21、In the cold and plain living room, Matt is sitting in his chair. His eyes don’t shine anymore. His skin is wrinkled (有皱纹的) and pale. He looks extremely old and weak. Today is his birthday, and he is by himself. The only thing that he has been doing all day is thinking about how sad and lonely his life is. As he was looking at some old pictures, he found one special with him and his friends from college. This picture brought back the days when he had friends and his life was full of happiness. Also, it brought him a sad memory. This memory happened forty years ago, during his last year of college.

Through college, Matt has a friend named Mark. Mark was tall and thin. He wore a thick glass. He was shy, smart and responsible. Also, Mark didn’t have as many friends as Matt did. He considered Matt as his best friend. As good friends, Matt and Mark went bowling together, they knew everything about each other, and they hung out. Also, they overcame many problems together. They were really good friends.

On his twenty-fourth birthday their life changed. On the night before Matt’s birthday, Mark called Matt, but his voice sounded strange. He said, “I have an important project to work on. I am having some problems with this. Maybe, you could come over and help me with it. Could you?” Matt asked, “What time?” Mark kept in silence for a minute, then he said, “Is 8 p.m. good for you?” Then Matt answered, “OK! See you later.” At the night, it was Matt’s birthday. So, he didn’t want to spend his birthday helping Mark with his project. Matt went to a club with some other guys.

22、   Perhaps the most common climatic effect of global warming is rapid extension of ice melt. Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa and the Himalayas will very likely lose most of their glacial ice within the next two decades, affecting local water resources. NASA scientists determined Greenland’s ice sheet is thinning by about 1m per year. The additional melt water, especially from continental ice masses and glaciers, is adding to a rise in sea level worldwide. Satellite remote sensing is monitoring global sea level, sea ice, and continental ice. Worldwide measurements confirm that sea level rose during the last century.

Okay, so how much is melting of Greenland contributing to sea level rise? Estimates are about 270 gigatons of water per year. The melting of an ice sheet can occur from the surface as air temperatures and sunlight warm the upper layer of ice. It can also occur from the edges as ice shelves collapse and fall into the oceans in large pieces. The bedrock underneath the ice sheet is not also flat. There are undulations that rise and fall and change the water-ice-ground connection, which can make it easier for ice to melt and can increase the rate of ice shelf collapse. So scientists have a real interest in learning about the land underneath ice sheets so that they can better predict ice collapse and sea level rise.

Greenland ice has its feature, meaning it acts slowly but once it gets going, it’s hard to stop. So predicting how fast this melt will take is interesting from a scientific advantage point but there are also enormous social and economic consequences. Right now, 150 million people live within 3 feet of today’s sea level. If you live near the coast, the question of “when” is really important. This suggests that “when” may be sooner than we hoped.

【1】What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?

A.A rapid extension of ice melt. B.Himalayan ice.

C.Greenland’s ice sheet. D.A big rise of sea level.

【2】What probably speed(s) the bottom melting of an ice sheet in Greenland?

A.The rise of sea level. B.The undulant bedrock.

C.The temperature and sunlight. D.The shape of ice sheet.

【3】Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.Greenland ice is sure to melt as fast as before.

B.Scientist are indifferent to the melt of Greenland ice.

C.Greenland ice is a potential danger to people living near the coast.

D.People living within 3 feet of today’s sea level will have to move next year.

【4】In which programme does this text probably appear?

A.Historical Legend. B.Planet Earth.

C.Bear Grylls: Mission Survive. D.Beyond the Red Carpet.

23、   The starting point of herd immunity (群体免疫) for COVID-9 is still uncertain , but many epidemiologists (流行病学家) believe it will be reached when between 60 percent and 80 percent of the population has been infected and develops resistance. A lower level of immunity in the population can slow the spread of a disease somewhat, but the herd immunity number            represents the point where infections are generally less likely to turn into large outbreaks.

Studies that use the tests to examine only a small quantity of population, often called serology (血清学) surveys, are being undertaken around America and the world. The purpose of these new studies is to look for antibodies (抗体) in people’s blood, proteins produced by the immune system that indicate a past infection.

An advantage of the tests is that they can pick out people who may have been infected and didn’t know they were sick. A disadvantage is that the tests are sometimes wrong---and several studies, including a notable one in California, have been criticized for not taking the possibility of inaccurate results into consideration or for not representing the whole population.

While these studies are far from perfect, many countries, including parts of Sweden, are on track to achieve so-called herd immunity from the novel coronavirus-caused COVID-19 disease within weeks. In general, they give a better sense of how far the coronavirus has truly spread and its potential for spreading further. The starting point of herd immunity may differ from place to place, depending on factors like density and social interaction.

【1】What do we know about herd immunity number from the text?

A．The higher level of it, the better.

B．The lower level of it, the worse.

C．It is a point indicating a small number of infections.

D．It is a point indicating little chance of large outbreaks.

【2】What kind of people can we get antibodies from?

A．People who are sick.

B．People who are always healthy.

C．People who were once infected.

D．People who were killed by the disease.

【3】What is the third paragraph mainly about ?

A．The contents of the studies.

B．Two sides of the studies.

C．The procedure of the studies.

D．The results of the studies.

【4】Which of the following best describe the author’s attitude towards the studies?

A．He or she supports them.

B．He or she doubts their authority.

C．He or she thinks them perfect.

D．He or she partially believes in them.

24、阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Do we need to be perfect to feel good about ourselves? The answer is “No” 【1】 What we need, instead, is to have a sense of ourselves as generally worthwhile.

Self-affirmation (自我肯定) theory emphasizes the importance of remembering our good points. 【2】 If you think only about your bad singing, you may feel that you are silly and that nobody could really be interested in you. You can say, “Well, I can't sing, but never mind, I'm good at other things.”

【3】 A study found that people who had done poorly on a maths test would usually be discouraged and perform equally badly a second time. However, when reminded of what they loved in a word search task in between the two tests, they got over their first failure and performed the second maths test much better. In other words, just thinking of something they felt good about enabled people to show more skill at a less comfortable task.

【4】 This is an exercise to do every night before you go to sleep.

1. Think of three good things that happened today, These things don't need to be major; they could be as simple as “ I had a nice lunch” Just as long as you enjoyed them.

2. Write therm down.

3. 【5】 You can find your own explanations, be it “The world is a beautiful place” or “I planned my day very smartly.”

The point is to let your brain experience the pleasure of following positive cause and effect.

A．Try These Three Good Things

B．Self-affirmation can have surprisingly wide-ranging effects.

C．We tend to spend a lot of time reflecting on how to fix ourselves.

D．There are always things we can't do or qualities we lack.

F．Reflect on why they happened.

G．Suppose you have a terrible singing voice.
