21、The South Pole has been warming at more than three times the global average over the past 30 years, according to research led by Ohio University professor Ryan Fogt, and Kyle Clem, who is a current postdoctoral research fellow in climate science. According to the study, this warming period was mainly driven by natural tropical (热带的) climate variability and was likely strengthened by increases in greenhouse gases.
Clem and his team analyzed weather station data at the South Pole, as well as climate models to examine the warming in the Antarctic interior (内陆). They found that between 1989 and 2018, the South Pole had warmed by about 1. 8℃ over the past 30 years at a rate of +0. 6℃ per decade—three times the global average.
The study also found that the strong warming over the Antarctic interior in the last 30 years was mainly driven by the tropics, especially warm ocean temperatures in the western tropical Pacific Ocean that changed the winds in the South Atlantic near Antarctica and increased the delivery of warm air to the South Pole. They suggest these atmospheric changes along Antarctica's coast are an important mechanism driving climate anomalies (异常事物) in its interior.
Clem and Fogt argue that these warming trends were unlikely the result of natural climate change alone, stressing the effects of added warming related to human activities on top of the large tropical climate signal on Antarctic climate have worked together to make this one of the strongest warming trends worldwide.
“From the very beginning, Kyle and I worked very well together and were able to accomplish more as a team than we were individually,” Fogt said. “We have published every year together since 2013, with one of our continuing collaborations being the annual State of the Climate reports. Our work on this project together each year ultimately led to this publication documenting the warming at the South Pole. However, most importantly for my family and me, apart from being a fantastic scientist and collaborator, Kyle is also considered as one of our closest friends.”

22、It’s 2076 and the skies are looking decidedly milky. On windy plains and in parts of the seas that have been turned over to wind farms, a different kind of tower has been built alongside the turbines (涡轮). They take in CO2 out of the atmosphere. Vast parcels of land have been given over to forest. Trees are grown, harvested and burned for energy in power plants that don’t let CO2 escape to the atmosphere. Instead, emissions are captured and driven underground. Powdered minerals are put into the water to absorb CO2 and reduce ocean acidification.
All these technologies are a desperate action to reverse more than two centuries of greenhouse gas emissions. But they are not entirely up to the task and, anyway, we are still releasing greenhouse gases. “I think it’s very likely that in 60 years we’ll be using both technologies,” says John Shepherd of the University of Southampton, UK. He is referring to the two flavors of geoengineering: absorbing CO2 out of the air and using a sunshade to reflect some of the sun’s rays back out into space.
There is no denying that climate talks are going too slowly and not so smoothly. Even if industrial emissions were to drop rapidly — a big if — some sections pose an intractable problem. We have no real replacement for aeroplane fuel and feeding people demands intensive agriculture, which accounts for a quarter of global emissions.
Computer models suggest there will be winners and losers. While a sunshade could lower global average temperatures to pre-industrial levels, there would be regional differences. Northern Europe, Canada, Siberia and the poles would remain warmer than they were, and temperatures over the oceans would be cooler. Global warming is predicted to make wet regions wetter and dry ones drier. Models suggest a sunshade would correct this, but, again, not in a uniform way.
Shepherd fears all this will feed into international arguments. He imagines some kind of global council where governments seek a climate that meets their needs. Some might prefer a slightly warmer temperature, for tourism or agriculture. But nations whose coral reefs (珊瑚礁) draw in visitors will probably want more CO2 absorbing technologies.
In spite of all these concerns, most scientists hold that revolutionary technology and people’s awakening can shine a light on solutions in ways that are impossible now. There is undoubtedly a long way to go when we address problems facing mankind, but we can always anticipate something.
【1】What is described in the first paragraph?
A.Future scenery and farming methods.
B.The development of transport technology.
C.The serious pollution problem in the very near future.
D.Future technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
【2】The word “intractable” in paragraph 4 most probably means “______”.
A.solvable
B.untypical
C.tricky
D.existing
【3】It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A.climate talks haven’t achieved the expected results
B.industrial emissions will decrease greatly in 60 years
C.technologies to reduce CO2 emission aren’t used properly for now
D.sunshades outshine intensive agriculture at capturing CO2 emissions
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Effective CO2 absorbing technologies have come into wide use.
B.With greenhouse gas reduced, global warming can be addressed.
C.Future climate will improve with human efforts but threats still remain.
D.Future climate will restore to a normal state with advanced technology.
23、 European architecture in Tianjin is a window showing China’s historical changes. In a one-day tour, you can see some old western-style private residences, former Imperial Gardens and enjoy Tianjin snacks, like a time traveler.
The Garden of Jingyuan
The Garden of Jingyuan was constructed in 1921. It’s now an excellent example of an old private residence in Tianjin, which is now well-preserved. The last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi, once lived here after his abdication(退位), from July 1929 to November 1931. He changed the name to Jingyuan, which references his desire to strengthen and ennoble his spirit by living in a peaceful environment.
Address: 70 Anshan Road, Heping District
Transport: Anshan Road (Subway Line 1)
Tickets & Opening Hours: Closed Monday; Tuesday to Sunday, 8:30-5:00p.m. RMB ¥20 per person
Zhangyuan Garden
This grand mansion was built in 1915 by Zhang Biao, a former high-ranking official in the Qing Court. In 1924, Dr. Sun Yat-sen and his wife Soong Ching Ling stayed in it for several months. In 1925, Puyi, the last emperor of China, had a brief stay here after his abdication from Beijing. It is certainly a strange coincidence that the founder of the Republic of China and the last emperor chose exactly the same place to live, though at different times.
The mansion is visible from the street, but the buildings and gardens are not open to the public at present.
Italianate Street
Nearly 200 European-style buildings have been conserved in the old Italian Concession(租借地)and form the modern --Italian-style Street on the north bank of the Haihe River. The street has been developed as a shopping center and entertainment district. A square named after Marco Polois surrounded by numerous Italianate large buildings. Pictures of their former residences will be a highlight of your photo albums.
Address: The Cross Between Shengli Road and Ziyou Road, Hebei District
Transport: Jianguo Road (Subway Line 2)
Tickets & Opening Hours: Access all day for nothing

24、It is lunchtime. At a long table inside a restaurant, some young people sit together over lunch. There is less conversation than you might expect from a typical group of friends: a boy seems to talk only to himself, and a girl looks anxious.
These young people met through a program organized by the nonprofit Actionplay, where young people with autism work together to write and stage a musical. Each Sunday, they work and have lunch together. “You meet other people just like you,” says Lexi Spindel. “That was the first time my daughter had a friend,” says Lexi’s father. “That never happened before Actionplay.”
For decades, scientists have supposed people with autism don’t have or need friends. A new research is forcing a rethink of those long-held beliefs. Autistic people report they want friends. One significant barrier to friendships is common people’s opinion that autistic people are not interested in connecting with them. Appearing uninterested, however, is not always the same as being uninterested. An autistic child looking uninterested in games may in fact be overcome by the noise. And behaviors like clapping hands repeatedly are a way to manage their anxiety and uncertainty, not a sign of their low social interest.
For some autistic people, friendships develop through experimental programs. In a program Lerner developed, participants play a game called Gibberish. where teenagers must interpret each other’s intentions without using real language. The point is not to get it right. but to attend to what the other person is doing in a way that creates opportunities to connect.
Lerner’s ideas were inspired by a moment 16 years ago after he established a small camp for children with autism called Spotlight. On the second day an l1-year-old boy ran up and pulled his clothes. “Lerner, Lerner, where did you find these kids?”
“All over the place,” Lerner answered. “Everyone wants to come to camp, just like you.”
“This is the first normal group of kids I have never met.” the boy said.
【1】The scene in paragraph 1 is described to ________.
A.reveal the lack of an interpersonal conversation
B.prove the difficulty in reducing teenage anxiety
C.stress the great necessity of forming friendships
D.show the different behavior of a particular group
【2】What is Actionplay aimed at?
A.Curing young people of autism.
B.Developing autistic people’s taste in art.
C.Offering autistic people a social platform.
D.Improving young people’s family relationship.
【3】What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A.Autistic people have no intention to make friends.
B.Noise sets barriers to autistic people’s views on games.
C.Repetitive movements make autistic people feel secure.
D.Common beliefs cause autistic people’s low social interest.
【4】What does the underlined sentence imply?
A.He feels at ease with his autistic fellows.
B.He no longer regards himself as an autistic kid.
C.Lerner’s guidance helps him get out of autism.
D.Autistic kids don’t long to socialize with normal ones.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
When I hear people showing off of a work as yet undone, and trying to anticipate the credit which belongs only to actual achievement! Call to mind that scene by the riverside and the wise caution of my uncle. Our uncle who lived with us was a quiet, good-natured man, much given to hunting and fishing; and it was one of the pleasures of our young life to accompany him on his trips to Great Hill, Brandy-brow Woods, the Pond, and, best of all, to the Country Brook. We were quite willing to work hard in the cornfield or the dry grass stack (垛) to finish the necessary day’s labor in season for an afternoon wander through the woods and along the riverside.
I remember my first fishing outing as if it were but yesterday. I have been happy many times in my life, but never more intensely so than when I received that first fishing pole from my uncle’s hand, and walked with him through the woods and grasslands. It was a still, sweet day of early summer; the long afternoon shadows of the trees lay cool across our path; the leaves seemed greener, the flowers brighter, the birds merrier, than ever before.
My uncle, who knew by long experience where the best spots of fish were, considerately placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line as I had so often seen others, and waited anxiously for a bile, moving the bait (诱饵) in rapid drags on the surface of the water to copy the leap of a frog. Nothing came of it. “Try again,” said my uncle. Suddenly he bait sank out of sight. “Now for it,” thought I; “here is a fish at last.” I made a strong pull, and brought up a mess of weeds. Again and again 1 cast out my line with aching arms, and drew it back empty. I looked at my uncle appealingly. “Try once more,” he said; “we fishermen must have patience.”
