21、To move towards a healthier future while meeting the rise in demand for delivery services, many of the world’s cities have started replacing cars and trucks with cargo (货物) bikes. 【1】 . And they indicate a step towards creating a more eco-friendly urban lifestyle.
Studies have already shown that cargo bikes save 90 percent in carbon emissions, making them a much cleaner way to deliver goods and services, while reducing air pollution. These bikes offer a variety of other benefits as well. 【2】 . They deliver packages 60 percent faster than cars or trucks, while bikes are more effective at reducing traffic due to their small size. Cargo bikes are also a financially effective alternative to a truck or a car. First of all, they cost less to buy in advance. 【3】 . Besides, maintenance and repair costs are cheaper too.
【4】 . Many Scottish cities have teamed up with delivery service company DHL to put these cargo bikes to use. And there, DHL is piloting electric-powered cargo bikes for small deliveries to create more healthy urban environments in its cities. New York City also included Amazon on their list of delivery companies using cargo bikes that are newly permitted to park in commercial loading zones to help get trucks off the city’s crowded streets.
【5】 . Not only have these bikes already been used by many cities worldwide, but these cargo bikes have the ability to deliver 25 percent of goods and 50 percent of light deliveries in cities. It seems certain that this greener means of transportation for deliveries can look forward to a bright and sustained presence in the world’s urban centers.
A.The future for cargo bikes is promising
B.People think that cargo bikes cause damage
C.They have an effect on the urban environment
D.Second, they do not require the purchase of fuel
E.The demand for delivery services is increasing quickly
F.It is reported that the use of bikes allows for faster deliveries
G.Many cities have started using this eco-friendly means of deliveries
22、 Every two or three months, Thyago Ohana goes out on the busy streets of Vienna with a sign saying "Free Hugs". The handsome 32-year-old Brazilian, who works in international trade at India's Vienna embassy, chooses a popular site, like the historic shopping street, Kaerntner Strasse. There he opens his arms to anyone who wants a hearty embrace(拥抱).
He does it because back in 2012, when he was feeling very stressed and anxious during a visit to Paris, a stranger gave him a free hug. He's never forgotten how it filled him with unexpected calm and joy.
For those who take up his offer, the hug makes them laugh and smile. But sometimes it does more, as when an elderly woman in a tour group stopped and watched him. The group moved on, but she remained and asked, "Can I have a hug?" "Of course you can!" said Thyago who wrapped his arms round her. When they broke their embrace, she kept holding onto his shoulders and looked into his eyes. "Thank you," she said. "I can't remember the last time I was hugged this way."
It's a memory that still makes Thyago emotional. "It was a really powerful moment of human connection. It's why 1 keep doing it."
Of our five senses, our sense of touch is the one that is most easily taken for granted. "A child can be born blind or deaf and they will grow up just fine," says David J Linden, author of Touch: The Science of Hand, Heart, and Mind. "Yet if a baby is lacking in loving social touch for the first two years of life, then all sorts of disasters unfold." That's one reason why when babies are born, they are now usually placed on their mother's skin.
Linden says however you do it, "maximizing touch in your life is a good thing"- whether holding hands, petting a dog, going to the hairdresser, hugging our kids, our partners or even a
stranger.
【1】Why did Thyago Ohana offer free hugs to strangers?
A.He longed for calm and joy.
B.He felt stressed and upset.
C.He wanted others to feel connected and cared.
D.He hoped to help others cure their diseases.
【2】What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 suggest?
A.Our sense of touch isn't so important.
B.Our sense of touch is undervalued.
C.Our sense of touch does no good to us.
D.Our sense of touch is thought highly of.
【3】What does David J Linden think of social touch?
A.The way of offering social touch counts.
B.Offering hugs is the best way to get social touch.
C.Blind kids will be cured as long as they get enough social touch.
D.Many problems can be tracked back to babyhood short of social touch.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A health magazine. B.A research paper.
C.A guide book. D.A biology textbook.
23、 In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide acts rather like a one-way mirror the glass in the roof of a greenhouse which allows the sun's rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping.
According to a weather expert's prediction, the atmosphere wilbe3C warmer in the year 2050thanitis today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present rate.If this warming up took place, the icecaps in the poles would begin to melt thus raising sea level several meters and severely flooding coastal cities.Also, the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere(半球) , possibly resulting in an alteration of the earth's chief food-growing zones.
In the past, concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet.But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic, which maybe affected by only a few degrees of warming:in other words, by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels.
Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing.The evidence available suggests that a warming has taken place.This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.
However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere, where temperatures seem to be falling Scientists conclude,therefore,that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man.The question is:Which natural cause has most effect on the weather?
One possibility is the variable behavior of the sun.Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and“cold”spots(that is, the relatively less hot spots) on the sun.As the sun rotates(旋转) , every 27.5 days it presents hotter or“colder”faces to the earth, and different aspects to different parts of the earth.This seems to have a considerable effect on the distribution of the earth's atmospheric pressure, and consequently on wind circulation.The sun is also variable over along term:its heat output goes up and down in cycles, the latest trend being downward.
Scientists are now finding mutual relations between models of solar-weather interactions and the actual climate over many thousands of years, including the last Ice Age.The problem is that the models are predicting that the world should be entering a new Ice Age and it is not.One way of solving this theoretical difficulty is to assume a delay of thousands of years while the solar effects overcome the inertia(惯性) of the earth's climate.If this is right,the warming effect of carbon dioxide might thus be serving as a useful counter-balance to the sun's diminishing(减少) heat.
【1】Why is the fuel consumption greater in then or them hemisphere, but temperatures there seem to be falling?
A.Mainly because the levels of carbon dioxide are rising.
B.Possibly because the output of solar energy varies.
C.Because the inertia of the earth's climate take effect.
D.Possibly because the icecaps in the poles are melting
【2】On the basis of their models, scientists are of the opinion that
A.the climate of the world should be becoming cooler
B.the new Ice Age will be delayed by the greenhouse effect
C.the man-made warming effect helps to increase the solar effects
D.it will take thousands of years for the inertia of the earth's climate to take effect
【3】If the assumption about the delay of a new Ice Age is correct, .
A.the best way to overcome the cooling effect would be to burn more fuels
B.ice would soon cover the northern hemisphere
C.the increased levels of carbon dioxide would warm up the earth quickly
D.the greenhouse effect could work to the advantage of the earth
【4】The purpose of the article is to explain .
A.the greenhouse effect
B.the solar effects on the earth
C.the models of solar-weather interactions
D.the causes affecting weather
