21、For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted to the cold dry climates of the ice age, but until now, no one has reached a satisfying answer.

Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming. Nowadays, the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year; equal to the total amount of CO2 giving off in the U. K. each year. But how will the Amazon react to future climate change? If it gets drier, will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.

On the one hand, getting into the Amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult. On the other hand, to study past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen (花粉) kept in lake mud. Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments (沉淀物), which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and planes. Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rives completely unsampled. So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change.

【1】Scientists have been arguing about how the Amazon might have ________ the cold dry climates of the ice age.

A．changed in response to

B．destroyed

C．influenced

D．protected

【2】Rainforests are important for ________ CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming.

A．taking in

B．releasing

C．increasing

D．producing

【3】Nowadays, the CO2 the trees in the Amazon remove equals to the total amount of giving off in ________ each year.

A．the U.S.A.

B．the U.K.

C．England

D．Brazil

【4】Scientists research about how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past so that they may learn in advance about how the rainforests ________.

A．draw down CO2

B．still protect the soil

C．will get smaller

D．will manage in the future

【5】The way to go back to last ice age is to ________.

A．get into the forest

B．drill deep down into lake sediments

C．find some lake mud

D．look at fossilized pollen

【6】We may infer from the last paragraph that ________.

A．it’s possible to enter the Amazon through rivers to get enough information

B．so far, scientists have collected some information from the samples

C．it’s necessary to use helicopters for the research

D．there’s little information to study the past climate

22、On Nov.18th,1908,three men went up in a balloon（气球）.They started early in London. The headman was Augusta Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.

Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope（绳子）,and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight. It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand.

After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 meters, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men's basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.

At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing, so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 kilometers from London!

24、       Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying (摧毁) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged (破坏) that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.

A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. “I was eating with my wife and children when we heard a loud noise,” he said, “A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened.”

Mrs. Woo Meifong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.

“There was no time to take anything,” she said, “A few minutes later, the roof came down.”

Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded (水淹的) area and the welfare department (福利机构) brought them food, clothes and shelter.

25、根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。

A person has two ears but only one mouth. That means we should listen, not just speak. The word “listen” has the same letters as the word “silent(沉默)”. 【1】  silently is a good quality(品质) that we should have. Then why is it important to be a good listener?

When someone is under too much 【2】  from his work or study, he may show his poor feelings. It’s easy for him to get upset or angry. At this moment, we need to listen quietly first 【3】 he gets calm(冷静的). Then we may have a good talk with him. Maybe it is a good way to help him 【4】.

Sometimes, we may think our parents are always talking too much. But in fact, they do so because they are worried about our health or just expect to help us if we have difficulty 【5】  our study. If we listen carefully and patiently, our parents will feel we care about them. A loving silence is often more powerful than words.

Sometimes, we just want others to listen to us but forget to listen to others. If so, don’t be 【6】  when others get unhappy suddenly( 突然). That’s because you are not polite(礼貌) and you may not realize it. In order to show our respect( 尊重)for others, we’d better listen to them first. Then we can tell them 【7】  we are thinking.

Easier said than done. Every head is a world. So we should learn to listen with our ears, eyes and hearts as much as we can, and try to 【8】 ourselves good listeners from now on.
