21、   Sometimes we may find that every week there are a lot of new stories about how climate change is affecting the planet, or new plans to battle its effects. But the concept itself isn't new at all — in fact, scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.

The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth’s temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier's ideas spread, it came to be called “the greenhouse effect”.

Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.

Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Arrhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”.

While Arrhenius’ findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long-term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect — still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more careful of what he wished for.

【1】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．The climate change.

B．The greenhouse effect.

C．The atmosphere.

D．The heat from the sun.

【2】What's the author's attitude towards Arrhenius’ wish?

A．Optimistic.

B．Negative.

C．Neutral.

D．Ambiguous.

【3】What's the main idea of the text?

A．Causes of climate change.

B．Effects of greenhouse gases.

C．Findings about global warming.

D．Explorations on climate change.

22、I’m a rootless cosmopolitan (四海为家的人), so we’re moving the family to Spain for a year. The kids are up for it. Growing up with Anglophone (以英语为母语的人) parents in Paris, they speak French and English, and once you know one Romance language, learning another is a cinch.“Lexical similarity” is the measure of overlap between word sets of different languages. The lexical similarity between French and Spanish is about 0.75 (where 1 means identical).

I want the children to have such good Spanish that they can say everything, understand everything, have deep friendships and be fully themselves in the language for life. That’s what matters, not perfect grammar.

【1】 How should we think about learning languages in this era of global English and machine translation?

I spent an intensely rewarding decade learning German.Yet I now keep encountering younger Germans who insist on speaking their practically native English to me. This is true across Europe: about 98 per cent of pupils in primary and lower secondary schools in the EU are learning English.

Meanwhile, machine translation is catching up with the human sort. I’ve been having successful email exchanges with Spaniards by putting my English text through Google Translate. 【2】

The utility of language-learning will only keep diminishing. Already, many publications around the world now translate some of their articles into English. In five years’ time, Le Monde ( 《法国世界报》 ) and China’s Jiefang Daily could whack 20 articles a day through machine translation, hire underpaid young anglophones to polish them and soon they’ll be global newspapers.

The corollary (必然的结果) to all this: learning a language badly is becoming pointless. In my generation, people spent years at secondary school breaking their heads on French or German grammar. Most emerged able to order beers and perhaps read a basic news story. 【3】 Language teachers will disagree, but then they would, wouldn’t they? They have jobs to protect.

I’m equally skeptical of translators who insist they can never be replaced by a machine. True, machine translation is often faulty, machines can’t (yet) communicate through body language or eye contact, and some algorithms are sexist. For instance, in gender-free languages such as Turkish, today’s algorithms tend to assume an engineer is “he”.

【4】 One man did such a poor job translating a German text into English for publication in the Financial Times that I spent an afternoon rewriting it. Moreover, humans can produce sexist language without help from machines, and their algorithms are harder to adjust. In short, rather than spend years learning bad German, just install a translation app on your phone.

If you do learn a language, go for excellence. If you have children, immerse them in it from birth. Wall Streeters sending their kids to Mandarin-speaking preschools may be hilarious, but they are choosing the most efficient route.

A．But most human translators are faulty too.

B．It’s imperfect, but still much better than my Spanish.

C．Humans can do something machines can’t: ask each other for clarification.

D．But for all my emotional commitment to multilingualism, I know its usefulness has diminished.

E．I suspect they would have had a more enriching experience spending that time studying medicine, history or statistics.

F．The pleasure of mastering different language is something humankind will never lose.

23、   New York City is a world capital in every sense of the word—it's a cultural and economic powerhouse, and arguably the most influential city on the planet. But it wasn't always this way, as the following cities once dominated the world around them.

Djenne­Djenno

In the flood lands of the Niger delta people have been building houses and other structures with clay for centuries. The town of Djenne­Djenno is made entirely out of clay. It was inhabited as far back as 250 BC, and became an important link in the trans­Saharan gold trade(跨撒哈拉黄金交易). Constructed on hills called “toguere”， the city managed to escape the marshy(沼泽的) landscape and annual floods produced by the rainy season. Djenne­Djenno is believed to be one of the earliest settlements in the sub­Saharan region, and is considered by some to be “the typical African City”.

Archeological evidence shows us a continuous human presence in the area up until the 14th century AD, when people moved to the nearby town of Djenne, founded in the 11th century. Further evidence points out that even before the city's construction, the Bozo people were growing wild rice in the region. In the 13th century AD, with King Koumboro's conversion to Islam, its palace transformed into a mosque.

Carthage

Legend has it that Carthage was founded by Queen Dido of the Phoenicians. She fled the city of Tyre located in present­day Lebanon in order to escape the hatred of her brother Pygmalion, who was her rival to the throne. Along with a group of settlers, she traveled a great distance by sea and landed in North Africa, where she met King Iarbas. He offered to give them land in order to build a settlement, but no bigger than the surface covered by the hide(牛皮) of an ox. They cleverly cut the hide into thin strips and were able to enclose a fairly large area of land. On this land, the mighty city of Carthage was built.

These stories are most likely just that, but the fact that the Phoenicians built the city around 760 BC is true. Located in such a good position—in the middle of the Mediterranean, close to Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, and a pretty good distance from Egypt—helped make Carthage a leading trade center and military power. The population soon reached half a million citizens and, in order to house them all, buildings were all built five or six stories tall. Carthage was the first city in ancient times to have a centralized sewage system, linking all buildings within the city walls. The most notable of structures among the ruins was the “Thophet”， which is believed to be an altar(圣坛) for child sacrifice.

Tenochtitlan

Tenochtitlan was the capital city of the Aztec Empire. It was built on an island surrounded by Lake Texcoco deep inside the jungles of Central America. By the time the Spanish conquerors were aware of its existence, the population was around 200，000. This was a city very different from what the Europeans were used to. Founded in 1325 AD, the Aztec capital was joined to the mainland by three causeways(堤道). It was laid out in straight street grids and had enormous pyramids at its center, which were surrounded by the skulls of the dead and ceremonial sculptures.

【1】What do we know about the ancient cities?

A. Tenochtitlan was the first city to link all buildings within the city walls using a centralized sewage system.

B. Carthage was considered to have played an important role in the trans­Saharan gold trade.

C. There was no doubt that Carthage was founded by Queen Dido of the Phoenicians.

D. According to some people, the city Djenne­Djenno is “a typical African city”.

【2】The passage is most probably taken from ________.

A. a news report B. a science fiction C. a history book D. a research paper

24、A books-for-food program in Guatemala is helping feed needy children as hunger rates rise during the pandemic(疫情). It is run by a local nonprofit organization that aims to feed nearly 400 children.

The program is simple. People choose a book they want from a list of donated titles, and in return give bags of Incaparina, a high-protein drink mix. Bonifaz Diaz works for the program. By bringing the books-for-food program directly to people's homes, Diaz makes sure donations keep flowing. He has traveled more than 2,000 kilometers on his bicycle, delivered loads of books and carried back thousands of kilograms of Incaparina for the nonprofit group 32 Volcanoes. Diaz sometimes pulls a small cart that helps him carry up to 57 kilograms of product. He has traveled as far as 60 kilometers for a delivery to a town in the Western Highlands, where road conditions are poor.

Nearly a year into the books-for-food program, two more cyclists have joined Diaz and donations keep flowing in. Ana Castillo is a 29-year-old high school teacher who recently received the sociology book from Diaz. She donates to the program often. The 1.8 kilograms of Incaparina she provided will help one family eat for a month.

Castillo looks forward to choosing her books from the titles Diaz posts on social media. She also loves the feeling of a "growing circle" of giving and receiving. "You might not get to those places, but your help can. "she says.

Diaz says he plans to continue cycling against hunger as long as the need exists. He has faced his own economic difficulties since the theater company he co-founded closed last spring. But the program has kept him active. "It's an opportunity to serve in which we all benefit. "Diaz said.

【1】What is the purpose of the program?

A．To serve the readers.

B．To produce Incaparina.

C．To offer poor children food.

D．To fight the pandemic.

【2】What did Diaz do for the program?

A．He set up a social media.

B．He made donations frequently.

C．He rented a cart to carry goods.

D．He traveled to deliver books and food.

【3】How is the program going now?

A．More people are involved in it.

B．Only two cyclists work for it.

C．Over 400 adults benefit from it.

D．Financial difficulties put it to an end.

【4】Which word best describes Diaz's attitude towards the program?

A．Indifferent.

B．Supportive.

C．Tolerant.

D．Unwilling

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Ben was worried these days. His father Michael was diagnosed with Alzheimer disease.

Michael was once proud of his good memory. He would keep a note, a list of daily activities, in his pocket as a reminder in case he forgot something. Also, he would prepare Ben a similar note. The family would like to call it “the magic note”.

Michael loved his family. No matter how busy he was, he never failed to show himself at the school gate every day. He made it a duty to pick up Ben at 4: 30 p. m. in the kindergarten. When Ben grew into a big boy, he would still do his duty, but in a different way. He would wander about the school area at round 4:00 p.m., keep an eye on the school gate, and check his watch a thousand times before greeting Ben in a natural, yet awkward way.

“Hi, Ben.”

“Hi, Dad. What are you doing right here?”

“Well. I was just passing by. Well. You see. I grabbed some fruit for meal tonight.”

“Really?”

“Sure thing. Let’s go home. How is it today?”

Whenever Ben recalled these sweet moments, a wave of warmth swept through him.

However, Michacl’s condition was becoming worse recently. This week, he lost his way in the neighborhood once more. Ben attempted to keep him home in case he got lost again. “Are you joking? Me? AD? I know where I am and who you are.” Michael argued, “You are always the tenth to come out when the school day finished. You see. I remember everything about you, your voice and look!” Ben had no other choice but to put a note with the address and a phone number into his pocket.

This afternoon, when Michael was at home alone, he decided to get some fresh air outside. Though he kept telling himself not to go too far, he lost his way and ended up at a crossroads. “Where am I?” he whispered. He kept moving forward and found himself at a school gate, the gate of Ben’s primary school. Looking at his watch, he realized it was about 4:30 p.m. “Right! Ben is waiting for me!” he almost shouted.

“Not my Ben,” he sighed, putting his hand into his pocket habitually.
