26、   Climate change can happen naturally or in response to human activities, including the burning of fossil fuels and clearing of forests. Burning fossil fuels creates gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. In fact, about 90 percent of the heat is absorbed by the ocean. So it’s really important to track the oceans’ warming, says Jörn Callies. He’s an oceanographer at the California Institute of Technology. Tracking how that heat affects the ocean is difficult because of its depth and size, though. This makes it hard for scientists to understand long-term changes in temperature.

In September 2020, Callies and other scientists reported a new way to check the temperature of the ocean. As temperature affects how fast sound travels (sound travels faster in warmer water than colder water). Scientists originally proposed using sounds produced by machines to measure ocean warming, but it would affect marine animals. Whales, for example, use sound to communicate. Finally, Callies and his team showed they could use the natural sounds produced by earthquake instead.

For their study, the scientists looked at data for 2,000 pairs of earthquakes. Each earthquakes pair happened in the same place but at different times. What did the scientists find? The sound waves traveled a few tenths of a second faster in more recent quakes than in older ones. This difference suggests a warming trend of 0.04 degrees Celsius (about 0.08 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade. A tiny amount of a degree may not sound like a lot. But it represents a huge of heat that the ocean absorbed. It takes a lot of heat to change the temperature of a body of water almost 3,200 kilometers (2,000 miles) wide and several kilometers deep.

However, Callies says it’s not the time to worry about that yet. They don’t know if the warming is only specific to the one region (East Indian Ocean) or if it’s happening elsewhere. “We just don’t have the data yet.” he says.

【1】The heat caused by burning fossil fuels is mainly ________.

A．cleared by the forest

B．disappearing naturally

C．taken in by ocean

D．trapped by human activities

【2】It is difficult to track the heat in the ocean because ________.

A．scientists can’t understand the changes in temperature

B．measuring the temperatures cost too much

C．the changes in temperature is too small

D．oceans are so deep and big to measure

【3】Scientists choose sounds produced by earthquakes to track the ocean’s warming because ________.

A．natural sounds is less harmful to marine animals

B．sounds produced by machines are not correct

C．marine animals absorb sounds produced by machines

D．sounds produced by earthquakes travels faster than those by machines

【4】Which conclusion can be drawn from the third paragraph?

A．The change of sound sped affects temperature.

B．The change in the ocean’s heat can be ignored.

C．The experiment was not a success.

D．The change in the ocean’s heats is actually very big.

【5】What does Callies mean in the last paragraph?

A．Study should be continued and more data need to be collected.

B．There is no need to worry about the climate change.

C．He lost confidence in the study.

D．The scientists can’t analyze the data correctly.

27、Loch Ness, the largest freshwater lake in the British Isles, is twenty- four miles long and at one point, one mile wide. It has an average depth of four hundred and fifty feet and at times drops close to a thousand.It is cold and murky (混沌的), with dangerous currents. In short, it is the perfect place to hide a monster from even the sharpest eyes of science.

The Loch Ness Monster, also called Nessie, is supposedly living in this area. The earliest recorded sighting of the Loch Ness Monster was in the biography of Life of St.Columba by Adamnan in the year A.D.565. The monster apparently attacked a man who was swimming in the River Ness.

The monster didn’t make headlines again until August 27, 1930, when 3 fishermen reported seeing a creature with 20 feet long approaching their boat, throwing water in the air. In 1933, after a new road was built along the edge of the Loch, the number of reports rose suddenly. Early in 1934, Author Grant, a young student, was out on his motorcycle one evening when he almost ran into the monster as it crossed the road. Grant’s description of the thing — small head, long thin neck and tail with a big body, seemed to match the appearance of the plesiosaur (蛇颈龙), an aquatic (水生的) type of dinosaur that has been extinct for 65 million years.

The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau was formed in 1962 to act as a research organization for information about the creature. Even now, efforts have continued to find the monster. A great deal of information was discovered about the Loch, but there isn’t any yet to produce any specific evidence of a monster.

Skeptics (怀疑论者) argue that the water in the Loch is too cold for a plesiosaur to live in. They also argue that an air-breathing animal, like a whale or seal, would spend much more time on the surface than the creature seems to, and would be spotted more often.

Some scientists have wondered if the sightings might be caused by an underwater wave which is known to sometimes occur in deep, long, and cold lakes, like Loch Ness. Such a wave might push debris (废弃物) to the surface that might look like a strange animal. However, none of these is identified.

【1】Which of the following is the CORRECT order for the things that happened in the passage?

a. A young student met with a monster crossing the road.

b. A swimmer was attacked by a monster in Loch Ness.

c. A new road was built along the edge of the Loch.

d. The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau was set up.

e. Three fishermen saw a creature swimming towards their boat.

A．b, e, c, a, d

B．a, b, e, d, c

C．b, d, a, c, e

D．d, c, e, b, a

【2】According to the skeptics, which of the following is TRUE?

A．It is impossible for a monster to live in cold water.

B．The Loch Ness Monster often stays under the water.

C．The Loch Ness Monster is an air-breathing animal.

D．There is no so-called monster in Loch Ness.

【3】What does this passage mainly talk about?

A．The natural scenery of Loch Ness.

B．The Nessie.

C．Skeptics’ opinions on Loch Ness Monster.

D．The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau’s research results.

28、   Dogs are usually regarded as the friends of human beings. Recently, a dog was filmed jumping onto the back of an ambulance as his owner was transported to hospital. The dog owner had been walking his pet when he fell ill in the city of Uruguaiana, Brazil. Emergency services were called to the scene and the man was placed into an ambulance to hospital. The dog, dressed in a little red jumper, did not run away instantly. Instead, he jumped onto the bumper(保险杠) of the ambulance, trying to follow his stricken owner as close as possible. The medical workers took pity on the sweet dog and opened the doors to allow him inside the ambulance.

The dog was reported to be waiting outside the hospital entrance as his owner was treated. Lots of social media users and those who spotted the dog at the hospital were attracted by the dog’s behavior. Many took photos and posted them on the Internet.

Local animal rescuer Maria Muniz, who lives near the hospital, said she saw the lonely dog and offered to take it in for the night until his owner recovered. However, the dog was unwilling to leave, keeping waiting at the spot. Luckily, he did not have to wait long before his owner left hospital and the pair were reunited. Maria Muniz said, “It was very moving. But thank God the owner was only hospitalized for 30 minutes. His family arrived to take him and his dog home. ”

29、Directions:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.

Taking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But did you know that showering can also benefit your mind?

A research by Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist from Yale University in the US interviewed over 3, 000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work.

So why does a simple shower have such magic power? 【1】

Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone closely related to our creativity.”People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist.”Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring”Aha！’moment to us.”

【2】 Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H. Carson, author of Your Creative Brain, “a showering hour may turn into an incubation(孵化)period’for your ideas.”

Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. 【3】 “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking, “explained Kaufman.”Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.”

Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it needn’t just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration. 【4】 So try to create your own way to free your mind, whether it’s a walk near the ocean, a country drive or reading a book at home.

A.Scientists are working hard to find out what makes a shower more enjoyable.

B.Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck with.

C.For instance, Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her.

D.In order to show that showering isn’t a big deal, an American hasn’t taken. a shower for 12 years.

E.When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity.

F.Science can explain it.
