21、阅读理解。

The Erie Canal was the first important national waterway built in the US.It crossed New York from Buffalo on Lake Erie Troy to Albany on the Hudson River.It joined the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean.The canal served as a route over which industrial goods could flow into the west,and materials could pour into the east.The Erie Canal helped New York develop into the nation’s largest city.

The building of the canal was paid for entirely by the state of New York.It cost $ 7,143,789,but it soon gained its price many times over.Between 1825,when the canal was opened,and 1882,when toll charges(过运河费) were stopped,the state collected $ 121,461,891.

For a hundred years before the Erie was built,people had been talking about a canal which could join the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean.The man who planned the Erie Canal and carried the plan through was De Witt Clinton.Those who were against the canal laughingly called it “Clinton’s Ditch(沟)”.Clinton talked and wrote about the canal and drew up plans for it.He and Governor Morris went to Washington in 1812 to ask for help for the canal,but they were unsuccessful.

Clinton became governor of New York in 1817,and shortly afterwards,on July 4,1817,broke ground for the canal in Rome,N,Y.The first part of the canal was completed in 1820.As the canal grew,towns along its course developed fast.The length of the canal is 363 miles.

22、As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices.【1】But others may not have crossed your mind. “A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the long run,” says preventive cardiologist Dr. Beth Abramson.

●Get eight hours of sleep.

“When you're not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful,” says Dr. Arya Sharma, a professor of medicine at the University of Alberta. If we're sleep deprived, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation and glucose levels.【2】

●【3】

Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress. Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in life is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. “We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health,” adds Sharma. “Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network.”

●Avoid polluted air.

Exposure to this kind of pollution over time raises your risk of heart disease. Inhaling contaminants formed from chemicals like Sulphur (硫) dioxide, carbon and nitrogen oxides may irritate arteries (动脉) and increase inflammation.【4】Try to get your outdoor exercise far away from highways and industrial districts, and spend more time indoors when the air quality index is poor.

●Eat breakfast.

A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who partook in a substantial morning meal. According to Abramson, you need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle.【5】If you're eating a proper breakfast, you’re less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices.

A．Be social and outgoing.

B．Engage in voluntary work.

C．There are physiological effects of this condition on the body.

D．These factors can all have an impact on cardiovascular (心血管的) health.

E．Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit.

F．Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known.

G．Even short periods of exposure are unhealthy for people with other health risks.

23、   With solar energy getting cheaper and cheaper, it is expected to become the most common way to produce electricity by 2050. But there is another way to create electricity from the sun. It's called “Concentrated Solar Power ( CSP)”. It works by using many special mirrors , called “heliostats” , to focus the sun's light to produce heat “Solar Thermal". CSP factories focus the light from their mirrors onto specially designed towers that can take the heat and then, usually by turning water into steam, turn it into electricity.

The biggest CSP plant in the world is Ivanpah in the Mojave Desert in California. Spain has several other large CSP factories. The highest temperature reached using concentrated solar power is 565°C. That' s hot enough to make electricity. But to make many common materials, much higher temperatures are needed. An American company called Heliogen has announced a new process that can reach extremely high temperatures using only the power of the sun，which could help clean up some of the world ' s most polluting processes, like making cement (水泥) that is currently responsible for around 7% of the world' s carbon dioxide pollution. Heliogen says its process has reached temperatures higher than 1 ,000°C for many times. At those temperatures, Heliogen ’s system could be used in the making of cement.

The company has been able to improve its process by doing a few things differently. For one . thing, the heliostats it uses are smaller, so they' re cheaper and it’s easier to make them reflect better. Another big improvement is the special computer system that Heliogen developed to watch and adjust the heliostats so that they are always focused continuously.

Heliogen says confidently that in the future it hopes to reach temperatures as hot as 1 ,500°C. At that temperature, it is even possible to create fuel, not causing pollution. Though Heliogen’s process is new and offers several improvements over existing CSP methods, the company is still a long way from putting their system to work in the real world.

【1】What do the towers in CSP plants do first?

A.Reflect the mirrors ’light. B.Hold the heliostats.

C.Produce solar energy. D.Contain “Solar Thermal".

【2】What is special about the Heliogen’s new process?

A.It can slow down climate change. B.It gets extremely hot by itself.

C.It's more environment-friendly. D.It can produce solar energy.

【3】What can Heliogen’s special computer system do?

A.Lower the cost of the heliostats. B.Make the heliostats work better.

C.Force the heliostats to take breaks. D.Stop the heliostats being damaged.

【4】What is the author' s attitude towards the Heliogen ’s new process?

A.Curious. B.Cautious.

C.Confident. D.Contradictory.

24、Migrating (迁徙) terns may change their flight plans based on a keen sense of approaching typhoons, escaping the impact of the storms but still benefiting from feeding opportunities in their wakes.

Researchers at the Yamashina Institute for Ornithology examined data recorded by tracking devices on six blacknaped terns from Okinawa, Japan, to learn more about the birds’ migrations over multiple years. The terns flew across part of the Philippine Sea’s typhoon highway to get to the islands of Borneo and Sulawesi and varied their departure times — often apparently waiting to leave until a large typhoon was about to cross their projected path.

They seem to be able to predict it, says Jean-Baptiste Thiebot, a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Polar Research and lead author of the new study, which was published in June in Marine Biology. The study offers few clues about how terns might do this, but other research suggests some migrating birds detect weather signals or observe changing clouds.

The terns Thiebot studied typically avoided the typhoons themselves. But these storms can bring food to the ocean surface, so their immediate aftermath may help the hungry travelers. They might actually use the typhoon to know when to leave for their migrations each year, Thiebot says. In the unusually quiet 2017 season, without a strong typhoon cue, the birds started their journeys later and flew without pit stops. Thiebot would like to see this pattern confirmed in a larger study. He also worries that increasing typhoon frequency could affect birds' prediction accuracy, potentially getting them caught in dangerous weather.

Robert Gill, a wildlife biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, who was not involved in the work, says that although the study’s sample size is small, it adds to scientists’ overall understanding of migration. He has studied shorebirds that time their migrations based partly on incoming storms, but little research has delved(探究)into this behavior. “They are able to predict better than the best weather forecasters we have,” Gill says, “but they’ve also had tens of thousands, if not millions, of years to develop that skill.

【1】Why did the terns vary their departure times?

A．They were tracked by devices.

B．They waited until a typhoon died down.

C．They flew across part of the typhoon highway.

D．They wanted to take advantage of upcoming typhoons.

【2】According to the study, how do typhoons affect seabirds?

A．They can be the pit stops for seabirds.

B．They might change seabirds’ migration routes.

C．They can provide seabirds with food in their wakes.

D．They might influence the accuracy of seabirds’ prediction.

【3】Which of the statements may Robert Gill agree with?

A．Seabirds are the best weather forecasters ever.

B．The study leads to an overall understanding of migration.

C．Seabirds’ skill of prediction is acquired through evolution.

D．Thiebot’s findings are not convincing for lack of adequate evidence.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Typhoons cause great danger to seabirds.

B．Typhoons trigger the migration of seabirds.

C．Seabirds encounter difficulty while migrating.

D．Seabirds anticipate typhoons to help their migration.
