21、   Human activities are damaging our marine environment, and ocean pollution threatens human health, a new research has uncovered. The research was conducted by an international research team that published their results in the journal Annals of Global Health. They wrote about the widespread damage to the oceans by the actions of humans, which in turn also cause damage to human health. The researchers also made several recommendations regarding solutions to lessen these damages.

The study detailed the latest scientific findings of the critical role that the oceans play in our health and the health of our planet. It also examined the key factors damaging ocean health. With the increase in temperatures worldwide, the melting of sea ice also increases. It causes an increase in harmful bacteria and algae （藻类）into waters that were unpolluted in the past.

Coastal populations are threatened by the rise in sea level and the increasing frequency and violence of coastal storms. The increase of carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere increases ocean acidity （酸度），which destroys sensitive food chains in the ocean. Climate change also worsens ocean pollution

According to the study's author Philip Landrigan, who is also a professor and Boston College Global Observatory on Pollution & Health director, the pollution in the ocean is a major problem. It is getting worse and is directly affecting human health. Landrigan also adds that the ocean's plastic pollution is not the entirety of the problem.

According to Landrigan, the toxic pollutants that are dumped into our oceans are finding their way into people's bodies. The pathway is mainly through the consumption of polluted seafood. The most severely affected sectors include those fishing communities and small island countries. Their lives are dependent on the health of the ocean.

The research team suggests several measures to turn the situation around and save our oceans and our health, hoping that human activities change for the better so that ocean pollution is stopped and human health is improved.

【1】What did the researchers find in their new study?

A.Oceans are becoming more and more polluted.

B.Oceans get back on humans for their activities.

C.Oceans are faced with the increasing temperature.

D.Oceans are being threatened by bacteria and algae.

【2】What would happen with the rise of acidity in waters?

A.Coastal storms will occur regularly and violently.

B.The harmful bacteria and algae will grow faster.

C.The ocean food chains will be poorly damaged.

D.Climate change over the oceans will be worse.

【3】What can we learn according to Landrigan?

A.The plastic pollution is a tough problem.

B.Toxic pollutants will be deadly to the fish.

C.The ocean pollution puts people at risk.

D.Plastics most seriously pollute the oceans.

【4】What does the author want to tell in the passage?

A.How ocean pollution damages human health.

B.What has caused the oceans' severe pollution.

C.How humans can find practical solutions.

D.What situation the oceans are exposed to.

22、Derek Veal found an old suitcase filled with photos, some more than 100 years old, when he explored his grandfather’s old house in Georgia. It belonged to his great-grandmother, who had Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症)and lived in a nursing home. Veal and his grandfather went to visit her with the photos, hoping she could tell them more about the photos. What happened next changed Veal’s life.

“Everything came back to her when she saw these pictures,” Veal said. “She recognized her sisters, her aunts, her grandparents…It was the first time I had ever seen someone’s excitement from an old photo returning to them.”

The experience made Veal realize the power of old photos to hold precious and long-forgotten memories and restore a sense of identity. It never left him. Two years ago, when he came across old family photos for sale at a thrift store(旧货店), he decided to pick one picture and try to track down the family. Soon, he was inspired to buy more photos and started a Facebook group called Old Photo Project to aid in finding their families.

Veal is not alone in this hobby. David Gutenmacher, 26, lives in Queens, New York, and started his project, Museum of Lost Memories, in late 2020. He has already had over 300,000 followers on Instagram and over 750,000 on TikTok. “Some of my posts have gone viral and twice a person or family was tracked down in a matter of minutes!” Gutenmacher said. These lost pictures can bring the memories back to the families they belong to.

What makes this hobby so unique is not only how it gives people the chance to help others, but it also brings these enthusiasts a sense of purpose. “I feel like this is my calling,” said Gutenmacher. “The more I return memories, the more it feels like I’m supposed to be doing this.”

【1】According to the text, what changed Veal’s life?

A．His awareness of the value of old photos.

24、   These days, nobody needs to cook. Families graze on high-cholesterol（胆固醇）take-aways and microwaved ready-meals. Cooking is an occasional hobby and a vehicle for celebrity chefs, which makes it odd that the kitchen has become the heart of the modern house. What the great hall was to the medieval castle, the kitchen is to the 21st - century home.

The money spent on kitchens has risen with their status. In America the kitchen market is now worth $ 170 billion, five times the country's film industry. In the year to August 2007, the Swedish furniture chain IKEA sold over one million kitchens worldwide. The average budget for a "major" kitchen overhaul in 2006, calculates Remodeling magazine, was a staggering $ 54,000, even a "minor" improvement cost on average $ 18,000.

Exclusivity, more familiar in the world of high fashion, has reached the kitchen: Robinson & Cornish, a British manufacturer of custom-made-kitchens, offers a Georgian-style one, which would cost 145,000 to 155,000 pounds -- excluding building, plumbing and electrical work. Its big selling point is that nobody else will have it: "You won't see this kitchen anywhere else in the word."

The elevation of the room that once belonged only to the servants for the modern family tells the story of a century of social change. Right into the early 20th century, kitchens were smoky, noisy places, generally located underground, or to the back of the house, as far from living space as possible. That was as it should be: kitchens were for servants, and the aspiring middle classes wanted nothing to do with them.

But as the working classes prospered and the servant shortage set in, housekeeping became a matter of interest to the educated classes. One of the pioneers of a radical new way of thinking about the kitchen was Catharine Esther Beecher, sister of Harriet Beecher Stowe. In American Human's Home, published in 1869, the Beecher sisters recommended a scientific approach to household management, designed to enhance the efficiency of a woman's work and promote order. Many contemporary ideas about kitchen design can be traced back to another American, Chris Frederick, who set about enhancing the efficiency of the housewife. Her 1919 work, House-Engineering: Scientific Management in the Home, was based on detailed observation of a wife's daily routine. She borrowed the principle of efficiency on the factory floor and applied mystic tasks on the kitchen floor.

Frederick's central idea, that "stove, sink and kitchen table must be placed in such a relation that useless steps are avoided entirely," inspired the first fully fitted kitchen, designed in the 1920s by Mangarete Schutter Libotsky. It was a modernist triumph, and many elements remain central features of today's kitchen.

【1】What does the author say about the kitchen of today?

A.It is where housewives display their cooking skills.

B.It is where the family entertains important guests.

C.It has become something odd a modern house.

D.It is regarded as the center of a modern home.

【2】Why does the Georgian-style kitchen sell at a very high price?

A.It is believed to have tremendous artistic value.

B.There will be no kitchen exactly the same anywhere.

C.It is manufactured by a famous British company.

D.No other manufacturer can produce anything like it.

【3】What was the Beecher sisters' idea of a kitchen?

A.A place where women could work more efficiently.

B.A place where high technology could be applied.

C.A place of interest to the educated people.

D.A place to experiment with new ideas.

【4】What do we learn about today's kitchen?

A.It represents the rapid technological advance in people's daily life.

B.Many of its central features are no different from those of the 1920s.

C.It has been transformed beyond recognition.

D.Many of its functions have changed greatly.
