21、   Which topic drew the most attention from people around the world in 2019? It was climate change, according to three well-known English dictionaries.

The Oxford, Collins and Cambridge dictionaries chose climate emergency（气候紧急状态）,climate strike （罢工） and upcycling（升级改造）,as their ―Word of the Year‖. This tells us that climate change was a widely-discussed issue（重要议题）in 2019. Climate emergency means a situation in which urgent（紧急的）action is needed to reduce climate change. ―Climate strike refers to people leaving work or school to call for more action to protect the environment. ―Upcycling refers to making new items out of old or used items to reduce waste.

Climate change has already affected（影响）the world in many ways. Take Venice for example. Because of climate change, Venice experienced the worst flooding it has seen in the last 50 years in 2019.Many stores, restaurants and hotels were flooded. This caused serious damage totaling hundreds of millions of euros（欧元）.

Although we’ve known about global warming for a long time, our large companies and governments have been slow to respond to it. The year 2019 might have been the turning point that will finally encourage（鼓励）our leaders to take responsibility（责任）.

Decades ago, when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the impacts（影响）could be seen as an issue for future generations,‖ Katharine Mach, a Stanford University climate scientist, told The New York Times. It’s surely our responsibility now.

However, simply realizing that climate change is a threat(威胁) is not enough. We must take real action before it is too late.

【1】According to the three dictionaries, people in 2019 cared about ________the most.

A.environmental protection B.international business

C.recycling services D.the overuse of natural resources

【2】The flooding in Venice is mentioned to_________.

A.prove that Venice is not a safe place to visit

B.explain why Venice suffered serious damage

C.show how climate change has affected the world

D.explain how the climate changed in 2019

【3】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph4 mean?

A.Large companies and governments haven’t known anything about global warming.

B.Large companies and governments didn’t take action at once when facing global warming

C.It’s only large companies and governments’ responsibility to solve the problem of global warming

D.Large companies and governments have done a lot to solve the problem of global warming.

【4】What does Mach mean in Paragraph 5?

A.Many scientists are working on the climate issue.

B.The climate issue will affect only future generations.

C.Future generations will suffer more than us.

D.It’s our responsibility to deal with climate change.

【5】This passage is probably______.

A.a notice B.a story C.a piece of news D.a poem

23、Deep in the forest of southeastern Mexico, scientists found a surprise. They found an ancient pyramid. There were colorful murals（壁画）in it. Those murals are helping scientists learn about people living in ancient times.

The murals are about 1,350 years old. That’s more than five times older than the United States. The U.S.A is 245 years old. Scientists say the paintings belonged to the Mayas, a group of native American people. They lived many years ago here—now it is Mexico and Central America.

Scientists are excited about the findings because they don’t know much about the Mayas’ daily life. The paintings show how the Mayas worked, shopped and dined. One mural shows a man drinking from a bowl. Another shows a woman selling food to a group of people.

“Usually the murals we get are about gods and kings, never anything about the daily life,” one scientist said. “But this is like walking into a Maya market.” So far, scientists have found more than 30 murals in the pyramid. They are not sure why the Mayas created them. The scientists hope to learn more as they continue their study.

Scientists learned a lot about the Mayas from the murals. The Mayas were known for more than paintings. Now the murals tell us some fun facts about the Mayan way of life. For example, ...

【1】When did the Mayas create the murals?

A．In around 245.

B．In about 671.

C．In around 1350.

D．In about 1776.

【2】What is special about the murals?

A．They show gods and kings.

B．They show the secret of pyramids.

C．They show scenes of Mayan everyday life.

D．They show the reasons of creating them.

【3】What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 4?

A．Murals.

B．Pyramids.

C．Mayan markets.

D．Gods and kings.

【4】At the end of the article, what fun facts may the writer not talk about?

A．The Mayas grew sweet potatoes.

B．Mayan men dressed up with some cloth.

C．Maya grew stronger in the ancient world.

D．The Mayas used tree bark to make books.
