3】Which of the following may Tavis Glassman agree with?

A. With more food in one’s system, he may suffer from the effects of alcohol slowly.

B. Drinking five shots of tequila in less than two hours is the performance of drunkorexia.

C. Those who don’t attend classes and have lower grades tend to be addicted to alcohol.

D. Alcohol has negative effects on the immune system and may lead to several cancers.

25、   Peter Tabichi is a science teacher who donates 80 percent of his teaching salary _________ local community projects. He has _________ rating the impact and importance of the world’s best _________.

“I’m very proud of my students. We lack _________ that many schools take for granted,” Tabici says. “So as a teacher, I just want to have a(an) _________ impact not only on my country but on the whole of Africa.” Tabichi teaches in a _________ town called Pwani Village, where approximately 95 percent of students live in poverty, and about one-third are _________ orphans or have only one parent.

26、请阅读下面短文， 并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

You may not have noticed it , but every time you are very hungry, you tend to get angry much more easily and for no reason. You are getting “hungry”, which is “the phenomenon whereby some people get short-tempered when they’re longing for a feed”, CNN noted.

According to Health, the lower blood sugar stops the brain from working properly. As a result, we may feel ineffective and angry.

What we eat will provide the nutrients for our bloodstream. Then they are given to our organs and tissues and used for energy.

But if we are hungry, the nutrients will drop rapidly. And if they drop enough, our brain will think that it is in a life-threatening situation and cannot focus on its job. So you will find it’s hard to work or study efficiently and keep a peaceful mind.

Scientists advise to “carry healthy snacks with you---like fruit, and yogurt---so that when you are hungry, they will hold you over until the next meal.”
