21、In only a few months, a disease has completely changed the world. Thousands of people have died and millions of people have fallen ill. For the rest of us, our way of life has become totally different.

From New York to London, the busiest pubs and theaters have been left empty. International flights are being canceled. People are working from home. These are all aimed at controlling the spread of the COVID-19. However, all of these changes have also led to another unexpected benefit: a drop in carbon emissions（碳排放）. Compared with this time last year, levels of pollution in New York have been reduced by nearly 50 percent.

So will the COVID-19 turn out to save the environment?

Kimberly Nicholas is an environmental scientist in Sweden. To answer that question, she says, you have to find out why emissions have dropped. Take transport as an example. It makes up 23 percent of global carbon emissions. These emissions have fallen as people are staying at home. Nicholas says they will remain lowered until the COVID-19 is totally brought under control. But what will happen after this outbreak（爆发）is over?

“It’s hard to say,” Nicholas says. While staying at home, many people have realized the importance of family. In the short term, some people will still avoid travel and spend time with their families instead. However, some people are feeling bored after not being out for a long time. They are eager to return to their old habits and may even travel more often. If that happens, transport-related emissions could come back.

But Nicholas says she and many other scientists have seen hope. The outbreak of the COVID-19 shows that at the national and international level, if we need to take action, we can. When we look out for each other, we all can make a big difference.

【1】From New York to London, people are working from home in order to ________.

A．save time

B．make less carbon emissions

C．save money

D．control the spread of the COVID-19

【2】According to Kimberly Nicholas, will the COVID-19 save the Earth in the end?

A．Yes, it will save the Earth in the end.

B．No, it won’t save the Earth in the end.

C．The COVID-19 will only cause more pollution in the end.

D．It’s hard to say whether it will save the Earth or not.

【3】According to Nicholas, some people will still avoid travel for some time after the COVID-19 outbreak is over because ________.

A．they want to continue to save the Earth

B．they have lost their interest in traveling

C．they have realized the importance of family

D．they don’t have enough money to travel abroad

【4】Why has Nicholas seen hope?

A．Because she has discovered a new method of saving the Earth.

B．Because she has seen that people can take action if they need to.

C．Because many people have changed their attitudes towards family.

D．Because more and more people have realized the seriousness of climate change.

【5】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．New York has shown a record drop in pollution after the COVID-19 broke out.

B．Nobody has been killed by the COVID-19.

C．Most people will travel more often after the COVID-19 outbreak is over.

D．The COVID-19 would make the Earth cleaner.

22、When I was a kid, I got interested in astronomy (天文学). I often watched northern lights in my hometown in Lapland. I used to wonder how big the universe might be and what are “behind” the stars. But as I grew up and finally went to college, I hardly had any time to develop my hobby because of too much homework. It was in 2009 that I rediscovered astronomy. I found an astronomy magazine in a library and immediately I got interested in astronomy again.

When I start reading astronomy books and magazines, I start finding out how many interesting things there are outside the planet. I realize that the information I am reading, hearing and watching opens a door to a huge world of interesting things.

However, I do not have much time for my hobbies. Many times I would like to observe an object in the night sky, but I am working or I have to look after my kids. So I share my hobbies with my kids. I encourage them to observe the stars together with me. I read kids’ astronomy books for them and tell them about the moon, stars, the sun and many other interesting things. We all find it interesting at the same time.

I enjoy astronomy as a hobby and I hope other parents like me can read books and magazines about it. Just imagine that you and your family sitting together watching the stars and talking in the yard on a summer night! How cool it will be!

【1】The writer got interested in astronomy when ________.

A．the writer was married when she took her hobby for the second time

24、   The giraffe is the tallest modern land animal. It can be over 5. 5 meters tall. Its neck bone may be 1. 9 meters long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones (骨头) in its neck, the same number as in the human. Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than in a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffe’s neck is very long, while the bones in a human’s neck are small. That makes the difference. A female giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby, called a calf, is about 1. 9 meters tall at birth. By the age of eight it is full-grown. The giraffe can live for 30 years; the giraffe is good at running; it can run 30 kilometers per hour. The giraffe likes to live together, usually 7-10 a group. The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck, it can reach the leaves high up on the trees.

判断下列句子的正误，正确的填（T）错误的填（F）

【1】The giraffe is the tallest modern animal living in the land.

【2】the giraffe has more bones in its neck than that in the human.

【3】The bones in a giraffe’s neck is very small and short.

【4】The giraffe can run 30,000 meters per hour .

【5】Since giraffes are very tall and strong, they live alone.
