22、   An international team has identified two areas in China where the scale of carbon dioxide absorption by new forests has been underestimated. Taken together, these areas account for a little over 35% of China's entire land carbon “sink”, the group says.

The two previously under-appreciated carbon sink areas are centred on China's southwest, in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi; and its northeast, particularly Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces.

These provinces have established a pattern of rapid afforestation of progressively larger regions, with provincial forest areas increasing by between 0.04 million and 0.44 million hectares per year over the past 10 to 15 years.

“Bold scientific statements must be supported by massive amounts of evidence and this is what we have done in this study.” Professor Paul Palmer, a co-author from Edinburgh University told the BBC.

“We have collected together a range of ground-based and satellite data-driven evidence to form a consistent and robust narrative about the Chinese carbon cycle.”

China's increasing leafiness has been evident for some time. Billions of trees have been planted in recent decades, to deal with desertification and soil loss, and to establish vibrant timber and paper industries.

Data from NASA Earth satellites shows that human activity in China and India dominate this greening of the planet, thanks to tree planting and agriculture. Satellite data (2000—2017) reveal a greening pattern that is strikingly remarkable in China and India and overlaps with croplands world-wide.

China alone accounts for 25% of the global net increase in leaf area with only 6.6% of global vegetated area.

【1】According to the passage, which of the following is true about the two newly-identified areas?

A．They are based on Southeast and Northwest China.

B．Their forests have absorbed over 35% of China’s carbon dioxide.

C．They take up over one third of China’s entire land carbon sink areas.

D．Their forest areas have increased from 0.04 to 0.44 million hectares per year.

【2】China has planted more trees in recent decades in order to _________.

A．keep the soil fertile

B．set up more factories

C．turn the deserts into green land

D．prevent useful land from changing into desert

【3】The passage is most probably taken from _________.

A．a science fiction

B．a news website

C．an academic report

D．a travelling brochure

【4】Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?

A．Carbon Sink Areas in China

B．China Aims High in Afforestation

C．China and India Lead the Way in Greening

D．China's Forest Carbon Absorption Underestimated

23、   Years of exposure to Americans has, at last, convinced me of something about their food culture. I now think they’re correct in one of life’s great dilemmas: when eating at a restaurant, it is really fine to politely send your food back if it is not what you ordered, or covered in cheese when you asked for no cheese, etc.

Of course, the idea makes me feel anxious; the British fear of making a scene is planted in my soul. But what persuaded me, in the end, was realizing how self-centered that fear actually is. Are you really such a big deal that your no-cheese request will embarrass your fellow diners, ruin the waiter's day, and send waves of shock through the kitchen? Face it: you're not. Instead, you're in the situation of what might be termed “egocentric reticence (以自我为中心的沉默).”

Egocentric reticence raised its head again the other day in a study about gratitude, which found that people underestimate how much delight a thank-you note can bring. The psychologists Amit Kumar and Nicholas Epley had people send grateful messages to someone who'd made a difference to their lives. Again and again, they found, senders assumed their words would lead to less happiness and more awkwardness than they really did, and that recipients would judge their letter-writing competence cruelly, too. Even in the seemingly selfless context of expressing gratitude, senders couldn’t help giving too much weight to their own perspective. So if you stop yourself from sending someone a thank-you note because you're worried you'll make them feel awkward or annoyed, you are letting egocentrism prevent an action that would have made both of you happier.

The most acute form of egocentric reticence, surely, is extreme shyness. “Shyness is just egotism out of its depth,” famous actress Penelope Keith once told an interviewer. The quote was later regarded as a line the writer Sadie Stein credits with curing her own shyness. “For some reason, the clear cruelty of that quote was what I needed, ” Stein wrote. “OK, I thought... No one is looking at you.”

【1】Before contacting Americans, the author thought sending restaurant food back was ________.

A．certainly a customer's right

B．fine to do just in some cultures

C．acceptable but not worthy sometimes

D．embarrassing and would cause trouble

【2】If someone is in a situation of egocentric reticence, he might ________.

A．hesitate to do something due to self-centered reasons

B．keep sending waves of shock to others

C．be ignorant of other people's feelings

D．do something extremely embarrassing

【3】What did the study about gratitude find?

A．People may regard sending grateful messages unimportant.

B．It's common for Americans to send a thank-you letter.

C．It's important to thank others after being helped.

D．People often take a thank-you note for granted.

【4】What does Sadie Stein's story tell us?

A．We sometimes need shyness to behave well.

B．We should pay no attention to other people's thoughts.

C．We can overcome our shyness by removing our egotism.

D．We should avoid being exposed to other people's focus.

24、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A HOLIDAY jet pilot (飞行员) said that he would land and call the police after a woman refused to stop smoking.

He warned Maureen Harkavy, “Put that cigarette out, or I’ll land the plane and have you arrested.”

Maureen, 47, was so shocked she wrote to the airline’s chairman. But his reply was even ruder.

“You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbours’ atmosphere,” wrote John Ferriday of Paramount Airways.

(a)Said Maureen, “I only found out about it when I was checking in. I’m a nervous flyer so I lit a cigarette during the flight.

(b) I’ve never seen such an unpleasant letter. She said, “I don’t think I’ll ever fly again.” But there was a funny side. Maureen explained, “We were offered duty-free (免税) cigarette from the stewardess on the plane!”

(c) Mr. Ferriday went on; “Believe me, you haven’t. Especially when you travel on my planes.”

Maureen and her husband Michael were moved to Paramount flight just before they left Portugal. But they were not told of the company’ s (公司的) no smoking policy.

(d) “He was loud and rude,” said Maureen. “He said if I lit another cigarette he would land the plane at Bordeaux and hand me to the French police.”

Later, from her home in Mosely, Birmingham, Maureen wrote to the company and received the rude reply.
