27、Based on new analysis, geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear. Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate (迁徙) north.

Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.

According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of today's familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today's world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the whole world. The planet itself has been showing signs of change. In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.

Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought. At this point, it doesn't matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. What's more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There is war and threat of war everywhere .Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.

【1】What is the author's purpose in using the examples of earthquakes?

A．To show the damage earthquakes caused.

B．To remind people to prevent future earthquakes.

C．To show major changes are taking place on the planet.

D．To tell us more earthquake will happen in the future.

【2】What does the underlined word "devastated" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．separated.

B．destroyed.

C．removed.

D．affected.

【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Ways to protect our planet

B．Solutions to climate change

C．Be prepared for climate change

D．Climate change and its effect

28、Start of Winter is the first solar term of winter, which means winter is coming and crops harvested in autumn should be stored up. 【1】.

Beginning or winter or not

In ancient times, the Chinese people took the Start of Winter to be the beginning of the winter. However, in fact, the Start of Winter is not the beginning of winter in terms of meteorology. The climate every year is different.【2】. And with the vast territory of China, winter of every area doesn’t begin at the same time.

【3】

The four beginnings of the season were important festivals in ancient times. Before the Start of Winter, the ancient emperor would take a shower and have no more meat. On that day, the emperor would lead his officials to the suburbs and perform the ceremony of welcoming the winter.

Nourishing the winter

On the day of Start of Winter, there is a custom, “nourishing the winter”, in Southeast China in places such as Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan provinces.【4】, people there like to eat high-calorie food such as chicken, duck, beef, mutton, and fish, which are usually stewed with the Chinese medicines to enhance the effectiveness of the nourishment.

Offering sacrifices (供品) to ancestors

The Start of Winter, when the autumn crops have been placed in storage，was the time of the festival for the people of the Manchu Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners in Benxi of Liaoning province.【5】. The Eight Banners (baqi) were administrative/military divisions during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

A．Winter Solstice is a time for the family to get Together

B．To prepare for the oncoming cold winter

C．Here are things you should know about Start of Winter

D．Welcoming the winter in ancient times

E．After this day, many places in China go through the coldest period

F．Incense was burned and sacrifices offered to ancestors

G．Therefore the beginning of winter could be quite different

29、Rolling electric power blackouts afflicted(困扰) roughly 2 million California residents in August, 2020 as a heat wave gripped(影响) the Golden State. At the center of the problem is a state policy requiring that33 percent of California’s electricity come from renewable sources such as solar and wind power, rising to a goal of 60 percent by 2030. Yet data showed that power demand peaks just before the sun begins to go down, when overheated people turn up their air conditioning in the late afternoon. Meanwhile, the power output from California’s wind farms in August was erratic.

California electricity grid operators warned that power shortages might become increasingly common when heat waves hit in the coming years. California still has some natural gas power plants that can be ramped up to(提高) supply energy when renewable supplies fail. “But some folks in the environmental community want to shut down all the gas plants,” Jan Smutny-Jones, CEO of the Independent Energy Producers Association, a trade association representing solar, wind, geothermal, and gas power plants, said in August, 2020. “That would be a disaster. 60 percent of the power in the California Independent System Operator electricity network was being produced by those gas plants in this summer. They are your insurance policy to get through heat waves.”

Union of Concerned Scientists analyst Mark Specht, by contrast, said that “The solution is definitely not more natural gas plants. Really, if anything, this is an indication that California should speed up its investments in clean energy and energy storage.”

【1】What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A．The population in California is growing rapidly.

B．California is short of wind and solar power.

C．People turn up their air conditioning all the day.

D．The government required people to use more renewable energy

【2】What is the meaning of the underlined word “erratic”?

A．Unstable.

B．Abundant.

C．Changed.

D．Increased.

【3】What’s Jan Smutny-Jones’ attitude to shutting all the gas plants?

A．Favorable.

B．Disapproving.

C．Objective.

D．Doubtful.

【4】What might Mark Specht agree according to the passage?

A．More natural gas plants ought to be built in the future.

B．Money should be invested in clean energy early.

C．More energy should be produced in the summer.

D．California government should carry out insurance policy.
