22、Climate Science fiction (cli-fi) authors have been exploring the impact of weather-gone-wild for decades. Here are a few of them that still ring true today.

The Crystal World

J. G. Ballard is often considered the godfather of cli-fi. The famous British author’s novels of the 1960s, including The Burning World, The Drowned World and The Wind From Nowhere, imagine terrible climate-based disasters.

But they’re all too gentle in nature compared with his first truly mature work, The Crystal World. In a sense, The Crystal World is a horror novel-instead of the horror happening to a person, it’s happening to Earth.

Hothouse

Brian Aldiss’ Hothouse—a series of short stories published in 1962-remains one of the most extreme visions of climate change. In it, Earth of the furthest future has changed so completely that it’s nearly unrecognizable. Humans struggle to survive in this strange world of heat waves—which, admittedly, isn’t very scientifically possible but is all the more wonderful because of Aldiss’ unbound imagination.

The Ice Schooner

The climate change in Michael Moorcock’s 1969 novel The Ice Schooner is man-made in a different way: It’s caused by a long, extreme winter that settles around Earth following a nuclear war. The book presents a world where a new ice age has resulted in a frozen planet. There’s nothing scientific about Moorcock’s setting. But it does warn, in its own way, of the disastrous climate change that humanity can bring to the world.

Ice

Anna Kavan’s Ice, like Ballard’s The Crystal World, is filled with far more symbolism than the typical early cli-fi novel. In the freezing environment of Kavan’s 1967 book, a nuclear war has led to massive global climate change that has turned the world into another Siberia.

【1】Which book contains the most frightening scenes?

A．The Burning World.

B．The Drowned World.

C．The Crystal World.

D．The Wind From Nowhere.

【2】Who wrote Hothouse?

A．Anna Kavan.

B．Brian Aldiss.

C．J. G. Ballard.

D．Michael Moorcock.

【3】What do the last two novels have in common?

A．They are based on scientific evidence.

B．They were published in the same year.

C．They are about heat waves in the world.

D．They imagine the results of a nuclear war.

23、   Trucker Gerlock traveled hundreds of thousands of miles with his dog, Holly, who came with him on every route—including his last one. While driving near Dallas, Texas, on the job, the 59-year-old Marylander crashed into a concrete column. Gerlock was killed instantly. Looking in the back of the truck, though, rescue drivers found one survivor.

Rescue workers cut the Chesapeake Bay retriever(切萨皮克海湾寻回犬)—practically untouched—out of the back of the truck, where she’d been sleeping. “It’s amazing that anything survived, ”Sandy Nordhoff, friend of Gerlock, told The Kent County News.

Unsure what happened to Holly, Gerlock’s friends from his town of Rock Hall, Maryland, made numerous calls and emails to agencies in order to find out where the dog was. Eventually, they found out she had been staying in Dallas Animal Services shelter and a foster family had taken her in for Thanksgiving. The Rock Hall locals hatched a plan to get her home.

Joe Creighton and Sandy’s husband, Russell Nordhoff, both lifelong friends of Gerlock, volunteered to make the 2, 800-mile trip from Rock Hall to Dallas and back, which took two days each way. The friends borrowed Gerlock’s pickup truck for the road, so Holly would feel more comfortable on the journey home, according to The Kent County News.

Back in Rock Hall, some of Gerlock’s friends adopted Holly. Ever since, the dog has been a town icon(偶像), making an appearance in almost every town parade.

“The outpouring of love shown towards Gerlock and Holly was heartwarming, ”Rock Hall resident Jamie Elburn tells Reader's Digest. “It shows how the companionship of‘man’s best friend’and simple kindness can overcome even the most difficult situation!”

【1】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 indicate?

A．She was nowhere to be found.

B．She was put in an animal shelter.

C．She was sent back home immediately.

D．She was adopted by a foster family.

【3】What can we infer about the work on getting Holly back home?

A．It was painstaking.

B．It was full of danger.

C．It tumed out to be interesting.

D．It required much experience.

【4】How did Jamie Elburn feel about the whole story?

A．Sympathetic.

B．Grateful.

C．Shocked.

D．Touched.

Footage from the vehicle's data recorder released shows a female passenger—identified by authorities as Liu,48—arguing with the driver surnamed Ran, at the time of the accident．

began to hit him with her cell phone, causing Ran to lose control of the vehicle. The bus crossed into the wrong lane before colliding with an oncoming vehicle and hitting the guardrail．

Netizens and media commentators have called for improved safety measures on public transport, as well as greater awareness of the rules among passengers.
