21、   "You are very aware that if something goes wrong, it goes very wrong very quickly," says Joanne Johnson, speaking near Thwaites Glacier(冰川) in one of the remotest parts of Antarctica. At the time, she and three colleagues were alone, more than 1600 kilometres from the nearest research station. Strong winds had pounded them and it had snowed heavily. On the bright side, fortunately, it was mild, at -5℃.

Until now, fewer than 50 people have been to this part of West Antarctica, less than have been to space. By the end of this month, 100 will have visited. The reason is simple: Thwaites now is a potential time bomb.

This vast glacier is about the size of Great Britain. While it has been lessening since the early 1990s, ice it lost has almost doubled over the past 20 years. It is falling 35 billion tonnes a year. On its own, its collapse would raise seas by around 65 centimetres. That is worrying enough in the context of the 19-cm rise in the whole of the 20th century. But the bigger worry is that this glacier buttresses the entire West Antarctic ice sheet. The fear is that it will cause a wider collapse of the ice sheet — enough to raise seas by a disastrous 3.3 metres within a few hundred years if Thwaites goes.

Scientists for the first time drilled into the ice; placing instruments into the ice is the only way to make accurate forecasts of how sea level will rise in the future. This year's work has already confirmed their fears though — warm ocean water that circles Antarctica is flowing to the coast and because the seabed tips downwards, as the ice melts(融化) it will expose increasingly more ice to that water, meaning the glacier could disappear increasingly rapidly.

Joanne Johnson said, "What happens in the Antarctic doesn't stay in the Antarctic. Humanity cannot afford to wait."

【1】Why will more people visit Thwaites?

A．To measure Thwaites' size.

B．To locate Thwaites Glacier.

C．To explore West Antarctica.

D．To learn about Thwaites' melting.

【2】What does the underlined word "buttresses" in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Supports.

B．Covers.

C．Damages.

D．Balances.

【3】What's the purpose of scientists' drilling into the ice?

A．To find out the position of ice melting.

B．To predict the exact change of sea level.

C．To calculate the speed of water circling.

D．To prevent the seabed from moving.

【4】What does Joanne Johnson mean in the last paragraph?

A．Antarctic is destroyed by outsiders.

B．Antarctic is the focus of the problem.

C．Thwaites' trouble will become worldwide.

D．Humans should be blamed for Thwaites' crisis.

23、There’s nothing like having a best friend forever—that person who you can have fun with and talk to. July 30 is the International Day of Friendship. Maybe you can keep an eye out for a new friend to get to know. And while we’re talking about friends, don't think humans are the only ones who know a thing or two about friendship. Check out these friendly animals in nature who help each other out.

An elephant and an olive baboon (东非狒狒) can be friends? It sounds strange, but it’s true. You can find this pair of friends in the grasslands of Africa. This unusual pair helps each other out like any good friends would. The elephant uses its front teeth to make a waterhole in the sand, and it lets the olive baboon have a drink from this “well” when it gets thirsty. In return, the baboon tells the elephant when danger is near. It climbs up to the treetops and calls out so its friend knows that it’s time to move on.

In the sea world, the goby fish and the shrimp (虾虎鱼和虾) are well-known for their friendship. While the shrimp provides a home for the goby fish, the goby fish provides a guidance service for the almost blind shrimp. You see, the goby has great eyesight (视力) and stays close to the shrimp. As the shrimp moves around, the shrimp is feeling the goby with its antenna (须) from time to time to make sure it's still there. If the goby senses danger, she will return to the home and the shrimp will follow.

The langur monkey has a very good friendship with the chital deer (花鹿). While the langur monkey eats in a tree, it drops leaves to the ground. This is good for the deer because sometimes there’s not much food. The deer will follow the monkey and eat whatever food is dropped. And in return, when the monkey comes down from the tree, the deer will put its foot down heavily to tell the monkey if it senses danger.

【1】How can an elephant help an olive baboon?

A．By providing protection.

B．By providing a home.

C．By providing water.

D．By providing information.

【2】What does a shrimp do when moving around in the sea?

A．It never swims far from its home.

B．It goes home from time to time.

C．It uses its antenna for directions.

D．It stays close to the goby fish.

【3】What do the olive baboon and the chital deer have in common?

A．They warn their friends of danger.

B．They live together with their friends.

C．They have a good sense of smell.

D．They have good eyesight.

【4】What would be the best title for the text?

A．Best friends forever

B．Friendships in the animal world

C．Love me, love my dog

D．The International Day of Friendship

24、They are the little sweeties who look pretty cute in a photo，or when sleeping——but a lot less appealing at 30，000 ft，crying loudly in the seat fight next to you．

According to a new survey，almost seven in ten Britons dislike flying with babies so much that they would like to see child-free areas introduced on planes．As for long-distance flights where people want to sleep，almost one in four British travelers believes that no-kid-zones should be fixed as required sections．

The survey was conducted by bookings website LateDeals．co．uk，with 1，108 UK consumers questioned as to what they hate most about air travel．

And our dislike of noisy children and babies on planes runs deep．it seems．

  More than a third of us—35 per cent—would pay extra to travel on a childless service．

  Long-distance passengers would be prepared to pay an additional ￡63 to the cost of a return ticket if it meant adults only on board．And on short-distance flights，an extra ￡28 on the price of a return fare would be considered good value if it guaranteed an absence of angry babies in the middle of the economy-class aisle(走道)．

However，screaming babies are not the only source of annoyance for British travellers．In fact，according to the research on the most annoying types of airline passengers，a crying baby ranks as only the fourth．Over half of those surveyed—58 percent—selected ‘drunk travellers’ as their pet peeves．People with‘bad personal hygiene(卫生)’and travellers who kick the back of the seat in front were also near the top of the list，causing anger to 48 and 47 per cent of us respectively(分别地)．

Crying babies came in at fourth on the list，a pet peeve for 43 per cent of those surveyed．

【1】Britons dislike flying with babies because they_________．  

A．make too much noise

B．get angry easily

C．sleep right next to them

D．stay in the economy-class aisle

【2】How many British travellers surveyed would like to have no-kid-zones on planes?

A．About 35％．   B．About 43％．

C．About 70％．   D．About 58％．

【3】What kind of passengers is most disliked by British airline travellers?

A．The crying babies on a flight．

B．People with bad personal hygiene．

C．Those who have drunk too much alcohol．

D．Those who kick the back of the seat in front
